A few weeks ago, I randomly discovered that the Archbishop of York 🇬🇧, the Most Reverend and Right Honourable
@CottrellStephen, would be visiting the United States 🇺🇸 and preaching at a local parish very close to me here in Connecticut.
Today, I had the privilege of attending the service and listening to him preach with such grace, wisdom, and humility. Not only did I have the opportunity to hear him preach live, but I also got the chance to meet him and take a photograph with him!
As someone who grew up in the Anglican Church, this was a memorable and humbling experience. It’s not every day that one gets to worship with and hear one of the most senior leaders of the Anglican Communion in person.
A truly blessed Sunday. 🙏📖
I passed through my usual route to work today and noticed this Anglican Church (belonging to Episcopal province), so I got curious and decided to check them out online.
I got home, searched for them on Google, entered their page, and to my surprise, I discovered that the Archbishop of York — one of the top Archbishops in the Church of England will be visiting in a few weeks and preaching there.
That was something I never expected to see. A whole Archbishop of York from the UK casually visiting this small (but rich 😅) town in the USA 🇺🇸
Now I’m wondering… is this one of those random moments God places in your path intentionally? 👀
Is this a sign that I should attend the service and hear the Archbishop preach live? 👀
As much as I may not fully subscribe to some of the newer directions of the Church of England, I still hold the opportunity to see and hear one of their top Archbishops preach in very high esteem.
