What is the difference between a Baptist and an Anglican?
The History of the Anglican faith is traced back to St. Augustine in the 5th Century who brought Christianity to England and was the first Archbishop of Canterbury. During the Reformation in the 16th Century the Church in England under the reign of Henry VIII broke ties with the Roman Catholic Church, but it did not lose is “Catholicisity” or heritage and maintained the 3 fold ministry of deacons, priests and bishops in apostolic succession based around the 2 primary sacraments of the Christian Faith which Christ himself ordained, baptism and Holy Eucharist. Those Five Other Sacramental Rites (Reconciliation, Confirmation, Matrimony, Ordination, Unction) although inspired by the guidance of the Spirit are not seen as necessary for all christians in the same way that baptism and Holy Eucharist are but are offered by Gods Church for God’s people.
