Legatum: Volume One

WELCOME to the inaugural edition of Legatum, a publication of the contemplative order of The Sons of the Holy Cross (SHC), a ministry within the Anglican Church in North America. SHC was launched in the Diocese of the Anglican Network in Canada in 2016, with the induction of the founders – Richard Roberts, Terry Lamb, and Ron Dart. Since that time, this movement has become international in scope and appeal.
The Order exists to draw together Anglican men (and those from other Christian traditions) into a prayerful and contemplative vision and practice of faith, in a culture and time when many are too busy to be still, and know God. The framework of contemplative prayer, meditative readings of the Bible and Classical Christian Literature (with lectio divina as a guide), gracious service in the church and world, evangelism, and interior openness to the sacramental life of faith are foundational to the Order. Sons of the Holy Cross seek to be conscious and open to God’s work in their lives, and responsive to the instruction and leading of God’s Spirit.
In the pages of this periodical you will find an assortment of articles, ranging from personal to politic. It is our hope that the readers will find this labour stimulating and instructional.
