Yesterday, the thirteenth Sunday
after Pentecost, is sometimes called,
in the Anglican church, Ephphatha
Sunday, because the story of the heal
ing of the deaf and dumb man by
Christ is told in the Gospel for the
day. On this Sunday collections are
taken in many churches for the work
of the church among the deaf.
