Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Anglican" mean?
The word Anglican means "of England" and describes churches that originated from the Church of England. And although it began in England, there are now Anglican churches throughout the world. The Anglican Communion (the term used to describe all of the Anglicans in the world) has over 80 million members and is growing more each day.

What does Anglican worship look like?
We are affiliated with the Anglican Mission in American (AMiA). Here's how they describe the different styles that Anglican worship might take:

"The Anglican Mission is rooted in historic faith and practice, and we seek to display a refreshing diversity in expressing our faith. We are united in what we believe—the truth of our Christian witness as taught by Jesus and His apostles. So sometimes you might see our pastors wearing traditional robes during a service with an organ, choir and hymns, but we also appreciate a fresh, contemporary approach to worship as well.   You might just as easily see our pastors in “Hawaiian shirts” and tennis shoes leading worship with guitars and drums. Sometimes we Anglicans worship in beautiful church buildings with stained glass and polished pews, but often you’ll find us worshipping in a storefront, school cafeteria or even a cinema."

"The heart of Anglicanism is found in the three streams of the Scripture, the Spirit and the Sacred. These three streams flow from one river—Jesus Christ and His Gospel. Scripture reveals truth, guides our lives and is authoritative for us and the Church; the Holy Spirit works in us and in the world demonstrating God’s power; and the Sacred illustrates the holy aspect of our faith including our forms of worship and sacraments."

What is the history of Anglican worship?
The Anglican Church was started in the 16th Century during a period called the Protestant Reformation. However, many of the traditions that you'll see in our worship gatherings today actually go back two thousand years ago to the very beginnings of the church itself, just after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. By keeping these ancient traditions we are able to have deep roots into the way the Christian church has always worshipped God. At the Anglican Fellowship of Cincinnati we blend these ancient traditions with contemporary styles of worship creating a time of relevant and exciting worship with a firm foundation in the Scriptural and traditional history of the church.
