What do we believe?

The beliefs of Anglicans can be considered quite diverse. The official standard is the Book of Common Prayer but some parts of that book are more clearly doctrinal than others.

The ecumenical creeds, both Nicene and Apostles, are used by the Anglican Communion in its worship day by day and week by week. They are ancient and universal statements of Christian faith. In addition, many Anglican churches follow ancient tradition and include the Athanasian Creed among their statements of faith.

The Diocese of Texas offers an 'Anglican primer' online, and you might like to look at the sections on Scripture, tradition, and reason in the church; the Book of Common Prayer;  the Sacraments;  and the Creeds.

Another very important ancient statement of faith is the Chalcedonian formula, which defined the limits of Christ logical orthodoxy.

The Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral describes the general ecumenical principles of Anglicans.

The Thirty-Nine Articles were important at the Reformation, and to us, remain so today.
