Anglican Formularies
The English reformers were willing to die for certain doctrinal beliefs—“I think it my duty to exhort you…defend the faith of Christ even until blood and unto death” (Bishop Edwin Sandys, The Sermons of Edwin Sandys).
They were a diverse bunch, to be sure, but they were united in their commitment to the supremacy of Holy Scripture over other authorities, to the central doctrine of justification by grace through faith alone, to the priesthood of all believers, and to a sacramental understanding that the grace of Holy Communion is Christ’s spiritual presence in the hearts and affections of the faithful recipients.
These inviolable Anglican doctrines are enshrined and fixed in the Elizabethan Settlement and the recognized formularies of the English Reformation. The historic formularies name and explain the essential doctrines of the Anglican Communion.
