Sermon for Pentecost Sunday, 2026

Article XXI: Of the Authority of General Councils

Fr. Andrew's sermon on Article XXI of The 39 Articles of Religion: Of the Authority of General Councils, preached on the Second Sunday after Trinity (6.4.2026). "General councils may not be gathered together without the commandment and will of princes. And when they be gathered together – forasmuch as they be an assembly of men, whereof all be not governed with the Spirit and Word of God – they may err, and sometimes have erred, even in things pertaining unto God. Wherefore things ordained by them as necessary to salvation have neither strength nor authority, unless it may be declared that they be taken out of Holy Scripture."

Article XX: Of the Authority of the Church

Fr. Andrew's sermon on Article XX of The 39 Articles of Religion: Of the Authority of the Church, preached on the Sunday after Ascension Day (5.17.2026). "The church hath power to decree rites or ceremonies, and authority in controversies of faith; and yet it is not lawful for the church to ordain anything that is contrary to God's Word written, neither may it so expound one place of Scripture that it be repugnant to another. Wherefore, although the church be a witness and a keeper of Holy Writ, yet, as it ought not to decree anything against the same, so besides the same ought it not to enforce anything to be believed for necessity of salvation."
