The catholic Anglican tradition
emphasises
the worship of God: Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit
the centrality of Christ’s incarnation,
life, death
and resurrection
serving Christ in others,
especially those most in need
the Apostolic Ministry, the authority
of the Church, the wisdom of the Scriptures, the gift of human reason, and
the effective grace of the Sacraments
God as the Creator of all things who blesses
creation and calls it good
the enabling, life-giving power and presence of the Holy
Spirit
ACU
affirms
that the Anglican Communion is part of the one, holy,
catholic and apostolic Church
that the richness and diversity of the catholic
Anglican tradition are vital for the fullness of God's mission to the world through the Church
that, according with the Word of God, all people
– irrespective of race, gender or sexuality
– are to be welcomed, nurtured, and encouraged into
and in the life,
ministry and government of the Church
ACU seeks
to encourage and maintain the diversity of worship,
thought and practice of the catholic faith within the Anglican Church of Australia
to present a balanced catholic Anglican viewpoint on
important issues in the faith and life of the Church within our diocese, province and the national
church
to provide a forum for open, representative and
honest dialogue on current issues across the range
of catholic Anglican viewpoints
ACU
therefore
organises lectures, seminars, and discussion forums
on important issues facing the Anglican Church
encourages members to worship together on occasions,
such as the annual Keble celebration
celebrates the rich diversity of
Anglican Christianity
