To be Anglican means:  

*    To be a part of Christ's Church, without excluding or isolating yourself from other Christians.
*    To participate in the life of God's people, with its happiness and sadness.
*    To belong to a community where all persons are respected for their individuality and can use their talents.
*    To demonstrate a theology based on the Holy Scriptures and on Tradition, coherent with intelligence and
      reason.
*    To be prepared to celebrate unity in diversity.
*    To take the Holy Scriptures seriously, without believing that every text must be understood literally.
*    To prefer freedom in Christ to sameness of opinion.
*    To feel devotion and reverence for the Sacraments, without trying to define each point concerning these
      mysteries.
*    To consider the ministry as the duty and privilege of all baptized people.
*    To be strong on morality (all that's good and edifies) and to avoid moralism (that defines salvation as due to
      one's conduct and not to the work of  Christ).
*    To participate in the apostolic inheritance, faith in the Gospel of Christ.
*    To be part of an old and sacred history, which renews itself every day.
*    To believe that the Church belongs to all of us and everyone has the privilege of supporting it in accordance
      with the possibility of each one.
*    To participate in the administration and government of the Church under the established order.
*    To belong to an international, intercultural, and interracial family, that proclaims the Gospel worldwide, as
      commanded by Christ.

The Ten Commandments

Hear the commandments which God gave His people Israel .

1.    I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of slavery; you shall have no other gods but me.
2.    You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is
       in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them.
3.    You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
4.    Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shall you labour and do all you have to do, but the
       seventh day is the Sabbath of the  Lord your God.
5.    Honour your father and your mother.
6.    You shall do no murder.
7.    You shall not commit adultery.
8.    You shall not steal.
9.    You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.
10.  You shall not covet anything that is your neighbour's.
