Here is a great example of Anglican theology. Dr. Peter Leithart, (currently) a Presbyterian that has been heavily influenced by Eastern Orthodoxy, and has even been caught teaching in Anglican establishments, writes this in his book Against Christianity:
“Paul did not agree that the gospel would be true even if no one lived out the gospel. Paul’s gospel had an empirical test built into it; if no one was transformed, then the message that announced the transformation could not possibly be true. The first and chief defense of the gospel, the first “letter of commendation” not only for Paul but for Jesus, is not an argument but the life of the Church conformed to Christ by the Spirit in service and suffering. A community of sinners whose corporate life resembles Christ - that is the Church’s first apologetic. The very existence of such a city is our main “argument.”
What does salvation actually look like? It looks like the people of God conforming to Christ’s image [I took the word obedience out so I would not stumble those that are nervous about RC and Arminian theology]! Salvation is not the Bible, nor is it the vocabulary in the Bible. It is not a one time emotional experience. Salvation is God’s good grace: His mercy in action. It is what God has done and is doing for His people - changing their lives and producing life. Salvation is eschatological; it revolves around the very foundation of the creative order and its redemption, and the time that it takes to redeem this creative order. Salvation is completely inclusive to God working in history and making His elect a part of this redemptive history! His plan did not start in the 60’s Jesus movement. It did not start in the Reformation. God’s plan of salvation started in the Garden of Eden and extended through creation from there. From the birth of Seth, God’s people “began to call upon the name of the Lord.”
How is this Via Media? This theology is Via Media because it describes not just an institution in and of itself as salvific, but it describes an entire people, including but not limited to ages of people such as the Reformation. This theology is both ecclesiastical as well as spiritual, and symbolic as well as doctrinal. Anglican theology is (or should be) influenced from both sides: Roman/Eastern, as well as “American” (Catholic/Orthodox as well as Protestant). It is, as my mentor/pastor says, “the best of both worlds.”
