Fall Zoom series with the Rev’d Alexandra Pohlod 

When we pray the Litany in church (BCP p. 30), we ask to be delivered from, among other things, heresy, false doctrine and schism. But what are these heresies, lies and deep divisions that are so bad that we need to be protected from them? Why have they been the cause of such controversy throughout the ages? And why do they continue to figure in our prayers? St. Olave’s Assistant Curate Rev’d Alexandra discussed several of the major heresies and the role they played in shaping the Creeds, the Articles of Religion, and our teaching today. View the talks below.
