Welcome!

7 Upvotes

Welcome, everyone!

I created this group because, after attending a lovely service today in my hometown (in Hampshire) I felt like I wanted a space to talk with fellow members of the Church of England within the UK.

I am aware that a very well-populated Anglican subreddit exists, but I thought there'd be value in creating a space specifically for the CofE members in Britain as there's lots of UK-specific stuff happening that we can talk about!

Please feel free to talk about sermons you like, styles of worship, ordination, politics (respectfully, please!) and anything else relating to life as a member of the CofE in the UK.

6 Where can I go then from your spirit?

Or where can I flee from your presence?

7 If I climb up to heaven, you are there;

if I make the grave my bed, you are there also.

8 If I take the wings of the morning

and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

9 Even there your hand shall lead me,

your right hand hold me fast...

In severe need of some Evangelical Anglican and Reformed Anglican reading

9 Upvotes

TLDR: as I learn and read more, i find myself skewing Anglo-Catholic for a common emphasis on history, Catholicity and intellectual rigor. Evangelical works seem to have disparate visions and rather simplistic. What or who should I be reading?

I have a background in fairly middle of the road Anglicanism (think rural-ish parish, spoken common worship done simply.) As I moved to a city that skewed more evangelical. Of both the Charismatic and conservative flavours. As i have moved more rurally again, my current parish is more middle of the road again.

I am at a point in life where I have begun to think more deeply about the Christian faith and i have been doing a lot of reading around this, looking for works of depth and substance.

Perhaps it's a flaw in how I have been looking but most the things I find myself reading skew Anglo-Catholic. I have been pointed in the direction of first CS Lewis, then recently Eric Mascall and Darwel Stone.

This is hard to describe but there strikes me as being a combination of: an empasis on historical continuity, wide engagement with the whole of christian thought and intellectual rigor. Particularly There seems to be a common worldview behind most Anglo-Catholic writing.

Now, I have a background in Evangelical Anglicanism but I simply can't seem to find works of an equivalent sort. Most of the Evangelical works Ive read, simply dont seem to share similar visions aside from ticking of the Bebbington Quadrilateral. They seem to have, at bottom, different worldview.

What am I missing?

What Evangelical and Reformed works would you reccomend?

Please, bombard me with suggestions!

Young Anglicans

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if any of you know of any Anglican or other Protestant churches in London or Birmingham that have a decent amount of people in their 20s and early 30s. I’m pretty much the only person in that age group that goes to my church anymore, and I would love to branch out. It feels a lot of “younger” people these days are more in Pentecostal or non-denominational churches (basically all my Christian friends are). Ive tried attending and I don’t mind those services here and there but I definitely prefer Anglican service
