Rt. Rev. Dr. Ashley Null on Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, Affective Theologian

The Anglican Diocese of the Living Word is pleased to bring you Great Anglican Bishops, a series of five short videos to help us understand the role and office of a bishop and to acquaint us with great Anglican bishops of the past. We will release one video every day this week as we approach the consecration of Bishop-elect Marc Steele on Saturday, August 16.

The Rt. Rev. Dr. Ashley Null is the Bishop of North Africa in the Province of Alexandria, theological advisor to several ACNA entities, and a chaplain to elite athletes. He is also an eminent scholar of Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, the architect of the Book of Common Prayer. For this installment of our video series, Bishop Ashley explicates Cranmer's careful use of the Comfortable Words to lure us into the loving embrace of Christ.
