This site is dedicated to the traditional Anglican expression of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We profess the orthodox Christian Faith enshrined in the three great Creeds and the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the ancient undivided Church. We celebrate the Seven Sacraments of the historic Church. We cherish and continue the Catholic Revival inaugurated by the Tractarian or Oxford Movement. Not tepid centrist Anglicanism.

The Anglican Ordinal
If sacramental ordination of ministers from protestant communions who lack Apostolic Orders is inappropriate, then what does one do with the preface to the Ordinal of 1662, which is an authoritative Anglican formulary?:'No man shall be accounted or taken to be a lawful Bishop, Priest, or Deacon, in this Church... except he be called, tried, examined, and admitted thereunto, according to the Form hereafter following, or hath had Episcopal Consecration or Ordination.'Any wilful ongoing rejection of this axiomatic formulary, which has been binding on the Church of England and her daughter Churches since the Restoration, is simply un-Anglican, not to mention contumacious.
