St. Paul's Anglican Church Crownsville: Recent Episodes
St. Paul's Anglican Church
St. Paul's Anglican Church is a parish in the Diocese of the Eastern United States in the Anglican Province of America serving the greater Annapolis, Maryland area. We have services Sundays at 8, 9:15, and 11. Come worship with us!
In his Pentecost Sunday sermon, Fr. Wesley discusses three ways the Holy Spirit abides with his Church: the personal indwelling of the individual believer, the missional work of the Church, and the governance of the Church through the sacramental system and spiritual gifts.
In the second session of our Lenten preparation retreat, we discuss the practice of self-examination. During this session, Fr. Wesley mentions two things: a template for self-examination based on the Seven Deadly Sins and the Examen of St. Ignatius of Loyola. You can find those through the buttons below.
Self-Examination based on the seven deadly sins
"Examen" by Fr. George Aschenbrenner, SJ
This is the first session of our Lenten retreat “Turn Thou Us, O Good Lord, and So Shall We be Turned” which looks at fasting.
