Sermons
A large collection of extracts from classic sources, ranging from the Church Fathers through to the Divines of the 17th and 18th centuries, and some more recent authors too.
WE and our people — thanks be to God — follow no novel and strange religion,
but that very religion which is ordained by Christ, sanctioned by the primitive and Catholic Church and approved by the
consistent mind and voice of the most early Fathers."
Queen Elizabeth I, r. 1558-1603

so needful to be spoken of and daily to be called upon as hearty, zealous, and devout prayer.

A Catechism
The basics of the Christian faith in the Anglican tradition, designed for young children, but suitable for all. Accompanied by a commentary in prayers by Bishop Thomas Ken (1637-1711).
SINCE, O my God, I can of myself neither
know nor love Thee: since I cannot by my own strength do "those things Thou requirest,
nor walk in Thy commandments, nor serve Thee," nor think so much as one good thought;
whither can I fly, but only to Thy free and unbounded love? Thou art my hope, my help,
and my salvation; Thou only canst teach and enable me to know and to love Thy own goodness.
Bishop Thomas Ken (1637-1711)
