Join Us for an Evening Prayer Service at King Manor This Sunday at 6 PM
A warm invitation for the King Manor community in Duluth, Minnesota. You Are Welcome Here There is something quietly powerful about gathering together at the end of the day. When the noise of daily life settles and the evening comes, it creates a natural invitation to pause, reflect, and connect with something greater than ourselves. This Sunday at 6:00 PM, we are opening the doors of the 4th floor community room right here at King Manor, 222 E 2nd Street, Duluth, Minnesota,

Exploring the Anglican Catholic Church as the Via Media between Roman Catholicism, Reformation, and Orthodoxy
The interior of a traditional Anglican Catholic church reflects a faith rooted in ancient continuity, sacred liturgy, and apostolic order. A Church Born from Crisis In September 1977, nearly 2,000 Anglican clergy and laypeople gathered in St. Louis, Missouri. They were not meeting to celebrate. They were meeting to draw a line. The Episcopal Church had just approved the ordination of women to the priesthood and adopted sweeping revisions to the Book of Common Prayer. For many

Exploring the Catholic Perspective on the Eucharist in Relation to the Anglican Catholic Church
A Shared Mystery, A Different Language Few doctrines in Christian history carry as much weight as the Eucharist. It sits at the center of Catholic worship, shapes the identity of Anglican communities, and remains one of the most debated and cherished teachings in the Western Church. For the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC), the Eucharist is not a peripheral concern. It is the beating heart of its liturgical and spiritual life. Yet despite deep shared convictions about the Eucha

Uniting for Christian Morals: The Anglican Renaissance Movement and Our Commitment
Official Statement | St. Raphael's Anglican Catholic and Orthodox Mission Station Standing Together on What Matters Most The Anglican world is at a crossroads. Long-held teachings on marriage, human sexuality, the sanctity of life, and the nature of the Church are being challenged, revised, and in some cases abandoned entirely. This is not a quiet theological debate confined to synod chambers. It is a visible fracture, felt in parishes, seminaries, and pews around the world.

Defending Anglican Catholic Holy Orders in Response to the Papal Bull of Apostolicae Curae
In 1896, Pope Leo XIII issued Apostolicae Curae, declaring Anglican ordinations "absolutely null and utterly void." That sentence has echoed through ecumenical dialogue ever since. But the case against Anglican Catholic holy orders rests on historical misreadings, inconsistent theological criteria, and assumptions that do not hold up under scrutiny. This post defends the validity of Anglican orders on three grounds: the sufficiency of form, the integrity of intention, and the

What is Anglicanism
We often hear the old joke that goes like this: put five Anglicans in a room, ask them one question, and you'll get five different answers. This is, unfortunately, true to some degree. However, the Anglican realm is not a free for all. There are really three main Anglican camps. Which we will define below. Anglican Catholic An Anglican Catholic (specifically in communion with or in the G-2 Continuum) is one that is the "Via Media" between the East (Orthodoxy) and the West

Understanding Our Identity: Who We Are and What We Stand For
Who we are: In a short summary one could say we are simply both orthodox and catholic Anglicans. Our journey started well before we became instituted in December of 2025. However, since then, we have been forging our way to becoming the only non-heterodox Anglican Christians in the region. What we stand for is simple. 1. Traditional Christian values and morals. 2. A life of liturgical worship centered around the 1928 BCP. 3. Helping those in need and who are going through di
