I've been shaped mainly by one church and have not been exposed to the "theology" or meanings of words like "Liberal Protestantism" or "Broad Church" or "Anglo-Catholic", "Anglo-Evangelical", etc. If I had to classify the theology of my church I'd say it was "in essentials, unity; in doubtful matters, liberty; in all things, charity." I am new to seminary and have not yet had a systematic theology class, although I love to study theology "on the side". I have tended to study Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, CS Lewis, and NT Wright. But I think I have not read most of the literature that many claim characterizes the TEC today. Do you by chance have a good reference that would describe the beliefs of each of these (and any other) "labels" in terms of what they tend to believe about the creeds, sacraments, salvation, evangelism, mission, God's purpose in the world, etc? Thanks! Laurie Dr. Witt,
