Anglican Mainstream - Who We Are

Anglican Mainstream is a community within the Anglican Communion committed to promote, teach and maintain the Scriptural truths on which the Anglican Church was founded. These also guarantee its fellowship with Christians down history and throughout the world. Faithfulness to Scripture as Godís Word is essential for sharing the love and purpose of God in Jesus Christ.

As a global coalition to promote the world-wide gospel ministry of the Anglican Church, Anglican Mainstream has with other organisations and networks sharing the same objective. Only on the basis of and in obedience to the Word of God can Christian mission and service to a hurting and needy world flourish.

"If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at the moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved. To be steady on all fronts besides is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point"
Martin Luther
