A house divided against itself cannot stand. (Mark 3:25)
Today there are a large number of Christian denominations, and between them they have some truly irreconcilable differences in religious opinion. Interestingly, sometimes a position can be proved or disproved and yet the beliefs persist unabated. Most Anglicans - at least here in Australia - believe that all Christians are united by Jesus, and that these petty differences of opinion don't matter in the long-run. In fact the Anglican church tolerates a huge amount of internal disagreement. There are ordained priests and bishops who do not believe in textual criticism, and those that do. There are those that will swear black-and-blue that Jesus was crucified on a Friday, and others that admit it could have been a Wednesday. So I'm here to answer your questions and explain some of the key differences of opinion that Anglicans hold especially when compared to the Catholic and Orthodox traditions.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
