We hope you enjoy this new website as it highlights the life and ministry of three historic Anglican Churches, St. Paul’s Princeton, St. John’s Eastwood and Christ Church Oxford Centre. We are part of the Diocese of Huron with the Rt. Rev. Todd Townshend as our Bishop. Each of the churches of our parish have been serving their communities since the mid 1800’s and continue to today. We offer Anglican Worship, which comes from the Reformation and the time of King Henry VIII. We are a liturgical church whose prayers and eucharist attach us to the
historical church which grew from following Jesus after his resurrection in approximately 33 C.E. or close to 2000 years ago. Our services grow out of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) and our Book of Alternative Services (BAS). We worship with a wide variety of hymns and songs which help us to worship God and strengthen us in our daily lives.
We are part of the Anglican Communion which stretches around the world and has around 85 million members. The unique thing that ties us together is that if you enter an Anglican Church anywhere in the world you will recognize their worship even if it is in a different language. A few years ago I had the wonderful opportunity to visit our companion Diocese of Amazonia in Brazil. My wife, the Rev. Patty Dobbs Luxton and I, along with eight others from the Diocese of Huron were welcomed into peoples homes and experienced Anglican Worship in Portuguese. We had translators to assist us, but we still recognized the worship and could experience great unity with our Brazilian family of Christ. It was powerful experience.
I invite to check out our churches and experience our community of faith if you are looking for a faith community. We picked 403 as Highway is close the each of the churches.
God Bless You,
The Rev. Rob Luxton
Priest in Charge of the Anglican Parish of Oxford 403
