Global politics is in a time of profound and unsettling transition. Professor Justin Stratis preached this timely sermon in Founders’ Chapel on March 4, 2025.

Rev'd Chris Dow, Wycliffe's chaplain, unpacks a seminal moment in the history of Israel - a "significant moment of transition" as he calls it. The beauty of Dow's meditation lies in its reminder that being a Christ-follower means being rooted in community. Worship, baptism, testimony, and joy are spiritual habits that we are called to practice... in community. Their orientation of us to the Living Word, Jesus Christ, happens in the context of community - the gathering of believers.

With care, and a deep love for the Anglican Church, Professor Emeritus and historian Alan L. Hayes reflects on the Church's transition through the filters of continuity and change, and ultimately points readers to the anchor through all transitions, institutional or personal: Jesus Christ Himself.

Dr Taylor offers us a nuanced account of suffering, provision, and the certainty of God's presence even in the darkest of seasons.

Professor Catherine Sider-Hamilton on the gift of the new road - that Christ Himself has made that new road His. "If I take the wings of the morning And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there your hand shall lead me, And your right hand hold me fast. (Psalm 139: 9-10)"

Sometimes transitions lead us into dark territory. Dipping into the book of Jeremiah, Professor Lissa Wray Beal offers insight into how we may all find comfort and hope, even in those transitions.
