(1710 – 1787)
Robert Lowth was born on 27 November in 1710 in Hamsphire, England. Lowth is known for his studies of English grammar, religious poetic structures, and imagery in Shakespearean works. He received his early education at Winchester College, an all-boys boarding school. He later studied at the University of Oxford, where he would obtain his Bachelor of Arts, his Master of Arts and become a Professor of Poetry in 1741.
While Lowth was studying at Oxford, he was associated with the Anglican Church and was eventually named vicar of Ovington, Hampshire. This position would foreshadow his success in the Church. Lowth became the archdeacon of Winchester in 1750, and then rector of East Woodhay in 1753, after resigning as Professor at Oxford the preceding year. In 1766, Lowth became the Bishop of St. David’s and was quickly appointed Bishop of Oxford. He kept this position for eleven years, until he was chosen to become the Bishop of London.
Gustavus Vassa wrote to Robert Lowth in 1787, while he was the Bishop of London. Vassa was enacted by his then-employer, Matthias McNamara (year to year), to write to Lowth in hopes of becoming ordained to serve as a missionary in Africa. This letter is significant as it is one of the first times Vassa publicly declared himself to be African and born in Africa. He writes: “That your memorialist is a native of Africa and has knowledge of the manners and custom o the inhabitants of that country. […] That your memorialist is desirous of returning to Africa as missionary, if encouraged by your Lordship, in hopes of being able to prevail upon his countrymen to become Christians.” McNamara also wrote a letter of reference for Vassa addressed to Lowth. However, Lowth declined to ordain Vassa, likely because of McNamara’s unsavory political reputation.
Apart from his religious duties, Lowth received a Doctor of Divinity in 1754 for his work in Hebrew poetry. He had many of his sermons published and even wrote book about William Wykeham, a 15th century Bishop, titled “Life of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester.” His last work was published in 1787, titled “Isaiah: A new Translation with Preliminary Dissertation, and Notes, Critical, Philological, and Explanatory.” This work is celebrated for being the best existing translation of the prophecy of Isaiah. Robert Lowth died on November 3rd, 1787.
Vassa on Robert Lowth in The Interesting Narrative 9th.ed.
However, the Governor, understanding that I was of a religious turn, wished to know what religion I was of; I told him I was a protestant of the church of England, agreeable to the thirty-nine articles of that church; and that whomsoever I found to preach according to that doctrine, those I would hear. A few days after this, we had some more discourse on the same subject; when he said he would, if I chose, as he thought I might be of service in converting my countrymen to the Gospel-faith, get me sent out as a missionary to Africa. I at first refused going, and told him how I had been served on a like occasion by some white people the last voyage I went to Jamaica, when I attempted, (if it were the will of God) to be the means of converting the Indian prince; and said I supposed they would serve me worse than Alexander the coppersmith did St. if I should attempt to go amongst them in Africa. He told me not to fear, for he would apply to the Bishop of London to get me ordained. On these terms I consented to the Governor’s proposal to go to Africa, in hope of doing good, if possible, amongst my countrymen; so, in order to have me sent out properly, we immediately wrote the following letters to the late Bishop of London:
To The Right Reverend Father in God, ROBERT, Lord Bishop of London.
THE MEMORIAL OF GUSTAVUS VASSA, SHEWETH,
THAT your memorialist is a native of Africa, and has a knowledge of the manners and customs of the inhabitants of that country. That your memorialist has resided in different parts of Europe for twenty-two years last past, and embraced the Christian faith in the year 1759. That your memorialist is desirous of returning to Africa as a missionary, if encouraged by your Lordship, in hopes of being able to prevail upon his countrymen to become Christians; and your memorialist is the more induced to undertake the same, from the success that has attended the like undertakings when encouraged by the Portuguese through their different settlements on the coast of Africa, and also by the Dutch; both governments encouraged the blacks, who by their education are qualified to undertake the same, and are found more proper than European clergymen, unacquainted with the language and customs of the country. Your memorialist’s only motive for soliciting the office of a missionary is, that he may be a means, under God, of reforming his countrymen and persuading them to embrace the Christian religion. Therefore your memorialist humbly prays your Lordship’s encouragement and support in the undertaking.
(Pg. 220- 222)
With these letters I waited on the Bishop, by the Governor’s desire, and presented them to his Lordship. He received me with much condescension and politeness; but, from some certain scruples of delicacy, and saying the Bishops were not of opinion in sending a new missionary to Africa, he declined to ordain me. My sole motive for thus dwelling on this transaction, or inserting these papers, is the opinion which gentlemen of sense and education, who are acquainted with Africa, entertain of the probability of converting the inhabitants of it to the faith of Jesus Christ, if the attempt were countenanced by the legislature.
It is righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. - Destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity - and the wicked shall perish by their own wickedness. - May the worthy Lord Bishop of London be blessed for his pathetic and humane sermon on behalf of the Africans, and all the benevolent gentlemen who are engaged in the laudable attempt to abolish Slavery, and thereby prevent many savage barbarities from being daily committed by the enslavers of men, to whom the Lord has pronounced wrath, anguish, and tribulation, &. to the sons of Britain first (as having the Gospel preached amongst them) and also to the nations-.
(Pg. 334-335, 6 – Appendix E)
The letter “To the Reader” appears in eds. 5-9.
In ed. 4 only, immediately following the title page, is “TO THE MOST REVEREND FATHER IN GOD, ROBERT, Lord Archbishop of Dublin, &c. This edition of my Narrative is humbly Inscribed (as a small Token of my Gratitude for his unequalled Beneficence) BY HIS GRACE’S MOST OBLIGED, AND MOST OBEDIENT, HUMBLE SERVANT, GUS-TAVUS VASSA. Dublin, 30th Max 1791.” (Note 1, pg. 237)

