We celebrate the Feast of St. James of Jerusalem on October 23rd. As we commemorate James, the brother of Jesus, let’s remember that James had to repent and believe before he could rediscover his brotherhood with Jesus. In other words, a shared set of parents was not enough to sustain the fraternity between James and Jesus. And so it is with us. anglicancompass.com/james-th…

Becoming Anglican has not extinguished my evangelical fire; rather, it has sharpened those convictions while anchoring me in the ancient catholicity that knits us together with saints across the ages. More than anything, the Anglican way offered a sanctuary of rest and healing after a season of burnout—a long spiritual winter when my zeal and service outran my spiritual formation and maturity. anglicancompass.com/a-weary-…

When I first read Ignatius’ letters, I was captivated by a man who loved Christ more than anything. As someone who had gone through what we now call deconstruction and longed to reconstruct my faith, I found in him someone worth emulating. His desire for unity under the bishop, his insistence on the Church’s Christological realities, and his yearning to suffer for Jesus were intoxicating. He didn’t see Christianity as a mere way of thinking; it was indeed a way of dying. anglicancompass.com/ignatius…

On October 16, 1555, in Oxford, England, Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley, bishops in the English Church, died as martyrs. Bound back-to-back, they were burned at the stake. Just before Latimer died, tradition tells us he offered one last word of encouragement—words that have echoed through history and come to us again in the recollection of their lives: “We shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.” anglicancompass.com/a-burnin…

The Great Commission, Christ sending out his followers to make believers of all nations, is something we are distinctly called to as Christians. Stephen Noll walks us through the history of Anglicans and confronts the hesitancy some may have with missions today:

St. Thérèse of Lisieux is celebrated by the Catholic Church on October 1st. Known for her piety and obedience to God, even when it meant disagreeing with and pushing back against church leadership. Anne Chester helps us see how St. Thérèse is an example for us today: anglicancompass.com/learning…

"The Church celebrates the Feast of Holy Michael and All Angels on September 29th! We also know this feast as Michaelmas (pronounced mik-uhl-mus), a shortening of “Michael’s mass.” It is the special day set aside by the church to celebrate Michael, the captain of the heavenly host, and all other angels."
