"Just as a pure beam of light, passing through a prism of glass or precious stone, is manifest in all the rich diversity of the colours of the spectrum, so the grace of God in Christ is manifested in all his saints, according to all the diverse facets of character and nature, according to all the diversity of the Spirit's gifts." -Robert Crouse

Our Anglican Family Camp will take place at St Anne’s Anglican Youth Camp in Annapolis
from August 3-8. We are no more organized than a rag-tag collection of families who gather for a week each summer simply to enjoy Saint Anne's camp and to share our lives as Christians who follow the ascetic discipline of the ancient and contemporary Prayer Book Tradition, described faithfully in the writings of Robert Crouse of blessed memory. The Penny in the Dust annual family camp is an informal gathering of families.
Fr George Westhaver, Principal of Pusey House, will be our Transfiguration Preacher. Fr Ranall Ingalls and Fr David Curry will guide us into the poetry of R.S. Thomas, George Herbert and Thomas Traherne.
Holy Communion will be celebrated each early morning at All Saints Church: hearty fathers and mothers can allow their children to sleep in as they swim across Gibson's Lake for their early Communion! Also at All Saints Church will be 4 PM Choral Evensong on Tuesday (the Eve of the Feast of the Transfiguration) and the 4PM Choral Eucharist on Wednesday, The Feast of the
Transfiguration. Daily Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer will be at St Anne’s, at the outdoor chapel or in the Gospel Tent. Compline each night in canoes on the water. For more information, please visit pennyinthedust.com or email pennyinthedust@gmail.com

Did you know that the annual 'Fr. Robert Crouse Seminar', now in its fifteenth year,
brings world-class theologians to Toronto for a week of teaching, designed to aid seminarians, clerics, and lay scholars in their continuing intellectual conversion to Christ?
Sponsored by the Corpus Christi Foundation, whose aim is “to preach and advance the teachings of the traditional Anglican faith and the beliefs and observances associated with that faith”, the
Crouse Seminar has been hosted since its inception by St. Thomas’s, Huron Street. All are welcome to the opening High Mass on Monday 19 May at 6:30 p.m. and the closing Choral Evensong on Thursday 22 May at 4 o’clock. This year's speaker, Prof. Sarah Coakley, will conclude the Crouse Seminar with a free public lecture at St Paul's, Bloor Street, on that Thursday, 22 May at 8 p.m., titled, "What has Desire Got to Do With Worship? God, Sex, and the Invitation to Ascetic Transformation." All are welcome to this lecture and the reception following.
Prof. Coakley will also preach at St. Thomas’s on Sunday 25 May at the 9:30 a.m. Sung Mass and the 11 o’clock High Mass, both in person and livestreamed via the link on the homepage of the parish at stthomas.on.ca.
