Join All Saints, “Both Small and Great”

by Mark Marshall | Oct 30, 2021 | Anglicans, Church Year, Eschatology, Go to Church

On an All Saints Day, John Keble delivered the sermon “Praise to God from All Saints”, which can be found (with difficulty thanks to the uselessness of search engines) in Plain Sermons, vol. 6, sermon CLXXXIX. He expounded upon the stirring verse, Revelation 19:5. In...

We Hope For Light

by Anne Kennedy | Oct 24, 2021 | Anglicans, Apostasy, Church Growth, Church Year, Coronavirus, Go to Church, Jesus
