                                                     The Book of the Prophet Amos 5:24

Let
justice
roll 
down 
like 
waters,  
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. 

 "There is one river of Truth which receives tributaries from every side.”  

                                        -Clement 

 who was the first "Christian to make a systematic attempt to bring the treasures of pagan culture into the 

service of the church."   

  

“Grant to your Church

                                                             to discern your Word where- 

                                    ever truth is found.” - Collect