A last conversation between brothers
By ways remote and distant waters sped,
Brother, to thy sad grave-side am I come,
That I may give the last gifts to the dead
And vainly parley with thine ashes dumb;
Since she who now bestows and now denies
Hath taken thee, hapless brother, from mine eyes,
But lo! These gifts, the heirlooms of past years,
Are made sad things to grace thy coffin shell,
Take them, all drenched with a brother’s tears,
And brother, for all time, hail and farewell.
Dark is the day and dark is the mind. Dark is the future and without leaders we stand blind. Here I sit on a lonely graveside staring through the rain that falls on my brothers grave. Gone is the sad, pale boy that so dearly want to follow his older brother out into the woods. Gone is the shy, young man who stared at the painted and masked girls on Beltaine, even though his chaplain tried to beat into him that it was a sin. Gone is the squire who tried pleasing everybody even at the cost of himself. Gone is the knight who found his courage and became one of the bravest men that walked this earth. Gone is the lord with dreams of a grand roman heritage for his descendants. Gone is my brother and my dearest friend!
I miss you so much my little brother, my baby brother. I tried as best as I could to keep you safe from the evils of this world. I promised mother that I would. Our father made no such request but I think he knew what awaited both you and me the day we were sent off to become squires. I think he knew that we would in all likelihood die on a battlefield somewhere just like our fathers before us. And now you rest here beside your father and mother and brothers. I hope that you are at peace no matter where you have ended up. I dearly hope that your Saint Alban has seen you safe to a good afterlife whether it be in the land of the young or up in the heavens. If he hasn’t, him and I will have words when it is my time to go, and he will have to talk fast.
All my close kin are now dead. In a way I am glad that mother died last year, I don’t think her heart would have borne it if she had to put you in a grave while she still lived. I wouldn’t have been able to explain how we could win the day at St Albans with you at the helm carrying us through one of the harshest battles I have ever witnessed, yet we lost at the end of the day because we didn’t expect the treachery of the saxons even though they have proven what they are capable of again and again.
If I still had my favor from Merlin I would have called him then and there and I would have asked him to spare you above all others. Before Kings, dukes, counts and barons. I would have gladly ignored them all even if it was in my power to spare them if it had meant that I could save you.
I fear that grief would have struck me mad if it were not for Brangwen’s soft voice telling me to grieve and let it all out. She tells me that it is what I must do and then I must don my blade once again and I must be strong for Salisbury now stands weak and excepting Lord Amig and Sir Maelgwyn, no strong men remain in the service of our beloved homeland.
Brangwen is wise in a way that is beyond many other, be they lords or commoners. She is right. I will leave my tears here in your keeping brother, that and a part of my heart. Maybe one day I will come back and retrieve them. Remember me in another life beloved brother for I will not see you again in this one.


Patristic Sermons in the Middle Ages
The dissemination, manipulation and interpretation of late-antique sermons in the medieval Latin West
PASSIM will study the medieval reception of the Latin sermons preached by the Early Church Fathers, using a digital network of manuscripts.
The sermons of Augustine, Gregory the Great and other patristic preachers were transmitted throughout medieval Europe in the form of sermon collections, preserved in thousands of manuscripts. Nearly every manuscript contains a new combination of sermons, attesting to a continuous, widespread engagement with the authorities of the Early Church. The dynamic tradition of reorganising and rewriting the patristic heritage is largely overlooked by scholars of medieval religious practices, who concentrate on medieval preachers, and by scholars of Early Christianity, whose focus is the patristic context.
Medieval collections of patristic sermons were part of the liturgical life of the monastery, but also of an intellectual tradition. They offer unique insights into medieval attitudes toward authority, techniques of appropriation, church organisation, monastic networks and knowledge exchange. PASSIM will execute the first large-scale analysis of the formation and spread of patristic sermon collections in medieval Europe. The project will develop a digital network of manuscripts, using well-tried principles from the field of textual criticism. Building on this network, PASSIM will pursue three lines of inquiry: the customizing of standard liturgical collections as indicative of individual purposes and contexts, the impact of transmission on the popularity of patristic sermons, and pseudo-epigraphic sermons as revelatory of medieval perceptions of the Church Fathers.
PASSIM will bridge two disciplinary divides, between patristic and medieval sermon studies and between textual criticism and reception studies. Developing an interdisciplinary methodology with a wide applicability in the study of intellectual history, this project will introduce patristic preaching as a vibrant strand in the tapestry of the medieval religious tradition.
This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No ERC-2018-stg 802210.
On the trail of Alanus of Farfa
Tracing the formation of Augustine’s authority in medieval sermon collections for the liturgy
Augustine of Hippo (354-430) is one of the great authorities of the Early Church. His impact on western civilisation, during the Middle Ages in particular, cannot be overstated. Today, he is associated mainly with the Confessions and City of God, staples of the western canon. However, throughout the medieval period, his most widely disseminated works were his sermons.
This project will investigate the development of Augustine’s authority and his formative role in medieval culture, not through the lens of the grand treatises that were admired by the intellectual elite, but through an analysis of the circulation, manipulation, and appropriation of his sermons, which were copied in hundreds of medieval manuscripts and read daily as part of the liturgy.
The anchor point will be the influential 8th-century sermon collection of Alanus of Farfa. Tracing its presence as part of a transnational European network of manuscripts, the project will investigate how the Augustinian nucleus in Alanus’ collection was customized in liturgical sermon collections from the 8th to the 15th century. This investigation will follow a key-thread in the tapestry of the medieval religious tradition, showing how ever-changing purposes and contexts determine the selection, alteration, and interpretation of the Augustinian heritage.
Overturning the traditional notion that medieval adaptations are a regrettable contamination of the antique original, this project will demonstrate that the dynamic medieval engagement with the authorities of Late Antiquity is the key to their perception then and now.
This project has received funding from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) under the Innovational Research Incentives Scheme: VENI, under grant number 016.Veni.195.127.


