What does it mean when an Anglican church identifies itself as representing “Three Streams Anglicanism”? In this edition of Ask the Church, we explain the phrase “three streams, one river,” and how it points to Evangelical, Catholic, and Charismatic emphases held together in a shared life of worship. We also explore how that phrase can be misunderstood—since the gospel, the sacraments, and the life of the Spirit were never meant to be optional “add-ons.” The Church is meant to be Word-centered, sacramental, and Spirit-filled—together.

In this edition of Ask the Church, we explore why tradition isn't automatically a negative word, and why the real issue is how tradition is treated in relation to Scripture. We also reflect on the simple fact that all Christians learn how to read the Bible, worship, and live the faith from others—meaning none of us approaches Scripture in a vacuum. Anglicans hold Scripture as uniquely authoritative, while also encouraging believers to listen to the Church's historic witness so we can interpret the Bible with humility and wisdom.

In this edition of Ask the Church, we address a common question and explain why it's an oversimplification of Anglican origins. The English Reformation involved deep questions about theology, worship, Scripture, and church authority, and those forces shaped Anglican identity far beyond the personal life of King Henry VIII and the political issues of his day. We seek to offer historical clarity while keeping the focus on what Anglicanism actually is: a reformed, creedal, catholic expression of the Christian faith.

In this second session, our discussion turns from individual philosophical arguments to the broader assumptions that shape modern debates about evil and God's existence. Drawing on Scripture and the Christian tradition, we reflect on themes such as the Fall, original sin, eternal life, and the nature of human dependence upon God. Rather than attempting to explain away suffering, Dr. McDaniel encourages us to consider how Christian belief reframes the meaning and context of evil itself. We also explore why Christians need not surrender our own theological commitments when engaging with intellectual challenges raised from a perspective of secular modernity.⛪ Church of the Incarnation is an Anglican (ACNA) parish in western Henrico, Virginia, committed to:

In this edition of Ask the Church, we explore how prayer beads (and similar tools like an Eastern Orthodox prayer rope) can serve as a simple physical aid for focus and attention in prayer. We also offer cautions against treating the practice as automatic, superstitious, or a way of earning God's favor, and how to keep the posture of prayer sincere. Finally, we address questions surrounding the Hail Mary and how Anglicans may think carefully about intercession while keeping Christ as our only mediator.

In this opening lesson, we begin examining the problem of evil as both a philosophical challenge and a theological question. Our discussion explores several major attempts to explain suffering—including free will defenses, higher-order goods arguments, and skeptical theism—while considering the strengths and limitations of each. Along the way, we are encouraged to reflect on how modern secular assumptions often shape these debates in ways Christians need not accept uncritically. This lesson lays the groundwork for a deeper exploration of how the Christian tradition approaches suffering, evil, and the nature of God.⛪ Church of the Incarnation is an Anglican (ACNA) parish in western Henrico, Virginia, committed to:

In this edition of Ask the Church, we begin with the central conviction that in Scripture we encounter the living God—and that this should shape the urgency and priority of Bible reading. We offer a practical suggestion of beginning with the Gospels and letting the rest of Scripture “radiate out” from Christ, the key who helps everything else come into focus. We also encourage the daily practice of praying the Psalms, which teach us God's own words for praise, lament, and trust, and in turn deepens and enriches our common life of prayer.

How should Christians explain suffering to non-Christians? In this edition of Ask the Church, we explore a way of speaking about suffering that is honest, compassionate, and grounded in the heart of the Christian story. The Cross shows that God is not distant from human pain, and the Resurrection gives real hope that suffering will not have the last word.
