While River Devereux’s recent article “Anglicanism and Nicaea II” makes a good point here and there, it also embodies an unhistorical and cognitively dissonant approach to the Church’s first millennium. The so-called “classical Anglican” position on the Ecumenical Councils — accepting only the first four as authoritative — might be more plausible if it did…
From Charlemagne to the Homilies: An Addendum to Mr. Devereux I was delighted to see Mr. Devereux’s recent article on Anglican rejection of Nicea II as enshrined in our 16th century formularies. I take his article to be the knock-out punch of an intellectual opponent I myself have buffeted for some time. To extend…

During my time as an undergrad and immediately afterward, I was leading a quite superficial, materialistic life in the industry. Living the pursuit of happiness, if you will. Making money, having fun, but not feeling…