|St John the Baptist Church, Pinner, Middlesex|
St John the Baptist Church at the head of the High Street in Pinner has more than its share of curiosities.
|Looking up the High Street, past the Queens Head pub to the church|
First off, a favourite for me, a New Zealand connection. There is a memorial window in the church to the son and grandson of a Pinner resident: both died in the First World War. The grandson Edward A Hogg, served with the NZ Expeditionary Forces and fell at Bapaume in the last months of the war.
|Edward A Hogg died 1918|
The Pinner church includes a small graveyard: there is another bigger one just around the corner: Paines Lane, which I have written about before. The most unusual tomb has what looks like a coffin raised at least six feet above ground... but apparently the body is in the ground at the conventional six feet below.

The concept of the ‘Throne of St. Thomas’ is based on the words of our Lord Himself. In St. Mathew 19:28 it is written that ‘Jesus said to them: Amen, I say to you, you who have followed me, when the Son of Man is seated on the throne of his glory in the rebirth, you yourselves shall also sit upon twelve thrones ruling the twelve tribes of Israel’’. In Luke 22:28 our Lord says to the twelve “You are those who have continued with me in trials. As my father appointed a Kingdom for me, so do I appoint for you that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel”.
From these two passages it is quite clear that our Lord promised twelve thrones to the twelve apostles and none of them was deprived of having the authority. Even Judas Iscariot was promised a throne, but he fell from his honour and another inherited his place. If the Twelve have thrones, then there can be no doubt at all that St. Thomas the Apostle had also a throne.
The word ‘throne’ is derived from the Greek word ‘Thronos’ and the Syriac equivalent is ‘kursyo’. In Hebrew it is ‘kisse’. The word primarily means ‘the seat of authority of a king or a prince or a judge. Both in Old Testament and in New Testament the word throne is referred to the seat of authority (cf. 1 kings 22:19; Issah 6:1; Sam 4:1-13 etc.). In Revelation 4:2 we see a throne in heaven which is the seat of God and in 4:4 we see twenty-four other thrones set around the throne of God. 24 elders were seated on the 24 thrones (4:4), clad in white garments and with a golden crown on the head of each. The tradition of the Church says that the 24 elders are the 12 tribal patriarchs of the Old Testament and the 12 Apostles of the New Testament (Rev. 11:6). Thus by the word ‘throne’ it means the ‘authority proceeds from God bestowed up on disciples.
The following assumptions can be drawn from the analysis of the above biblical passages: The throne is the seat and symbol of authority and is primarily applied to the highest of all authorities from whom every authority comes, i.e., the authority of God and therefore the Throne of God. In the Scriptural accounts the throne of God is shared by Jesus Christ who sits at the right hand of God the Father. He is ruler and the judge.
Jesus Christ shares his throne with others. In the book Revelation 24 elders share it with him. Jesus promises twelve thrones to the twelve apostles. There is no indication in the Bible that the authority is exclusively for any one of the disciples. It is a common heritage and privilege. In this matter of throne, there is no difference between the authority vested on St. Peter and St. Thomas. In the tradition of the Church also we do not hear very much of the thrones of particular apostles; rather apostolic thrones are shared by all the bishops. Every bishop succeeds to the Apostolic thrones of the whole college of Apostles.
During the course of the time, the word ‘throne’ gradually gave place to other Greek word for the seat of authority ‘kathedra’. It is used in Mathew 23:2 for the seat of Moses or the place of the teaching authority of the Mosaic Law. The word ‘Cathedral’ comes from ‘kathedra’ which in Christian use means a bishop’s chair. A cathedral is not simply a large church, but a church which has the bishop’s throne in it as s symbol of authority or ‘throne’. Every bishop possesses the authority given by the Church and for the Church. No bishop has any authority independent of the Church; it is the authority of the Church that they exercise in the Church.
(The above article is prepared by H.G. Dr. Zachariah mar Aprem based on a paper submitted by Late Lamented Metropolitan Dr. Paulose Mar Gregorios to the Holy Episcopal Synod in 1974)
The Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church was founded by St. Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, who came to India in A.D. 52. At least from the fourth century, the Indian Church entered into a close relationship with the Persian or East Syrian Church. From the Persians, the Indians inherited The East Syrian language and liturgies, and gradually came to be known as Syrian Christians. In the sixteenth century Roman Catholic missionaries came to Kerala. They tried to unite the Syrian Christians to the Roman Catholic Church and this led to a split in the community. Those who accepted Roman Catholicism are the present Syro-Malabar Catholics. Later, Western Protestant missionaries came to Kerala and worked among The Syrian Christians. This also created certain divisions in the community. In the seventeenth century, the Church came in to relationship with the Antiochene Church, which again caused splits. As a result of this relationship, the Church received West Syrian liturgies and practices. The Church entered into a new phase of its history by the establishment of the Catholicate in 1912.
At present, the Church is using the West Syrian liturgy. The faith of the Church is that which was established by the three Ecumenical Councils of Nicea (A.D. 325), Constantinople (A.D. 381) and Ephesus (A.D. 431).
The Church is in communion with the other Oriental Orthodox Churches namely, Syriac, Alexandrian, Armenian, Eritrean and Ethiopian Orthodox Churches. The Church is in good ecumenical relationship with the Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches.
This Church now consists of about 2.5 million members, who are spread all over the world, though the majority reside in The state of Kerala in South West India. The Supreme Head of the Church and the present Catholicos is H.H. Baselios Mar Thoma Paulose II. H.H:s residence and the Head-quarters of the Church is in Kottayam in the Kerala State of the South-West India. The Church as a whole is divided into 30 ecclesial units called dioceses and each diocese is served by a bishop, administratively and spiritually.

