In his evening sermon yesterday, which God-willing will soon appear on our church website, The Rev'd John Cheeseman reported a conversation he had 40 years ago with Archbishop Michael Ramsey. John asked the Archbishop what he thought of the 39 Articles, which are part of the official doctrinal basis of the Church of England. Ramsey replied, "I intensely dislike them".
John commented that it is no wonder Anglicanism is in the mess that its in.
We could do a lot worse than get back to the 39 Articles which at one time Anglicans were meant to believe.
John pointed out that Articles 11 and 12 are particularly helpful on the relationship between saving faith and good works.
