First off, they are still working with a heretical construct, which we Orthodox Call the Filioque. By substituting Man for God at the apex of the Holy Trinity, all sorts of heresies eventually will arise. Therefore, perhaps some Traditionalist Anglican could find, in their faith, a means to recapture the more Orthodox construct of the Trinity, to forge a new, healthier trinitarianism for a revivified Anglicanism. And you ahve one in the UK, and are probably not even aware of it- http://www.holycatholicchurch-wr.org/ Bishop Wright's comments on the fallacy of the filioque are, IMHO, nothing short of miraculous- especially for a non-Orthodox Westerner to iterate. http://www.holycatholicchurch-wr.org/page21.html Sincerely.

I'm familiar with this initiative and from what I've seen, it's one of the hopeful signs of new life in the British Anglican world. It's one of those wonderful islands of spiritual and missional vitality. And you are right. Fresh Expressions deserves every bit of support and encouragement possible. Zack:

Keep the insight and observations coming. As for the Anglican church, I have some friends who come from that tradition and through them I have become aware of an initiative of the Anglican Church (in partnership with the Methodist Church) called <a href="http://www.freshexpressions.org.uk" rel="nofollow">"Fresh Expressions".</a>. While the Anglican church indeed hasn't seemed to keep with the change of English and European culture, Fresh Expressions seems to be a effort in which the church is giving freedom to those who are feel called to re-imagine the Anglican tradition. From my perspective it's a quite risky endeavor and one in which should be applauded. Here are some links to check out about Fresh Expressions: http://www.freshexpressions.org.uk http://www.moot.uk.net http://www.emergingchurch.info/research/ianmobsby/index.htm There's many more, but here's just a few.
