My Podcast Homily for Third Sunday in Advent was posted on 12/13/24 and is linked from the Archives column at the right side of the page. The comments include observations about the Collect, which was written for the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, replacing Archbishop Cranmer’s original collect; the Epistle (1 Corinthians 4:1-4) with St. Paul’s thoughts on the subjects of stewardship and “mysteries); and the Gospel lesson (Matthew 11:2-10), which is Matthew’s account of John the Baptist’s to inquire of Jesus if he was “the coming one.” The subject is discussed in Chapter 11, The Gospel of Matthew: Annotated & Illustrated, which is available through my Amazon Author Central page. Additional information is found on the AIC Bookstore page. The Homily for Advent 3 is linked from the Podcast Homilies page. Like all my homilies in Advent there is a theme phrase. this time being Rejoice in the Love of God. The Third Sunday in Advent is also discussed and illustrated in the AIC Video series, Advent: the Season of Penitence & Preparation in Episode Two of the series.
I have been busy this month updating my inventory (in Excel format) of all of the images which have been used in Blog entries. These go back to the first entry, for August 31, 2014, when I moved the AIC web site to WordPress. I have found and corrected many spelling and other errors in the image credits. Readers of the Blog should be aware that all the older videos (hosted on You Tube) were moved to our new Vimeo site later in 2014. Should an older video link fail, please go to entry of the same title in the Digital Library or Podcast Archive entries, links to which are found at the top and bottom of all pages. These include the Digital Library (of videos) — with their MP3 soundtracks located on the Podcast Archive page. MP3/Audio Podcasts for Holy Communion services are linked from the Podcast Homilies page. The MP3/Audio soundtracks for the Morning Prayer series created in 2022 and 2023 are linked from the Podcast Homilies-Morning Prayer page. Links to these pages are located at the top and bottom of each page. All books in the AIC Bookstore (and listed on that page) are print-on-demand and sold through my Amazon Author Central page, with all royalties contributed to the AIC. Everything else on this site is free. All pages are consistent with the WATCH-LISTEN-READ initiative created about five years ago, based upon people’s different learning preferences.
The Beliefs of the Anglican Church was created for use in the Christian education of those who desire to become Anglicans, whether youths or adults. The text provides answers to questions raised in traditional Anglican catechisms. The volume also includes two catechisms, one intended for young people with family connections to Anglican worship and the second for adults who come from non-Anglican backgrounds, especially those with no prior doctrinal education.
The book is printed in 144 pages (eight in the Preface and 136 in the body text. The text is divided into Creeds (Nicene & Apostles), Scripture (Old Testament/ Old Testament Apocrypha used in the Prayer Book lectionary); The Commandments & the Summary of the Law; The Lord’s Prayer; the Seven Sacraments; Doctrine (with sections on Church/Grace/Faith/Sanctification/Mercy/Fear of the Lord/Sin/Prayer; plus the Anglican Church Calendar and a primer on the Church Building and on Church Etiquette. The volume is printed with a color cover and text in black and white on 144 pages (eight in the Preface & 136 the balance of the text). There is a summary and black and white image for each of the other 21 volumes available in the AIC Bookstore.
Again, thank you for your interest and support. Glory be to God for all things! Amen!