The festival of Christmas is celebrated all over the world on 25 December. This festival is celebrated as the birthday of Jesus Christ. Santa Claus is the most crazed Christmas occasion, especially children eagerly waiting to receive gifts from Santa Claus, but do you know why Santa Claus give gifts to children and when this tradition started, So let’s know interesting facts related to Christmas Day.
History of Christmas Day
According to Christianity, for the first time around 360 AD, the birthday of Jesus Christ was celebrated in a church in Rome. But at this time the debate over the date of Jesus Christ’s birthday was continuing. After this, on the 25th of December, the birthday of Jesus Christ was declared in the fourth century. Christmas Day was officially recognized in America in the year 1836 and December 25 was declared a public holiday.
History of Santa Claus
Saint Nicholas was born on December 6 in 340 AD. According to Christian belief, every 25 December, Saint Nicholas brings gifts for children. It was here that Saint Nicholas became Santa Claus for children. It is said that his parents died in childhood. After growing up, he became a pastor and loved helping people. It is said that they used to give gifts to poor children and people at midnight so that no one could see them.
The story of the Christmas tree
The story of the Christmas tree says that decorating the Christmas tree began several thousand years ago in Northern Europe. However, at that time, the Winter Festival was celebrated by decorating a tree named Fair. Gradually, the trend of the Christmas tree grew everywhere and everyone started bringing the tree home on this occasion. According to one belief, the Christmas tree was decorated by all the gods to express happiness at the time of Jesus’ birth. According to this belief, on the occasion of Christmas, people decorate the Christmas tree with colorful lights.
Who is the secret Santa, know everything about Christmas to be celebrated on December 25
Towards the end of the year, the tune of ‘Jingle Bell Jingle Bell’ has started to be heard with the cold weather. The children are waiting for Santa because he will bring beautiful gifts for them. Today we tell you some special things related to this festival before this Christmas.
Why is Christmas celebrated?
- This festival is celebrated in the joy of the birth of Jesus Christ. There is no mention of the date of birth of Jesus Christ in the Bible, the holy book of Christians. But still, his birthday is celebrated as Christmas every year on 25 December.
When did you celebrate the first Christmas
- Christmas was celebrated for the first time in Rome in 336 BC on 25 December. A few years later, Pope Julius announced to celebrate the official Jesus Christ’s birthday on 25 December.
Start of Christmas tree
- The Christmas tree began thousands of years ago in Europe. At that time this festival was celebrated by decorating the tree. Now the Christmas tree is easily available, everyone decorates the Christmas tree with chocolates, toys, lights and presents.
Christmas gift giving and nicholas story
- Saint Nicholas is considered the real Santa. Saint Nicholas was born in Myra 280 years after the death of Lord Ishu. Saint Nicholas was orphaned as a child, due to which he had a deep faith in the Lord Jesus. Saint Nicholas grew up to be a Christian clergyman and later to become a bishop. He loved to give gifts to children and needy people. Whenever Saint Nicholas gave a gift, he always gave it at midnight because he did not like to be seen giving gifts and did not want to reveal his identity to anyone.
How is Christmas celebrated in Christian countries
- In Christian countries, this festival is celebrated with great pomp. Schools, colleges and offices get holidays before Christmas. Markets, roads and malls are decorated. Easter Eve is celebrated on 24 December and the party is held on 25 December, which lasts for 12 days.

