A Word from the Clergy
Trinity Sunday
By the Right Reverend Dean Wolfe, Rector
Dear Friends,
This coming Sunday is Trinity Sunday; the first Sunday after Pentecost in the Church’s liturgical calendar. Trinity Sunday celebrates the Christian doctrine of the Trinity; the three Persons of God; the Father, (the Creator) the Son, (the Redeemer) and the Holy Spirit, (the Sustainer.) It’s one of seven principal feasts in the Church Year and the only major feast day devoted to a doctrine rather than to a person or an event. It’s an important enough concept for the 1982 Hymnal to offer ten hymns in the section on the Holy Trinity, including “Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!”, “Come, Thou Almighty King” and “Holy Father, Great Creator.”
