Anglican Church of the Incarnation - Richmond, Virginia

In this episode of Ask the Church, we explore the meaning, history, and practice of the sign of the cross. Is it biblical? Is it required? And why do so many Christians—especially Anglicans—use this gesture in worship?

In under five minutes, you'll learn:
- How the sign of the cross helps unite our heart, mind, and body in worship
- When it's commonly used during worship
- How it functions as a “physical prayer” rather than a rote ritual
- Why it's not required—but can be spiritually enriching

Whether you're new to liturgical worship or just curious to learn more about Anglican practice, this video offers clarity and encouragement.