We would be remiss to let this day pass without linking to Bill Buckley’s 1993 National Review cover story on his pilgrimage to Lourdes.
He also included reflections from his book on faith, Nearer, My God. He briefly writes about Bernadette Soubirous, a 14-year-old girl who was graced with a series of apparitions of Mary in 1858. Lourdes has become a place of great healing — and scientifically confirmed ones.
The sense of the visit is rapidly communicated. There are thousands of gurneys (voitures, they are referred to) for the malades, the all-inclusive French word for the sick — again, propelled exclusively by volunteers. Perhaps every malade harbors the hope that he or she will be cured, but it is not reasonably expected; yet somehow it seems irrelevant as larger perspectives take hold. It is a part of the common faith that prayer can effect anything.
By way of example, he then quotes from the Memorare prayer:
Remember, most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy assistance, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
He goes on to say that “incantatory hyperbole is simply a ritualized form of docility.”
The sick who travel to Lourdes are there, yes, because of the undenialbility of recorded miracles, but that isn’t what brings as many as fifty thousand people a day to Lourdes, the great majority of them healthy. The reason so many people come, many of them on their second or tenth visit, is that what is effected is a sense of reconciliation, if not well-being. Hardly miraculous, unless one chooses to use the word as most appropriate for that buoyancy experienced on viewing the great processions, sharing with almost thirty thousand people an underground Mass, being lowered for three bracing seconds into one of the baths, suddenly noting the ambient serenity. These are Christians feeling impulses of their faith, and intimations of the lady in white.
They are in Lourdes because of this palpability of the emanations that gave birth to the shrine. The spiritual tonic is felt. If it were otherwise, the pilgrims would diminish in number; would, by now, have disappeared, as at Delphos, which one visits as a museum, not a shrine. What it is that fetches them is I think quite simply stated, namely a reinforced conviction that the Lord God loves His creatures, healthy or infirm; that they — we — must understand the nature of love, which is salvific its powers; and that although we are free to attempt to divine God’s purpose, we will never succeed in doing so. The reason is that we cannot know (the manifest contradictions are too disturbing) what is the purpose behind particular phenomena and therefore must make do with only the grandest plan of God, which treats with eternal salvation. Our burden is to keep the faith: to do this (the grammar of ascent) requires the discipline of submission, some assurance that those who are stricken can, even so, be happy; and that the greatest tonic of all is divine love, which is nourished by human love, even as human love is nourished by divine love.
I got to go to Lourdes a few years ago, helping lead a pilgrimage with an auxiliary bishop from Los Angeles. Here’s my interview with Bishop David O’Connell shortly after our visit. We talk about Mary and Jesus and suffering children — and you may know that suffering children is an important theme at the National Review Institute’s Center for Religion, Culture, and Civil Society.
And one more: Here is late friend Karen Goodwin, on her own visit to Lourdes as a cancer patient. She was not physically healed, but she was ecstatic with gratitude. She wrote:
C. S. Lewis wrote that there were times he thought people don’t want to go to heaven, “but more often I find myself wondering whether, in our heart of hearts, we have ever desired anything else.”
It is the secret signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable want, the thing we desired before we met our wives or made our friends or chose our work, and which we shall still desire on our deathbeds, when the mind no longer knows wife or friend or work. While we are, this is. If we lose this, we lose all.
I live now in the rippling echoes of Lourdes. I am mindful of the yellow roses on the bare feet of Our Lady. I live in the Way of Beauty, albeit with the thorns of those yellow roses. Eucharisteo!
She had earlier explained: “I felt what they call Eucharisteo, the deepest kind of gratitude.”
Gratitude is another focus of some of NRI’s activities, in no small part because it was important to William F. Buckley Jr. It is legacy to be grateful, especially as our nation and conservatives, too, need to find our bearings anew.

Mission & Ministry
Our Core Values
The core values of our St. Anthony Catholic High School life are Community, Service & Social Justice, Holistic Education, Scholarship and Honesty & Integrity. We provide our students with opportunities to pray daily in all classes, at regularly scheduled liturgies, at athletic events and all student organization meetings. We further create faith opportunities by having student prayer leaders on every team and student organizations. Community is at the heart of our school and is perpetuated in our classrooms and all school-sponsored activities. Excellence in the classroom is an expectation of all of our students but always with the knowledge that they are role models of our faith.
Through this active involvement, students will truly find a community life experience which will better prepare them for the challenges of the future and for their place of service in the Church and the world.


There was a time that I was very much involved with church and its many activities. Some of these churches literally take up every single day of the week with meetings, prayer sessions and so on. One of the churches I was attending at the time (I would often go to two churches at the same period and actively participate in both) had a very charismatic pastor who had just started a week-long series on sin and temptation. A major talking point in his message(s) was that to be holy and keep ourselves that way, we should cut out/off anything that may predispose us to sin and an important “doorway to sin” was music. I have always believed that music is powerful and being brought up by two music-lovers (whose voices are still classified as weapons of mass destruction unfortunately) helped me develop broad tastes. After this moving sermon, I came home and decided that I would have to delete my collection and listen to Christian music only (this resolution lasted for two months). Some of these songs I had acquired through very testing means and I delayed carrying this out for a while. I eventually deleted everything but one group – The Cranberries. I had become a huge fan on discovering them and I especially loved this song since listening to it made me feel like I could really do anything I wanted. It talks about “not being so suicidal after all” which is ironic since at the time, I thought of suicide the way most guys think about sex.
Today in particular, I miss going to church and though I would like to go, I feel like I shouldn’t be going or that I’m not “allowed” to go. I honestly don’t know why.


