The Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost

The Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost

Grant us, O Lord, not to mind earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are passing away, to cleave to those that shall abide; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Proper 20)

These short weekly talks look at friendship in the Bible, and particularly the occasions on which Jesus uses the word “friend.” They also look at the use of “friend” in the hymnody of the Episcopal Church.
