Stephen Boyce talks about his journey from Anglicanism to Catholicism. 

In this episode and in honour of Moore Theological College's 170th anniversary, we bring you a second special episode taken from the 2025 Donald Robinson Library lectures on the topic of “The Clapham Sect and their influence on Sydney”.Michael Gladwin, Lecturer in History at St Mark's National Theological Centre in the School of Theology at Charles Sturt University, examines the role of John Newton. Newton was the author of the hymn “Amazing Grace” and former slave trader turned pastor, and he served as both architect and encourager of the first Anglican mission in Australia. Through Newton's correspondence and networks, Michael shows how Newton's theological depth, pastoral wisdom, and missionary foresight influenced the birth of evangelical Anglicanism in the Southern Hemisphere.Please note: This episode is a companion to last week's episode, in which Mark Thompson tells the story of how Richard Johnson became the first chaplain to the colony in New South Wales and shaped gospel ministry in early Australia. If you missed that one, I encourage you to go back and listen.For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.

Dr. Clint Brand joins Dr. Harne and delves into the Catholic intellectual tradition, particularly focusing on Anglicanism's historical context and its ties to Catholicism. Dr. Clint Brand shares his academic journey and the influence of Anglicanism on his conversion. They also explore the Protestant Revolution, Henry VII, and Modern Issues in Anglicanism. Finally, they discuss the significance of Catholic prayer and the evolution of liturgical practices, emphasizing the balance between tradition and modernity in worship.

In this Lenten conversation, host Tressa Spingler sits down with longtime bookseller and friend of Upper House, Byron Borger of Hearts & Minds Books, to explore how the church year—and especially Lent—can shape our discipleship. They reflect on wilderness imagery, repentance, almsgiving, contemplative reading, and what it means for Jesus to meet us in our “low places.” Byron introduces a rich range of Lenten books—from devotionals and art‑driven prayer resources to weighty theological works on sin, the cross, and Holy Week.In This EpisodeWhy Lent is a season of wilderness, repentance, and preparationHow traditions like Anglicanism and Lutheranism shape our imagination of sacred timeThe power of silence, solitude, and contemplative readingA new theological work on sin by Timothy KellerFleming Rutledge's classic writings on the crucifixion and death of ChristCreative Bible studies integrating art, QR‑coded media, and peace/reconciliation themesArt‑driven prayer resources for seasons of depression or disorientationReading as a spiritual discipline during LentAbout Our GuestByron Borger is the owner of Hearts & Minds Books in Dallastown, Pennsylvania.

We started off the program with the major announcement of the scheduling of a major debate later in 2026 with Craig Truglia on the topic of the veneration of icons and the Seventh Ecumenical Council. I explained why this is a vital topic with greater ramifications than might first suggest themselves. Then we transitioned into some of Matthew Barrett's students converting to Anglicanism and where this might all lead. We will do another program tomorrow, so join us then!

  In this enlightening episode, we wrap up our series on the Doctors of the Church with a heartfelt discussion featuring the Idaho Lay Dominicans. Join Pam Jaskoviak and Alana Berg as they delve into the lives and teachings of remarkable saints including Saint Therese of Lisieux, Saint Lawrence of Brindisi, Saint Francis de Sales, Saint Alphonsus Ligouri, and Saint John Henry Newman. Discover how these saints exemplified the Christian life and how their profound insights can inspire us to grow in holiness through the little things in life. Their stories remind us that even the smallest acts of love contribute to our spiritual journey.     Chapters:   (00:00) Salton Light Catholic Radio Network brings you morning light     (00:22) Saint Therese of Liszu was declared Doctor of the Church in 1997     (05:38) Saint Lawrence of Brissendi was a diplomat and a missionary     (10:53) St. John Henry Newman converted from Anglicanism to Catholicism     (12:59) John: Some of the things that we struggle with even today are modern issues    

