Lambeth Quadrilateral

The Lambeth Quadrilateral is a foundational guideline for Anglican worship and identity, formulated in 1888. It outlines four key elements: the authority of Scripture, the importance of the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion, the historic creeds of the Apostles' and Nicene, and the importance of an educated clergy. These elements serve as core principles to unify Anglican churches around the world, ensuring they maintain essential Christian doctrines and practices while allowing for cultural and contextual differences. Essentially, it acts as a blueprint for what defines Anglican faith and worship.
