First Fruits Apr 14, 2015

Show notes

The Sacraments of the Church make possible the very Incarnational presence that is necessary for the transformation of creation. In this talk, the second of a two-part series, Fr.

Show notes

When the Anglo-Saxon barbarians converted to Christianity in the seventh century, they were immediately forced to grapple with the paradoxes of their new religion. How could God suffer and die—and why would we worship such a God? What could His death do for us? The struggle to find an answer produced The Dream of the Rood: an ancient poem that allows us to see the Passion in a new light.
