At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
St. John 16:26-27

Fr. Paul continues his series of Christian Education classes about Anglicanism. Adult Christian Education classes start each Sunday morning at 9:15. Please find a recording of this past Sunday's lesson, at the link below:
