How can we strengthen the Traditional Anglican Witness and Mission?" This Conference reaffirms and celebrates the faith we have received, that of "the earliest bishops and Catholic fathers" as Queen Elizabeth I put it, expressed through the Church by law established and transmitted unimpaired to posterity through the Prayer Book, and the 39 Articles. Professing those ancient teachings as defined in the Scriptures, the Creeds, and the four undisputed Councils, this Church sought no new doctrines of her own.
The aim of the continuing churches, formed to maintain orthodoxy after various apostasies from this faith was, so I was informed by clergy of a continuing parish, to build a parallel communion to Canterbury, and to establish its seat in England, probably at Winchester or Glastonbury, with a Primate likewise situated there. Why this aim was abandoned, I do not know. The decision to go to Rome, to accept all the Roman doctrines, seems to have been taken in the old way, without consultation. In the past a Prince or King converted and his Kingdom converted with him.
