Prayers of the People

For Brook, Heather, Paige, and Roger who all need our prayers.


I have the joy on occasion to attend an evangelical Anglican church. One of the things I deeply appreciate in their services is the emphasis on prayer. Prayers of the people, prayers of confession and prayers of praise. In many ways we have lost the emphasis on prayer in many of our evangelical churches.

Persecution is good for the health of the church.

Evangelicals and the environment

I remember the first "earth day" in the seventies and how the Christians in my circles mocked the idea.
