The Voice of the early Church about 130 AD.

Here are quotations from an early Christian document "Mathetes - Epistle to Diogentus" which was written around 130 AD. Enjoy our early faith!

The Celebration of the Holy Eucharist in 155 A.D.

Here is a letter from St. Justin Martyr in 155 A.D. describing the weekly Christian liturgy of the Early Church. Anyone familiar with the service from our Book of Common Prayer and the Catholic Mass, and therefore the Eucharist, will immediately recognize that this is the way we worship.  It is the way of the early Christians and the way that Jesus Christ intends His Church to worship.  Enjoy the root of our liturgical life!
