Anglican Church of the Incarnation - Richmond, Virginia

The Rev. Canon Brian Campbell // Genesis 1:1-2:3; Psalm 150; 2 Corinthians 13:5-14; Matthew 28:16-20

Rev. Justin Hendrix // Genesis 11:1-9; Psalm 104:24-35; Acts 2:1-21; John 14:8-17

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.

Rev Steven Breedlove // Ezekiel 39:21-29; Psalm 47; 1 Peter 4:12-19; John 17:1-11

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 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.

Rev. Steven Breedlove // Isaiah 41:17-20; Psalm 148; 1 Peter 3:8-18; John 15:1-11

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.

Rev. Justin Hendrix // Deuteronomy 6:20-25; Psalm 66:1-11; 1 Peter 2:1-12; John 14:1-14

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.
