S
t. Luke's Anglican Church is one of only a few Anglican churches in the Niagara Diocese that offer an Anglo-Catholic style of liturgy. What exactly does this mean and how does the liturgy differ from that at other Anglican churches? The following will provide a brief history of Anglo-Catholicism as well as a description of the form and style of liturgy being offered at St. Luke's.

Anglo-Catholic Worship at St. Luke's

  • St. Luke's is part of the Anglican Church of Canada
  • The Eucharistic Lectionary and Anglican Cycle of Prayer are both observed
  • The Sacrament is reserved, available for administering to the sick and shut-in
  • We affirm that prayer is corporate – people are not spectators at the liturgy, but participants
  • We affirm that the Mass is not a theatrical production, but a drama workshop in which all present have a part to play
