Anglicanism 101 Anglican Polity

[@peterglenn2670]

In the Church of England, vicar and rector are generally interchangeable in terms of title - the only difference is where historically their stipend came from

As an Anglican Diocesan Archivist in Sydney, Australia, I loved this!

Basic Anglican distinctives: Apostolic Succession, bishops, and Book of Common Prayer.

Pls be informed that Lord Jesus Christ never ordained female apostles.

[@hesedagape6122]

He did not ordain any Apostles. In his time a Rabbi who takes it upon himself to teach other Rabbis was an Apostle which is why Bishops are said to have Teaching authority over the other clergy

Not all Archbishops are Primates, and not all Primates are Archbishops. England has two Archbishops, Canterbury and York, and the Archbishop of Canterbury is always the Primate. In Australia there are 5 Archbishops, a Metropolitan in the largest city of each of the provinces in Australia, and one Primate of the whole country who is elected and is usually one of the Archbishops but could also be anyone of the other 18 Diocesan Bishops in Australia. There are also 23 other Australian bishops who are assistants to Archbishops or Diocesan Bishops or a few other special roles such as Bishop to the Australian Defence Forces.

Dude, you’ve been consecrating “heretical bishops” for 20 years!

[@ap777t9]

Do you realize the Anglican communion is dying…due to many of the things you are proclaiming as positives!
