Adelphoi,
The fourth of the written Sermons in the First Book of Homilies (1547), to be read in church at Holy Communion, is entitled "A Short Declaration of the true, lively and Christian Faith." It is a most powerful description of true, living faith in contrast to a dead, false faith. It is true faith that works by love and is expressed in good works.
I have recorded this Sermon. It is in Three Parts of about 10 mins each, and is the fourth such 16th century Homily at my church website - the first four in the Book.

I invite you to go along via your computer and its speakers to hear it. My voice is merely the means of bringing this powerful Reformation proclamation into your home.
I thank Barbara Rabett for doing the work necessary to place these Homilies on line.
It is our hope to place all the Homilies (12) of The First Book of Homilies on several CD's and make them available via the Prayer Book Society of the USA.
The Rev'd Dr. Peter Toon
