Today, the Episcopal Church remembers The Rev Absalom Jones:

Set us free, heavenly Father, from every bond of prejudice and fear: that, honoring the steadfast courage of your servant Absalom Jones, we may show forth in our lives the reconciling love and true freedom of the children of God, which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

It can be easy to forget that Thomas Aquinas was a bit of a maverick in his time: “Immersing himself in Aristotle’s thought, Thomas took on the very Dominican task of explaining Christian belief in a way that would resonate with disciples of Aristotle. In the 13th century, many regarded this as a radical and dangerous undertaking, and Aquinas spent much of his career skating around the edges of church approval.”
