Thursday Evenings at All Hallows (July 2, 2026) Is Now Online

Welcome to Thursday Evenings at All Hallows.

We do not know the names of the first Christians who practiced their faith in Britannia, what the Romans called Great Britain and the province that they established in the southern two-thirds of the island. Nor do we know where they gathered and under what circumstances. What we do know is that in the third century the early Church Father Origen recorded in his writings that the influence of Christianity in the island had spread beyond the Roman province. We also know that three British bishops and a number of their clergy attend the Council of Arles in 314. Anglicans, Episcopalians, and Methodists (and Baptists, Congregationalists, Presbyterians and other Christian groups too) can count what Church historians call the Celtic Church as a part of their early Christian heritage.

In this Thursday evening’s message, we examine Romans 15:22-33 for what we can learn from that part of Paul’s letter to the Christian community at Rome and consider how we can apply it to our own life and witness as Christians.

Readings: Nehemiah 7:73b-8:18; Romans 15:22-33

Message: A Journey Not Made, A Plan Unfulfilled