Nancy has adopted Philippians 2:14-18 as her mission statement for God's calling and takes her company's name...Shining Star Ministries...from this scripture. She believes our lives should be characterized by moral purity, patience and peacefulness so we will "shine like stars" in a dark and crazy world
It is easy, however, to become clouded by complaining and arguing, as the scripture notes. Nancy feels that her purpose is to help others "shine out" for God. It is the message she conveys in her unique presentations to Christian organizations of all kinds.


Henninger’s has the experience and creativity to design and install church furniture and liturgical elements that are appropriate for every individual sacred space. While every job is unique, this page of pictures will give you an idea of some of the types of work we do in churches.
We do not have a style of liturgical art that we specialize in. Instead, we let our clients dictate the style that they desire and we cater to their needs.
Henninger’s works with a creative team to design places of worship that are unique to each community. We are inspired by church architecture and the liturgy itself. This inspiration and the input of the client contribute to the design process.
We have been serving churches for over ninety years and our knowledge of appropriate liturgical design has been used for four generations. Additionally, our library of liturgical environment resources enables us to translate customers’ ideas into liturgically correct design concepts.
Our team of artists and craftsmen have decades of experience to call upon. Henninger’s crew of installers, woodworkers, stained glass artists, painters, and marble workers all work exclusively in churches. We approach each job with a sense of reverence and professionalism that you expect.
Henninger's mission is simple - to strive for quality. In doing so, we are constantly learning and improving. Our search for the best fabricators and installers has led us to supplying magnificent church furniture and artwork.
While it's fun to look at the projects we've worked on in the past, we're much more excited about the projects that haven't started yet.
WORK IN PROGRESS PHOTOGRAPHS
Henninger's has the privilege everyday to work in churches, to glorify God and beautify His house.
Below you will find pictures of various projects that Henninger's has recently completed.


Prior to attending the 43rd Annual GMA Dove Awards in Atlanta, GA last week, Krissy Nordhoff would have said it was an honor to be nominated. She was already grateful and thankful that the song Your Great Name, which she co-wrote with worship leader and author Michael Neale. It had already received nominations for 3 Dove Awards – Song of the Year, Worship Song of the Year and Pop Contemporary Song of the Year. But, when they called her name as the winner for Worship Song Of The Year she was stunned.
“I am completely blown away by the way God has taken this song and breathed His life and favor over it to encourage other believers and glorify the great name of Jesus – our Healer, Redeemer and King!”, says Nordhoff, “I am humbled to be a part of it.”
Krissy Nordhoff began writing Your Great Name as a testimony to God’s faithfulness in her own personal healing story. In 2003, the Christian music singer, songwriter, wife and mom was diagnosed with advanced stage Lyme Disease after getting bitten by a tick 3 and half years prior. After 18 months of treatment and many doctor’s visits 7 hours away from her home in Nashville, TN, Krissy wasn’t seeing much progress, so she decided to visit a healing service being held at her sister’s church near Grand Rapids, MI –Resurrection Life Church – Grandville.
“I literally felt the Lord touch my physical being. And, I know that it was only a taste of His power. From that point forward, over the course of about 2 months, the Lord healed me completely!!”
Fast-forward a few years. Her church in Franklin, TN began having Wednesday night worship services. One evening during one of these services, a call for prayer went out to pray for a little boy who was diagnosed with a terminal illness and only had a few days left to live. Everyone in the sanctuary that night prayed earnestly to see this boy healed of his sickness. It wasn’t to be, however, and the boy did not live much longer. Krissy says this was a critical event in the formation of the song Your Great Name.
“I remember being overwhelmed with emotion when I heard the news. It was a major leap of faith for our church to pray for the life of this little baby boy. I didn’t want our church to be discouraged from praying and believing God for healing again. Even though, this time, we didn’t see this boy healed, it doesn’t change the truth of God’s word in scripture. The same is true as it has been for over 2000 years. Jesus rose from the dead and He is still alive today. He still does miracles today. He is still our Savior, Redeemer and King today! When I started writing the verses to this song – each one ending with ‘at the sound of your great name’ – that’s what I wanted to proclaim to our church: with faith and prayer in the great name of Jesus, fear leaves, children are fed, the sick are healed, the dead are raised and we are overcomers as God’s children.”
Despite trying to write a chorus to the song herself and even asking others to help her finish the song, nothing seemed to fit until she brought the song to her Worship Pastor, Michael Neale at her church and out came this simple, yet powerful chorus “Jesus, worthy is the Lamb, that was slain for us, Son of God and Man, You are high and lifted up and all the world will praise Your Great Name!”
The song eventually was recorded at a live recording at The People’s Church and would eventually be featured on the church’s worship album called Shine Out.
“I knew there was something special about that song that night,” says Krissy’s husband Eric, who runs TwoNords Music, the publishing company the two Nordhoffs started many years ago for their songwriting. “As soon as I received a copy of the recording of the song, I shared it with the artist manager of Natalie Grant, who is an associate of mine at the Gospel Music Association. Soon after, he sent it to Natalie and her husband, producer Bernie Herms. They took this song to a whole new level of production and passion and just made it something even more special.”
The song eventually became a Top 5 Christian radio single from Natalie’s album Love Revolution and remained on Billboard’s Christian radio chart for over 47 weeks in 2011. It has become a powerful worship anthem in the church today – encouraging countless believers every Sunday proclaiming the great name of Jesus.
The award for Worship Song of the Year is given out during the Dove Awards Pre-Show, which will be streamed live on the HearItFirst.com’s live video stream at 5:30pm Eastern/4:30pm Central on Tuesday, April 24th at exactly this link:http://live.hearitfirst.com/.

