Anglicans! Part 2.

A question.
According to Anglican thought and theology, is the Eucharist the Body and Blood of Christ or not? There seems to be a large disparity between High and Low Churches..
P.S If you still don't know what High and Low means, please refer to the other thread... -
I was taught that they are. What are the reasons given that they are not?
-
Another question out of curiosity? I was told by some of my RC friends that there were instances whereby the Eucharist actually turned into the Body & Blood of Christ. How true is that?Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:A question.

That's refering to transubstantiation
anyway, did a search and found this article on this subject and also some the verious denominations (including that Anglo-Catholics and Evangelical-Anglicans) view this subject.

Originally posted by babyys:Wahahah.....u have some imagination there!!!
actually... CE is not imagining things, there really are some who did accuse this believe as cannibalism, the reason being, the teaching of the bread and wine turning into the body and blood of Christ, hence partaking them is equivalent to cannibalismOriginally posted by babyys:Wahahah.....u have some imagination there!!!
(*Note: this is not my view, just sharing what I heard last time from somewhere else.) -
apparently the doctrine of transubstantiation was repudiated by them a long time ago...Originally posted by sillyme:I was taught that they are. What are the reasons given that they are not? -
The Eucharist in the Anglican Church? Or elsewhere?Originally posted by babyys:Another question out of curiosity? I was told by some of my RC friends that there were instances whereby the Eucharist actually turned into the Body & Blood of Christ. How true is that? -
Ther 39 articles of religion found in the Book of Common Prayer of the Anglican Church:
http://bible.crosswalk.com/History/AD/CreedsandConfessions/Confessions/TheEpiscopalConfession.html
Article 28 will tell you the Anglican perception and teachings about the Lord's Supper.
The Anglican church DO NOT suscribe to the doctrine of Transubstantiation which is of Roman Catholic origin. Rather, they see the elements of bread as wine as the Body and Blood of Christ broken and shed for us and this in symbolic and spiritual sense. The wafer remains as wafer, the wine remains as wine but when the communicant receives the elements he/she receives and reminded of the Body and Blood of Christ. Nothing mystical and nothing magical about the elements.
Back to the Holy Communion Heresy issue: NCC's way of treating the Eucharist is something not to be tolerated, gearing towards Christian superstitions and completely missed the point of celebrating Communion. -
Nope. so far the anglican churches has no reports about such incidents.Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:The Eucharist in the Anglican Church? Or elsewhere? -
for denominations like anglicans, methodists there are official documents to pen down all issues pertaining to teachings and doctrines r easier to control but then nowadays even denominations start to disagree and change their own teachings haizzz

hahaha, so much for 'semper reformanda'....Originally posted by NT2:for denominations like anglicans, methodists there are official documents to pen down all issues pertaining to teachings and doctrines r easier to control but then nowadays even denominations start to disagree and change their own teachings haizzz -
ecclesia reformata, semper reformandaOriginally posted by SingaporeMacross:hahaha, so much for 'semper reformanda'....
A church reformed, always reforming
but there are things we can never reformed and that includes chief doctrines and tenets of faith. Things like Christ being Word incarnate no matter how reformed the church is...remains the same as testified by the ageless word of God

so how come Canterbury is not clamping down on Anglo-Catholicism, when seem to be in dissent from your 39 articles...

The Archbishop of Canterbury does not hold the power as the Roman papacy has. He dun clamp down things that is not in congruence with the mainstream Anglicanism. Infact the diocese in singapore has very little ties with the archbishop of canterbury and is autonomous by nature.Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:so how come Canterbury is not clamping down on Anglo-Catholicism, when seem to be in dissent from your 39 articles... -

haha i not in england leh...Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:no la, i'm talking about the context in England..
infact the are many remnants of RC in anglicanism. the liturgy and episcopal traditions are some what similar. but the emphasis and practices may not be. anglo-catholics may do things that seemed like they r RCs but closer look the emphasis is different and they do not come under the Holy See. -
whats your opinion on them? are they heretics like us catholics?Originally posted by NT2:haha i not in england leh...
