Holy Catholic CHURCH Anglican RITE Beliefs

---

WE BELIEVE THE HOLY SCRIPTURES to be the revealed Word of God, containing all things necessary to salvation, and that salvation is found only through Jesus Christ.  

WE BELIEVE THE APOSTLES AND NICENE CREEDS to be sufficient statements of personal and standard of Faith and they mean exactly what they say.  

WE BELIEVE IN THE CHRISTIAN MORALITY of the New Testament as the sole guide for the Church.  

WE BELIEVE IN THE SACRED TRADITION of what the Lord Taught, the Apostles Preached, and the Fathers of the Church Preserved.  

WE BELIEVE IN THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS as outward signs of inward and spiritual grace.  

WE BELIEVE IN THE REAL PRESENCE OF CHRIST in the Holy Eucharist and deem it a profound mystery.  

WE RECOGNIZE & SUPPORT the sanctity of human life, beginning at conception.  

WE BELIEVE THAT MARRIAGE, defined as the lifelong union of one man and one woman, is God's loving provision for procreation and family life, and that sex outside such marriage is against God's law.  

WE ACCEPT THE ORDAINED MINISTRY OF MALE Bishops, Priests, and Deacons in Apostolic Succession (as in Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches), where, as in Eastern churches, married men may also be ordained.  

WE WORSHIP using the traditional 1928 Book of Common Prayer, the Anglican Missal, the American Missal, and the 1940 Hymnal. We approve the use of the King James (Authorized) translation of the Bible as well as the Revised Standard Version and the Jerusalem Bible.  

We do not compromise on matters of Faith and Order, Doctrine, Discipline, or Morality.  

HERE WE STAND.
