Anglicanism for dummies

[RileyG]

Is there any manual to understand Anglicanism for those who have very little knowledge of it?

God bless

Hmm. Was there a particular aspect you're interested in? Liturgy, theology, history, something else?

All of the above? Sorry for not narrowing it down. Specifically theology.

It's hard to know what I'd recommend, there. Maybe Mark Chapman's Anglicanism: A Very Short Introduction? It'd at least give you an overview and help you work out what else you want to look at.

Of course, I realise you've been asking lots of questions here, and you're really welcome to keep doing that, or to explore some things by PM if that helps.

Thank you!!

When I was first becoming Episcopalian, my parish had an Inquirer's Class for people exploring the Episcopal Church. The book they used was What Is Anglicanism?, by Urban Holmes. It's been a while since I read it, but I remember it being a good introduction to the Anglican tradition.

"Simply Anglican" by Winfield Bevins. It covers most aspects of the Anglican church in a succinct easily readable way.

Thank you everyone! I love learning about many faith traditions. It helps keep my mind sharp.
