Wherefore these persons do us the greater wrong ... [who say] that we allow every man to be a priest, to be a teacher, and to be an interpreter of the Scriptures.
John Jewel, The Apology of the Church of England.
Two fascinating & rather unique publications of the Anglo-Catholic History Society have just arrived at the @PuseyHouse Library, one on boxing (a first for us!) and another on GM Hopkins.
Today, 11 November, many across the Anglican Communion mark a day of remembrance.
It is a day to remember those who lost their lives in war and conflict, and all whose lives have been forever changed by violence, suffering and loss. It is also a time to hold in prayer those who mourn loved ones, those who carry the physical and emotional wounds of war and communities still living amid conflict and displacement.
Remembering the sacrifices of the past, we pray for a world shaped by peace, justice and reconciliation.
Let us pray:
God of peace, comfort those who grieve, bring healing to those who suffer and guide the nations of the world towards understanding, compassion and lasting peace. Give those with influence the wisdom learned from the struggles of past generations and the vision to pursue harmony.
Amen.
