About us

St John’s is an Anglican Church in the Catholic tradition
 

What does it mean to be Anglican? How do we differ from other Churches?
  • We are in a Communion of over 70 million people, spread all over the world.
  • We see ourselves as both Catholic and Reformed.
  • We base what we believe on Scripture – but have a very high regard for both Tradition and Reason.
  • We are an Episcopal Church – led by bishops.
  • We are a sacramental church.
  • We hold to the teachings of the early Councils of the Church, and the beliefs expressed in the Creeds.  
  • We are not THE church – we are part of the Universal Church.
  • We have our origins in the Church of England – but all parts of the Anglican Church are autonomous.
  • We hold the Archbishop of Canterbury in high esteem – but he is the first among equals.
  • We do not think that we know the right way – but we are willing to look for it!
  • We have as many failings as everyone else!
 
We try to welcome everyone.
