The following paper was given at a gathering between clergy of the Anglican Church North America and the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod on Tuesday, April 23rd. Many direct quotes are taken from Richard Hooker's work Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity, which can be found in the public domain. The references refer to book, chapter, and section; so V.lvi.6 would refer the reader to book five, chapter fifty six, section six.
