Resources for Membership Training, Confirmation Classes
and general Study for all ages



The Continuing Anglican Churches were formed in the late 1970s, and, thus, have not yet fully developed their curriculum resources. Such resources are needed by parishes to be able to properly prepare youth for Confirmation, to prepare adults for Confirmation or Reception, and for use in giving a refresher course in the basics of Anglican Christianity to those who are already members of our Continuing Anglican Churches.

The training of our Continuing Anglican laity, which allows them to truly understand the doctrine and theology of classical Anglicanism, is a most important opportunity and duty that our parishes must not neglect. These prepared booklets and lesson plans for leaders will we hope help fulfill this crucial mission.

The following lesson plans for Confirmation Classes, and booklets on the basics of Christianity, are available for use by Continuing Anglicans of all jurisdictions.

They have been edited for content, and orthodoxy of doctrine, by The Rev. Canon John Hollister, priest in the Anglican Catholic Church.

The authors are:

The Rev. Canon John Hollister - Assisting priest at Christ Church Pro-Cathedral (A.C.C.) in Metarie, Louisiana.

Brother Brian McKee, O.S.L. - Prior of the Southeastern Ohio Chapter of the Order of St. Luke, and a Lay Reader and Organist/Cantor of a mission of the Anglican Catholic Church in the Diocese of the Midwest. McKee formerly served as a Lay Speaker in the United Methodist Church before converting to the A.C.C.

The Venerable Donald B Rice is the Rector and Dean of Christ Church Pro-Cathedral (A.C.C.) in Metarie, Louisiana. He is also the Archdeacon of the Diocese of New Orleans in The Anglican Catholic Church.
