What's new at Blessed Sacrament

Posted July 7, 2008

ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS

Blessed Sacrament will join Anglo-Catholics throughout the Anglican world in an hour of silent prayer on Monday, July 14 to mark the 175th anniversary of the launching of the Oxford Movement and the Catholic Revival in the Anglican Communion. This event was suggested by Forward in Faith. The observation at Blessed Sacrament will begin with Evensong, and will include the sermon preached by the Rev. John Keble, "National Apostasy", which he delivered at St. Mary the Virgin in Oxford on July 14, 1833. It was this sermon that ignited the Catholic revival in the Church of England. A corporate hour of silent prayer will follow Evensong. As we pray to God on July 14, it is our aim not merely to commemorate the events of the past, but also to listen to God and to pray for His help to discern and carry out His will in our own generation. Those who are unable to attend may observe the hour of silent prayer under any circumstances sometime on that day.
