The Thirty-nine Articles of Religion

The Articles of 1571 given in English and Latin, the assent of which is still required of clergy in the Church of England forms the "authorised standard of doctrine" of the Anglican Church of Australia. They form the basis of the Articles of the Episcopal Church of America and the Twenty-five Articles of the Methodist Church.

The articles were issued in both English and Latin, and are of equal authority. The Latin is therefore included as it may sometimes serve as a guide to when the English is unclear.

If I have the time, at some time in the future I hope to add a short history of the articles.
