I read a great blog post a little while back on the late Dr. Robert Webber. Webber was hugely influential on my own personal journey to Anglicanism. His background was in Bible Church Fundamentalism (he went to Bob Jones University). He became a professor at Wheaton College and while there, became an Anglican in the [...]

Little did I know back in December of 1987 what I was getting myself into when I volunteered to go Recon. I had joined the Marine Corps with a guaranteed infantry contract. All I wanted to be was a rifleman. I got infantry, but the Corps made me a mortarman instead! So after a year [...]

“The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch…for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith” (Acts 11:22-24 ESV). Today is the Feast of St. Barnabas. As a Christian, I don’t think you could ask for a better description [...]

I was privileged to get my picture taken with JI Packer at the AMiA Winter Conference a couple of months ago. He even printed his name in my ESV Bible (he wouldn’t sign it as if he had written it!). The good Rev. Dr. Packer has a new book out that he wrote with another [...]

A term that has been fairly hot in the evangelical world is “Missional Church.” Now you may be asking yourself, “what is a missional church?” Now that’s a great question and there a lot of people talking about what it means, or doesn’t mean. We haven’t used the exact term “missional church” a lot here [...]

It’s hard to believe St. George’s Anglican Community has been worshipping on Sunday nights for 2 years. On one hand it seems as if we just started yesterday, and on the other hand, it seems as if we’ve been together for much longer. It’s funny how life seems to be like that in so many [...]

About 10 years ago, I was wrestling with questions about the Church and Christianity (and still am to a lesser extent!). Not from a point of doubting, but more from a theological angle. I had become disillusioned with what I perceived as too much individualism, consumerism and shallowness in modern, American Christianity. Quite frankly, I was asking questions [...]

Today is the Feast of St. Andrew. The Apostle Andrew was actually the first disciple of Jesus. He had been a disciple of John the Baptist and witnessed Jesus’ baptism. He took seriously John’s words that Jesus was the One. So left John, told his brother Peter, and followed Jesus instead. He would one day [...]

I have spent the past several months preaching through the wonderful book of Colossians. I know that it has been a positive experience in my own life, and I believe in the life of our community as well. The last two Sundays, I covered Colossians 3:18-19. Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in [...]

I was passed on this video by a friend. It is a really well done lesson on on the ins and outs of Anglican Liturgy. It was made by The Rev. Eric Dudley who is an Anglican Priest in Florida. If you’ve ever had questions about why we wear vestments (robes)? Why we cross ourselves [...]
