Appalachian Anglican

by Caleb Ridgeway

We here at the Appalachian Anglican Podcast (Church of the Ascension, Kearneysville, WV) try to create a conversation about Anglicanism in the world today. We feel that to properly discuss various topics that exist in our modern world we need to first look at our roots as the church. Most are familiar with the phrase, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Our aim is to not “reinvent the wheel” when it comes to understanding established doctrine, but to learn from events that happened within church history.

 When we started planning our topics for the podcast, we tried to come at it with the mindset that our listeners could potentially be new to a historic and traditional church environment. We recommend that people listen to the episodes in order since we build upon previous topics to help give a general understanding of what is happening with the liturgy of the church. We try to discuss each topic as a conversation while interjecting thoughts of how we perceive the church exists today similarly as she did in her early history.

We encourage and enjoy any questions from our listeners. We hope that we can provide information to our listeners and give different perspectives and questions to encourage our listeners to understand and work through the overall question of why do we do what we do? You can listen to our podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Breaker, Pocket Casts, RadioPublic, and Anchor.
