The unsettledness, upheavals, and realignments within Anglicanism afford our Communion not just an opportunity to lament and protest against the disturbing elements in doctrine and practice over recent decades, but to re-establish ourselves in the genuine historic Anglicanism constituted by our founding fathers at the Reformation.
Not that we are locked into the past, or mesmerized by some previous "golden age", but we have a foundation and heritage that has never formally been set aside through debate and universal consent within the church, which still stands as binding upon our clergy, and which has stood the test of time and withstood critical appraisal as the basis of our belief and message. The fundamental compendium from which we live, work, worship and witness as Anglicans is the Book of Common Prayer (1662), and its doctrine and liturgy guide us in our thoughts concerning God and our approach to Him.
