We’re starting a new series today called The Gifts of Anglicanism for the Body of Christ.

Over the past few decades, many of us have found ourselves “on the Canterbury trail,” drawn by the Spirit to the treasures of the Great Tradition of the Church. At the same time, we want to steward these riches within a contextual, kingdom-centric mission without getting mired in a stiff “traditionalism” that would hamper Spirit-empowered mission. This podcast series will feature 8 treasures we’ve received in the Anglican tradition and how they can effectively engage the world around us.

The first treasure we explore is the centrality of the Eucharist in Anglican worship, and we invited the Rev. Shawn McCain, Rector of Resurrection South Austin, to reflect on his journey into Anglicanism and the centrality of the Eucharist for the life and worship of the church.
