Anglican Church of Canada historical documents
The Anglican Formularies
The formularies (defining documents) of the Anglican tradition world-wide have recently been affirmed in the draft Anglican Covenant as including the 1662 Book of Common Prayer as the standard of doctrine and worship, the Ordinal (containing the forms for “ordering” or ordaining deacons, priests and bishops), and The Thirty-nine Articles of Religion. These documents in turn center Anglican Christianity on the Canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and uphold these Holy Scriptures “as containing all things necessary for salvation and as being the rule and standard of faith”. They further affirm that the catholic creeds (The Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, the creed of St. Athanasius) “set forth” that faith. For the Anglican Church of Canada, the Solemn Declaration of 1893 affirms all these historic foundational documents as the basis for its faith, identity and very existence.
