In the broader Christian tradition, baptism has two distinct but overlapping meanings: repentance and rebirth. Reflect on the Nicene Creed's statement "One Baptism for the Forgiveness of Sins" in Alex Fogleman's latest article: anglicancompass.com/we-believe-one…

AnglicanCompass's tweet card. In our confession of one baptism for the forgiveness of sins, we confess something really true about ourselves and God's love for us.

The liturgy and sacrement central to Anglican life calls us to mission! Check out our interview with Winfield Bevins on his book reminding us of our calling to spread the Gospel in our communities and around the world: anglicancompass.com/liturgy-moves-…

AnglicanCompass's tweet card. Separating liturgy and mission is a false dichotomy; in fact liturgy and sacrament are deeply missional, and move us toward mission.

Do the liturgies of Anglicanism limit or hinder the Holy Spirit? NO! Our tradition provides structure for a vibrant faith, just as a fireplace provides a structure for a lovely fire. Winfield Bevins shares more about how we can think of the Holy Spirit in Anglicanism, and the…

"In words too often overlooked by Christians, Jesus proclaimed in his Sermon on the Mount that we are not to think that 'I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them' (Matthew 5:17)." anglicancompass.com/we-believe-who…

AnglicanCompass's tweet card. Due to the issue of Marcionism, the bishops at Constantinople in 381 added that the Holy Spirit “has spoken through the prophets.”

“Who with the Father and the Son, he is worshiped and glorified” Why is this in the creed? It solves a problem: there is no reference in the Bible to the adoration of the Holy Spirit as God. But, if the Holy Spirit is God (and He is), then He must be. anglicancompass.com/we-believe-who…

AnglicanCompass's tweet card. The Holy Spirit is “worshiped and glorified” together with the Father and the Son, both corporately and equally.

You likely don't think of "America the Beautiful" as a hymn, but a close reading of the lyrics might change your mind! In our latest Hymn Guide, Peter Johnston looks at this work from Katherine Lee Bates: anglicancompass.com/hymn-guide-ame…

AnglicanCompass's tweet card. "America the Beautiful" is one of our popular patriotic hymns. But in the church, this hymn is a victim of its own success.

What is the importance of listening to a sermon? Especially as summer vacations disrupt routines, we need to remember why we go to church: to recieve the Word of God and to be among God's People: anglicancompass.com/preaching-and-…

AnglicanCompass's tweet card. If we are anemic in the Christian life, it has something to do with divorcing ourselves from the Word of God and its preaching.

We continue our We Believe series on the Nicene Creed with "And His Kingdom Will Have No End." Joe Colletti (aka "Young Anglican") ruminates on what the idea of God's kingdom means for us: anglicancompass.com/we-believe-and…

AnglicanCompass's tweet card. This line from the Nicene Creed, “and his kingdom will have no end,” is a simple case of Old Testament continuity and fulfillment.

Because we associate "America the Beautiful" with secular gatherings and only remember its first verse, we are often reluctant to sing it in church. However, if we pay attention to the whole hymn, we will realize that it is deeply Christian. anglicancompass.com/hymn-guide-ame…
