What does the Anglican Church stand for?

A question posed by The Rev. Dr. Gary Nicolosi here:

Did you know that more people around the world can identify the golden arches of McDonald’s than the cross of Jesus Christ?

Why is that?

Ask any bystander what the Anglican Church of Canada stands for and you will probably get a blank stare.

If it comes to that, ask any Anglican and you will probably get a blank stare. The Anglican Church of Canada has gone to great pains not to stand unequivocally for the foundational beliefs of the faith for which it thinks it is a merchant. Bishops and priests routinely dither on questions of Jesus’ divinity, his atoning sacrifice on the cross, his bodily resurrection and man’s innate sinfulness. Many priests say that they cannot, in good conscience, recite the creeds and some no longer hold with antiquated ideas such as heaven and hell.

Perhaps that is why.
