PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Luke Miller is Archdeacon of London. He first came across Fr Congreve picking up an old book when at St Stephen’s House, Oxford, which was the Mission House of the Cowley Fathers.
Luke Miller has rescued from relative obscurity one of the most significant Anglican theologians of the last 150 years. His reach was considerable, and he still has much to say to those with ears to hear. - Serenhedd James, Author of The Cowley Fathers The founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, to which Father Congreve belonged, believed that members of SSJE should be 'men of the moment, men precisely up to the mark of the times'. In showing Father Congreve to be a man of his moment, Luke Miller shows Father Congreve is a man of every moment, including our moment. Many of Father Congreve's concerns, the wonders and beauty of creation, racial justice, aging, are concerns echoed by numerous people today. By looking at the issues of his day through a particular Christian lens, Father Congreve can help us look at our concerns today through a similar lens, and ground our concerns about creation, racial equality, and aging in the Christian doctrines of Creation and the Incarnation. - James Koester SSJE, Superior, Society of St John the Evangelist Luke Miller has done a great service to the Church at this time by recalling the witness and teaching of so significant an Anglican spiritual father. In the words of Father Congreve himself: 'The rediscovery of the consecrated life of self-sacrifice brings us a steady light of hope.' - Douglas Dales
