Music: So far we have decided to use ‘Renew’ hymnal, described like this, ‘Born in the worship renewal, this songbook brings together the best from traditional and contemporary worship. Following the biblical and historic fourfold pattern of worship Gathering, The Word, Offering Thanksgiving (Eucharist) and Dismissal.’ Liturgy: Our liturgical worship booklet is drawn from the 2004 Irish Book of Common Prayer because it is the most modern of Anglican Liturgies but yet keeps the integrity of the classical principles of our tradition. We have the service printed on a booklet for easy use. Even if you are not experienced in liturgy you will find this approach helpful in bringing you closer to God in worship. Participation: Your participation and ideas are welcome. This fellowship is being shaped by those who are becoming involved. Later we will have a more formal launch of the service. We will become more visible in Manassas with local mission projects and fellowship opportunities. look within this website for upcoming events, or suggest one yourself! We appreciate the invitation from our brothers and sisters in Christ at Crossway fellowship to meet at their excellent facility.

Having grown up in a small Episcopal church in North Carolina, I was raised on the old Book of Common Prayer – the words, canticles and cadences settled themselves into my mind and heart, and those early years have had a great impact on my faith. Since those days, I have learned more and more about our Anglican heritage, our heroes, our highs and lows. I find my theological home in the Anglicanism of Cranmer, Whitfield, Simeon, and Stott. I am grateful for our rich and varied heritage. There’s a great need for churches in our Anglican tradition in the world today. Why? Because we exhibit an unusual collection of characteristics. Every church is different. The Baptists have their great traditions, the Methodists have their great strengths, the Roman Catholics, the Greek Orthodox, they all have such strengths. But we’re Anglican, and we’re grateful for it, because it’s something very, very special. Anglicanism at its best has always been known for several key qualities, some of which I list below: Continue reading What is Anglicanism? – John Yeats Yes check out the stories and opportunity for dialogue on some of the developing issues at AFiM Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, was struck by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake on Tuesday, January 11. The quake was centered southwest of Port-au-Prince, a city of about 2 million inhabitants. Aftershocks have sparked fear and panic. Reports indicate that most buildings – including hospitals, relief agencies and churches – have collapsed or are unsafe. There is extensive loss of life, and unimaginable injury. The Anglican Relief and Development Fund (ARDF) is working with our partners to respond with assistance to the victims. “Having led several medical missions to Haiti in the 1970s and 80s, I am particularly concerned for our response to those good and suffering people in our hemisphere’s poorest country. We Anglican Christians need to respond to the devastation both with our prayers and resources,” said Archbishop Robert Duncan.Thank you to all church members who had already given to the recovery work in Haiti through our support of ARDF. You can continue to give through the church or do it directly. Continue reading URGENT: Earthquake Devastates Haiti, Anglicans Mobilize for Relief |
