From Glory to Glory Advancing: The Afterlife in the Anglican Christian Tradition



Saint Matthias' Anglican Church in Dothan, Alabama is having a Teaching Mission on Saturday 22nd September 2018 from 9am - 4pm at the First United Methodist chapel in Dothan. 

Bishop Chandler (Chad) Holder Jones - Suffragan Bishop of the Diocese of the Eastern United States in the Anglican Province of America - will speak on the subject of the Christian's hope: 'From Glory to Glory Advancing: The Afterlife in Anglican Christian Tradition.'

Eternal life, resurrection of the body, Paradise, the communion of saints, and reunion with those we have known and loved in Christ are but a few of the day's topics. What do we have to look forward to when we die, what is our destiny, and what about our friends with seemingly little faith? This promises to be an exciting day. 

Father John Klein - St. Matthias' priest-in-charge - said recently: 'My hope is that those attending will come away with a practical, encouraging plan for living that lasts forever.' The day's events are open to all Christians, not just Anglicans, and those who are searching for faith are welcome too. 

An important part of the day will be music by Alexey Trushechkin of Moscow recently returned to Columbus State University from competing as a finalist in the famous International Edvard Grieg Piano Competition in Bergen, Norway. Please RSVP to Andrea Granger at (334) 792-7295.

Bishop Jones, would you please consider posting the contents of your talks at Saint Matthias' on this blog? It would be a great way to pass on the teaching about this important topic to a wider audience who for reasons of distance or other factors are unable to attend the Teaching Mission at Dothan, Alabama. :)
