The Sermons of John Henry Newman
Sunday, January 15, 2012
10:00am - 10:45am -
Fifth Floor, Saint Thomas Church Parish House
This series of Sunday classes is on selected parochial and plain sermons of John Henry Newman. There are eight published volumes of these sermons, given by Newman when he was an Anglican priest (and republished some years ago in a fine one-volume edition by Ignatius Press). We will not do them all! Fr Austin's plan is this: each week to consider one sermon that is connected to our place in the liturgical year.
On January 15, Fr Austin speaks about one of Newman's Epiphany sermons, "The Glory of the Christian Church." (This is sermon #8 in volume 2.) Fr Austin gives a summary of Newman's argument, and then the class sees what it can make of it. It isn't expected that you read the sermon in advance, but if you want to, here's a link to it.
