What Is “Three Streams” Anglicanism?
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.

How Do Anglicans Think About Tradition?
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.
Christianity and the Problem of Evil, Part 3
In this third session, we explore how the Church has traditionally responded to the reality of suffering and evil. Drawing on Scripture and the Christian tradition, Fr. Steven distinguishes between theoretical answers that seek understanding vs. pastoral answers that seek to comfort and sustain those who suffer. Particular attention is given to the questions, What will God do with suffering? and Where is God in the midst of suffering? The series concludes with a reflection on the cross as the central Christian response to evil and suffering.

Does the Anglican Church Exist Only Because of a Divorce?
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.
