The Nativity of John the Baptist is a Christian high-ranking liturgical feast day observed annually on 24 June by the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Anglicanism, and Lutheranism. It is one of only two feast days marking a saint's earthly birth (the other being the nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on 8 September); all other saint’s days mark their deaths or some other important event. The sole biblical account of the birth of John the Baptist comes from the Gospel of Luke which states that John was born six months before Jesus; thus, the feast of John the Baptist’s birth was fixed in the 4th century A.D. on 24 June, six months before Christmas. In the Roman calendar, 24 June was the date of the summer solstice, and Saint John's Eve is closely associated with Midsummer festivities in Europe. Traditions in France & Quebec, include bonfires (Saint John's fires), feasting, processions, church services, and gathering wild plants.

Our Bishop Chip Edgar gathered with us to discuss his journey to Anglicanism, his favorite things about our worship, and insight into the process of confirmation and reception.
Patrick opens with playful Taco Tuesday banter before answering listener questions about Catholic wedding protocols, the real story behind Saint Patrick’s sainthood, and the significance of post-Vatican II changes to church architecture and liturgy. He fields tough situations: guiding a godfather on how to lovingly challenge a drifting family member, addressing concerns over boundaries at the parish, and supporting a grandmother grappling with her granddaughter’s leap to Anglicanism. Amid the laughter and heartfelt dilemmas, Patrick shares a convert’s gratitude for the Eucharist, letting honest conversation and practical wisdom steer the day. Anthony (email) – My 22-year-old nephew and his fiancé asked me to officiate their wedding ceremony. I was honored to be asked, but I'm a bit hesitant. I've never been asked to do this before. Should I accept? If not, how do I decline? (01:560) Marie - I was in Ireland recently. St. Patrick’s Church was Anglican instead of Catholic. I was told St. Patrick was never Catholic, just 'Christian', because he came before canonization. (09:47) Richard - Why did the Catholic Church change the altar around in the 60s? (21:18) Mary - My friend has a crush on a priest. What should I do? Should I let the Pastor know? (30:56) Carol - I was invited to my granddaughter’s Anglican Church confirmation, and I need advice about going to a non-Catholic service. (38:19) Andrea - This is the month of the Eucharist. I am a convert and went 58 years without it. I am full of gratitude. (45:59)
In this mini episode, Mark Meynell returns to explain just what that whole High Church/Low Church concept discussed in A Murder of Quality is about. Mark explains the historical and social distinctions between the two, detailing how Anglicanism and its relationship with non-conformist denominations shaped British society and class systems over time. He also touches […]
Bible Talk Walk Saint Charlotte Mason? I think I'll do Seton because Mason was an Anglican but maybe Anglicanism branch theories could be a case for her canonization one day. At least informally in a homeschooling context.
The Anglicans of Melbourne have gone all the way to London to find their new archbishop.Last weekend they elected Richard Thorpe, currently the Bishop of Islington.It could be quite a shake up for Melbourne, where Anglicanism has balanced traditional-style worship with a more low-key evangelicalism.Bishop Thorpe's background suggests he prefers a more charismatic style.GUEST:Madeleine Davies is Senior Writer at the Church Times

