T. P. Boultbee's Commentary on the Articles: Quote of the Day

"The death of Henry in 1547 introduces us to another stage of the Reformation. Cranmer still adhered to his long cherished plan of a scheme of doctrine which should embrace the whole of the Reformed Church. But from various causes his efforts failed. Perhaps, among other reasons, the fact that the Archbishop abandoned the idea of the corporal presence, whether under the transubstantiation or consubstantiation theory proved a serious impediment to union with Lutheran divines in such a formulary."

The Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity.

The Collect.
ALMIGHTY and merciful God, of whose only gift it cometh that thy faithful people do unto thee true and laudable service; Grant, we beseech thee, that we may so faithfully serve thee in this life, that we fail not finally to attain thy heavenly promises; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
