Institutions and communities in the twenty-first century are experiencing identity crises, a phenomenon from which religious traditions such as Angli-canism are not immune. Contemporary Anglicanism is becoming more diverse and, therefore, more contested and difficult to define. This article offers a nuanced definition of Anglicanism as a means of enabling Anglicans to understand themselves more clearly, a self-understanding which, in turn, will facilitate any future reform.

The Kigali Commitment dedication to the authority of Scripture should be cheered. But if left to itself, it is easily forgotten that Scripture’s birthplace and guardian are the Church and her tradition. As Paul wrote, “the Church of the living God is the pillar and foundation of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15). Without attention to that pillar and foundation, the edifice called Christian orthodoxy starts to weaken and will eventually collapse. The Church’s tradition in creeds and liturgies and patristic teaching is indispensable for interpreting Scripture rightly.

Evangelical identity has been much contested over the years, with the meaning of the term being understood differently in different times and contexts. This paper makes the case that, in the Anglican context at least, there is a consistent underlying Evangelical identity which is about an emphasis on biblical preaching that calls for conversion to Jesus Christ and encourages holiness of life, lived out in the context of Anglican polity and practice.
