E-MINDER: the Church of the Incarnation

← PREVIOUS EMINDER | NEXT EMINDER →

THE WEEK OF SEPT. 30 – OCT. 7, 2007

This Saturday, the church remembers William Tyndale: priest, scholar, and martyr (1536).  Tyndale is responsible for the first scholarly translation of the entire New Testament, and portions of the Old Testament, into the English language.

Almighty God, you planted in the heart of your servant William Tyndale a consuming passion to bring the Scriptures to people in their native tongue, and endowed him with the gift of powerful and graceful expression and with strength to persevere against all obstacles: Reveal to us your saving Word, as we read and study the Scriptures, and hear them calling us to repentance and life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
