Brave, faithful
and eccentric
HAPPY SAINTS
In the Anglican Communion, the communion of saints includes everyone who has tried or is trying to follow the teachings of Christ.
Anglican Feast Days celebrate men and women for their bravery, insights, contributions, and faith. And their happiness. It is wonderful how happy they were. They were social reformers, poets and scientists, evangelists, and MPs, mystics, missionaries, scholars, kings and constitutional reformers. A list of Anglican saints with our links:
