We would say that it combines scripture, tradition and reason, valuing all these important elements of faith. Like protestant churches, it stresses the good news of the Bible (it is “evangelical”); but it is also rooted in tradition; and it values reason, being unafraid to look forward. We think that this makes it a welcoming church, a challenging church, and a happy church. Many of us would also point to the profoundly beautiful and inspiring texts of the King James Bible and the Book of Common Prayer as great examples of Anglican heritage.
