The History of All Saints' Cathedral

The "country church of Talbert" is a traditional Anglican Church in America (ACA) parish using the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.

We are a small and friendly family in this historic Talbert community. This country church of Talbert has been in almost continuous use as a house of worship for nearly a century.

Old man Talbert bought the acreage in 1896, and in the early 1900s gave half an acre and $50 to the Methodist Church (an offshoot from Anglicanism) to put up most of the current building in an area known as at the time as Gospel Swamps.

The Church has been Anglican for 30 years and is a registered landmark in the State of California.

The Anglican Church in America

We are members of the Anglican Church in America, a part of the Traditional Anglican Communion, which has its roots in the English Catholic (i.e. Whole) Church that was born within 200 years of Christ's life on earth. Today's Anglican Church is a continuation of the oid church under the care of a bishop and other clergy who remain loyal to the traditional Christian faith and practice.

So, likewlse, we at All Saints owe a debt we could never repay to the Whole or Catholic Church, to the Methodists, and to the hundreds who have kept this "Country Church of Talbert" alive in Jesus' Name. We couid not begin to mention or thank them, yet God knows them and wlll reward them.

The Nicene Creed

I BELIEVE in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible:

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; Begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God; Begotten, not made; Being of one substance with the Father; By whom all things were made: Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man: And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried: And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures: And ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the Father: And he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spake by the Prophets: And I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church: I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins: And I look for the Resurrection of the dead: And the Life of the world to come. Amen.
