In 1880, Frances Rossetti turned eighty. In honour of her birthday, the poet Christina Rossetti gave her mother a copy of David Main’s Treasury of English Sonnets, embellished with a hand-written sonnet of her own and an illuminated sonnet by her painter-poet brother, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. With their dual English/Italian heritage, the Rossetti siblings were proficient sonneteers themselves.

“The Gospel loops and swirls in a heavenly helix through every strand of Lutheran DNA. It is in the blood. The word “evangelical” originated with the Lutheran Church. Lutherans claimed it first. In Germany, the Lutheran Church was historically called the “Evangelische Kirche”, the Evangelical (that is, Lutheran) Church. Lutherans were evangelical before it was cool. The word comes from the Greek word (“evangelion”) for “good news” or “Gospel”. Although it is now an evangellyfish buzzword, evangelical originally meant proclamation of the Gospel. An evangelical church confesses the Gospel of Jesus Christ.“— from #BeingLutheran by A. Trevor Sutton #CPH #ConcordiaPublishingHouse • • • Finally getting around to reading this book.
