Sailing the Last Voyage with Newton and Pascal
Significant movements and trends in both history in general and the church in particular tend to be long term. That's one reason why Evangelicals have been skunked by their opponents: the Evangelicals are in a hurry for the Lord's return and their opponents are playing, more or less, the long game. Such it is with …

From William Palmer Ladd's Prayer Book Interleaves: The Church of England had its Prayer Book, and thus the liturgical way of life was kept alive. But when in the XVIII century, the heyday of the Whig bishops, the easy-going parsons, and the infrequent Eucharists, a prophet arose in the person of John Wesley, the Church …

I never thought I'd ever see a debate on the subject of the inerrancy of Scriptures in an Anglican context. But one Dr. Scot McKnight, Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary and (I think) in the C4SO (the usual source of trouble in the ACNA these days) has put himself front and centre with …

This past weekend I reposted two articles The Neoliberal Age: The Decomposition of the Self – Covenant (Part 1 of 2) and The Neoliberal Age: The Decomposition of Anglicanism – Covenant (Part 2 of 2). As some of you may suspect, the principal reason why I reposted these excellent articles is because they, at last, …

Below is an interesting artefact: the bookplate of the Rev. Frederic S. Fleming (1886-1956,) Rector of Trinity Wall Street from 1932 to 1951. The book it came from was The Divine Liturgy by Herbert Luckock, which I reviewed here. Given his High Church inclination, I'm sure it was a favourite. His signature in the book …

My last year in Church School was in sixth grade, after which I "graduated," first into youth choir and then as an acolyte. For that final year our teacher got the idea for us to put out a "newspaper" (the Jerusalem Daily News, obviously a take-off the Shiny Sheet) which might have been put out …

From time to time I'll present what I call "Anglican Tidbits," which are little things from the. Since North American Anglicanism has had an influx of people with little or no heritage in the Anglican world, I think it would be useful. The first one is a bulletin from Trinity Episcopal Church in New Orleans, …
