“Fundamentalism is not taught in the [Anglican] liturgy. The function of the Church as the interpreter of Scripture is set forth, both in words in the ordination rites and in liturgical action in the way the Bible is used and preached in the Sunday liturgies. The statements of the catechism go further than the lex orandi, but they are consonant with it and form the basis for the Episcopal Church’s position outlined there. God did not dictate the Bible, but inspired its human authors without overruling their human limitations. The Bible is not self-explanatory; it is interpreted by the Church.” – p. 292

“But this volume is not a work of systematic theology. It is a reflection on theology prima, and it will leave many ambiguities. The ambiguities exist, not because the liturgy and its theology are confused—although a good case can be made that its theology of confirmation in confused at present and has been for centuries—but because the theology of the liturgy is not really a system and therefore cannot be systematized in different ways by different schools of academic theologians without being betrayed.” – p. 302
