Anglo-Catholic Catechism

Hello

I wasn't sure whether to put this in Catholicism or in Anglicanism, so my apologies if this is in the wrong place.

So I've seen the Catholic Catechism, and I've read the Anglican catechism from the BCP 1946 version, but do Anglo-Catholics have their own catechism?

Am I right in thinking Anglo-Catholics are in between Roman Catholicism and Anglicanism/Episcopalianism?

Many thanks
Treks

Ango-Catholics are Anglicans who have strong sympathies towards the Catholic Church, and are more likely to be more "High Church" and conservative on matters of faith, morals and practice. You can describe their faith on the whole as being in between Roman Catholicism and Anglicanism, but Anglo-Catholics find themselves either remaining in the Anglican Church or, increasingly, jumping ship for Roman Catholicism, as the Church of England and the rest of the Anglican Communion becomes more liberal.

As far as an Anglo-Catholic catechism goes, I'll let those with some education on the subject speak about that--but I would guess that the Book of Common Prayer would be one of their materials.

Thank you Shiranui. I read the catechism from the Book of Common Prayer. It's a lot shorter than the Roman Catholic one!! :)

Hah, true dat; the Roman Catholic Catechism does its best to cover every aspect of faith and life, both inside and outside of the Church. I don't think the BCP tries to be as comprehensive.
