This episode presents my entry in the 2023 ACNA Archbishop's summer essay contest, which received the bronze placement in the clergy category. Since the clergy division was supposed to be a sermon rather than a written essay, and since a sermon is a work of oratory, designed to be heard rather than read, I made a video recording of the sermon.The contest challenge was: In April 2023, 1,300 Anglicans from around the world gathered in Kigali, Rwanda, at the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) to chart a new course for Global Anglicanism. The final Conference statement (the Kigali Commitment) calls for “resetting” the Anglican Communion on the foundation of Biblical authority and classic Anglican principles of doctrine, discipline, and worship, as articulated in the Jerusalem Declaration (2008).You have chosen or been tasked to preach on the topic: “What does it mean to be a global Anglican today?” Choose a biblical text or texts and write the sermon.My entry was the assertion that to be an Anglican today is inherently to be a global Christian, proceeding from Paul's quote from Isaiah in Romans 15:21 ("They shall see who have never been told of him, and they shall understand who have never heard of him") and the speech of Archbishop of Canterbury Geoffrey Fisher upon returning from the longest stretch of his global tour of the Anglican Communion.Here is the print version: https://anglicanhousepublishers.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Revd-Timothy-M.-Matkin.pdfhttp://www.stfrancisdallas.org Are you blessed by this ministry?

Father Matkin tells the unbelievable story of a mystic nurse, a bleeding statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Episcopalian pope of Eddystone, Pennsylvania. In 1977, Father Chester Olszewski, the Rector of St Luke's Episcopal Church got himself ordained an Old Catholic bishop and proclaimed himself the Vicar of Christ, and ultimately Pope Peter II, or Petrus Romanus, the end-of-days pope prophesied by St Malachy. Needless to say, this did not sit well with the Episcopal bishop of Pennsylvania.
