History

The past is as inescapable as the future is inevitable. "No man is an island," wrote the Anglican priest John Donne, ". . . any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind." No more are we islands in time than are we islands in space. Our common union with Christ transcends the restrictions of time as well as those of distance; we are in communion with Him together with all those who have gone before us, and all those who are yet to be. We do not fashion a new religion for the day or the age, any more than we fashion a different one for a distant portion of the globe. Our understanding of the faith would be incomplete without an appreciation for the past, just as it would be lacking if we had no anticipation of the future.
