Andrew and Isaac answer a listener's question regarding theological and ministerial education in the Anglican Church.

Today we're answering a listener question on how to do traditional Anglican prayers as a family. "One of the dirty little secrets of Anglican family prayer and catechism is that none of us thinks we're doing all that we should be doing." ~Fr. Isaac Rehberg  Notes: A Faith for Generations: A Family Prayer Guide in the Anglican Tradition "Little Gidding" The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Catechesis Books Parents as Pastors by Fr Charles Erlandson 1928 BCP "Offices of Instruction" 1928 BCP "A Catechism" Anglican Catechesis Podcast The Anglican Household as a "Protestant Monastery"

This week the virtual studio is FULL with all three Miserable Offenders present to discuss a recent article by Gillis Harp appearing at The Gospel Coalition. Dr. Harp urges Anglicans to stay true to their confessions, and while we all agreed with this premise we had plenty to discuss regarding Harp's particular way of applying it. Harp article: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/anglican-confessional-heritage/ Lovell article: https://northamanglican.com/toward-a-confessional-anglicanism/ P.S. Jesse mistakenly suggested that Gillis Harp is an ordained priest in the ACNA but that doesn't seem to be true. Support this ministry: The North American Anglican
