On the Validity of Anglican Orders

By Father Mark Perkins - On Earth & Altar

Why did Pope Leo XIII declare Anglican orders "absolutely null and utterly void" in his 1896 papal bull Apostolicae curae?...

All holy Angels and Archangels and all holy orders of blessed spirits, pray for us.

Crisis about the Real Objective Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

Anglican Catholics believe... The Eucharist is different from all other Sacraments, in that all other Sacraments convey or communicate the grace or life of Christ to those who receive them, but in the Blessed Sacrament, we do not only receive grace - but Christ Himself. Jesus Christ is the Blessed Sacrament, for It is His Most Blessed Body and Blood, present really, truly, and objectively in and under the outward form and elements of Bread and Wine (I Corinthians 10.16-17). The Eucharist is the Lord Jesus, True God and True Man, the whole and entire Person of Christ, present in a heavenly, supernatural, glorified manner, truly present under the forms of the Sacrament. Jesus Christ is present in the Eucharist in His glorified Body and Blood, the Resurrection-Body (I Corinthians 15.44), given to us as heavenly food and drink, as spiritual nourishment for our souls and bodies, to unite us with Himself in His own incarnate human life.

DEUS Synod Recap and Review at Earth and Altar

DEUS Synod Recap and Review

By Fr. Sean McDermott

Here at Earth & Altar, the DEUS Synod was busy and fruitful.
We had been appointed to give the plenary talks along with all of our usual duties in the services
and meetings.
Fr. Glenn spent the early part of the week on the Board of Examining Chaplains;
Fr. Mark passed his final exams for the priesthood; and I, well, I just drank a lot of good coffee.

This diocesan Synod was especially important because we elected a Bishop Coadjutor.
We only did one vote, a great sign of unity, and Bishop Chad Jones is our first Coadjutor
Bishop ever elected in the APA. Right after the election, we gave our plenary talks as well.
Over the whole week, we all sensed a great spirit of charity--
this was quite a blessing giving the important election.
I am very proud to be part of the APA: DEUS, and I look forward to the future of our province....

Bishop Coadjutor

Please pray for me - the Diocese of the Eastern United States of the Anglican Province of America elected me Bishop Coadjutor on Thursday 18th July 2019 - God bless you all.

Synod 2019

The Synod of the Diocese of the Eastern United States of the Anglican Province of America will gather from Monday 15th July until Friday 19th July 2019 in Orlando, Florida. This year the Synod is sponsored by Saint Alban's Cathedral, Oviedo, Florida. At this impending Synod, we shall experience a very rare and momentous event, the election of a Bishop Coadjutor for the Diocese. A Bishop Coadjutor is literally a Bishop 'Co-Assistant,' one who supports and assists the Bishop Ordinary and shares his Apostolic jurisdiction. A Coadjutor possesses right of succession to the Bishop Ordinary upon the latter's retirement.

Please pray for our imminent Coadjutor election, that this process may be a peaceful and unifying milestone in the life of our Church, and that God the Holy Ghost will, in His grace and mercy, powerfully lead and guide the Diocese in the choice of its future chief shepherd, teacher, and leader.
