We are a ministry rooted in the richness of Anglo-Catholic tradition and the breadth of Anglican faith. Our mission is to deepen the life of prayer and study among the faithful through thoughtful articles, engaging podcasts, and resources for lay-led liturgy.
Whether you are seeking to grow in theological understanding, explore the beauty of Anglican worship, or find guidance in navigating today’s pressing issues, we invite you to journey with us.
“Worship the Lord in the splendour of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.” (Psalm 96:9).
It is fascinating to see how faith, love and hope are not presented as abstract feelings or mere intellectual agreements, but rather as deeply physical, active realities that shape the daily existence of the church.
Paul elevates love and he does this crucially not by diminishing faith and hope, but by highlighting their temporal nature in comparison to love's eternal character.
Following Jesus is most likely not going to make you wealthy, it doesn't guarantee that you're going to be healthy but the message here and in the Gospel is that Jesus is enough. Following Christ will not mean that everything goes right, but following Him means that you know, that you acknowledge and accept that He is enough no matter what.
" that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen." The brilliance of Cranmer's "Collect for Purity" reaches its magnificent summit in the final clauses of the prayer, moving the worshipper from a posture of desperate confession into a breath-taking vision of holy devotion.
"cleanse the thoughts of our hearts" Just as the Spirit of God hovered over the chaotic waters at the dawn of creation to bring forth life and order, we are asking that same Holy Spirit to hover over the chaotic waters of our internal thoughts.
"all hearts are open..." We are remarkably adept at dressing up our selfish ambitions in highly pious language, perhaps trying to convince both ourselves and our fellow parishioners that our desperate prayer for a lucrative promotion is solely so we might give more to the church building fund, when Jesus is perfectly aware we simply fancy a slightly nicer car.
