CANONSBURG, Pennsylvania — Archbishop Metropolitan Ernest A. Ross of the Anglican Church
Worldwide issues the following message for the New Year on January 1, 2019. “Happy New Year! We thank God for bringing us safely and graciously to another year. Now we must put the old behind us and look forward to the new. A time of fresh starts bringing new opportunities for God to use us in the furtherance of His Kingdom, a time of of new blessings and expectations,”. “On New Year’s Day, January 1, the Anglican Church Worldwide celebrates the Circumcision of Jesus, which the Lord instituted as a sign of His Covenant with mankind, Christ also received the Name Jesus [Savior] on the Octave [eighth day] after His birth as an indication of His service, which is the work of the salvation of the world. Both His Circumcision and Naming should serve to remind Christians that we have entered into a New Covenant with God and “are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ” [Col 2:11]. It is a sign of the Christian's entrance into a new life and relationship with God. Knowing this we should therefore trust God and seek His glory in everything as we submit ourselves to the faithful fulfillment of all His divine ordinances, trusting that He shall “work all things together for good, to those who love the Lord and are the called according to His purposes” [Rom 8:28]. 2018 was a challenging year for both our nation and our Church, we were witness to political unrest, spiritual crisis, and the abuse and senseless slaughter of our fellow man. As tragic as these things are they should not dishearten us or dissuade us from our mission, rather they should inspire us to recognize just how much the world needs God! The idea that Christ humbled Himself and submitted to His Father's will in circumcision offers a wonderful example for our year ahead. We must immerse ourselves in God’s love and respond to His presence and grace by doing His will and by bringing His love and light to others. I admonish you to share how God is working in your life with those around you and resolve to let God shape your heart to be a more generous and loving people. With eyes of faith and a hope-filled heart, you will know God’s presence in your daily life and it will bring you blessings and peace. “May this new year be a time of commitment, courage, and renewal. Be always assured of our love and prayers that 2019 will be a year full of blessing and joy, for you, for your loved ones, and for the Church worldwide” God bless you as you impact the world for Him!
