Anglican worship is ancient and follows the form of the earliest worship of believers.

​Justin Martyr was born about AD 100 in Samaria. In his First Apology written in AD 155, he passionately defends the morality of the Christian life, and provides various ethical and philosophical arguments to convince the Roman emperor, Antoninus, to abandon the persecution of the Church. This Apology is somewhat long but well worth reading. You can find it HERE.  In the final chapters (65-68), he describes to the emperor what Christians do when they meet together to worship on Sundays. A portion of the text of these chapters has been incorporated into this video.The Apostle John wrote his Gospel c. AD 90 and Justin Martyr wrote this in AD 155. 

"The Anglican Church in North America’s combination of theological conservatism with liturgy and episcopacy may have a particular appeal to American evangelicals seeking greater historic rootedness while retaining orthodox theology within an English-speaking culture." 
excerpted from an article by The Rev Dr. David Goodhew

​It is not thou that shapest God
it is God that shapest thee.
If thou art the work of God
await the hand of the artist
who does all things in due season.
Offer Him thy heart,
soft and tractable,
and keep the form
in which the artist has fashioned thee.
Let thy clay be moist,
lest thou grow hard
and lose the imprint of his fingers.
St. Irenaeus (from Against Heresies, 4.39.2)
