Holy Trinity Asia is part of the ancient Christian tradition, with nearly 1,900 years of apostolic heritage. Missionaries from the early Church (2nd century) were sent to the British Isles as early as the second century to proclaim the Gospel. Since then, the Christian faith has taken root and flourished in that land. We stand within this unbroken lineage and sacred heritage.

In the 16th century, Western Christianity underwent a significant reformation aimed at restoring the Church to her original apostolic faith and practice. While this movement gave rise to various expressions of reform, some groups—known as the Radical Reformers—departed from the historic doctrines and order of the Church. Though we are sympathetic toward some of these movements that sought truth sincerely, we do not identify with their theological innovations or ecclesial ruptures.

Today, many assume the term “Reformed” refers exclusively to Protestant traditions such as Lutheranism, Calvinism, or Zwinglianism. We are not Lutherans, Calvinists, or Zwinglians. Neither are we in communion with radicalized Western Churches -  those who embraced teachings and practices contrary to the apostolic faith, such as the blessing of same-sex unions, the ordination of women; and the rejection of the efficacy of the sacraments necessary for salvation and the traditional liturgical life of the apostolic Church. We reject such departures as incompatible with the faith once delivered to the saints (ref. St. Jude 1:3).

When we speak of being “Reformed,” we mean a return to the practice and order of the early, undivided Church—a reformation that is faithful, not innovative. In this sense, we are often described as Reformed Catholic or as part of the orthodox English Church tradition.

"One canon, reduced to writing by God himself, two testaments, three creeds, four general councils, five centuries, and the series of Fathers in that period—the centuries, that is, before Constantine, and two after, determine the boundary of our faith." - (Bp. Lancelot Andrewes)
