Last week, young classical Anglicans gathered at the Church of the Holy Communion in Dallas to learn about "Creeds, Councils and Christ." Aimed at Christians under thirty and clergy, the Anglican Way Institute highlights deep theological teaching and extensive liturgical worship. This year's featured speaker was the Rev. Dr. Gerald Bray, Church of England minister and professor at the evangelical Beeson Divinity School.
The mastermind behind AWI remains its founding visionaries, the Rt. Rev. Ray Sutton, bishop coadjutor in the Diocese of Mid-America of the Reformed Episcopal Church (REC). When asked about the conference's purpose, Bishop Sutton explained, "The Anglican Way Institute really started with a desire to perpetuate this way of being a Christian that we call Anglican. And it began in a time where there is much reorganization of Anglicanism going on. It seemed that there was a need to try to articulate what this Anglican Way is - to provide teaching." "[T]here was a concern to see beyond generations, to catch hold of this way that all the churches with liturgies and ancient traditions in the West have been frontally assaulted for decades and told to give up their traditions to reach people through culture," he furthered, "And they've given up their traditions and they haven't really reached more people because they gave up their traditions."
