Husband. Father. Anglican Priest.
Trinity Sunday is unlike any other Principal Feast. It doesn't commemorate an event — it celebrates who God eternally is: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This week we explore the history, doctrine, and significance of the day the church sets aside to worship the Triune God.
We entered a harvest we did not plant. Someone prayed for us before we were born. Someone built this congregation before we arrived. The faithfulness of this church is the planted harvest someone else will one day reap. We plant, we water, God gives the growth.
Four times a year, the Anglican calendar sets aside three days for fasting, prayer, and intercession for the Church's ministry. Most Anglicans have never heard of them. Here's what Ember Days are, when they fall, and how to observe them.
This Memorial Day, we explore the heart of the Gospel through John 15: “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” We honor those who served and gave their lives while fixing our eyes on Christ, the true Keeper and the Lamb who shepherds the multitude.
The same Spirit who hovered over the waters at creation, who breathed life into dry bones, who fell like wind and fire in Jerusalem — has been given to us. Not as a memory. As a present reality. Pentecost is not history. It is where we live.
Pentecost is not a spiritual experience that can be kept private. The Spirit comes with wind and fire and immediately produces proclamation. To receive the Spirit is to be sent. Every generation of the Church stands in the same need: pour out this gift anew.
