Anglican/Episcopal Studies - Resources for Religious Anthropology

Reviewed Resources for Students and Teachers

The links provided here are for the purpose of having online material where you can learn what each faith has to say about itself. While these links are not about "religious anthropology" itself, having a knowledge of what each faith believes, and what its internal dynamics are, can be an important tool in many studies of the anthropology of religion. The websites below all identify themselves as Anglican. Whether they are in communion with each other, or with Canterbury, is a part of their "internal dynamics" and lends itself to the study of the anthropology of Anglicanism.

In the review annotations, I will let the site speak for itself as much as possible.

The American Anglican Council __ Individuals, parishes and ministries affirming Biblical authority and Anglican orthodoxy. - http://www.americananglican.org/

Anglican Belief and Practice __ "Both the Reformed Episcopal Church and the Anglican Province of America recognize the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion as one of their formularies. This was also true for both sides of the Evangelical/Catholic debate within nineteenth-century Anglicanism. The following is an articulation of the comprehension of Anglican belief and practice beyond and/or supplemental to the Articles of Religion, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Ordinal; it addresses the primary topics of Church, doctrine, sacraments, ministry, and worship." - http://anglicanprovince.org/pressrel702.html
