Theotokos: A Via Media for Anglicans on the Subject of Mary: A Via Media for Anglicans on the Subject of Mary - Paperback

by Lisa Dellavecchia (Author)

IS THE VIRGIN MARY STILL ALIVE? Why, of course she is! THEOTOKOS occupies the most uniquely precious place within the spiritual union of all living and deceased Christians. Within this COMMUNION OF SAINTS, we, together with the Faithful Departed and the BLESSED MOTHER, comprise a single MYSTICAL BODY, with Jesus Christ the Son of God as the head. But alongside JESUS, by whose perfect sacrifice God's Profound Love has bequeathed Christians SALVATION, would most Christians agree on there being one very special Saint whose FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FATHER best exemplifies how every Christian should both uplift and contribute to the well-being of the brethren more than the being of the brethren more than Mary, particularly as the Mater Dolorosa, or Mother of Sorrows? Moreover, who is more like the Blessed Virgin than one's own genuinely Christian mother? The excellent religious language of the Traditional Anglican Church provides answers to these theological questions, and DEACONESS LISA DELLAVECCHIA of TRADITIONAL ANGLICAN CHURCH OF AMERICA takes on this prayerful cause! This book is also the winter Lenten 2024 quarterly installment of The Jeremiad Christian Homestead Gazette.
