I can trthfully say the St James' reading came as if for the first time. I can't remember having either heard or read it before. Teachers are to have a severe judgement. This a straight forward message. Jesus will protect our Church , even to the end of time. Today false teachers are legion. Their tongues are the devil's spreading falsehood without respect for God or Man. What good does it do to a man to tell him that sinful fornication is a product of this day and age when God has told us that it is sinful behaviour. Of course God is merciful but he requires our penitence, our cooperation for his Mercy to act. 

The Transfiguratoin is the Glory of God. It is witnessed but it is not proclaimed . The resurrection is the Glory of God. It is not witnessed but it is proclaimed. There are very few examples of a "secret teaching" by our Rabbi. Jesus' teaching is not a Gnostic onion being revealed layer by layer. Jesus speaks to all men directly just as all men can speak to Abba, Dad who is in heaven. Our clergy are our teachers and leaders of liturgical worship but Father Son and Holy Spirit know me and all of us directly as a Soul created in Love for Love and to practise Love in this world and to find Eternal Love in the eternal Glory of the Kingdom.

Dear Lord let my tongue be controlled, let my heart be opened let my sins be scourged and let me do your will today. Mary Mother you know the weakness of humanity, gather the Saints to bring the grace of holiness and common sense into the hearts and minds of our teachers that they may not fail in their God-given duty to open the way to heaven.
