The first Anglican start up in over a hundred years is The College at St. Andrew’s, in Chester, in northern California, at the foot of Mt. Lassen and on the shores of Lake Almanor. While on a promotional tour of the East Coast, Fr. Brian Foos, the Headmaster, visited the Cathedral on March 15 with his wife and daughters. After Mass they shared with us how St. Andrew’s, as a parish church, gave rise to its own Academy, which is, in turn, leading to a private Christian liberal arts micro-college. Fr. Foos says, “Our aspiration is that the St. Andrew’s college graduate will discern the competing philosophies of the time in light of the wisdom of the ages. We strive to live faithfully rooted in Christ within the church, while we engage and transform the culture, and honor both Christ and man. To do this, we provide an education of both scholastic excellence and spiritual formation, pursuing Truth, Goodness and Beauty together.” Fr. Foos explains that “The life of the college is classical, traditional and communal, with (i) Oratorio — prayer is central to Christian life. We pray matins and evensong together daily. (ii) Studium — Study is an integral means of acquiring true knowledge and wisdom for life. To study is to learn. We learn to study. (iii) Labor — To work well is to live well, with study, play, vocation and service. We labor, and labor well.” For more information we invite you to visit visit this link: TheCollegeAtStAndrews.com | A Partial list of Anglican parish schools and academies A partial list of Anglican parish schools and academies (ages 6-18):

We began our initial discussions on January 11th, 2019 for the purpose of discussing God's will for our mutual journey in Christ. Over the past four years, we have gathered for worship and sacred fellowship. We have grown to know each other as brothers in Christ, and committed ourselves to find ways we may work together for mutual support and the ever challenging task of becoming one. Though we gratefully share the fullness of the Catholic faith, we are aware that the goal of unity may take many years. Nevertheless, we believe that our work together is essential to the fulfillment of God's will. We will keep our Churches in prayer that our efforts may bear the necessary spiritual fruit and be ever pleasing to God.” | Book review - Peter Kreeft’s Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Heaven, But Never Dreamed of Asking: from the back cover: “this first edition of Kreeft’s very popular work includes seven unpublished chapters, along with an important appendix which demonstrates why it is reasonable to ask specific questions about Heaven. Kreeft provides a look at the nature of Heaven that offers all readers a refreshingly clear, theologically sound, and always fascinating glimpse of that ‘undiscovered country.’ Peter J. Kreeft’s good and informative account thoughtfully answers such engaging questions as: “How can we know what Heaven is like? Will we all be equal in Heaven? What will we do in Heaven? Will we feel sorrow in Heaven for those in Hell? Why must we have bodies in Heaven? Is there sex in Heaven? Will we know everything in Heaven? What age will we be in Heaven? Are there animals in Heaven? How big is Heaven? How will we recognize each other in Heaven? Does Heaven begin now? “Kreeft combines solid scholarship with a lively ability to communicate his findings. He speaks to the heart and mind, blending contemporary thinking and classical views to give us an unexcelled look at one of the most popular, yet least understood, subjects in religion.” This book is excellent for group study and/or solo reading, to not only get ready for our eternal destiny, but to learn more about how that destiny shapes and summons us in the here-and-now. Dr. Kreeft is a Professor of Philosophy at Boston College, an ardent disciple of C. S. Lewis and a recent panelist at the recent Mere Anglican Conference in Charleston, SC. | Visit the Diocese the Holy Cross Website Contact Bishop Paul Hewett This e-mail is sent from an un-monitored e-mail account.
