WELCOME TO ALL HALLOWS
and things that go bump in the night
“Are you planning anything for Hallowe’en this year?”
“O yes. We spend a fortune on costumes for the kids – and another fortune on candy for kids who come to our door”
“Have you any idea why?”
“Er, no ….. It’s a bit of fun, isn’t it?”
“Would you like to know what it’s really all about – Hallowe’en, and All Saints the next day, and All Souls the day after that? – and what it all has to say about Death and life-after-death and Purgatory and Paradise?”
“Er, well …..”
“Good, then put 11 AM, Sunday, October 28 on your calendar, and come and hear Richard Somerset-Ward trying to explain it – or, at any rate, thinking out loud about it”

Choral Evensong
2018-10-28 17:00 - 18:00 UTC | St. Luke’s, 182 Main Street, Gladstone, NJ, 07934, United States
A traditional Anglican service of Choral Evensong will be held on Sunday, October 28th at 5pm. Evensong offers an hour of music, reflection, and prayer for the evening following an historic liturgy from the Church of England, originating with Thomas Cranmer in 1549 and revised in 1662. The service is filled with beautiful choral music and hymns sung by the semi-professional St. Luke’s Choir directed by Dr. Brian Harlow. The October 28th Evensong features the music of New Jersey native and Pingry School graduate Alfred Fedak. Mr. Fedak’s anthem “Unless the Lord Build the House” was written for the centenary of St. Luke’s Church and first performed on October 17th, 1999. His Bristol Pieces and Responses were composed for the choir of Christ Church in Short Hills for their residency at Bristol Cathedral in 2016.

The Just War – Is there such a thing? At 11 AM on Sunday, November 4 (the week before Remembrance Sunday) Richard Somerset-Ward will take up the cudgels in the age-old argument about War – when (if ever) can it be justified for Christian peoples to take up arms? Surveying the wars of the last 100 years, he applies Jesus’ own principles in an attempt to discover which of them, if any, were “just wars”.

This session will focus on the practice of contemplative prayer as it relates to listening to God. Theological, as well as Biblical rationale will be presented in addition to practical instruction.

Public and Private Prayer
2019-03-26 18:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
(Presenter: Richard Somerset-Ward) will examine two different sorts of prayer – the prayers we pray together in church and the prayers we pray in private. Do they have equal value? Is one more powerful than the other? In particular, he examines one way that Christians have prayed for more than 1800 years – a way that is known by its Latin name, lectio divina, divine reading. Join us in Greene Hall at 6:30 PM for potluck supper and Richard’s talk, followed by small group discussions at your table.
