After Kigali: The Future of Orthodox Anglicanism

The Kigali Commitment dedication to the authority of Scripture should be cheered. But if left to itself, it is easily forgotten that Scripture’s birthplace and guardian are the Church and her tradition. As Paul wrote, “the Church of the living God is the pillar and foundation of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15).  Without attention to that pillar and foundation, the edifice called Christian orthodoxy starts to weaken and will eventually collapse. The Church’s tradition in creeds and liturgies and patristic teaching is indispensable for interpreting Scripture rightly.
