Anglican Fever: Youth Flock to New Denomination - US - CBN News - Christian News 24-7 - CBN.com:


CHICAGO -- For decades young people have flocked to seeker-friendly churches that feature culturally relevant services and a casual environment.

Now, a new denomination that emphasizes tradition and centuries-old sacraments and practices is drawing them in.

The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) officially began in 2009 with hundreds of congregations that severed ties with the Episcopal Church.

In Albany Park on Chicago's north side, a group of college students and recent graduates have started one of the ACNA's newest church plants.

They worship on Sunday afternoons, renting a church building that's close to several university campuses.

I heard that this wave was coming to the church about eight years ago...of course I didn't want to believe it; being a boomer and into CGM and all at the time.

"The Holy Ghost...works faith...when and where it pleases God..."

This wave could just as easily and quickly peter out. As much as I appreciate the "wave," I remind myself that God calls us to be faithful in the administration of His Word and Sacraments, and not to rely on the results of using his Word and Sacraments.

You have spoken wisely AC V.

This Anglican church in North America...are they affiliated with the church of England?

I was not aware that the Archbishop of Canterbury was state appointed. I ran across a blog this weekend that revealed masonic, occult symbols within that church...

Joe, Virtue Online has the latest on Episcopalian apostasy. This new group is part of the Anglican tradition but does not belong to The Episcopal Church in the US.

The American conservatives in this tradition are associating with the conservative African bishops. Africa has far more Episcopalians than the US, and the Africans do not like Bishop Kate's New Age teaching one bit.

In England, the Anglican clergy and royalty are Masonic members. It is very upper class there.
