Sermon: Pentecost 15
The sermon today was based on the readings for proper 22. You will find the readings in the bulletin in PDF below (it will help to see the Collect prayer that is on the bulletin).
The quote from Richard Hooker (1554-1600) is as follows from section 49, Book V "Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity" translated by Philip Secor:
"It is not proper for us, in this life, to condemn anyone because for all we know there is hope that everyone will be forgiven who repents before his death (St. Sidonius, Apollinaris, Epistle 6.11, AdEluetherium.). Charity, which hopes all things, also prays for all people (1 Corinthians 13:7). We must stop pretending to have a personal knowledge of who is a vessel of wrath and who of mercy. We have not the capacity to know who others really are in the sight of God. For us there is sufficient evidence in the fallen condition of all people to justify our prayer on their behalf."
