Who are they? These Anglicans.

Anglicanism is a distinct Christian tradition, with theology, structures, and forms of worship representing a different kind of middle way, or via media, between Protestantism, western Catholicism and eastern Orthodoxy. This perspective that came to be highly influential in later centuries as the Anglican identity and expressed in the description of Anglicanism as "Catholic and Reformed". The degree of distinction between Protestant, Eastern Orthodoxy and Western Catholic tendencies within the Anglican tradition is routinely a matter of debate both within specific Anglican Provinces and throughout the Anglican world. Unique to Anglicanism is the Book of Common Prayer, the collection of services that worshippers in the Anglican church have used for centuries, and is thus acknowledged as one of the ties that bind the Anglican world together.

In the last quarter of the 20th century several Anglican Provinces deviated from the Holy Scriptures and altered the Faith of Jesus the Christ. If Anglicanism was not so important in the continuing of a real representation of Gods truth, it would not have been so viciously attack (and continuously) by the forces of darkness of the age. The Continuing Anglican Movement or the Anglican Continuum is dedicated to preserving the Faith of Jesus the Christ through that “via media”, that middle way between Protestantism and Catholicism – between East and West.

The Continuing Anglican Way stands shoulder to shoulder, in equality, with the Orthodox of the East and Catholic discipline of the West. Anglicanism makes no apologies for her theology, structures, and forms of worship. She prays that our brothers and sisters in Christ would unit the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of GOD. To this end I ask your prayers.

Over the past 2 years Saint Andrews has taken on additional duties and identities. The parish has changed its jurisdiction from the Provence of the Holy Spirit, Anglican Rite to the Anglican Orthodox-Southern Episcopal Church. This change took place on January 1, 2018. We became a parish of the Dioceses of the Holy Spirit of the AO-Southern Episcopal church under the direction of the Right Reverend James C. Gibson, Jr. and shortly thereafter Saint Andrews became the Diocesan Pro-Cathedral. Additionally, with the Reverend Father Thomas Law, OSJ as an associste priest, who is the Governor General of the Order of the Servant of Jesus, Saint Andrews also now acts as the Chaple of the Servants of Jesus. We celebrate the Holy Eucharist at 11:00 O'clock on Sunday mornings and Holy Days as announced. Come join us for a traditional Angican Celebration of the most Holy Eucharist. The Parish is served by the Right Reverend Walter Ruby, Bishop Suffragan with the aid of associate priests, The Reverend Canon Hal Shaw as The Reverend Father Thomas Law, OSJ.
