Fr. Orthohippo here
I’m a retired Anglican (Missionary Society of St. John, Forward in Faith – North America)priest and often sit in a side pew. Sometimes I hear or see things which are noteworthy and/or interesting such as this Samaritan synogogue. The header photo was taken by The River Avon in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. I pass them along and hope you enjoy them and will comment. I read all comments and put most of them on the blog. I really appreciate comments and any insights you may have.
A present day Samaritan village. Yes, the samaritans of the Bible.

Right on!This anglolutheran thinks that christians should major in the majors. The love of Jesus Christ, He-who-will-not-be-named-in-the-media. Rememberwhat St.Francis said, “Always be prepared to share the gospel. If necessary, use words.”

The words of St. Francis you quote are often the most ignored evangelism instructions we have.

I wish there had never been a schism.

The schism is a view into the action of sin. It is never pretty.
