American Protestant churches suffer from what historian Sidney Mead calls 'a kind of historylessness'. There is a window into this neglected past through the saints of the Church. During a six week 'Festival of Saints', a local United Methodist Church studied five saints: John of Damascus, Francis of Assisi, Martin Luther, Mary McLeod Bethune and C. S. Lewis. Each week the Sunday worship centered around the saint and the appropriate part of the tradition. The same model could work for almost any combination of Christian heroes and heroines which emphasizes the depth and breadth of the 'Communion of Saints'.
