Cradle of Prayer

Published by Mark at 1:01 am

I’ve already added it to the list of links on the right, under Resources, but I wanted to specifically draw your attention to a site I was shown today: Cradle of Prayer. The website is posting daily professional recordings of the Anglican lectionary. They are the Morning and Evening Prayer services from the 1928 Book [...]

Ash Wednesday

Published by Mark at 10:24 am

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made, and dost forgive the sins of all those who are penitent; Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through [...]

Sin and Justification

Published by Mark at 1:23 pm

Reading this: The piety and devotion of Augustine is largely unquestioned by Orthodox theologians, but his conclusions on the Atonement are (Romanides, 2002). Augustine, by his own admission, did not properly learn to read Greek and this was a liability for him. He seems to have relied mostly on Latin translations of Greek texts (Augustine, [...]

The Political Theology of an Anglican Romantic

Published by Nathan at 8:03 am

Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s day was an era of tumult and change: the end of the Napoleonic wars left a new conservative order on the continent, orchestrated by the skillful Austrian count Metternich, but it was a new order terrified into conservatism as Europe had been shoved off a sheer Alpine cliff by Revolution and Bonapartism, only in [...]

The New Province

Published by Nathan at 9:57 am

This past week something truly unprecedented occurred in Anglican history. There are now two provinces of the Anglican communion that overlap territorially: The Episcopal Church of the United States of America (ECUSA) and the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). For those of you interested in the Anglican Way, you have probably followed these developments [...]

High Church Conservatism

Published by Mark at 2:30 pm

I meant to post this awhile ago, but seem to have forgotten. So here it is, an excellent article by Daniel McCarthy in The American Conservative, “What would Burke do?” Excerpt: For the low church conservative, politics is teleocratic—a purpose-driven activity. In the language of British philosopher Michael Oakeshott (very much a high church type), [...]

Prayers Are Needed

Published by Mark at 12:41 pm

 For the Church. O GRACIOUS Father, we humbly beseech thee for thy holy Catholic Church; that thou wouldest be pleased to fill it with all truth, in all peace. Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where in any thing it is amiss, reform it. Where it is right, [...]
