On this episode of Faith and Honor, we have an introductory conversation on the Anglican liturgy - the central act of communal prayer practiced by Anglicans every Sunday. We ask some of the questions which often arise, such as what the liturgy is on a basic level, why Anglicans do it, and what role it has in Anglican history and even more broadly in Christian prayer and devotion as a whole. We also consider some objections made regarding prayer as necessarily spontaneous, and how the formula of the liturgy relates to reverence and piety.

THROWBACK: this was our first ever podcast episode!

Dr. Bob Pardon joins us to discuss cults and spiritually abusive groups. We define what we mean by these phrases, the profile of a spiritually abusive leader, and the cultural conditions that make for a proliferation of sects, some of which are heretical and some of which are not (at least on paper). We also discuss how people get recruited into and involved with such groups as well as how faithful pastors can effectively minister to those who have escaped such circles.
