About This Site

Why This Site Exists

The Thirty-Nine Articles are the historic confession of the Church of England, defining Anglican doctrine on the faith, the sacraments, and the relationship between church and state since 1563.

The Heavenly Network, in partnership with The Christian Chain, has developed this network of Church Creed and Confession sites in order to make the historic faith of the Church clearly explained, faithfully presented, and freely accessible to every believer, student, and seeker who wants to understand what the whole Church has always believed together.

This site is a scholarly, non-denominational reference site dedicated to the study of The Anglican Confession. Our mission is to make The Confession accessible, academically rigorous, and contextually explained for Christians, theology students, church leaders, and researchers worldwide.
