St Luke's Church, Modbury

About us

 

Above all we are a Christian Church and we are also an Anglican Church

 

 What does it mean to be Anglican? How do we differ from other Churches?

 

• We are in a Communion of over 70 million people, spread all over the world.

 

• We see ourselves as both Catholic and Reformed.

 

• We base what we believe on Scripture – but have a very high regard for both Tradition and Reason.

 

• We are an Episcopal Church – led by bishops.

 

• We are a sacramental church.

 

• We hold to the teachings of the early Councils of the Church, and the beliefs expressed in the Creeds.

 

• We are not the church – we are part of the Universal Church.

 

• We have our origins in the Church of England – but all parts of the Anglican Church are autonomous.

 

• We hold the Archbishop of Canterbury in high esteem – but he is the first among equals.

 

• We do not think that we know the right way – but we are willing to look for it!

 

• We have as many failings as everyone else!

 

We try to welcome everyone.
