Returning to Prayer is the Only Way to Save the West
Prayer is being systematically removed from public life, from the classroom to the hospital bedside, and as a result, the West is spiritually sick. Europe is on its death knells. First, they attacked free speech, then freedom of worship and freedom of religion; now, they are arresting people for silently praying in their own heads. The enemy is gaining a foothold. The only way to turn things around is by returning to Jesus – putting Christ back into Christendom.
Fr. Calvin Robinson is a priest and TV/radio broadcaster. His show, Common Sense Crusade, addresses current events from a Christian perspective. Fr. Robinson is the most-followed priest in England and, consequently, the most-cancelled, having been fired from the Church of England, GB News, and the Conservative Party for being too outspoken about traditional Christian values.
The Boniface Award
Each year, the ACCS recognizes the actions of a Christian leader who steps forward and stands faithfully for Christian truth, goodness, or beauty against the prevailing pressure of our culture. The award is named after Boniface, an 8th-century Christian missionary in Germany who bravely cut down the sacred oak tree dedicated to a local pagan god (read his story here). We hope that recognizing such individuals with the Boniface Award will help Christendom appreciate the truth that lies within the Gospel, even when the spirit of this age rejects it.
We are pleased to announce that this year’s Boniface Award winner is Fr. Calvin Robinson. Fr. Robinson became well known after participating in a debate against gay marriage at the Oxford Union in February of 2023. He has also spoken publicly for traditional sex and gender roles and against abortion. Fr. Robinson is Anglo-Catholic, and as such his doctrinal commitments differ with the evangelical protestant doctrinal commitments of the ACCS in key areas. Nevertheless, we are happy to hold the line with him to protect the lives of the unborn and defend traditional biblical positions on sex, gender, and marriage, and we look forward to his remarks.
