Discussion of the liturgical season of Advent

Collect for the First Sunday of Advent


Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. 
Amen.

From 2007,...Discussion of the liturgical season of Advent with the Rev. Peter M. Carey, in the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia

"Episcopal Church: Who we are? 2.0" - well worth 3 minutes!

This video, "The Episcopal Church: Who we are?" has been making the rounds, and it really is quite good...funny, with some bits of wisdom, check out this "2.0" version of the video with some good updates. 2000 people have viewed the earlier version in only 36 hours, definitely worth 3 minutes of your time!

~The Rev. Peter M. Carey

"This is an updated version of the viral video that gives a humurous look into The Episcopal Church from a loving perspective. We love our denomination without taking anything from our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ."

Shrine Mont is a blessed place

If you've been there, you know that Shrine Mont in Orkney Springs is a blessed place. Our parish is going there this weekend, and it will be a great time.

The last time I was there, I filmed this brief video on the "practice of presence" which is a rather wonderful practice to do while up on the "Mont"!

~The Rev. Peter M. Carey



Rev. Peter Carey on the Practices of the Christian Life - Practice of Presence - the miracle of nature in springtime at Shrine Mont, Orkney Springs, VA. 4 May 2009. Take 72 seconds to notice God's presence all around you.

Catching up on some Episcopal Church youtube videos...AmmaGuthrie's "Prayer Book" video!

Just hilarious!

Wonderful...

This is your brain on Biblical Inerrancy - Father Matthew Cooks up another good one

A presentation on Biblical Inerrancy by Episcopal priest, Matthew Moretz. The piece deals with the problems that come with believing that the Scriptures are infallible in every way. Biblical inerrancy can be an obstacle to Christian faith, and a kind of idolatry if one isn't careful. As suggested in the video, something doesn't have to be infinitely perfect for God to speak through it. This is an installment of the "Father Matthew Presents" series, now in stunning HD. Father Matthew is a priest at Christ's Church (Episcopal) in Rye, New York.

"A video invitation to learn more about Episcopal Diocese of Washington. "

From the award winning editor at the Episcopal Cafe today:

"Because the canon for communications in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington (that would be me) is a bear of very little brain, it only recently occurred to him to put the movie that the marvelous Hugh Drescher made for us five years ago on You Tube. You can see the entire extravaganza here, in seven bites of about 75 seconds a piece. But here is a taste."
