Diverse Currents Within Anglicanism
- The Church of England contains distinct streams: evangelical, Anglo-Catholic and broad/high-church movements that shaped 19th-century disputes.
- Carl Fredrik Wisløff explains these currents influenced liturgy, doctrine and debates over apostolic succession.
Apostolic Succession As Historical Claim
- Anglo-Catholics emphasized apostolic succession as a historical fact rather than merely symbolic.
- Wisløff notes this claim gained prestige particularly within the American communion and ecumenical talks.
The Anglican Quadrilateral's Practical Role
- The Anglican quadrilateral (Scripture, Creeds, Sacraments, Historic Episcopate) became a working basis for reunion efforts.
- Wisløff stresses the quadrilateral's fourth point—historic episcopate—remains controversial but practically influential.
