What Is Apostolic Succession, and Why Does It Matter?

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

What is apostolic succession, and why does it matter? In this edition of Ask the Church, we explore how the Early Church understood the passing on of apostolic authority and why succession is about preserving the faith, not institutional prestige. Apostolic succession connects the Church today to the Apostles by safeguarding both doctrine and sacramental life. It is ultimately about faithfulness to Christ and the gospel entrusted to His Church.📩 Have a question for a future episode?
