Dr Williams says that the strength of the Anglican tradition has been in maintaining a balance between the absolute priority of the Bible, a catholic loyalty to the sacraments and a habit of cultural sensitivity and intellectual flexibility: “To accept that each of these has a place in the church’s life and that they need each other means that the enthusiasts for each aspect have to be prepared to live with certain tensions or even sacrifices.

The Heartlands of Anglicanism
Archbishop Rowan offers his own description of our distinctive Christian inheritance.This he depicts as having the three strands of ‘reformed commitment to the absolute priority of the Bible for deciding doctrine, a catholic loyalty to the sacraments and the threefold ministry of bishops, priests and deacons, and a habit of cultural sensitivity and intellectual flexibility that does not seek to close down unexpected questions too quickly..

The Revd Ian T. Douglas upholds importance of the Anglican Communion
Three holy orders and apostolic succession - bishops, priests, deacons; the importance of the sacraments, specifically, the sacraments of holy communion, the mass, and baptism, but [also] other sacraments such as marriage and confirmation and confession and absolution. We believe in the seven sacraments. In that respect, our sense of identity, our worship style does try to have continuity with the early church, the church catholic.

The search for meaning
Everyone is on a journey through life. Part of this journey is our growing understanding of ourselves and our world, and the development of our relationships with other people who are also undertaking their individual journeys.
As we progress on this journey we seek to make sense of our lives and our place in the world - the search for meaning.