Patrick opens with playful Taco Tuesday banter before answering listener questions about Catholic wedding protocols, the real story behind Saint Patrick’s sainthood, and the significance of post-Vatican II changes to church architecture and liturgy. He fields tough situations: guiding a godfather on how to lovingly challenge a drifting family member, addressing concerns over boundaries at the parish, and supporting a grandmother grappling with her granddaughter’s leap to Anglicanism. Amid the laughter and heartfelt dilemmas, Patrick shares a convert’s gratitude for the Eucharist, letting honest conversation and practical wisdom steer the day. Anthony (email) – My 22-year-old nephew and his fiancé asked me to officiate their wedding ceremony. I was honored to be asked, but I'm a bit hesitant. I've never been asked to do this before. Should I accept? If not, how do I decline? (01:560) Marie - I was in Ireland recently. St. Patrick’s Church was Anglican instead of Catholic. I was told St. Patrick was never Catholic, just 'Christian', because he came before canonization. (09:47) Richard - Why did the Catholic Church change the altar around in the 60s? (21:18) Mary - My friend has a crush on a priest. What should I do? Should I let the Pastor know? (30:56) Carol - I was invited to my granddaughter’s Anglican Church confirmation, and I need advice about going to a non-Catholic service. (38:19) Andrea - This is the month of the Eucharist. I am a convert and went 58 years without it. I am full of gratitude. (45:59) Originally aired on 06/03/25

Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-christmas-9780198831464?cc=gb&lang=en& Articulo: https://semperreformandaperu.org/2025/12/27/paz-en-la-tierra-la-navidad-en-la-iglesia-de-inglaterra/  Video: https://youtu.be/8IEihJmeT-E  PPT: https://semperreformandaperu.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/navidad_anglicana_una_paradoja_hibrida.pdf  ¿Qué hace “anglicana” a la Navidad, cuando el anglicanismo se define —paradójicamente— por su amplitud y su capacidad de mezclar? En este episodio seguimos a Martyn Percy para entender una tesis tan provocadora como útil: el genio anglicano está en su hibridación. La Navidad en la Iglesia de Inglaterra toma prestado, adapta y “domestica” prácticas de otras tradiciones: habla de “Midnight Mass”, celebra villancicos a la luz de las velas, y produce liturgias pastorales que funcionan como puerta de entrada a la fe.  Entramos, primero, al fenómeno de Christingle: un rito popular (naranja, vela, cinta roja y frutos) orientado a niños, que comenzó como iniciativa de recaudación y terminó marcando para muchos el inicio real de la temporada. Luego nos movemos al “rostro global” del anglicanismo: Nine Lessons and Carols y su proyección mediática desde Cambridge, un ejemplo de cómo la liturgia se vuelve memoria compartida y “religión implícita” en sociedades secularizadas.  Pero Percy insiste en una tensión clave: el clero suele vivir la Navidad con ambivalencia, porque la fiesta activa a la vez corrientes sagradas (Encarnación, caridad, esperanza) y seculares (consumo, nostalgia, vacaciones). Precisamente ahí, dice, el anglicanismo suele estar “en su mejor versión”: una Navidad de umbral bajo y recompensa alta, donde el Niño de Belén vuelve a ser “para todos”.

Paul Donison responds to global reaction to Gafcon's reset of the Anglican Communion and its declaration that Canterbury's time is over.The Lord is removing his Spirit from the Canterbury–Lambeth lampstand, and the centre of global Anglicanism is shifting from London to Africa.The average Anglican today is not English, not Western, not male — she's a young African woman in her twenties, probably Nigerian. The Anglican Communion is now catching up with that reality.Since the Gafcon Primates' announcement on 16 October 2025 — declaring that Canterbury is out and that the Bible will be the foundation document for a reordered Global Anglican Communion — reaction has been electric: claims of schism, conflict in Ireland, tensions in ACNA, questions about women's orders, realignments in England, silence from some primates, and fresh courage from others.And what does this mean for a blended province like Australia?Gafcon General Secretary Paul Donison joins us with an update on plans for the Global Bishops Gathering in Abuja, Nigeria, 3–6 March 2026.The Church Cohttp://www.thechurchco.com is a website and app platform built specifically for churches.  Advertise on The Pastor's HeartTo advertise on The Pastor's Heart go to thepastorsheart.net/sponsorSupport the show

