Talk:Anglican Marian theology

Perpetual virignity

Some Anglicans don't agree with this doctrine, is there a refenernce for including this, or modifying the statement in some way? David Underdown 09:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

• The majority of Anglicans do agree with this as a possible doctrine about Mary, but since there is no clear reference to this in Scripture it cannot be a dogma (necessary for salvation).--Lord Balin 02:59, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

The Perpetual Virginity of Mary is recognized by Anglicans as, but not as dogma and is not considered necessary to believe in for salvation. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 20:53, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Comparison with Roman Catholicism

It was incorrect to gloss hyperdulia as "adoration". "Adoration" is normally used as a synonym for "worship", and also refers to "latria". But that leaves me wondering now what is supposed to be different between "hyperdulia" and "veneration as the greatest of saints", esp. since that's what hyperdulia is normally described as. More work needs to be done here. Tb (talk) 23:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Anglo-Catholic & Continuing Anglican

I think this article is mostly from the broad-church Anglican view. Information should be added about Anglo-Catholic practices and beliefs, as well as the beliefs of the Continuing Anglican churches concerning Mary (Anglican churches independant from the Anglican Communion, such as the Traditional Anglican Communion, the Anglican Catholic Church, or the Orthodox Anglican Communion. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 20:56, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Also, I think information about the Marian beleifs of Catholics within the Anglican Use should be added to the article. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 20:56, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Mary gardens

Should a section on Mary gardens be added to the article, as they are a Catholic and Anglican devotional practice to the Virgin Mary? --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 20:58, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Early dedications

I'm sure there were some but they were rare. For (thorough) sourcing on the British/Welsh tendency to dedicate parishes to their "apostles", see the Baring-Gould sources at List of Welsh saints. — LlywelynII 11:33, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Calendar -Principal Feasts

St. Mary the Virgin (The Blessed Virgin Mary) is shown here as a Principal Feast. While those of us Anglo-Catholic minded folks may like this to be so, and it may be so recognized by splinter groups, this feast is not among those listed as a Principal Feast on the Calendars of either the Church of England, the Episcopal Church (United States), or the Anglican Church of Canada. And the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) observes the same seven Principal Feasts as the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada.

The Church of England does, however, classify the Presentation of Christ in the Temple and the Annunciation among the Principal Feasts. See Common Worship (2000), p. 526. Therefore I suggest these two feasts only to be listed under the heading of Principal Feasts here, with Church of England in Parentheses. Perhaps a note could be added in reference to 15 August, and its observance by Anglicans, including some Anglo-Catholics who observe it under the title of the Assumption. This of course would also be the case with the Anglican Ordinariate.

But can anyone document any provence of the Anglican Communion where 15 August is observed as a Principal Feast? BlueMesa171 (talk) 21:28, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

I've moved the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, and the Annunciation under Principal feasts. The Presentation is now observed as a Principal feast by both the Church of England and the Church of Ireland. See Common Worship (2000), p. 526, and the Church of Ireland's Book of Common Prayer (2004), p. 18.

I also moved St Mary the Virgin, 15 August, under Festivals, consistant with the official calendars of the Church of England, the Episcopal Church, the Anglican Church of Canada, and the Anglican Church of North America. BlueMesa171 (talk) 03:37, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
