Thanksgiving Day 2023 - Presiding Bishop Special Message



Please take the time to listen to this very short presentation from Bishop Jerry Ogles, Presiding Bishop of the Anglican Orthodox Communion Worldwide and Presiding Bishop of the Anglican Orthodox Church of the United States of America.

It's a very short presentation, but it will give you a lot to think about. As we come up on this Thanksgiving Day, we all need to reflect on precisely to whom we are giving things and for what.

  A ND  when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.  24  And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.  25  And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.  26  And he saith unto them , Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith ? Then he arose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.  27  But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!  (M atthew 8:23-27 )   Please view this presentation of the below hymn by Gracias Choir:    https://youtu.be/WlVqAPT9YR4?si=ZDZ5bRJOXApwSVs5               This powerful and moving hymn is the composition of Mary E.

Sermon - Rev Hap Arnold Church of the Faithful Centurion - Descanso, California At this Christmastide, we have been concentrating on the joy of the Christ’s coming to earth; rightly so!  But, in our liturgical calendar, the days go on.  Right after Christmas, we celebrate Boxing Day in the Anglican tradition, but more than that 26 December brings us the recollection of Saint Steven Deacon and Martyr; he was killed under the direction of Saul of Tarsus, the same person who with God’s Grace and Help became Saint Paul.  The following day, 27 December, recalls Saint John, the longest lived of the Apostles whose writing gives so much to the theology of the New Testament.  That brings us to today, 28 December, when we recall The Holy Innocents, whose deaths are connected with Jesus’ birth.    An odd combination of days and thoughts for those who do not choose to think or delve deeply into a subject upon which their eternal ...
