Over the past week, I’ve been working on a project that’s been simmering in my mind for a long time: AnglicanWiki.org—a collaborative, reference-style site for defining Anglican terms, history, and theology according to our historic formularies. I feel we need a place apart from the blue-haired revisionists that seem to screech over at the Anglicanism Reddit.

I’ve always admired the way OrthodoxWiki gives the Eastern Church a place to speak in its own voice—a kind of theological commons where the faithful can read, contribute, and preserve what their tradition actually teaches. Anglicanism needs something like that: a place grounded not in passing opinion, but in the Prayer Book, the Articles, and the voices of our Reformers and Fathers.

So I spun up a MediaWiki instance on Amazon Lightsail, configured it myself, and began importing pages from the Book of Common Prayer, the Thirty-Nine Articles, and biographical sketches of key figures like Cranmer. It’s still very early, but the structure is there, and I’m hoping others who care about orthodox Anglican identity will join in—clergy, scholars, and thoughtful laymen alike. I’ll be working on a mass xml upload and editing up some of the existing creative commons materials to reflect the orthodox Anglican perspective.

My goal isn’t to create another blog or debate forum. AnglicanWiki is meant to be a canonical reference point—a place where our vocabulary is shaped by Scripture and the Formularies, not by the shifting winds of online chatter and theological liberalism.

If you’d like to be involved—editing, contributing, or just helping seed the first wave of articles—reach out.
