e are followers of a Way...

• instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ
• recorded in Holy Scripture
• expressed in the Creeds and Councils of the undivided Church
• celebrated in the Sacraments
• preserved by the teaching of bishops in Apostolic Succession
• observed in the forms of the Anglican tradition

We walk this Way to grow in knowledge and love of our Lord, to strengthen the Light and resist the Darkness within and without, and to strive to live each day within the Word and still within the world. We believe that traditional worship is still valuable and relevant to contemporary society.

If you are seeking a church home or just passing through, please feel welcome.

Come unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you. (Matthew 11:28)

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)

So God loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, to the end that all that believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

We are in need of an organist to play at our services, typically up to 2 hrs for the Sunday service (hymns from the Hymnal 1940 plus service music). We have a new Rodgers Inspire Classic 227 organ and would love someone looking to build their experience to exercise it. Compensation negotiable. Please see our posting at the LA American Guild of Organists website or reach out to Robert Jones (mcgyvr -at- live.com). Thank you!

28 April 2007 - 400th Anniversary of the Cross-Planting

Update: 30 April See the article in the Orange County Register

Update: 29 April Congratulations and deepest thanks go to Fr. Kelley for a wonderful event! Five parishes were represented, with a total of about 50 attendees of all ages. Fellowship (and s’mores!) helped to bring us together, as did the uplifting service. Some photos of the event may be viewed on our photo album page.

“Likewise, too, we might say there have been contentions between various brands of Traditional Anglicans. That is something I pray this gathering can help begin in healing.” – Fr. Christopher Kelley

Sunday, April 29th, marks the 400th Anniversary of the Cross-Planting for the spread of the Gospel on the eastern shores of what would become these United States. To commemorate the event, Fr. Kelley of St. Mary of the Angels (Hollywood) is organizing a gathering at Corona del Mar Beach (Marguerite and Ocean Drive), with a reenactment of the Cross-Planting at 4 pm, followed by Evensong. Full information is available on their website.

The Legacy of Robert Hunt

The journey to Chesapeake Bay was marked by harsh conditions, strife between settlers and crew, and conflict with the natives. Upon arrival, Chaplain Robert Hunt called for three days of prayer and fasting. On 29 April 1607, the crew planted a rough-hewn wooden cross in the sand. Chaplain Hunt claimed the land for king and country and dedicated the New World to God, a staging ground for the Gospel: “…from these very shores the Gospel shall go forth to not only this New World, but the entire world.”

These events are dramatized in First Landing, a made-for-TV movie premiering on ABC Family Channel on 30 April (Time Warner West Valley Channel 44).

More information about the 400th Anniversary of the Cross-Planting and the founding of Jamestown may be found at The Assembly 2007 and The Jamestowne Society.

Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favour and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honourable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

from The Book of Common Prayer
