In this special episode, we're once again excited to have Bishop Chandler Holder Jones join Mining the Mysteries to explain the four orders of the church: episcopate, presbyterate, diaconate, and laity. The discussion covers the biblical basis for this structure, the importance of order, the difference between ontology and functionality in ministry, and addresses concerns about clericalism and accountability within the church.

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made, and dost forgive the sins of all those who are penitent; Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness. may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Wall Street Journal, Ten Years On
Ten years ago, on 3rd March 2015, my brother Father Brandon Holder Jones and I made the front page of the Wall Street Journal with this article about our conversion to the Sancta Catholica Ecclesia. We are identical twins and both priests in our respective Apostolic jurisdictions, the Anglican Province of America and the Roman Catholic Church. At the time, we joked that President Obama was actually below us on the front WSJ page! The article went viral and produced a remarkable array of reactions across the US and the world. Ten years on, by God's grace, we remain well and blessed, and more active than ever in pastoral ministry. God bless you.

Nicea 1700 Years On
Dearly beloved in Christ,
We believe in one God, the Father almighty,
And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
begotten from the Father, only-begotten,
that is, from the substance of the Father,
God from God, light from light,
true God from true God, begotten not made,
of one substance with the Father,
through Whom all things came into being,
things in heaven and things on earth,
Who because of us men and because of our salvation came down, and became incarnate and became man,
and suffered, and rose again on the third day, and ascended to the heavens, and will come to judge the living and dead,
And in the Holy Spirit.
But as for those who say, There was when He was not,
and, Before being born He was not,
and that He came into existence out of nothing,
or who assert that the Son of God is of a different hypostasis or substance, or created, or is subject to alteration or change
– these the Catholic and Apostolic Church anathematises.
With these words, the original version of our Creed (nicknamed ‘N’) from the First Ecumenical Council of Nicea I, which Council was held from 20th May 325 to early July 325, we celebrate in
this new year of grace and salvation the 1700th anniversary of the First General Council of the Holy Catholic Church. We encourage all parishes and missions of the Anglican Province of America to observe a special day or Sunday this year in commemoration of God’s gift to us of our statement of Orthodox and Apostolic Faith in the Most Blessed Trinity and the true Deity and Incarnation of Our Lord, God, and Saviour Jesus Christ. If one waxes bold, one may use this original version of the Nicene Creed at a special liturgy, a Creed which both clearly affirms the Eternal Son of God as homoousios, being of One Substance or Essence with the Father, and condemns with equal clarity all the pernicious errors of the heresiarch Arius. It is a remarkable year in which to be a Catholic Christian! 2025 is a momentous year in the history of Christ’s earthly Kingdom, Holy Mother Church.

Christ-Mass 2024
ALMIGHTY God, who hast given us thy only. begotten Son to take our nature upon him, and as at this time to be born of a pure Virgin; Grant that we being regenerate, and made thy children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by thy Holy Spirit; through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the same Spirit ever, one God, world without end. Amen.

Advent Sunday 2024
Pontifical Solemn High Mass for Advent Sunday at Saint Barnabas Cathedral Atlanta.
ALMIGHTY God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the quick and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal, through him who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, now and ever. Amen.

Anglican Province of America Hurricane Helene Relief Appeal
30th September 2024
Dearly beloved in Christ,
We pray that this follow-up notice finds all of you secure and safe. The utter devastation caused by Hurricane Helene has exceeded all expectations and has produced disaster and ruin on a level not seen in generations, especially in Western North Carolina and East Tennessee. Over the past 48 hours, the news has become more and more grim. I should like to ask please for your prayerful contributions to an official Anglican Province of America Hurricane Relief Appeal, which donations will be directed to our own families affected by the storm. The APA has several families directly impacted with major property damage. The needs within the hurricane zone are truly incomprehensible and overwhelming, but we can begin to offer our support by helping one another.
Please be generous. We shall prepare a donation link on the Provincial website, anglicanprovince.org. Cheques may be sent to our Provincial Treasurer, Dan Wilder, at 3208 West State Road 426 Suite 2060, Oviedo, Florida, 32765 and marked ‘Hurricane Relief' on the memorandum line.
Thank you so very much for your gracious and beautiful consideration. Let us fervently continue to pray for everyone who has been lost, injured, or dispossessed. May the Lord Jesus Christ bring His divine compassion, peace, and healing to our afflicted land. God bless you.
In Our Blessed Lord,
+Chad
The Most Reverend Chandler Holder Jones, SSC
Presiding and Diocesan Bishop
