Recently, a parishioner requested a book table which got me thinking about what to include.
Here’s what I decided to buy for our Parish Book Table:
Knowing God, JI Packer (Affiliate link)
Outline of an Anglican Life, Tarsitano
Signed Sealed and Delivered, Sutton
Monkhood of All Believers, Peters (Affiliate link)

In 1861, Bishop Cummins delivered a sermon in Philadelphia, in behalf of the Bishop White Prayer Book Society, and in 1867, after he had been consecrated to the Episcopate, as Assistant Bishop of Kentucky, he preached before the Convention of that Diocese that same sermon, rewritten, with additional matter.
“Again, we claim this high position for the Prayer Book because it is committed to no human system of theology, but is broad enough and comprehensive enough to embrace men who differ widely in their interpretations and definitions of Scriptural truth.

“Tomorrow” in memoriam Dr. Gary North
