AnglicanWiki:About
About AnglicanWiki
AnglicanWiki is a collaborative online resource dedicated to the history, theology, liturgy, and people of the Anglican tradition. It is modeled after OrthodoxWiki but adapted for Anglican distinctives.
Our aim is to provide accurate, faithful, and accessible articles that help clergy, laity, scholars, and seekers understand Anglicanism in all its richness.
Purpose
- To serve as a **reference tool** for the Anglican tradition worldwide.
- To provide reliable articles about **history, doctrine, liturgy, saints, and parishes**.
- To connect Anglicans across jurisdictions by highlighting our **shared faith and practice**.
Editorial Perspective
AnglicanWiki affirms the historic Christian faith as received in the Anglican tradition:
- Grounded in **Holy Scripture**.
- Interpreted through the **ecumenical creeds** and the **ancient councils**.
- Shaped by the **Anglican formularies** (the Book of Common Prayer, the Ordinal, the Thirty-Nine Articles).
We recognize the legitimacy of:
- The **Anglican Church in North America (ACNA)**
- The **Reformed Episcopal Church (REC)**
- Faithful churches in the **Continuing Anglican movement**
We do not promote:
- Revisionist theology (e.g., same-sex marriage, denial of biblical authority).
- Practices that depart from historic Anglican consensus.
Contributing
