This We Believe: Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion Class
Details
Join us for The 39 Articles of Religion class. We will be working our way through the Articles every other Wednesday from 1-2:30pm in the Fellowship Hall.
The 1571 (and final) version of the Articles succinctly states their purpose: “For the avoiding of diversities of opinions and for the establishing of Consent touching true religion.” While it is clear that the Articles speak to sixteenth-century issues in the Church of England, they are much broader in scope and more comprehensive with their attention to such core Christian doctrines as the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, and the authority of Holy Scripture. By addressing many matters — controversial and noncontroversial to the times — the Articles show themselves to be the church’s confession of faith.
