From the Very Reverend Richard Humphrey, Dean of Hobart,<\/p>\n
Dear Friends<\/p>\n
You have shown an interest in the part of the homily that I read at the Nine Lessons and Carols Service<\/em> on Christmas Eve at the Cathedral.<\/p>\n
The part I read from was the final section of AN HOMILY OF THE NATIVITY AND BIRTH OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST<\/a>, from Homilies Appointed to Be Read in Churches, Second Book, Homily xii<\/em>.<\/p>\n
Read here the text of THE HOMILIES in the modern spelling version <\/a>and the version for those who prefer Elizabethan<\/a>!<\/p>\n
As you may know I have been doing some research on Archbishop Thomas Cranmer and his understanding of the Christian Faith.\u00a0 A good understanding can be found in Homilies 1 (On Scripture), 3 (On Salvation), 4 (On Faith), 5 (On Good Works) all of which Cranmer wrote for the 1547\u00a0 Book of Homilies (Now known as the Former or First Book).<\/p>\n
