Reasons for being a Traditional Anglican:

We believe...

 THE FAITH IS UNCHANGING

 “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.” Jude 3

“But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.” Romans 6:17

"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.”   II Timothy 6:20-21

 The noble deposit of truth from Jesus Christ to the Apostles is unchanging. Traditional Episcopalians acknowledge the responsibility to teach and defend the Apostolic truth regardless of time or culture.  All Saints' Anglican Church is unwavering in its stand to hold to the Faith as it was delivered to all saints.
 

 HOLY SCRIPTURE ALONE IS THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD

 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”  II Timothy 3:16

 “Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.” Jeremiah 30:2

 “For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the Word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.” I Thessalonians 4:1

 That the Word of God is ‘inspired’ means quite literally that it is “God breathed” and is as unchanging as God Himself. For any man or institution to elevate itself above the revealed mind and will of God is a great sin. Traditional Episcopalians acknowledge the responsibility to believe every word that proceeds from the mouth of God and ‘to teach nothing contrary to God’s Word written.’ (Article 20). The Christian Episcopal Church requires all of its clergy to affirm the inspiration of Scripture and defend it at all costs.

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS MINISTERS HAVE A DIVINE MANDATE TO FULFILL

 “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices” I St. Peter 2:5

“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” I Corinthians 3:11

“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the Church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood.”  Acts 20:28

 The Church is not a man-made, non-profit, corporation but is the Body of Christ and must fulfill His will without compromise.
