Eastern Rite Anglicanism

I think this is a fantastic development within the Anglican Communion. It is a perfect example of the growth and continued development of the Anglican Tradition and its diversity of spiritual understanding.

What this means for the Anglican Churches is the option and inclusion of the beautiful and mystic Byzantine/ Eastern Orthodox liturgy in church worship. It is an attempt to bridge the gap between the western and eastern catholic/orthodox traditions of the Christian faith. I support it. The eastern rites are also compatible with Anglican theology as they are Patristic practices, and in some areas share similarities with Anglican teachings.

In my view this should be a welcomed development within Anglicanism and to a further extent all Traditional Christian liturgies should be freely accepted and used in accordance with church Tradition and Scripture.

If you support this join the Face book group and sign up to their newsletters. I have.
