This month was part 1 meditation on the
"Christian Living in a Non-Christian World"
•St. Paul gives us an example on how to approach unbelievers. We discussed the fact he never judges them.
•When Paul calls out sin and demands a change of heart is when he is speaking to believers.
•This does not mean that he approves of the way that unbelievers live. In his letter to the Romans, we learn that he does not condemn them for the way they live because they don’t know Jesus. He calls out Christians who believe because they know better. When we are baptized, we die to our old life and are raised in a new one. This means we cast off our old way of living. (Ephesians)

“Be imitators of God, as beloved children.”

“Look carefully how [we] walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil."
This month was a meditation and a thought-provoking discussion on...
Why do we say the Creed every day? What does it mean to be a Creedal Church?
What is the difference between a creedal church and a confessional (protestant) church?

This month was a meditation on the first two words of the Creed
"I BELIEVE"
Belief and Faith. Are they the same?
"Believe" is to accept as true or real and to credit with veracity.
Faith is more than an unshakeable belief. Faith requires action.

Beloved Brothers,
It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Archbishop Louis Falk died early this morning in Des Moine, Iowa. He had been sick for some time and in the hospital. Father Brad Johnson administered extreme unction and offered prayers for the departure of the soul at his bedside.
Archbishop Ruben Rodriguez died last week in Guatemala.
Rest eternal grant unto them O Lord and may light perpetual shine upon them.
Bishop William Bower
Archbishop Falk
The Saint Paul Mission Society (SPMS) is once again preparing to serve in a time of great need. Based on our experience, we are now receiving donations from faithful individuals and churches throughout the Anglican Diocese of the Eastern United States (ADEUS) to support Disaster Relief for the people of Texas affected by severe flooding.
In this early stage of response, donations are being directed to the Kerr County Volunteer Fire Department, which is currently acting as the boots-on-the-ground force managing local rescue and relief efforts. This ensures your support immediately helps those in crisis.
As the situation evolves, we are committed to responsibly redirecting funds to whichever organization or local entity takes primary leadership in coordinating the ongoing relief and recovery operations.
If you would like to make a contribution to the relief efforts:
Your generosity allows us to move swiftly and faithfully to support our neighbors in need. Please continue to hold the affected families, first responders, and volunteers in your prayers.
“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”
— Galatians 6:2
