| The Church of Christ our Saviour, Denison, Texas is an
outreach of the Diocese of the Missouri Valley of the
Anglican Church in America. The parish is dedicated to continuing
worship in the tradition of the Apostles and early Church Fathers just as our
fellow Anglicans have done over the centuries. We believe that the traditional Anglican
expression of the ancient Catholic Faith is as relevant today as it has been
throughout the entire history of the Christian Church. Thus our Christian faith is a lively mix
of traditional Liturgy and practical Biblical Doctrine and Principles.
Along with Traditional Anglicans
(TAC) throughout the world, we hold that the Bible is the inerrant word of God
and we try to practice Christ’s love every day. To us, our faith in Jesus Christ defines
who and what we are, ordering everything that we do. Therefore, along with the witness of
both the Scriptures and the two thousand year history of the Church, we
continue to maintain the all male three-fold ordained ministry of Bishop,
Priest and Deacon. We neither
knowingly ordain practicing homosexuals nor do we
bless same-sex unions. At the same
time we are pro-life and seek to be a witness to the love of Jesus Christ to a
hurting and often disillusioned world.
Who are we? We are the Church and the Church is the
Body of Christ at work in the world.
As Christ’s faithful Bride, the Church is different from the
world, and must not be influenced by it.
We repudiate all deviations from the Faith in whole or in part, and bear
witness to the essential principles of Evangelical Truth and Catholic Apostolic
Order. This is why we cannot be a
part of the Episcopal Church USA nor be in communion with today’s
Archbishop of Canterbury. The same is true for any relationship at this time
with that new group being formed calling itself The Anglican
Church in North America since they continue to ordain women to the deaconate
and the priesthood. To be against
the innovations of these groups is never to be negative, but positive in
maintaining the Faith once delivered unto the Saints.
If you are seeking a Church home,
we invite you to join our Parish family.
We believe that you will find the Parish and the Anglican Church in America to be a
friendly and loving family with ministries and fellowship for the whole family
as we proclaim together, “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and
forever”. Though the world
and society change daily, we don’t.
If this spiritual stability is what you are looking for, please contact
us. |
