Message from Marian L, St. Catharines ON

I would like to see the Anglican Church broaden its shoulders to embrace not only the rest of the ( transformed) Anglican communion, but also all those of other faiths. We all  must face the certainty  that God cannot be claimed by any church or religion as its own. If we do not look beyond our own  altar and steeple, we will lose the opportunity to save the Anglican Church and more important to create the kingdom on earth that Christ talked about.

Heads up those of you in power!  Movement has already begun in the pews.

    January 25 is memorialized in the Book of Common Prayer as “The Conversion of st. Paul. He held to Judaism. At least six other days in the year honour missonaries, who by definition seek to have people change their faith to Christianity. The prayers at midday are all about inviting God to bring people of other faiths into a belief in Jesus Christ as Saviour. The BCP has a prayer [pg 41] For the Conversion of the Jews.

    O GOD, who didst choose Israel to be thine inheritance: Look, we beseech thee, upon thine ancient people; open their hearts that they may see and confess the Lord Jesus to be thy Son and their true Messiah, and, believing, they may have life through his Name. Take away all pride and prejudice in us that may hinder their understanding of the Gospel, and hasten the time when all Israel shall be saved; through the merits of the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