The pilgrims have packed up and the pope has gone home. The World Youth Day 2008 celebrations have finished and Sydney returns to normal.
I followed it all through the media, shared the noise from the late night partying of German Pilgrims billeted next door and visited the city while some of the events were on. You would be a great cynic indeed not to see the joy in the event.
My cynicism was finally driven away by listening to the Pope’s thought-provoking homilies. His speeches to the crowds were quite inspiring. But what is a homily? It is a word that conjures up ambiguous responses because of its two very opposite meanings:
a talk on a religious subject, intended to be spiritually uplifting rather than giving doctrinal instruction
a tedious moralising talk
It is possible to see that although the meanings may be quite polarised there is a very fine line between the two in practical terms. But Benedict XVI’s homilies were uplifting and far from tedious. His language was simple and very powerful. His description of the meaning of life, for instance:
It is a search for the true, the good and the beautiful. It is to this end that we make our choices; it is for this that we exercise our freedom; it is in this – in truth, in goodness, and in beauty – that we find happiness and joy. Do not be fooled by those who see you as just another consumer in a market of undifferentiated possibilities, where choice itself becomes the good, novelty usurps beauty, and subjective experience displaces truth.
This is communication that we all should aspire to.


About Jennifer Crisp - Europe 2024
I am so excited to be a part of this team for our renewal in Croatia in July 2024! I first served on a Come before Winter team in Bosnia in 2008, and I feel like this is a return to where this wonderful ministry began for me. When I think back to all the women who have been renewed and transformed by this ministry, my heart is full and thankful. I see the faces of women who left each renewal with a fresh word from the Lord and a community of women to encourage them in kingdom work around the world. This ministry makes a difference!
Each team member raises funds that cover their own expenses plus the cost of 3 participants to attend the renewal. I am committed to covering my own costs and would love for you to partner with me in helping participants attend. At every renewal, the women who attend say over and over how grateful they are for the blessing of attending an event like this without having to worry about the cost. Your gift is an investment in Kingdom work around the world and in the lives of those who are giving and serving in the name of Jesus.

I was speaking with my pastor and he asked if I would preach while he was away. I agreed and thought it would be a really meaningful way to begin the year. My Scripture passage was from
2 Corinthians 5:16-21. I tried to focus on the way we grow as Christians. I remember trying to memorize verse 17 as a newer Christian because of how important these concepts were to me. Growth takes time. Changing little by little is difficult, but an important truth to how we grow in our spiritual lives.
"From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
Information from the sermon can be accessed at the churches website:


I read other's blogs on a daily basis. And I realize how much fun everyone else is having!! My blog seems like such a downer. I know it's my life right now but I need to bring some joy into it. As many of you who have been following along know, I have "complained" about being forgotten. Those people who you think would surround you in your time of need, have just not been there. However, God has brought a whole new batch up of people.
Well...after all my "complaining", all of a sudden women are coming out of the woodwork to help out. Someone is organizing my grocery shopping, house cleaning, meals, etc. AND we have had more food brought into this house in the past 5 days then we could ever even begin to eat. Freezer is full. We've already had one dinner brought tonight and another is on its way. When it rains, it pours but I cannot complain about that. However, some of the food...well I just have to wonder? Boy I sound ungrateful but let's just say my parents have gotten loads of leftovers in the last couple of days. They are enjoying the overflow of less than fabulous food. They don't seem to mind.
I love the heart of a woman that is willing to pitch in. Even if it's not edible (ha) Because there are so many who say with their words that they will help but then nothing....I am trusting God that He will heal me and I will get to be a blessing. For now I pray for the needs of others since I can't meet those needs and know that's what He's called me to.
Am I the only one who has a hard time praying for myself though? It seems as things get worse and worse, I just can't even find the words to pray. That is when I am SO glad for the body of believers who pray. And for Jesus, our intercessor, who goes before the Father on our behalf. He knows our needs better than we do. Sometimes I just cry out the name of Jesus because that's all this heart can muster, but I know HE knows.
Wow I started out talking about how much fun everyone else is having on their blogs and here I am with another deep post. Oh well, this is what I have been given for now. To record this journey and that's what I'm doing. Hoping and praying that one day I will be posting that He has brought beauty from ashes. Obviously there are still some things that need the refining fire.

