In this second episode of our ABCs of Anglicanism mini-series, we explore one of the most important—and often misunderstood—tools in the Anglican tradition: The Book of Common Prayer.

We’ll dive into its origins, why it matters, and how it continues to shape the daily worship and spiritual life of millions of Christians around the world. Plus, we’ll talk about Thomas Cranmer—the poet-theologian behind the BCP—and how his bold vision and sacrifice still echo in our liturgies today.

Whether you’re a lifelong Anglican or just Anglican-curious, this episode will help you understand why this “little red book” is so much more than a church prop. It’s a way of life.

It’s been six months since we moved to Florida to join The Table Church. In this episode, we reflect on the highs, the challenges, and the sacred ordinary of neighborhood life, toddler chaos, and learning to settle in a new place.

But we also dive into something most church planters dread… fundraising. From diocesan training to asking both believers and nonbelievers for support, we talk about what surprised us, how God showed up, and why we’re actually grateful for the process.