Lord of the World was written in 1907 and is considered one of the classics of dystopian literature. The author, Fr. Robert Hugh Benson, was a Catholic convert from Anglicanism who wanted to write a book about the Antichrist. Lord of the World is that book. Malrubius (Chris), from The Sun Eater discord, joins the show to discuss Lord of the World, why it was important to Pope Francis, and how it impacted other science fiction literature. *************************************************************************************************************Follow me on Twitter @AaronIrberSubscribe to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@imightbelieveinfaeries7563Subscribe to my Substack - for updates on the show, essays, and more!Donate to my Patreon - I Might Believe in Faeries https://www.patreon.com/imightbelieveinfaeriesLike my Facebook page - I Might Believe in FaeriesBattle Of The Creek by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.comMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Logo Art by Linnea Kisby************************************************************************************************************* Get full access to I Might Believe in Faeries at aaronirber.substack.com/subscribe
Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!Something unexpected is happening in Catholic churches around the world. While mainstream narratives suggest declining religious participation, a quiet revolution is brewing in the most surprising demographic: Gen Z. We're witnessing a remarkable surge in young Catholics embracing traditional liturgical practices, with recent data showing Latin Mass communities growing despite official Vatican restrictions. The Atlantic reports that these communities have been relegated to school gymnasiums and storage rooms, yet continue to attract devoted followers – particularly young ones. Studies show 44% of Latin Mass attendees are under 45, compared to just 20% in regular parishes.This trend isn't limited to America. In the UK, Catholics now outnumber Anglicans two-to-one among Gen Z, part of a pattern observed across all age groups. The Bible Society's research reveals Christianity growing after decades of decline, driven specifically by young adults seeking community, meaning, and connection in an age of social media fragmentation and mental health challenges.What's drawing the younger generation to ancient liturgical forms? For many, it's the reverence, beauty, and historical connection missing in contemporary worship. As one attendee simply put it: "This is a place where we more easily meet God." Others value the ceremonial aspects, Gregorian chant, periods of silence, and emphasis on sacrifice that characterize traditional practices.This phenomenon appears to follow what scholars call the "strict church hypothesis" – religious groups tend to thrive when membership demands commitment and sacrifice. In our increasingly secular world, perhaps the future of faith lies paradoxically in its ancient past.What do you think is driving this traditional religious revival among young people?

How did a Swedish Pentecostal find himself called to the beauties, benefits, and dangers of an institutional church? Today we join the Rev. Magnus Persson of the Church of Sweden, which is a Full Communion Partner with the Episcopal Church. We discuss the "Three streams" of Swedish Lutheranism and it's intersections with Anglicanism, how God led Magnus away from charismatic success to priestly divesment, the painful transformations of grace, and saunas and the Holy Spirit. Finally, we talk about the place of the Swedish Evangelical Mission (EFS), the organization Magnus is a part of, within the larger Church of Sweden, and what it's like to work patiently and cheerfully for change from within an ancient institution.Magnus is an ordained minister in the Church of Sweden and works as a pastor for the Swedish Evangelical Mission. He is also the network co-ordinator of Re:formera, a network and think tank for reformational whole-churchism, and he's the host for its weekly podcast (which Amber appeared on as a guest).Whether you're struggling to serve in an older institution, wondering whether God might be calling you to a vocational leap of faith, or if you just enjoy a good story, we hope you enjoy the conversation.More about the Swedish Evangelical Mission (EFS)Magnus's book, Reclaiming the ReformationAmber on the Re:formera podcastEpisode with Matthew Riegel (ELCA)Living Church events

In this episode of the Gotta Be Saints podcast, I sit down with Matthew Wiseman, convert to Catholicism and author of The Two Jerusalems, for a powerful conversation about his journey from the Messianic movement to the Catholic Church.Raised in a devout Southern Baptist home, Matthew's family began a home church that eventually led them into the Hebrew Roots movement, where they embraced the Mosaic Law and Old Testament festivals. But what began as a sincere desire to follow Scripture more faithfully soon revealed deep questions—especially about authority, unity, and interpretation.Matthew shares how a hunger for truth and clarity led him to explore Jewish oral tradition, Anglicanism, and ultimately Catholicism. We discuss the need for a living authority in the Church, the flaws of sola scriptura, and the life-changing impact of discovering the Liturgy of the Hours. He also shares the role his family played in his conversion journey and how reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church helped lead his wife into the Church as well.This episode isn't just about one man's conversion. It's about the longing we all share for truth, unity, and a Church that reflects Christ fully.Topics Covered:What it's like growing up in the Hebrew Roots movementWhy the Mosaic Law alone isn't enough—and what that reveals about ScriptureThe role of tradition and authority in interpreting the BibleMatthew's personal conversion story and how it affected his familyThe beauty and power of praying the Psalms and the Liturgy of the HoursWhy unity in the Church matters and what drew him to CatholicismHow reading the Catechism brought his wife into the Church
Winfield Bevins is some of everything good. He is a church planter who planted both a church and a network before taking on the role of Director of the Center for Church Multiplication at Asbury Theological Seminary. He has since stepped out of that role to lead Creo Arts, a non-proift dedicated to fostering creativity within the Church. Winfield is a prolific writer with books to his credit about Anglicanism, discipleship in the home, church planting, and the creative arts. As others have said, Winfield is a hands-on creator of ideas, books, churches, movements, icons … all of it spreading joy and Jesus.

