The Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost

Grant to us, Lord, we beseech thee, the spirit to think and do always such things as are right, that we, who cannot exist without thee, may by thee be enabled to live according to thy will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Proper 14)


10:00 a.m.-10:45 a.m.

Four poets in four weeks: Dr. Robert Duvall will look at some of the great poets characterized as writing in the “metaphysical” manner.
On August 8: John Donne.
August 15: George Herbert.
August 22: T. S. Eliot.

Each of these poets has made a distinctive contribution to the Anglican Tradition, which will be the unifying theme of the series. Persons are welcome to come, however, to any of the individual talks.
