Homily on Justification

Brethren (as Cranmer would say)

The most important sermon in the Anglican Way & Tradition, the one referred to in the Articles of Religion as the Homily on Justification, and found in Book One of the BOOK of Homilies of the C of E, can be heard via your computer if you go to the church web site of my little parish. It has been placed there by my kind assistant, Barbara Rabett. I have read it naturally and straight onto the hardrive of the computer and thence to the web site, without any special technical help. Thus it may not be up to full commercial recording standards! But it is easily heard! Go to HOMILETTE, HOMILY

It was divided into three parts by the Elizabethan editors and thus we followed their plan so that you can hear it in 3 x 10 min sections. At the beginning of the 2nd and 3rd there is a short summary of what already has been said. Originally I guess it was read after Morning Prayer, during H C and after Evensong, or on three consecutive Sundays.

Please also note that the latest edition of Mandate, devoted to Cranmer the writer of prayers, especially Collects, is available at the PBS website

Thank you.

Please enjoy Cranmer through my imperfect reading of his classic text.