The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church share a common origin, but over time, differences in theology, practice, and leadership have led to a significant split. In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany revisit their recent conversation with Reverend Greg Kronz to debrief what makes these two denominations distinct and why thousands of churches chose to leave the Episcopal tradition and form the Anglican Church in North America.

In this video, I'm joined by Sean Luke, whom I will now refer to as the best apologist for Protestantism you didn't know about (until today). In this discussion, we focus primarily on the arguments for Anglicanism, but in doing so, we touch on some of the key reasons to stay Protestant, even when you might really feel the pull to Rome. Topics include sola apostolica as an alternative to sola scriptura, why the episcopate is essential, and what keeps us from uniting with Rome, among other things. tFind him on YouTube: @anglicanaesthetics Subscribe to his substack: https://anglicanaesthetics.substack.com/Support the channel:Patreon: https://patreon.com/gospelsimplicity PayPal: https://paypal.me/gospelsimplicitySupport the show

It's been too long but here is my new episode. It started with the second-to-last scene in an 'Outer Limits' episode from 1963 entitled "The Human Factor". Brought yours truly straight to tears. Then we hurtled through time to 1996, to Cliff Robertson's touching redemption at the end of another 'Outer Limits' episode, entitled "Joyride". The combination of these two genius moments equipped PZ to talk about... yes... Anglicanism... and yes... the Episcopal Church... and yes... contemporary parish ministry. But I couldn't go there until my heart was ready. And that work was achieved by Sally Kellerman and Gary Merrill in 1963. Incidentally, I recommend you begin your sermon preparation -- maybe any public preparation -- by getting in touch with your heart. (People aren't really that interested in your mind.) Get in touch with your heart and you might actually convince somebody. Oh, and by the way, I'm an Episcopal minister and still glad to be one. (And we go to a great church.) LUV U.

The Episcopal Church is a branch of Anglicanism. Over time, theological differences have created a divide, but what sets them apart? In this episode, Pastor Jeff sits down with Reverend Greg Kronz to explore the history, doctrinal shifts, and denominational splits that have shaped these two traditions. Here's What We Discussed:01:10 - Reverend Greg's Journey to MinistryRaised in a Roman Catholic family, Reverend Greg had a deep respect for tradition and faith. He later found a personal relationship with Christ through Young Life. Seeking a church that blended historical liturgy with evangelical beliefs, he was drawn to the Episcopal Church.07:19 - Anglicanism vs. EpiscopalianismAnglicanism began when the Church of England separated from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534. As the British Empire expanded, Anglicanism spread worldwide. In the U.S., Anglican churches were once part of the Episcopal Church. However, as theological differences grew, the Anglican Church of North America was formed, creating two distinct traditions.09:35 - Why Did Many Churches Leave the Episcopal Church?In 2003, the Episcopal Church consecrated Gene Robinson, its first openly gay bishop. This event deepened a growing divide. The issue was not just about social change but a larger departure from biblical authority. Reverend Greg explains how many Episcopalians felt the church was moving away from Scripture.14:22 - Key Differences Between Episcopalian and Anglican BeliefsThe Episcopal Church takes a progressive approach, emphasizing inclusivity and modern interpretations of Scripture. The Anglican Church of North America remains committed to traditional biblical teachings, especially on marriage, salvation, and scriptural authority.21:20 - The Role of Bishops and Church StructureBoth are led by bishops and organized into dioceses (groups of churches overseen by a bishop). The ACNA was formed as a response to theological shifts in the Episcopal Church. Reverend Greg shares how his church navigated this transition and how entire dioceses chose Anglicanism to maintain traditional beliefs.We love your feedback!

Thomas Jefferson drafts a bill to prevent Virginia Tax dollars from being used to support the state church, Anglicanism in the colonial era. The church itself rebrands itself as the Episcopal Church, but still hopes for state support. For years, the debate rages. After Jefferson leaves for France, James Madison takes up leadership on the fight, getting the Assembly to pass the bill in 1786.
