19. Catholic Anglicans: The Oxford Movement

Here’s a strange experience many people have the first time they encounter Anglicanism. You visit one Anglican church, and it feels almost indistinguishable from an Evangelical Protestant service. There’s preaching, hymns, simple liturgy, and not much ceremony. Then you visit another Anglican parish. Suddenly there are priests in vestments, incense rising during the Eucharist, candles burning on the altar, weekly communion, maybe even Marian feasts on the church calendar. And you find yourself asking a very reasonable question: "How can both of these churches belong to the same tradition?" I discuss all this in this episode. As always, please, if you have any questions, thoughts, or ideas for future episodes, leave them in the comments below.
