What a Traditional Anglican Priest Actually Does Today — Fr. Brandon Letourneau

Fr. Brandon Letourneau was raised in a Jewish home, baptized in a charismatic church, and studied at a string of Roman Catholic and Orthodox seminaries — yet never once wavered from Anglicanism. In this conversation we talk about what traditional Anglican priestly ministry actually looks like today: the prayer book, the cure of souls, spiritual fatherhood, and his hope for the future of the ACNA. Fr. Brandon is the rector of St. Mark's, Loomis (California), a writer and teacher, and a familiar voice in Anglican corners of the internet. ⛪ Chapters 00:00 — Introduction 01:55 — From a Jewish home to a charismatic church 05:16 — Leaving the OPC: taking church history seriously 07:11 — Meeting an Anglican priest 07:38 — Becoming Anglican 08:09 — Formation across the traditions (a lot of seminaries) 15:23 — What the via media actually means 23:05 — Landing at St. Mark's, Loomis 34:24 — Doubling down on prayer book fidelity 41:14 — A prayer book for every age 53:11 — A priest to the whole church 1:03:34 — The priestly vocation: "you just have to do it" 1:05:55 — The priest as spiritual father 1:13:50 — Discerning the priesthood: two answers 1:19:03 — Hope for the ACNA 1:21:11 — Digging holes for the world 🎙️ New episodes of Curious Curate feature in-depth interviews with Anglican priests, theologians, and teachers. 📌 Follow Curious Curate: X → https://x.com/Davidszomorr Instagram →   / curiouscurate   Substack → https://curiouscurate.substack.com If this was helpful, like, subscribe, and leave a comment with your thoughts. #Anglican #ACNA #PrayerBook #Priesthood #Anglicanism
