"The Preachers chiefly shall take heed that they teach nothing in their preaching, which they would have the people religiously to observe and believe, but that which is agreeable to the Doctrine of the Old Testament and the New, and that which the Catholick Fathers and Ancient Bishops have gathered out of that Doctrine." A proposed canon of Elizabeth I, 1571

Proof that I really am an "Evangelical Catholic"

I took an amusing survey on line this afternoon that is meant to categorize one's theological worldview. Of course, they didn't have "Anglo-Catholic" as a category and I turned out as a "Roman Cathlolic", but a species of evangelical was a very close second for me. Hence I was reassured that my own self-understanding as an "evangelical Catholic" is not far from the mark. You can see my results below. On the whole I really am a hybrid of Catholic traditions and "evangelical holiness" (which is a descendant of Anglicanism, after all). You can take the test yourself here.:

"You scored as Roman Catholic. Church tradition and ecclesial authority are hugely important, and the most important part of worship for you is mass. As the Mother of God, Mary is important in your theology, and as the communion of saints includes the living and the dead, you can also ask the saints to intercede for you.

Since the quiz was intensely focused on a narrow slice of christianity, I am left to wonder where a Wahabite, Buddist, or Shinto would score, or even a maronite christian or copt.
