Fellowship with God

by William Temple
William Temple (1881 – 1944) was a distinguished Anglican churchman, who served as a lecturer of philosophy at Oxford, Headmaster of Repton, Bishop of Manchester, Archbishop of York, and Archbishop of Canterbury, a position earlier held by his father Frederick.

This collection, published in 1920, contains the following sermons:

III. “Inasmuch”
IV. The Essence of Idolatry
V. The Eternal God
VI. All Saints’ Day
VII. The Comforter
VIII. The Work of the Comforter
IX. The Exalted Christ and the Coming of the Spirit
X. The Spirit and the World
XI. The Holy Spirit and the Blessed Trinity
XII. God’s Call to the Church
XIII. Priesthood
XIV. The Christian Sacrifice
XV. More Than Conquerors
XVI. The Peace of God
XVII. Triumphant Sacrifice
XVIII. Other Worldliness

"However we may express it, the kernel of Christian experience is what S. Paul expresses by his repeated phrase 'In Christ'," writes Temple. "To problem after problem he applies the same solution. We are in Christ; He has taken possession of us so completely that whatever is true of Him is true of us also. Has He suffered the death-penalty due to sin? Then so have we. Has He risen from that death to life indissoluble? Then so have we. Is He enthroned in the heavenly sphere? Then so are we. We do not have to win our ascent from earth to heaven; it has been won for us. Our citizenship is in heaven—now. Our part is not to find the way there, but being there, to live worthily of our station."
