Piety Hill Musings

The ramblings of the Rector of St. John's Episcopal Church of Detroit. Piety Hill refers to the old name for our neighborhood. The neighborhood has changed a great deal in the over 160 years we have been on this corner (but not our traditional biblical theology) and it is now known for the neighboring theatres, the professional baseball and football stadiums and new hockey/basketball arena.

Opportunities in Lent and Holy Week 2014

The Blessed Sacrament
Our Lord’s Sacramental Presence

As Christians in the Anglican Tradition, we have a particular emphasis on our Lord’s Presence in the Blessed Sacrament.