The first time I saw someone wearing a hoodie, I thought it was the silliest thing in the world. Hoodies are so associated with high school students and the 90s that I couldn’t help but wonder why anyone would want to wear one in their 20s or 30s. But one morning, as I packed my lunch, realized I didn’t have any baggies on hand, and reached into the back of my closet to grab an old hoodie of mine… something shifted in my head.
What does it mean to be born again?
Ye Must be born again hoodie. We are all born in sin and must be reborn, i.e., we need to be born again in order to be saved. This is a critical Christian doctrine that teaches that one cannot enter heaven without accepting Jesus as their savior. It’s also a phrase that can often get misconstrued in everyday speech, so it’s important to know what it means so you’re not taken out of context when someone sees you wearing a Ye Must Be Born Again hoodie or says this phrase to you.
How is this relevant in our modern day?
Ye Must be born again hoodie by Kanye West’s merch company, Kanyewestmerch.ltd, is a modern day clothes of Christ. Ye Must be born again hoodies are clothing that symbolizes rebirth through baptism and resurrection in Christianity. Through these clothes, Christians are able to share their faith and share the story of Jesus Christ with those they meet while wearing them. Ye must be born again hoodies have been worn by many people throughout history including Martin Luther King Jr., who wore one on his march to Montgomery Alabama in 1965. As a result, Ye must be born again hoodies became synonymous with social justice movements which work towards equality for all people and non-violence as a means of achieving it.
What happens when we are born again?
A couple of days ago, Kanye West released his newest album, Ye. On this album, he mentions being born again and going back to a place where he can be himself. What does it mean to be born again? Well, many Christians believe that when you are born again, you have been saved from sin and that you are given a new identity in Christ. However, some people say that when someone is born again they become a different person as if they were reborn or like they had died and were resurrected with new life. Those people believe that Kanye was talking about how after his last release of his album, The Life of Pablo (TLOP), Kanye felt like he needed a restart to be true to himself.
After being born-again, what do we do?
After being born-again, we need to be baptized with water and baptize others with water. We are commanded to go into all the world and preach the gospel unto every creature. We are told to be like Jesus in word, deed, and belief. We must not only believe but also obey what is written in Scripture. Most importantly, we must be different from those around us so that people will know that Jesus has changed our lives. We do this by following a new way of living. We no longer steal or bear false witness against our neighbors. If anyone takes something that does not belong to them, we let them keep it as long as they put it back where they found it when they’re done using it. We keep away from drugs and drinking alcohol because now we have access to an endless supply of water in Christ’s life giving Holy Spirit (John 7:37-39). Finally, one thing we should never do again is live a life focused on self–now we are focused on living for Jesus who died for us so that any other way of life would be meaningless (1 Corinthians 3:13).

Human persons are willed by God; they are imprinted with God’s image. Their dignity does not come from the work they do, but from the persons they are. St. John Paul II
Through the Lesson plans created by CTR, students will explore and learn how we are called to honour the inherent dignity of all peoples as they are created in the image of God, allowing every person to live life as God fully intends.
Face-to-face conversation is the most human – and humanizing – thing we do. Fully present to one another, we learn to listen.
It’s where we develop the capacity for empathy. It’s where we experience the joy of being heard, of being understood. And conversation advances self-reflection, the conversations with ourselves that are the cornerstone of early development and continue throughout life.
Sherry Turkle, 2015


The original post was written in 2016.
Last Sunday night was so amazing for me as I got to watch my 16 year old son dance at the Christmas night service for church and it was an incredible moment and an answer to prayers I have prayed for him for years.. I felt like I was watching him walk into what God has called him and made him to do.
Back in July before our church conference I pulled him aside and said to him ” I think you need to dance again, you should pray about it” his answer was “I’m done with dance mum” so I left it, I had sown a seed it was now up to God. At the end of our 3 day conference my son came to me and said “mum I heard from the LORD I think He wants me to dance again” he seemed incredulous that God would talk to him and he decided to try out for dance auditions. I was so happy for him that he made it into the team and I have loved watching his passion and dedication to being part of the team grow throughout the year.
My son is a really good rugby player and he’s played rep teams all throughout his age grades, but I have never seen the excitement and commitment that he has for dance in his rugby. I have been amazed as he has waited for hours after school by himself for 3+ hours and then caught a train home at 11 pm at night, getting up at 6 am the next morning to go back into school.
Isaac and Richard before one of his first rugby games.
I am also really grateful to this incredible team of young people who have welcomed him in and made him feel like part of the family. He came to me and said “mum I feel like I have found my fit and my place to serve” This just makes a mama’s heart sing!
Update on Isaac’s Dance:
This January Isaac (17) got to dance on the music video ‘Tomorrow will come” for CASS, she is amazing and such an up and coming talent. It was such a privilege for him to be part of her dance team.
Isaac only dances in the second half of the song but I am so proud of him and pretty stoked to see him outworking the gifts and talents that God has given him.
You can buy CASS’s album HERE
I would love to hear your thoughts, or your story so please leave me a comment. Can I pray for you it would be my pleasure to serve you.

ABSTRACT TI- IE BIBLICAL APPROACH TO CHURCH GROWTH THROUGH PERSONAL EVANGELISM HOKYUNG KIM Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, Mentor: Dr. Frank Schmitt The greatest commandment of the Lord is preaching the gospel all over the world. Modes of Evangelism A. Initiative Evangelism Unbelievers are exposed to the gospel, often outside of their natural relationships, through the strategic initiative of Christians. Biblical Examples 9Jesus’ teaching ministry primar ily centered around initiative evangelism – He continually went to new towns preaching publicly ( Mark 1: 38- 39). His evangelism style was to throw a great bean- feast and invite his tax- collector buddies to come and meet Jesus. He used his relationships to bring others to Christ. Invitational: Many feel comfortable with this style. In John 4, the Samaritan woman runs back to town and invites her friends to " come and see" Jesus. Evangelism Resource Directory.
