HOW KNOWLEDGABLE ARE YOU AS AN ANGLICAN?

Where would you find the Chancel, Porch, Nave, Sedilia and Credence Table?

Who wears a Zucchetto, Biretta, Chasuble, Maniple, Amice, Cope, Rochet and Stole?

Where would you see a Burse, Corporal, Ciborium, Paten, Purificator, Missal and Lavabo Bowl?

OK, your 30 minutes are up.

You can read about this and EVERYTHING else you need to know about understanding Anglicanism in a wonderful handbook written by Canon, The Revd Father R Roy Snyman entitled “Travelling along the Anglican way”. The history and formation of the Anglican Church is also outlined and meanings are given for all our symbols and practices.

Simplistically explained and well illustrated, this is a MUST handbook for all Anglicans and I would strongly recommend it for young people as well (especially those in Confirmation and Bible/Catechism Classes).

Copies (at R60.00 each) can be obtained from the Secretary of the Publications Committee on 011-8365825, fax: 011-8365782 or email publish@anglicanchurchsa.org.za.
