Anglican Preaching: Catholic and Reformed
Second language learners of English are often struck by the arcana of pronunciation (such as the legion of ways that the cluster “ough” can be vocalized), the subtleties of vocabulary connotation, and the vestigial remains of the Indo-European case and conjugation system. Behind much of the difficulty of acquiring a native facility with English lies…
A Case for Singing the Psalms
Since I was a child, the psalms have been a part of my devotional life. My mother read us a psalm and chapter of Proverbs every day before school. When I was old enough to do my devotions privately, I continued the practice. In my sophomore year of high school, I wrote a pop/rock setting…
Who admits to membership in the Anglican Communion?
A communiqué from this week’s primatial gathering in Canterbury addressed the status of the Anglican Church in North America thus: The consideration of the required application for admission to membership of the Communion of the Anglican Church of North America was recognised as properly belonging to the Anglican Consultative Council. The Primates recognise that such…
The 39 Articles Project – Article 1
There is but one living and true God, everlasting, without body, parts, or passions; of infinite power, wisdom, and goodness; the Maker, and Preserver of all things both visible and invisible.

GAFCON — Through the Eyes of a Bishop’s Wife
The Lord’s hand was at work in a very powerful way as I watched the plans of the Lord unfold for GAFCON. I saw up close several of those who had been asked to be on the planning committee. I saw the Lord work through His people. Many moved to prayer and others used to…
Lambeth 2008 – A Retrospect

He gave five addresses at the opening retreat. He gave a welcoming address, three presidential addresses, closing the conference with one in which he articulated an agenda for…
The 39 Articles Project – Article 2
The Son, which is the Word of the Father, begotten from everlasting of the Father, the very and eternal God, and of one substance with the Father, took Man’s nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin, of her substance: so that two whole and perfect Natures, that is to say, the Godhead and Manhood,…
A Bishop’s Reflection on Lambeth, Canterbury, and GAFCON
Brethren! I am pleased to read various opinions and thoughts on the on-going issues concerning our faith and the Church, especially in the Anglican Communion with respect to Canterbury and Lambeth, and GAFCON in Jerusalem. I do hope that many of you are taking time to read, hear, and watch TV & internet news regarding the Lambeth conference….
Branded or Baptized?
From the outside, liturgical churches often seem out of touch. With the world filled with terrorists, the stock market plunging, the future uncertain, liturgical churches spend time perfecting their prayer books, revising their rubrics, honing their hymnals, and solving arcane sacramental puzzles. Even from the inside, this often seems a waste of precious energy. Who…
Called to Catechize
The quickest way to introduce what I hope to get across in this article is to explain how I came to want to write it. So, with advance apologies for my narcissistic natter, here goes. It seems to me that there never was a time when I did not want to teach, or know how…
