Responding to Guyer’s Theses on Anglicanism Part 5

I recently came across Guyer's Weblog and wish to respond to his Theses on Anglicanism all  42 of them 1 by one.

V. The Anglican conception of itself as a via media must be historicized, for it has had different connotations in different contexts.  It cannot be reified as an ahistorical type which asserts its own validity by always already assuming that the history of Anglican theology has been nothing but the outcome of an overriding desire to avoid theological extremes, regardless as to what these supposed extremes may or may not have been.

At one level I must agree with this also, one of the biggest issues in Anglican theology in the present is that the extremes of theology are now far greater than ever before and so things which would not have been considered by any church during the reformation are now finding themselves part of the discussion as via media. This is why I believe the via media should be subjected to something. Maybe it needs to be historicized, I personally though believe that if it was subjected to the Book of Common Prayer 1662 that all things that within the confineds of the theology set out in that book can be the via media and that things beyond it are indeed beyond the via media. This I admit is a frorm of historicization.
