To orient ourselves for Election Day, we must understand that God establishes human government to promote good and punish evil.

As fire and brimstone rain down upon Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot’s wife looks back. In that moment, she becomes a pillar of salt. What good is a pillar of salt in a barren desert landscape?

The collects and readings appointed for the last three weeks of the Pentecost season create a pre-Advent period of preparation for the new church year. Our attention shifts dramatically to themes of knowledge about the end times and spiritual readiness for the second coming of Christ. In Year A, the church assigns three consecutive readings…

The poetry of All Saints is especially wonderful because it captures the multiple themes of the three-day feast, or triduum, often collectively known as Allhallowtide. In this article, I share three sonnets, by three Anglican poets, organized to fit the three days.

We continue in the liturgical year with Matthew’s account of the last week of our Lord’s life, leading up to the crucifixion. It is still early in the week when Jesus is tested by the religious leaders of Jerusalem who are looking for a legal motivation to kill him. In Year A, we skip the…

When I first read Ignatius’ letters, I was captivated by a man who loved Christ more than anything.

The day of a funeral begins with grief. The family of the deceased feels the sharp pain of loss.

Over the last three Sundays in Year A, we have meditated in worship on three consecutive parables Jesus delivered to the religious leaders in Jerusalem, each designed to demonstrate their condemnation before God as unbelievers.

On October 16, 1555, in Oxford, England, Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley, bishops in the English Church, died as martyrs. Bound back-to-back, they were burned at the stake.

Andrew Brashier’s book, An Anglican Anchor seeks… to offer a framework for a renewed appreciation for the Anglican heritage that is ours.
