We have watched some turn the Church into politics, while others reshape it around every passing cultural trend. Chaplaincy deserves better than both extremes.
The Anglican Ordinariate of Saint George serves as the chaplain endorsing body of the Anglican Province of North America, grounded in the historic Anglican middle way — sacramental, creedal, pastoral, and centered on Jesus Christ.
Praesens Inter Servientes.
Present among those who serve.
Anglicanism in America has fractured into camps that look more like cable news than the Body of Christ. We didn't sign up for either of them. We signed up for the faith once delivered to the saints — Word rightly preached, Sacraments duly administered, knees bent at the same altar.
"The Communion is not a federation of opinions, but a fellowship of men and women who have knelt together at the same altar and received the same Body of Christ."
The Rt. Rev'd Brent E. Whetstone
Bishop and Chaplain, Ordinariate of Saint George
The four marks the historic Anglican settlement holds essential to the visible unity of Christ's Church. Not a platform. Not a brand. The faith of the undivided Church.
The Old and New Testaments as the revealed Word of God, containing all things necessary to salvation.
The Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds, with the four Ecumenical Councils of the undivided Church.
Holy Baptism and the Lord's Supper — instituted by Christ Himself as effectual signs of grace.
The threefold ministry of Bishops, Priests, and Deacons in unbroken succession from the Apostles.
The Anglican Ordinariate of Saint George is a non-territorial ecclesiastical jurisdiction based in Cleveland, Ohio — the chaplaincy diocese of the Anglican Province of North America. We send clergy into hospitals and barracks, classrooms and command posts, fire stations and emergency rooms.
The Province is one of the Provinces of the Anglican Free Communion International — founded in England on 2 November 1897, holding the historic apostolic faith through more than twelve decades of witness.
Prayer forms belief, and belief shapes action.