The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) is a small but mighty denomination. As I have written elsewhere, Anglicanism has the potential to breathe new life into the evangelical movement. But the denomination is facing challenges on many fronts, some of them self-inflicted. Archbishop Steve Wood, the senior leader of ACNA, has been credibly accused of sexual harassment and other offenses. Another bishop, Stewart Ruch, is currently facing a church trial for his handling of a sex offender in his diocese. Bishop Derek Jones, who has led the military chaplain corps, is now behind a rancorous attempt to leave ACNA and take more than 300 chaplains with him. All of the current controversies — those involving Archbishop Wood and Bishops Ruch and Jones — have also highlighted the inadequacy of the church's canons to deal with matters of conflict and discipline. Over the past few years, MinistryWatch has covered several scandals in the denomination, and the process has been tentative and clunky at almost every level. For example, ACNA first made formal charges against Bishop Stewart Ruch — known as a “presentment” — in December of 2022, three years ago. After many fits and starts (some of which you can read about here), the trial finally took place this week, and we still don't have a verdict. I have heard from credible sources that the cost of the trial will exceed a million dollars.  More than a year ago, just before ACNA's provincial meeting in Latrobe, Penn., I wrote what I think the denomination should do to graduate from organizational adolescence into adulthood. Those recommendations included: Make a final decision on women's ordination. Eliminate non-geographical dioceses, including Church for the Sake of Others. Revise and expand the canons of ACNA. Pick a leader with a strong arm and a velvet touch. Issue a clear statement on sexual issues. Perhaps the biggest fumble, though, was ACNA's selection of a new archbishop. Not only has he proven himself to be not up to the task, he has become a part of the problem. Even if he is found “not guilty” of the presentment against him, the process itself has already been damaging to him and the church. That is why I would add one more recommendation to the list above: Steve Wood should resign as archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America. There is no way forward for him that doesn't do further damage to the church. If he is exonerated of the charges in the presentment, many in ACNA who already distrust his leadership and the inadequacy of the canons will cite that exoneration as proof of a rigged system. If he is found guilty, he is unfit to serve. I continue to believe that ACNA has great promise. The 15 years of its existence — especially when considered in the long arc of church history — is but a moment. Anglicanism offers much to the world, and to evangelicalism in particular. But it must face this moment with decisiveness and integrity. ACNA faces an existential crisis that grows more acute by the day, and before Anglicanism can save evangelicalism, it must first save itself. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.

England's thousand-year legacy won't be saved by sentiment. With stories from pulpits and political dinners alike, the hosts show why "keep the culture, lose the creed" always ends in sand. The path back is narrow and non-negotiable: Scripture alone, Christ alone, repentance that bears fruit, and churches bright enough that no one mistakes darkness for light.

Dr. Matthew Wiseman shares his faith journey, from Protestantism, to the Hebrew Roots Movement and traditional Judaism on to Anglicanism and finally home to the Catholic Church.

The bumper music for this episode, chosen by our Presbyterian producer, comes from the 1964 comic rendition of an Anglican homily by Alan Bennett ("My Brother Esau, Beyond the Fringe"). The subject discussed by pudcast co-hosts, Korey Maas (Lutheran), Miles Smith (Anglican), and D. G. Hart (Presbyterian) may be the same -- Anglicanism -- but the approach is not comedic. Anglicans around the world have been in the news, from the appointment of a new (and female) archbishop of Canterbury, to the decision by a prominent Baptist historical theologian to join ACNA. All the recent news deserves way more than roughly 55 minutes of banter. But with the help of our resident Anglican, Miles Smith, we learned about the choppy water in which the bishops, clergy, and laity find themselves.

Conservatives Need to Stop Prioritizing Unity Over Truth Sponsor: https://catholicmatch.com Support the channel by visiting: https://brianholdsworth.ca/help The Church of England's decision to nominate a woman as Archbishop of Canterbury has sparked yet another fracture in global Anglicanism — a vivid example of how progressives often prize ideology over unity. Meanwhile, conservatives in both Church and politics repeatedly choose compromise and patience, valuing cohesion even as institutions crumble around them. In this video, Brian Holdsworth argues that conservatives must stop mistaking tolerance for virtue, recover the courage of the early Church, and push back against ideologies that destroy faith, culture, and community.

