Articles of Orthodoxy

(t)he (a)nglican (c)hurch as exampled by modern day Canterbury is a body without form, this is to say its doctrines are like the shape of water which ever mold you decide to pour it into that is what it believes. One of the things that makes an ecclesiastical body work is a common Doctrine and worship, once you no longer have common Doctrine and worship(the prior being more important than the latter) you no longer have a function body but instead a body infected with disease, a body which over time will degenerate into non-being. There for the following is a list of articles which (with the exception of I-VI have no real set order) all professed Anglicans believe, those who deny any of these articles are Heterodox.
Note: The whole of Christian faith cannot be contained in one book therefore recognize that the articles listed here are not the whole of Orthodox-Catholic Faith.

Articles of Orthodoxy

Article I
I believe in God the Father the Omnipotent, Maker of Heaven and Earth, of all that is seen and unseen.

Article II
And in one Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God, the only-begotten. And born of the Father, before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God. Begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven. And became incarnate by the Holy Spirit in the Virgin Mary: and was made man. He was crucified also for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, and of whose kingdom shall have no end.

Article III
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son, and with them is adored and glorified: Who spake by the prophets.

The Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, the Holy Eucharist, Holy Matrimony, Holy Orders, Penance and Unction of the Sick, as objective and effective signs of the continued presence and saving activity of Christ our Lord among His people and as His covenanted means for conveying His grace. In particular, we affirm the necessity of Baptism and the Holy Eucharist (where they may be had) -- Baptism as incorporating us into Christ (with its completion in Confirmation as the "seal of the Holy Spirit"), and the Eucharist as the sacrifice which unites us to the all-sufficient Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross and the Sacrament in which He feeds us with His Body and Blood.(The Affirmation of St. Louis 1977)

Article VIII
that in the most blessed Sacrament of the Altar, by the strength and efficacy of Christ's mighty word, it being spoken by the priest, is present really, under the form of bread and wine, the natural body and blood of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, conceived of the Virgin Mary, and that after the consecration there remaineth no substance of bread and wine, nor any other substance but the substance of Christ, God and man;(Six Articles 1539)

Article IX
that communion in both kinds is not necessary ad salutem, by the law of God, to all persons; and that it is to be believed, and not doubted of, but that in the flesh, under the form of the bread, is the very blood; and with the blood, under the form of the wine, is the very flesh; as well apart, as though they were both together.(Six Articles 1539)

Article XV
The Holy Orders of bishops, priests and deacons as the perpetuation of Christ's gift of apostolic ministry to His Church, asserting the necessity of a bishop of apostolic succession (or priest ordained by such) as the celebrant of the Eucharist - these Orders consisting exclusively of men in accordance with Christ's Will and institution (as evidenced by the Scriptures), and the universal practice of the Catholic Church.(The Affirmation of St. Louis 1977)
