Review
"A provocative Anglican Catechism that couples innovative sexual views with traditionalist church teaching".
- Church Times, June 15, 2001
"Edward Norman […] is quick to point out that the work has no official status. It represents the author's personal interpretation of Anglican doctrine and practice, although he expresses the hope that it may be 'useful to Christians of many traditions.'…The opening paragraph […] is highly theoretical in style and aimed at the non-specialist reader. The focus there and throughout the book is on the cognitive aspect of Christian faith…In his discussion of Christian morality, Norman is likely to confound the expectations of many readers, both to his left and to his right…"—The Tablet, August 25, 2001
"There are many excellent features to this book…In particular the sections dealing with the social teaching and witness of the church could stir up a fascinating debate and raise important issues."—Church of England Newspaper
"It is an event of note in the life of the Church when a scholar and churchman of Edward Norman's standing offers us a brief catechism." —Theology, March-April 2002
"It is more than a statement of Christian beliefs; it is an interpretation of them…"
—Brian O' Leary, Epworth review, July 2002.

An Anglican Catechism
By George
The Anglican Catechism is a step in the right direction. The book tries (and with a great deal of success) to capture the essence of the Anglican Way in regards to theology. It is written in a style that flows and I was able to digest the book in just two sittings. References are made to some scripture (but it fell short of the amount needed) and some of the thirty nine articles. If you are already an Anglican the references to the thrity-nine articles were certainly easy but if you are not they just remained a marking of some strange references on the page.
Over all the catechism is worth purchasing just to see how the Anglican Church in general is evolving and trying to blend into society while at the same time trying to maintain essential Christian doctrine and order.

One way through the via media...
By FrKurt Messick
Once in discussion about Anglican beliefs and values, a prominent (now retired) bishop in the American church once said to me that the Episcopal church has no real dogma or doctrine one must subscribe to, but rather rests in the liturgical continuity of practice of the Book of Common Prayer. In fact this is not entirely true, on both sides of the argument; the BCP is a flexible document, often revised - particularly in America - so the continuity of the liturgy is only in the broadest terms, and the idea that there are no things Anglicans must believe stretches credulity, but only just. Trying to pin down just what it is that Anglicans believe is very tricky - put five Anglicans in a room and you'll get six opinions (at least) about most anything.
The title of this text by Edward Norton, 'An Anglican Catechism', is thus very apt. The emphasis here first should be on the first word of the title. It is not THE Anglican Catechism - it is a book of possibilities and interpretations, things which history has shown will undoubtedly change. That this is Anglican does not make it exclusive to the Church of England and its communion partners around the world - there is much to be shared here; nor does it mean that this applies to every part of the church within the official communion boundaries - within days of its publication, people around the communion were disputing different parts of the text.
Norton, a canon of York cathedral under Archbishop David Hope, the 'number two' man in the Church of England, put together this text in response to the growing question about the direction of the church, particularly with the rapid pace of change that has been taking place in the past generation, culminating with a major revision of the liturgy itself - the 2000 Common Worship, which did not contain a catechism. Another major impetus for this text was the publication by the Roman Catholic church of its primary catechism, and the careful reader will notice some similarities of overall structure in outline in the beginning.
There is a three-fold structure to the book: Part I looks at Doctrine and Order; Part II examines Morality and Applications; Part III develops a pattern for Christian Life. The text here is derivative of Norton's long experience in the church, not a rehash of a particular catechism or theology. Thus, it is both individual and communal in various aspects.
The largest section of the text is on Doctrine and Order. This does not follow a particular creedal pattern, but does draw in many of the topics addressed in the regular creeds recited in the liturgies. Norton discusses an Anglican interpretation of issues such as the Trinity, the Creation, Justification by Faith, the structure and role of clergy and laity in the church, the sacraments, the creeds, and more. There are some topics that are not developed very fully - the issue of women's ordination, for example, is still a matter of contention in the Anglican communion, and in the Church of England proper, and yet it receives only one sentence, not of explanation, but of announcement, that the Church of England ordains women to the priesthood.
In the section on Morality, Norton looks at the different kinds of morality, and how these may change over time - political morality, economic morality, environmentalism, war and peace issues, sexuality issues, family rights, human rights, and other general topics of ethical conduct. Norton also addresses in this subject topics such as secular humanism (an appropriate topic for this part) and reincarnation (a topic rather misplaced in this general section).
The final section, on developing a Christian Life, is the shortest section, but draws on the other sections to form a conclusion to the catechism. Practices important to the Christian life such as prayer, confession, self-sacrifice and discipline, looking at suffering, work, community, and authority are examined, leading up to the final statement that we all need to have faith that we live under the mercy of God.
This is a fascinating snapshot of Anglican thought. It is not a systematic series of explanations, but rather, in catechetical format, more of an exposition of beliefs; while there are interpretative statements made, this is neither a scholarly/academic text or an 'introduction'. It assumes some understanding of the beliefs and practices of the Anglican church generally.
Everyone I've known who has read this has found pieces in harmony with their beliefs, and pieces opposed to their beliefs. In good Anglican fashion, they make up their own minds. This is a good guide to help the thinking along.
