Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a sermon given at the consecration of St. Albans Church, published at the request of the Bishop of Maryland and clergy present. The author uses this opportunity to expound on the concept of 'association', as presented by the book of Exodus and further developed in the book by referencing both natural phenomena and historical events. This concept posits that places can indeed be imbued with memories and significance, owing to events that have occurred in those places. This is tied to the idea that the act of consecrating the church is not an arbitrary one, but rather a practice steeped in history and meaningful actions. By associating the consecrated space with holy and meaningful actions, the author argues, these places then take on a special significance.
