Tract X – The Word of God and The People of God
While some of my Tracts for the Times 2.0 have been more academic (especially the ones on English church history), my goal in the Tracts on Anglican spirituality is, at least in part, to provide brief but substantial works on topics essential to an understanding of Anglican spirituality. While much of the material in these…

Announcing “No Other Foundation: Essays on Women’s Ordination in the Anglican Church”
For some in the Anglican faith, the topic of the ordination of women to holy orders is a long-settled one. However, for those of us in the ACNA, like all of our editors, it is an ever-present conversation, dominating matters of ecclesiology and communion. All parties have agreed that “dual-integrities” means a house built upon…
Migrations
At dawn, the cranes that slept along the margins of the lake begin to stretch their wings and murmur. Mist ascends around our rowboat. Then in sudden clamor they splash and rise, trumpet across the sky to feast on corn before their long trip south. The sun lifts, silent, from the east. And now the…
Living Death: An Ecclesial Apostasy
Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.” Matthew 8:22 “I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for…
Stumbling Upon Akeldama in Winter
Empty lot: cursed soil burned black by the raging fires of summer sun, parched as a dead man’s lips. Yet winter rains bring thick skin of green, the moist breath of grasses, the fluttering heartbeat of insect wings, and their echoing hymn: Nothing dead must stay that way. Morning light brings night’s decay.

Confession Has a Home in Canterbury
Rediscovering the Anglican treasure of auricular confession with the Oxford Movement I. Introduction When one hears the phrase “the Tracts,” the mind moves right away to the famous Tracts of the Times written by the men of the Oxford Movement, but Anglican evangelicals penned their own series of tracts. In these evangelical tracts, one…
The Relative Positions of the Presider, Table, and Assembly at Communion Part III
Presiding from the North Side of the Table The 1662 Prayer Book prescribes that the priest preside from the north side of the table. Though it was the universal Anglican practice from the Restoration until the mid-nineteenth century, north side presidency is little known among Anglicans today.[1] Considering its general obscurity, I will explore the…
The Clergyman and the Prayer Book
This piece is taken from “To My Younger Brethren: Chapters on Pastoral Life and Work” written in 1902 by Handley Moule, at the time the Bishop of Durham. Moule was one of the leaders of the “Evangelical” party alongside J.C. Ryle, what today we might call “Old Low Church,” although by the standards of modern…
