Bishop Ordinary of the Diocese of the Advent

Rt. Rev. Charles Morley

It is our desire to set forth Protestant Anglicanism, the Biblical and ancient faith and the faith of the English Reformation, as the purest expression of renewed Christianity.

In the 15th Century the Reformation started by a German Augustinian monk named Martin Luther spread through Europe.The Church in England had a unique opportunity to use the political difficulties of the king to bring the Protestant faith to reform the Church. Like Luther and Lutheranism, the Anglican faith reformed the Church of England from the errors of Roman Catholicism while avoiding the radical reformation of Puritanism and Presbyterianism.

We embrace the Anglican standards as faithful to Apostolic Christianity. These standards include the King James Bible/Textus Receptus, the 39 Articles of Religion, and the historic 1928 Book of Common Prayer.

The ancient catholic faith renewed through the English Protestant Reformation as expressed in the ancient creeds, the 39 Articles of Religion, and the Book of Common Prayer.

Protestant Anglicanism affirms the following truths.

  • The Church is the Pillar and Ground of Truth.
  • 3 Order of Ministry as being Biblical and Apostolic-Bishops, Priests, and Deacons.
  • The sacred liturgy of the Episcopal Church as found in the 1928
    Book of Common Prayer and earlier editions.
  • The verbally inspired Providentially Preserved Word of God found in the Textus Receptus-translated in the King James Authorized Edition of the NT, which is the authoritative text for Anglicans.
  • Justification by faith alone through the imputed righteousness of Christ alone.
  • Traditional marriage between a man and woman and pro-life from conception to natural death.

Protestant Anglicanism opposes the following errors:

  • Romanistic error: justification by works and other teachings that promote human merits assist in salvation.
  • Presbyterian errors: regulative principle of worship and Presbyterian form of Church government which overthrows the biblical and apostolic form of Church government-Episcopacy, the rule of Bishops.
  • Denial of common grace, natural law, and the belief that fallen humans no longer bear the image of God.
  • Millennialism, dispensationalism, “secret rapture”doctrine, and cultural fundamentalism.
  • Anabaptism, Pentecostalism/Charismatic movement, and Judiazing of
    the Church.
  • Darwinism.
  • Abortion, mercy killing, homosexual marriage, and the culture of death that devalues human life.

We invite you to explore these pages for your own edification for contemplation and devotion, learning, and encouragement.

We hope Christians find this site helpful in your own Christian devotion.

We pray that those persons who do not know Christ as their savior may come to trust in the finished work of Christ on the cross as the sufficient and only sacrifice for their sins.
