New book: A Spiritual Life for Anyone by Bishop Thomas Gore

The Most Revd. Dr. Thomas Gore of the Apostolic Episcopal Church and the Catholicate of the West has written a manual on how to begin a life in the spirit, from his experience as a psychiatrist and a bishop, presenting the reader with a scientific understanding of the brain, a psychological understanding of the mind, and a theological understanding of the spirit or soul.

Unlike many modern-day psychiatrists, Dr. Gore believes in the importance of the immaterial soul and mind in human life, and in a holistic way presents the union  between soul, mind, and the body’s brain.  He stresses how good mental health is impossible without spiritual health, and how the latter depends on a life of prayer.  In chapter after chapter, he shows the way prayer works in the spiritual life.

In the book’s Foreword, Archbishop John Kersey, says, “Dr. Gore addresses the integration of body, mind and soul not only through theory but through practical action, so that a path is clear for the reader to begin or continue their exploration of the spiritual life. The key is the decision that a person makes to turn to God. The guidance offered in this book will enable the start to be made, and provide encouragement through a sound Scriptural basis to seek and find God and to enjoy the richness of a life that He has blessed.”

The book is priced at $18.50, with all profits going to fund scholarships for the AEC Seminary and can be purchased through the online store at  tumbleweedbotanicals.com.

Apostolic Episcopal Church Relief Fund

The Apostolic Episcopal Church Relief Fund has been established in response to the recent tornado damage in the town of Purvis, Mississippi, USA. Its charitable efforts are targeted very specifically at financial assistance in paying motel expenses for needy families who have lost the “roof over their heads”.  No money will be dispersed to individuals, just to ‘economy’ motels, especially those who offer weekly rates.

The Anglican Heritage Society, the ministry of the Apostolic Episcopal Church in Dallas, Texas, which is a registered 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit corporation, will be the administrator of the Apostolic Episcopal Church Relief Fund. The Society has made an initial donation of $1,000 to inaugurate the fund.

Our goal is to: 1) ease the financial stress involved in securing temporary housing; and 2) to support displaced families with our intercessory prayers, regardless of their religious affiliation. The postal address of the Apostolic Episcopal Church Relief Fund in care of the Anglican Heritage Society is: 4711 Amherst Street. Lubbock, Texas 79416. All gifts are tax deductible, when designated as charitable contributions to, “The AHS for Relief Fund.”
