Following Matthew in Year A, we continue walking with Jesus in our worship and overhearing his teaching during the most prolific period of his earthly ministry. In the Gospel reading appointed for Proper 11A, Matthew 13:24-30, 34-43, we hear our Lord’s presentation and interpretation of what the disciples call “the parable of the weeds in…

How do we start a movement and see a new generation come to the Lord? These are the questions that Discipology: The Art and Science of Making Disciples attempts to answer.

The canticles are not liturgical garnish. They form part of the rhythm by which Scripture becomes prayer and prayer becomes praise.

In this early stage of Year A, with the Gospel of Matthew as our guide, we are walking with Jesus through the early stages of his ministry in Galilee. Starting with Proper 10A, for three consecutive Sundays, we will sit with the crowds to whom Jesus tells his parables focused on planting, sowing, and growth…

George Washington was born into a deeply Anglican family and remained a faithful Anglican layman for his entire life. He was baptized in the church as an infant, married a pious Anglican woman, and was buried with the burial office from the 1789 Book of Common Prayer. In between these sacramental milestones, Washington served as…

When the Gafcon Primates announced a Global Anglican Communion of churches committed to the Jerusalem Declaration, it naturally followed that they would order it with the threefold ministry of bishops, priests, and deacons.

In his thoroughly researched study, Lady Eclecte: The Lost Woman of the New Testament, Lincoln Blumell of Brigham Young University challenges the near-universal theory that ἐκλεκτῇ κυρίᾳ in 2 John 1 refers to a local church via feminine metaphor.

There are few days on the liturgical calendar that bring together two figures as different from one another as Peter and Paul.

J.I. Packer became an international figure through scores of pamphlets and books, especially his 1973 bestseller, Knowing God. Packer’s institutional engagement is less famous than his books but arguably even more influential.

Though not written for Anglican clergy in particular, the book provides pastors generally the kind of patristic foundation our own tradition assumes. Ford and Wilhite write to pastors as pastors, applying the teaching and lives of major Fathers of the ancient church to the pastoral needs of today.

John the Baptist, in his wonderful birth, stands as an icon of life. In fact, the Church liturgically remembers the earthly birth—rather than death—of only three people: the Virgin Mary, Our Lord himself, and John.

It is still hard going in this early stage of Pentecost Year A. Through the collect and readings assigned for Proper 8A, the church calls for worship, yielding faith in the face of opposition, even judgment of end-time proportions.  The assigned Gospel reading, Matthew 10:34-42, brings us to the third and final section of Jesus’…

HarperOne, 2026. 368 pp. Most people today imagine that the point of Christianity is ‘to go to heaven when you die.’ That’s what most believers believe. It’s what most unbelievers unbelieve. . . They are all wrong. So begins N. T. Wright in his new…
