Notes from the Rector's Desk

An Anglican Theology of the Body

Bishop Stuart Ruch on Human Sexuality

On Friday evening, April 16 and Saturday morning, April 17, Bishop Stuart Ruch of the ACNA Diocese of the Upper Midwest (based in Wheaton, Illinois) visited the Hillsdale College campus and offered some constructive teaching on human sexuality at the request of the Anglican Student Fellowship. The talks were well attended by a wide representation of the campus Christian community, including evangelical Protestants and Roman Catholics.

​On Friday evening, he spoke on the deeper prevailing spiritual realities that have led to so much confusion about human sexuality in our current culture. In particular, the bishop noted the deep parallels between modern notions of "self" and its relationship with our inherent materiality and the ancient error of Gnosticism, and how the doctrine of the Incarnation challenges both the same way.

On Saturday morning over breakfast, he and his wife Katherine provided a more focused teaching on God's purposes for marriage more generally, and his intent that husbands and wives be fruitful with each other more specifically. This powerful presentation focused on childbearing as an exercise of discipleship, and explored the ways the Anglican tradition in particular has dealt with the issue of family planning (with a quick look at the fateful 1920 and 1930 Lambeth Conferences).

Liturgy as Evangelist:
​the Book of Common Prayer and the Gospel

Lecture presented at Hillsdale College on February 23, 2021
as part of a series on the "Sunday Liturgy" hosted by Catholic Society
In this lecture, Fr. Adam looks at the Holy Communion service in the Book of Common Prayer (1662 edition of the Church of England) to explore how the liturgy is specifically designed to take worshippers through the subjective experience of encountering the gospel. The liturgy encompasses the whole sweep of salvation from the first awareness of sin to the reception of God's utterly free grace to repair it offered in the Lord's Supper.
Handout: Orders Compared, and the 1662 Anaphora
