How Do Anglicans Think About Tradition?

from Anglican Church of the Incarnation - Richmond, Virginia · host Church of the Incarnation, Richmond, Virginia

In this edition of Ask the Church, we explore why tradition isn’t automatically a negative word, and why the real issue is how tradition is treated in relation to Scripture. We also reflect on the simple fact that all Christians learn how to read the Bible, worship, and live the faith from others—meaning none of us approaches Scripture in a vacuum. Anglicans hold Scripture as uniquely authoritative, while also encouraging believers to listen to the Church’s historic witness so we can interpret the Bible with humility and wisdom.📩 Have a question for a future episode?
