• Christ the King

  
  Hilldale's Worship Ministry — Authority: 119
  Baptists dont generally follow the liturgical church year as many other denominations do. Probably because of years of trying to show that we are independent and not a break off of the Catholic church. And thats OK. But I have discovered over the years that there are some very nice things about the church year. For ...

  TitusOneNine — Authority: 547
  The autumn leaves, red and yellow and brown, are tumbling from the trees, resigned to their fate. Weekends are full of football and the scritching of rakes.

  Arabian Knits — Authority: 422
  1. We spent Halloween gorging on candy, drinking cider and watching movies. We watched Wallace and Grommit A Matter of Loaf and Death (which was great!) and the old, black and white, Godzilla. This week, the children were discussing what color Godzilla was. The boys settled on green or almost black green. Amira ...

• On Kalendars

  
  haligweorc — Authority: 420
  I’ve been putting my own kalendar together. I just can’t swallow “Holy Women, Holy Men” because I have some fundamental disagreements with its criteria, premises, and theology. Neither can I use the current Roman kalendar as it contains far too many who—I’m sure are quite wonderful and holy people ...

  Taking Thoughts Captive... — Authority: 112
  For many Christians, especially those whose traditions do not observe the church calendar, the mere mention of “All Saints’ Day” sounds eerily Roman Catholic or taboo.  But what exactly is this feast day (i.e., church celebration) all about?  I have found no better short explanation than that in the Treasury ...

• All Saints is Coming

  
  Per Christum Catholic Blog — Authority: 122
  I always look forward to All Saints Day , as a holiday to remember the saints of the Church.
