The Canterbury Calgarian is a blog about Christianity from the perspective of a Calgarian Anglo-Catholic. It will discuss issues of theology, church history, current and past controversies in the Church and issues in other traditions of Christianity than Anglicanism. Some posts may be purely instructional histories, others may be apologetics. All will represent personal opinion and are not represented as being definitive or authoritative.
I was raised in two different protestant churches, but as an adult began attending my local Anglican parish, having felt that certain things were decidedly lacking from my days of worship at those other churches. While I have no formal, academic, theological training, I have a broad interest in issues of theology and in understanding the faith revealed by Christ, which I practice in an evangelical, charismatic and Catholic manner.
My own view is primarily conservative and catholic, though I have broad evangelical and charismatic influence as well, being a broad admirer of men like the Rev. Nicky Gumbel and the Alpha programme which originated out of Holy Trinity, Brompton.
Over the years, politics have been my passion, but politics and non-Christian current events will be secondary issues on this blog, which will focus on issues of theology and church from an Anglo-Catholic lay member's perspective. It publishes once a week on Sundays, and may occasionally publish other features on other days.
While I will make an effort to speak impartially, particularly as regards matters of history, this blog contains material from my own personal perspective. It is not associated with or representative of my own parish, the Diocese of Calgary or the Anglican Church of Canada.
All truth on these pages comes from God; all heresies or inaccuracies are my own.
