Institute for Anglican Studies
The establishment of the Institute for Anglican Studies is a response to what many perceive to be a crisis of identity in the Anglican Church. There is a lack of clarity in what Anglicanism has to offer contemporary society. Fifty years ago, church-going Anglicans had some sense that the Anglican tradition was tried and tested. Anglicans believed it was a ‘via media’ between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. It kept a balance.
This confidence is being challenged as the world-wide communion faces controversial issues. The future is not so clear. We find ourselves asking, “What is it that we have to offer?”
I hope that you will be encouraged to join us on an annual journey as we re-discover Anglicanism as a living, vibrant expression of Christian faith.
