This week I’ve prepared a video which gives viewers a short account of the founding of and mission of the Anglican Internet Church, plus a preview of the current 12-book catalog. The theme of the show is embedded into the title graphic: “tools for increasing your knowledge.” There are 25 slides. Running time is just over 26 minutes. The video is available on our You Tube channel and also through a link on the Home page at our newly-redesigned Web Site. The sound track is also available as a Podcast.

I’ve resumed work on our newest video and podcast series, The Lives of the Saints – Second Series. The programs celebrate 35 Eastern and Western Church saints not given Holy Days in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Like the First Series, these programs grew out of a series of Tuesday evening homilies at my former parish. These “pen portraits” of the saints were intended to help parishioners to a better, fuller understanding of both the lives and death of the saints and their influence on the development of the Church Universal over the generations. The series is not just about the gory details of martyrdom but also the contributions of the saints to theology, music and liturgy.

Nicene Creed – Episode Four

IN working out the content for the Nicene Creed video series I ran into a problem with the length of the episodes. The revised format shows up in Episode Four, released today as the first of three episodes focused on the Creed’s descriptions of Jesus Christ. Here’s the plan for all three: Continue reading “Nicene Creed – Episode Four” →

The Nicene Creed – Episode Two

July 9, 2016 Anglican Internet ChurchLeave a comment

I’ve struggled for two weeks trying to finish Episode Two in The Nicene Creed. The original version ran 34 minutes and the recording I made of the sound file had audible sound only for the first 3 minutes. Thus having been forced to try again, I made significant changes, reducing the length to just over 14 minutes. The finished version is focused only on the first part of the first paragraph, including “I believe” and running through “Maker of Heaven and Earth.” In Episode Three I will finish the first paragraph with a discussion of the last phrase in the first paragraph: “And of all things, visible and invisible.”

Now that I’ve finished putting together the AIC Bookstore catalogue, which now includes 12 NiceneCreed-Open-72dpi publications (counting the St. Chrysostom Hymnal in 2 volumes), I’m able to turn my attention to work on the video series on The Nicene Creed. (For the full bookstore catalogue, visit our Virtual Bookstore: https://www.amazon.com/author/ronald-e-shibley).
The Nicene Creed series will provide the historical context for the calling of the Council of Nicea (325 A.D.), which was the first of the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the Church Universal. Continue reading “Nicene Creed – Episode One” →

St. Chrysostom Hymnal – Vol. 2

June 16, 2016October 1, 2016 Anglican Internet ChurchLeave a comment

Hymnal-Cover-Vol2 It’s mid-June and, because of two technical issues (file size and number of pages), I’ve had to revise the 4th Edition of the St. Chrysostom Hymnal, splitting it into two volumes. The change will make handling the volumes more convenient for users. A 500+ pages paperback book would have been a little awkward to handle. Continue reading “St. Chrysostom Hymnal – Vol. 2” →

The Nicene Creed – Our Symbol of Faith

NiceneCreed-Open-72dpi This week I came down with a head cold on Sunday night, followed by sinus problems, serious rounds of sneezing, and the inevitable sore throat the following morning. No videos could be recorded this week with me sounding like a very sick frog. Unable to do much else, I worked on posting all the changes to the AIC Virtual Bookstore version of Revelation: An Idealist Interpretation. It will have over 200 pages, 52 illustrations, and will be available in both paperback and Kindle versions some time in March. Continue reading “The Nicene Creed – Our Symbol of Faith” →
