ATC 1989 The Thirty-Nine Articles

There was a time when every candidate for Holy Orders in the Canadian Church had to give sworn assent to the Thirty-Nine Articles before ordination. This is no longer required. Is this because, as Dr. Hankey suggests, those who hold power in the Anglican Church of Canada no longer hold "an Augustinian doctrine of sin and a Reformed doctrine of justification and grace"? In this book, reporting on a Theological Conference held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, strong supporters of the Thirty-Nine Articles are challenged by at least one Response. Well known evangelicals, The Rt. Rev'd C. FitzSimmons Allison, The Rev'd Dr. Philip Edgcumbe Hughes and the Rev'd Roger T. Beckwith all state their position. The Rev'd Dr. Robert Crouse presents the character and authority of the Thirty-Nine Articles. A church adrift would do well to look to its roots!
