The Company of the Fathers

The Company of the Fathers is starting up again!  We are reading Tertullian’s Apology right now, and it is startling to realize that the Church has weathered all the same problems, hundreds of years ago.  Our economy may be in the tank, but the Church has been through all this many times before.  We suffer [...]

Good Book – God With Us: Knowing the Mystery of Who Jesus Is

Rev. Daniel R. Hyde, pastor of Oceanside United Reformed Church, keeps churning out good books.  One I’ve been meaning to recommend for a while is God With Us: Knowing the Mystery of Who Jesus Is.  Although not specifically about liturgy, Hyde reminds us of central truths about the One we worship and serve in the Liturgy.
