ANGLICANISM, PART 3

Yesterday's Blog discussed what it meant to be Anglican or to have Anglicanism as part of one's heritage. The Blog by no means suggests that everyone should become an Anglican. In fact, God loves diversity in our manner of worship, does not expect that everyone should begin to worship in the manner of conservative Anglicans, and does not intend that anyone switch from their current religion or denomination in order to become an Anglican. He does however expect that everyone should be as committed to being on his side doctrinally as the most committed Anglicans who began the movement away from Catholicism and its commitment to Papal leadership. While he loves diversity in the manner of worship, he abhors doctrinal diversity.

To God, there is one doctrine of salvation that should form the core of every religious practice from Judaism to Buddhism to Catholicism. He is one God, has one creation, one message of redemption given to the Israelites, one Messiah birthed by Israel, and one manifestation given to the church through the power of the Holy Spirit. When he returns to establish his kingdom, he returns to his entire creation, to whomever desires to welcome and receive him.
