INDEPENDENCE DAY - July 4

INDEPENDENCE DAY - July 4.

From Episcopalians for Traditional Faith

The Collect.

O ETERNAL God, through whose mighty power our fathers won their liberties of old; Grant, we beseech thee, that we and all the people of this land may have grace to maintain these liberties in righteousness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. -- The 1928 Book of Common Prayer

The following is adapted from a July 4 sermon by The Rev. Jerome F. Politzer, retired rector of St. John's Chapel in Monterey, California. St. John's, an Episcopal church, uses the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Fr. Politzer serves on the advisory council of Episcopalians for Traditional Faith.
