Thirty-Nine Articles
English church tenets
The Thirty-Nine Articles are the defining statement of doctrine for the Church of England, established in 1563 during the reign of Elizabeth I.
They outline Anglican positions on scripture, salvation, sacraments, and church authority—charting a middle course between Roman Catholicism and continental Protestantism.
Anglican clergy historically subscribed to them upon ordination: He affirmed the Thirty-Nine Articles before taking holy orders.
