THE ANGLICAN LENS
Historic Christian Theology Applied to Modern Culture & Ethics
Bloc 1: Aug 3 – Oct 23, 2026
Bloc 2: Oct 26, 2026 – Jan 23, 2027
Amendments since v2.0
- AL015 (“The Hidden Theology Inside Every Superhero Movie”) retired from Bloc 1 and moved to the Bloc 3 backlog.
- AL038B added — a new bonus episode on judgment, reward, and Ken Harrison’s A Daring Faith in a Cowardly World, seated the day after AL038 (Second Coming) so the two run as a pair without disturbing the Oct 30 – Nov 2 liturgical cluster (Reformation Day / All Saints / All Souls).
- Planted in the E005 (“Heaven”) script, Part Five, as a direct tease into this episode.
