Beliefs

We believe in light of the teaching of Jesus that two Sacraments are generally necessary for salvation: Baptism and the Sacrament of the Altar.

Baptism is the washing-away of sin, both personal, and original. The Sacrament of the Altar is also referred to as Holy Communion, the Eucharist, or the Lord’s Supper, among other names, all meaning the same Service, commonly called the Mass, centered on the Holy Sacrament of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus, the Christ. Of course, we observe the other five historical sacraments as well.

To receive the holy Sacrament, you must be baptised and confirmed in a Catholic Church, or be baptised, and desirous of receiving Confirmation into the Orthodox Anglican Church. We, as Orthodox Anglicans, accept the validity of the Sacraments of the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches, as well as the Anglican Province of Christ the King, the United Episcopal Church, the Anglican Province of America, the Anglican Church in America, the Diocese of the Holy Cross. Those Confirmed in the Episcopal Church, prior to A.D. 1976 are also welcome.

We hope you will join us and share with us God’s love and grace.
