Saint Thomas Church was proud to offer a series of nine lectures entitled “An Introduction to Anglicanism” given by Dr. Christopher Wells. These lectures were delivered in groups of three in September 2019, December 2019, and March 2020. Dr. Wells traveled from his home in Dallas, Texas to be with us. Over the course of the nine lectures he painted a broad and engaging picture of our Anglican history and heritage. You can read more about each set of lectures and access audio webcasts below.
