The whole church is a kingdom of priests, but God calls out little priests to perfect the saints by Word and Sacrament so that our humanity is exalted with Christ to participate in the divine nature. My Ascension Day homily (1 Pet. 5): soundcloud.com/st-aidans/6-th…

I have been @TASeminary for one year now! Congratulations to all you graduates. I enjoyed having some of you in my classes. I am eager to see what Anglican churches you go on to serve.

"The climax is not so much us seeing the royal Lord, but us being seen." What does it mean to be seen by God? Listen to Todd Billing's message from the 2026 Credo Conference: youtube.com/watch?v=UAGcoX…

"There are many places in our life that are Sheol. Sheol is not identical with sin. It is a place of the apparent abandonment of God, where we are crying out for the face of God." Don't forget to listen to Todd Billing's Credo Conference 2026 message: youtube.com/watch?v=UAGcoX…

The external works of the Trinity are inseparable. Tonight Anselm House meets! Not only will Anselm Fellows discuss Nicaea but Lewis Ayres is helping them understand what being pro-Nicene has to do with ascetics. theanselmhouse.com

"Amidst all the tumult of decisions I had to make . . . there was a sense that the one thing I wanted most deeply . . . was to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord." Hear more in Todd Billing's Credo Conference 2026: youtube.com/watch?v=UAGcoX…

“In what universe did Jesus ever intend preaching to supplant and replace His sacrament of communion?” @MattMBarrett Matthew Barrett's Credo Conference message summons us pilgrims on our way to see God to taste and see that the Lord is good. youtu.be/gwTHRl9EgW0

“Jesus knew and saw the supernatural mystery that we only know by faith and yet through a mirror dimly.” @MattMBarrett Matthew Barrett's Credo Conference message explains why Jesus experienced the beatific vision. youtu.be/gwTHRl9EgW0

Gavin Ortlund gave me an excuse to talk about Aquinas. So here we go: the beatific vision is supernaturally revealed and so it is beyond the natural power of the knower, says Aquinas.” @MattMBarrett Matthew Barrett's Credo Conference message is out! youtu.be/gwTHRl9EgW0

“Are you happy? Or are you using God as a means to some other end?” @MattMBarrett Learn more in the second Credo Conference 2026 message with Matthew Barrett: youtu.be/gwTHRl9EgW0

If to be God is the same as to be happy, then it is only in seeing God that we will participate in the fullness of happy, fully united to God. @MattMBarrett Dr. Barrett's Credo Conference message is out! youtube.com/watch?v=gwTHRl…

One reason we confess the Nicene Creed each Sunday is because God raised up a theologian like Gregory of Nazianzus. Today is his Feast Day! Pray with us: Almighty God, who has revealed to your Church your eternal Being of glorious majesty and perfect love as one God in Trinity of Persons: Give us grace that, like your bishop Gregory of Nazianzus, we may continue steadfast in the confession of this faith, and constant in our worship of you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; who live and reign for ever and ever. Amen. -Lesser Feasts and Fasts

I used to think of morning and evening prayer as something I can fit into my personal “quiet time.” Since becoming Anglican my whole perspective has changed. United to Christ’s body, together we participate in the communion of the saints as we confess the one holy catholic and apostolic church. We are prepping for @TheAnselmHouse to dine and discuss the catholicity of bishops and why they formed a council, the council of Nicaea. I am preparing the 2027 schedule soon.
