Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Alcuin Club once was about how to obey the rubrics of the 1662 edition of the Book of Common Prayer while Ritual Notes was intended to show one how to make the prayer book services compatible with the rubrics of the Tridentine missal. Ritual Notes was the work of folks whom one would never elsewise have heard of while some of the greatest Anglican names of the last century sat on the committee of the Alcuin Club, chief among them Charles Gore and Walter Howard Frere.<BR/>This is a small point and affects the argument of the sermon not at all, but those who follow Ritual Notes always seem ashamed of being openly Anglican and aped a Rome now almost completely vanished while those of us who followed the Alcuin Club publications to the point that they, too, fell to the modernists only wanted to be Anglicans and unashamed. We would still like to be that and believe it possible while the other seems more and more like King Ludwig's castles. We, in the words of db, do not intend "to squander . . . .(our) patrimony . . ." or any part of it which is why we are such fans of the Continuum and would like permission to link to it from our parish website as a prime example of the faith we teach and the theology which we believe.Canon Tallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182884929479435751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-46479326592734979472008-07-19T21:20:00.000-04:002008-07-19T21:20:00.000-04:00I hope db means that within Anglicanism it is stil...I hope db means that within Anglicanism it is still possible to preach the doctrines of sovereign and unconditional grace, which are less clear in Rome and Orthodoxy.<BR/>As your splendid sermon points out, this is the real issue of the parable.<BR/>LKWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-51481885363907030992008-07-19T16:06:00.000-04:002008-07-19T16:06:00.000-04:00Well, db, I can appreciate that as long as our Ort...Well, db, I can appreciate that as long as our Orthodox and Roman Catholic friends do not think we are calling their sacraments and theology "the husks which the swine did eat."

Of course, an Englishman going to Rome or Orthodoxy would not constitute a complete squandering of his patrimony, as catholic Christianity is the greater part of it, it would still unnecessarily squander some very comforting and edifying portions thereof.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, the Continuum can provide a real, true home for Anglicans who feel compelled to leave Canterbury and 815 due to recent negative developments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
