About This Book

The volume presents five sermons in which the preacher reflects on the Church's identity, sacramental life, and apostolic continuity while addressing public and ecclesial occasions. One sermon situates the Church within national memory at a civic centennial; others report on missionary progress in diverse overseas fields, combining historical anecdote with calls for sacrifice, prayer, and practical support. An address to an international church assembly considers relations among churches and shared responsibility. Across the collection the tone is exhortatory and pastoral, urging consecration of resources and active participation in evangelistic and pastoral work.
