    REC Clericus in Arizona

    Our recent Reformed Episcopal Diocese of Mid-America Western Deanery Clericus event was held from February 21-23 at Christ Anglican Church (Anglican Province of Christ the King) in Cave Creek / Carefree, Arizona.

    A highlight of the Clericus was the insightful teachings delivered by our own deanery’s priest, the Rev. Dr. Greg Peters. As the Rector of Anglican Church of the Epiphany (REC) in La Mirada, California, and a professor at Biola University, Dr. Peters brought a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to the table. His four sessions on “Anglican Spirituality...

    CSI continues to Grow in San Francisco Bay Area

    In the heart of Los Altos, amidst the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley, is my parish St. Paul’s Anglican Church. Here we continue to forge bonds with the Church of South India (CSI) through our mission church plant.

    One of the most significant milestones in this journey has been the establishment of a new mission, where members of the CSI community gather to worship on Saturdays.

    I’ve had the privilege of preaching and celebrating Holy Communion for our CSI brothers and sisters, fostering a sense of unity and mutual respect. It’s...

    “No salvation outside the Church” say Calvin, Luther, and Church Fathers

    Calvin: “The Visible Church as Mother of Believers But because it is now our intention to discuss the visible church, let us learn even from the simple title “mother” how useful, indeed how necessary, it is that we should know her. For there is no other way to enter into life unless this mother conceive us in her womb, give us birth, nourish us at her breast, and lastly, unless she keep us under her care and guidance until, putting off mortal flesh, we become like the angels [Matthew 22:30]....

    Working through Ch. 14 of The Lord’s Service and the Ecclesiology of Ministers. As Anglicans, we disagree with Meyer’s presbyterian form of government. Here’s a our video from our study at Saint Paul’s Anglican Church.

    Priesthood of All Believers – Flexible Leadership

    I delivered a set of lectures on the Book of Hebrews at the 2023 West Coast Chinese Christian Conference (WCCCC) aboard a Carnival cruise ship on a 4-day trip from Long Beach to Ensenada, Mexico.

    I’ve posted the audio I recorded on my phone on our Church’s SermonAudio Page (Saint Paul’s) for the lecture I titled, “Priesthood of All Believers – Flexible Leadership.”

    Introduction

    We are all priests, but the type of priest we are is best codified in the phrase of the Reformation known as the “priesthood of all believers.”...

    Reciprocated love in Narcissus

    “…for in the mirroring surface of the water he saw the handsomest face he had ever seen.” (D’Aulaire, 1962, p. 95)

    The well-known Greek tragedy of Narcissus occupies a significant position in contemporary psychological literature, primarily because of its association with the pathological manifestation of self-importance linked to the name. The myth unfolds with the tragic story of Echo, a nymph who not only serves as a tangible character in the narrative but also functions as a “mythological cosmogony,” providing an explanation for the reverberation of sound wave phenomena....
