Reformational Anglican Podcast

Infographics, catechisms, and cat costumes... In this episode, we interview Eleanor Brindle, a youth minister in a local Church of England parish. Eleanor shares how she ministers the rich resources of Anglican liturgy, the doctrines of grace, and reformed sacramental theology, to the young people in her care. She also shares some great anecdotal wisdom on how to make catechisms fun for the whole church family!

This sixth Homily was written by Edmund Bonner. Bonner was a conservative opponent of Thomas Cranmer, but nevertheless his Homily has an important place within the book. 

As you listen consider the question: How is Bonners view of love different to that of 21st century Christians?

Matt. 22:37; 5:43-47; John 5:30; Matt 26:39, 42; John 14:15, 21, 23–24; 1 John 3:10

Why does God send people to Hell? Wouldn't it be better if everyone went to Heaven in the end? Is eternal punishment really a fair response to finite sin? In this episode, we consider the doctrine of Hell and judgement from Scripture and the words of Jesus, as well as the Anglican formularies. We also discuss some arguments for universalism and inclusivism, from Origen and Rob Bell to Vatican II and Mother Theresa.

This is the Fifth Homily from the First Book of Homilies. The Homily fleshes out the same teaching which is found in Article 13 of the 39 Articles. It deals with a common question which we often ask today: what should we think about the good works of non-Christians? The Homily was written Archbishop Thomas Cranmer and the full title is "A SERMON OF GOOD WORKS ANNEXED UNTO FAITH".

There are plenty of quotes from Augustine, Ambrose and Chrysostom.

Scriptures referenced:

John 15:4–5; Heb. 11:5–6; Rom. 14:23; Matt. 6:23; Ps. 84:3; Luke 23:42-43

Where do bishops come from? What do they do? Why do they wear those funny capes? Is Episcopacy a Biblical form of church government? And how should evangelicals relate to their bishops? This week we'll be delving into all of these questions as we discuss the past, present, and the future of episcopalian polity of the Anglican church! (Obviously this is fertile ground for Father Ted quotes, so hold onto your birettas!)
