A young man complained to a priest, “Father, I won't come back to church.” When the priest asked him why, the young man replied, “I see women gossiping about each other. The man next to me fell asleep. The deacon can't read well and during the Liturgy some people are busy with…
I am VERY PLEASED to announce that The Anglican Office Book now has an online edition. The complete Office is available, in both English and Latin, as well as with some musical notation. Many thanks to @shevans02 for his work on this project. anglicanoffice.com
"If Jesus meant for us to just have the Bible, he would have invented the printing press for us."
Almighty God, give us priests: to establish the honour of thy holy Name; to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar; to give us Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament; to proclaim the faith of Jesus; to baptise and to teach the young; to tend thy sheep; to seek the lost; to give pardon…
The Anglo-Catholic should always be thinking firstly how to preserve a Western Catholic identity, and secondly how to express it in the English culture and heritage.
Eternal mercy willed the blow That gave the wounds, O Heart, to thee; That man should ever feel and know The love that suffered on the Tree.
A broad church is a convictionless church. The Catholic Revival in PECUSA was always meant to be a Gideons Army. That was prophesied in 1927 and made a reality in 1977.

“The crucifix is a distraction.” Satanic. There’s no other explanation.
Let Mary’s faithful subjects all By Christ’s dear Blood from sin made free; In tearful light to mind recall The sorrows of their Martyr Queen.
Unstoppable combo: • Anglican Office Book, 2nd Edition • Baltimore Catechism
“The splendid language of religious majesty and melodious style in which [Mattins & Evensong] were expressed made them a means of education by worship of which no Church, Catholic or Protestant, has the equivalent today.” Bouyer
There is no place for eclecticism or individual notions in liturgy. Liturgy is prayer canonized, that is, the prayer of the Church herself, as established by Canon Law, and Catholic and provincial custom. Reverence is not primarily a matter of feeling pious, but of taking pains.
A couple of days ago, an online commentator called our Communion 'the weird and ever-fragmenting continuing church in the USA.' On the contrary, the Anglican Joint Synods Churches, in full communion and spread around the world, are a living branch of the One, Holy, Catholic, and…
