Euangelion
Just read a very interesting piece at ABP News about a Virginian Baptist church that looks deliberately Anglican.
Sunday mornings at All Souls Charlottesville are fairly common for an Anglican congregation. The Book of Common Prayer and the Revised Common Lectionary are standard, creeds are spoken together, the Eucharist is the central focus of the liturgy and the minister blesses the congregation before it scatters back into the world. But the Charlottesville, Va., congregation isn’t an Episcopal church. It’s Baptist — in fact it’s a plant of the Baptist General Association of Virginia and is celebrating its fifth anniversary in 2014.
As an ex-Baptist, post-Presbyterian Anglican, I’m very encouraged … or should I be concerned?
