  • An Outline of an Anglican Life
    A N O U T L I N E OF AN ANGLICAN LIFE Lessons in the Faith and Practice of the Anglican Church LOUIS R. TARSITANO Used by permission Introduction LESSON ONE: The Church LESSON TWO: The Doctrine of God LESSON THREE: Sin, Salvation & Grace LESSON FOUR: The Dominical Sacraments LESSON FIVE: The Minor Sacraments LESSON Six: The Holy Scriptures LESSON SEVEN: The Book of Common Prayer LESSON EIGHT: The Polity of the Church LESSON NINE: Moral Theology LESSON TEN: A Church Miscellany APPENDIX I: Participation in an Anglican Service APPENDIX II: The Via Media APPENDIX III: The "Textus Receptus" APPENDIX IV: Canon Law APPENDIX V: A Final Examination Notes 1 INTRODUCTION What follows is a "survey course" on the general Faith and Practice of the Anglican Church that began as a series of questions and answers for use in preparing and conducting Confirmation and Inquirers' Classes in Anglican churches—a purpose I have by no means abandoned. No written outline can replace the personal contributions of the pastors and teachers charged with educating the people of God. They must teach the classes, and they must select what portions of these lessons are appropriate to the ages and educational levels of their students. All I have attempted to do is to make their important job easier: to give them a place to begin. Anyone who has tried to teach others for any amount of time will know exactly what I mean. I have used my notes and earlier versions of this course for a number of years, and so I have included here articles based on questions my students have actually asked, as well as those things I am convinced a Christian ought to know (whether he asks or not).

  • Randolph H. Mckim: Lost Cause Conservative, Episcopal Liberal
    Randolph H. McKim: Lost Cause Conservative, Episcopal Liberal STEVE LONGENECKER On the evening of 1 July 1863, Lieutenant Randolph H. McKim and his unit, the Second Maryland, CSA, marched into Gettys- burg, Pennsylvania, and took a position southeast of the town at the base of Culp’s Hill. As the Marylanders waited for battle—the pause was almost twenty-four hours—McKim led them and another unit in worship. Then, when battle began, McKim and three enlisted men replenished dwindling ammunition by emptying several boxes into blankets attached to fence rails and lugging the configuration up the hill under the July sun. Four bullets struck the pious lieutenant, but he was not seriously injured.1 One year after the brush with death on Culp’s Hill, McKim became a military chaplain, and when peace returned, he en- joyed a successful career as an influential Episcopal rector. As a veteran and former chaplain, McKim spoke frequently and published often to defend what he and the Second Maryland sought to accomplish at Culp’s Hill and beyond. In fact, McKim became a prominent promoter of the Lost Cause, a romantic, unapologetic defense of the Confederacy, and in this role McKim was conservative with the past central to his worldview. 1 Randolph H. McKim, A Soldier’s Recollections: Leaves from the Diary of a Young Confederate (New York., 1910), 184-85, 194-95, 201. McKim says that ‘‘one of our staff’’ led worship at the foot of Culp’s Hill, but elsewhere he stated that he led services ‘‘on the battlefield’’ (210) and the assumption is that he did it.

    The Church of the Epiphany Washington, D.C. 1. A Summary of Its Historic, Cultural, and Architectural Significance Long before setting foot inside its doors, people know The Church of the Epiphany by its bells. “Your bells guide me through the day,” a nearby office worker once related. When the bells malfunction or stop ringing, the church is barraged with phone calls from people concerned about their status. With the bells’ Westminster chime ringing the hour, it is said that meetings in downtown Washington always begin on time.. Epiphany’s influence and embrace of its community has a long history of going beyond its walls. [see Appendix A: photograph of church surrounded by office buildings] When Epiphany was founded in 1842, Washington had only been the nation’s capital for a short time. The population of the newly-created city was just over 30,000. The city had its share of fits and starts, as did the new church. A congregation that was founded in the wake of the financial Panic of 1837 was sensitive to the needs of the community and from the beginning reached out to help those in need. When it came time to build a church building, it was to the community that Epiphany turned for help. Even the rector was dispatched to the White House three blocks away to ask President Tyler for financial assistance. John Harkness, a local architect and the acclaimed “chief church builder of Washington” at the time, constructed the original portion of the church structure in 1843. It is hard to know what statement was being made about local architects of the day when Harkness was described in the minutes of Epiphany’s vestry (church governing body) as “a Methodist, and an honest man.” The original one story building was rectangular, 54 feet wide and 85 feet deep, constructed of brick and topped with a low slate roof.
