Dear Friends in Christ, I am writing to invite you to set dates aside for St. Luke's first Theological Conference. St. Luke's will be hosting a Conference on The Classical Anglican Formularies - March 2nd to 4th, 2006. It is appropriate that this conference falls in March 2006 - exactly 450 years after the martyrdom of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury and key framer of the original Book of Common Prayer!
This conference is designed to inform and to encourage those in the Anglican Way, affirming the basis of our Faith as Reformed Catholics. Our conference speaker will be The Rev'd. Dr. Peter Toon, a well-respected Anglican Theologian. Dr. Toon is the Vice-President of the US Prayer Book Society - see: http://www.episcopalian.org/pbs1928
Dr. Toon taught at Oxford University (UK) and Nashotah House (USA) and has authored many books, articles, and "tracts for the times!" He is an engaging speaker with a passion to articulate the relevance of these historic formularies to our current Church situation and daily lives!
The Thirty-Nine Articles, with the Book of Common Prayer and The Ordinal represent the historic Formularies that frame classical Anglicanism. In a season of great upheaval in the Church internationally, it is important to understand and to affirm the distinctives of the Anglican Way as a Reformed Catholic path within the larger Body of Christ. This is not to exalt one Christian Tradition over another but to affirm diversity within the framework of Historic Belief.
Our hope is to affirm the Anglican Way as an historic, Biblically-orthodox tradition standing in contrast to the modernism that has ensnared much of North American Mainline Church life. The presentations will be offered in a positive manner, affirming the rich Biblical and historic legacy of the Anglican/Episcopal Tradition.Leaders and lay persons from Continuing and Convergence Anglican Traditions are welcome to attend. The presentations will reflect solid scholarship. However, these lectures will be presented in such a fashion that even those with limited theological understanding will benefit. We encourage strong lay participation to engage the core beliefs of our tradition.
