This Article is perhaps one of the most off-putting of the 39 Articles for many Anglican Churchmen today, for by virtue of its title "Of Predestination" it would seem to confirm the sectarian slander that some make against our Church, calling us a "Calvinist". But this is an ignorant and unlearned claim. Those teachings which are distinctly Calvinist are not found in this Article at all. It may be mildly "Augustinian" because of the statement "to life" which was St. Augustine's contribution to Predestination, but in the main this Article is simply Pauline as Parker points out. In fact, there is nothing for today's Anglicans to fear in this Article, for it is merely a restatement of Holy Scripture and as such it accurately reflects the tension which exists in Holy Scripture between Human Freewill and Divine Foreknowledge. It is a beautifully balanced, and typically Anglican statement. Thanks again, ac!Anglicans Aweighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116272656751801820noreply@blogger.com
