I guess I will comment more in detail in the speech that the Archbishop of Canterbury gave at the Gregorian Pontifical University . It is a rather long speech and is worth some detailed looks. I think Father at Standing On My Head has a good post that sort of gets to the core it thought. See Cracks in the Foundation . He says in part: The Archbishop defended women's ordination and argued that more...
The Pope is to waive his own rules so he can preside in person over the beatification of Cardinal John Henry Newman during the papal visit to Britain next year, the Daily Mail reports. In an unprecedented decision, Benedict XVI will take charge of the ceremony which will confer the title “Blessed” on the Victorian convert from Anglicanism. The Pope has previously insisted that all beatifications...
Cranmer never thought he would write that, but credit where it’s due. The Archbishop of Canterbury appears to have (re-)discovered a (slight) Protestant streak, even if his rebuke to Pope Benedict was cushioned with ecumenical pleasantries, concealed by conciliatory overtures and couched in some of his trademark dense theological verbiage. His speech/lecture/sermon/six theses , that he nailed...
John Allen blogs on National Catholic Reporter about the myopia of both his Roman Catholic tradition and many Christians in deciding what really matters to the ordinary faithful. He compares our way of understanding the religious world to the way...
It's been observed that the gap between the Anglican Church and Catholicism is not wide but deep. The Archbishop of Canterbury's speech at the Gregorian Pontifical University uncovered the real depth of the divide. The Archbishop defended women's ordination and argued that more unites the two churches than divides them. He said issuess that are not of the 'first order' should not be points of division...
Archbishop of Anglicanism's address at an unused and available ex-Woolworths Store in Rome on Friday 20 November 2009 It is not lacking in pleasure that I am hearing to speak on anything but the situation in Uganda, for which I have lost my considerable probable erudite tongue, so may I suggest that I retail a tale of the Incarnation and going shopping as a matter of not inconsiderable interest to...
My hyper-links failedv to work, sorry you can find your way to Fr.Ivan and Fr Hunwicke, just Google 'Bokk of divine Worship' for the other one and then open the 'Church of the Atonement' page. Sorry. Fr Ivan has linked an interview with Cardinal Kaspar, this is it . The Cardinal, once more seems to be indicating that the Roman Catholic authorities view the Book of Divine worship is seen in Rome as...
Advent is just around the corner; Christmas is on the horizon. A few days ago my wife was casting a professional eye (ear?) over the musical programme for the Nine Lessons and Carols here and, as one now does, for a source of inspiration, had a quick look at the recordings from Kings Cambridge on You Tube . Listening to the beauty of the music, set off by the soaring architecture and the colours of...
I believe that you have acted wisely in not deserting the Church of your Baptism and Confirmation for another obedience. In my experience there is nothing to which a Christian can legitimately aspire in any other communion that is not implicit in the Church of the Augsburg Confession. If, at a particular time or in a particular place, that which he seeks is not explicit, it may be that God has called...
It has emerged that a US clergyman, who was suffering from a crippling spinal condition, was cured after he prayed to a 19th Century Birmingham theologian. Deacon Jack Sullivan, 71, revealed that after he was diagnosed with severe spinal disc and vertebrae deformities, a condition, which left him “bent double”, and in “excruciating pain”, he began [...]
(H/T Fulcrum News) Walter Kasper clears up some confusion in the minds of journalists and of critics of Benedict's offer to Anglicans ... Jim Packer is as sagacious as ever , from the ending of Mark's Gospel through the brilliance of C.S. Lewis to unpicking the difficulties of Canadian Anglicanism ...
The Newman Cause website has posted what is, in essence, a response to the Tablet 's recent editorial about the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum coetibus . Those who have seen my earlier posts ( here , here , here and here ) on this subject will realise that I have reservations about the provisions of the Apostolic Constitution. To an extent, these reservations are about the substance of the provisions...
For some time now, Technorati has been a bit of a byword among blog ranking services: slow, erratic, past its best etc., with the only possible advantage being that it shows who's linked to your blog in the last 90 days or so (contrast with Alexa, which purports to show 'links in' but may as well show the recipe for Crab and Toenail soup for all the accuracy this has). In October '09, they did a big...
A fertile society is an energetic and resourceful one, and we must beware of being pessimistic about the problems of population The question: Are we to selfish to survive? I am instinctively pro-natalist: I am always pleased to hear that someone is having a baby, and always sad when told that someone has chosen not to do so. I also think big families are terrific – there is a richness of narrative...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) –Episcopal Church leaders in Los Angeles on Sunday nominated an openly gay priest and an openly lesbian priest as bishops in a move sure to ratchet up tensions in the global Anglican Communion.