Everything sort of hooked up nicely today on the show, from talking about a Baptist converting to Anglicanism, into providing a response to a Roman Catholic on what true peace is (and how we obtain it) to my responding to Doug Wilson's comments to Ross Douthat on what it means to be a Christian and whether Roman Catholicism presents, or obscures, that reality.

Is communion just a symbolic snack—or a mysterious, formative act of grace? In this episode, Rev. Hannah King, an Anglican priest and author of the upcoming Feasting on a Hope: How God Sets a Table in the Wilderness, joins Dru Johnson to explore why the Lord's Supper is essential for the Christian life. Hannah shares her journey from evangelical church spaces into Anglicanism, unpacking how the Eucharist re-centered her understanding of salvation as bodily, communal, and ongoing. She shares deeply personal stories—of trauma, grief, and healing—that reveal how the sacrament offers more than information: it offers union with Christ. Together, they tackle difficult questions: Will weekly communion become rote? Why is the Eucharist so often sidelined in modern worship? What do we gain when we treat the Table as the center, not the add-on? And how does this sacrament speak to survivors, children, skeptics, and the spiritually weary? Hannah reminds us that even when we feel nothing, the Table is still doing its work. Like Sabbath and marriage, it shapes us slowly—but surely.

Originally aired on 06/03/2025 Patrick opens with playful Taco Tuesday banter before answering listener questions about Catholic wedding protocols, the real story behind Saint Patrick’s sainthood, and the significance of post-Vatican II changes to church architecture and liturgy. He fields tough situations: guiding a godfather on how to lovingly challenge a drifting family member, addressing concerns over boundaries at the parish, and supporting a grandmother grappling with her granddaughter’s leap to Anglicanism. Amid the laughter and heartfelt dilemmas, Patrick shares a convert’s gratitude for the Eucharist, letting honest conversation and practical wisdom steer the day. Anthony (email) – My 22-year-old nephew and his fiancé asked me to officiate their wedding ceremony. I was honored to be asked, but I'm a bit hesitant. I've never been asked to do this before. Should I accept? If not, how do I decline? (01:560) Marie - I was in Ireland recently. St. Patrick’s Church was Anglican instead of Catholic. I was told St. Patrick was never Catholic, just 'Christian', because he came before canonization. (09:47) Richard - Why did the Catholic Church change the altar around in the 60s? (21:18) Mary - My friend has a crush on a priest. What should I do? Should I let the Pastor know? (30:56) Carol - I was invited to my granddaughter’s Anglican Church confirmation, and I need advice about going to a non-Catholic service. (38:19) Andrea - This is the month of the Eucharist. I am a convert and went 58 years without it. I am full of gratitude. (45:59)

In this episode of Mere Fidelity, Derek Rishmawy, Alastair Roberts, Brad East, and James Wood engage in a deep conversation about the complexities of inhabiting and leaving religious traditions. They explore the implications of a recent theological shift by Matthew Barrett from Baptist to Anglican, discussing the personal and theological dimensions of such transitions. The conversation delves into the nature of tradition, the challenges of maintaining ecclesial identity, and the virtues of leaving a tradition with grace and gratitude. The hosts emphasize the importance of honoring those who have shaped their faith journeys while navigating the intricacies of theological retrieval and the fragility of denominational identities in contemporary Christianity.   Chapters   00:00 Ecclesial Location 03:09 The Dynamics of Leaving a Tradition 05:31 Retrieval 10:18 Conscious & Unconscious Choice 17:32 The Nature of Tradition and Confessions 22:03 Engaging Outside One's Tradition 24:13 Different Levels of Accountability 27:07 The Fragilization of Denominational Identities 32:30 Tradition or "Vibes"? 35:00 Stronger Ecumenism 42:49 You Keep Using That Word... 49:35 Leaving a Tradition Gracefully

So I received word last week that Midwestern had not extended Barrett's contract, so he was leaving. Then it came out he was taking a position at an Anglican seminary, and finally, his own article explaining his reasons for converting to Anglicanism. So today we walked through the article in light of the fact that we have spoken often of the impact of the "Great Traditionists" and the fact that promoting such a perspective at a Baptist institution is inherently self-contradictory (and Barrett's conversion is actually proof of the correctness of our assertion).
