An Ancient Worship Movement invites readers into the rich, historic worship of the early Church rediscovered through the Anglican tradition. This book calls believers into a deeper, Spirit-filled encounter with Christ through timeless practices.

The re-evangelism of post Christian western culture is one of the mandates of St. Thomas Church. Liturgical Churches were the formation of Christian culture in the west with historical creeds of the Church. Many are looking for this substance and foundation of what early Christians believed and died for in the pre-Constantine era. This dependence on early Church disciplines and practices that have stood the test of time which have been carried on by Apostles and bishops gives us confidence that we are perpetuating the ancient faith (Jude 1:3).
