After many years of writing & editing, I can finally offer my Anglican introduction to Scripture, the sacraments, and Christian living. It's free for download to any churches that wish to have a course for study groups.

A hard piece to write. But it's conversation we need to start having. We need to recognise the cost to our ecclesiology of even necessary policies and procedures. Thanks to @OSacrumCorIesu for getting me thinking.

A longer piece for my Well-Tempered today. But it's not everyday one is appointed an archdeacon!

The money quote from @George_Osborne on today's @PoliticalCurre1, describing the AI conference in Scotland: "like the one convened by the Pope, only by the Head of our own Church." 😂
Well-Tempered now has subscribers from 47 U.S. States. I'm looking at you Alaska, Montana, and Delaware. 🇺🇸

What if we stopped treating stipendiary and SSM clergy as different kinds of priesthood. My reflection on Save the Parish, giving, and the future of parish ministry.

One of my most cherished memories is of spending a couple of hours with him on his front porch setting the world to rights. I shall miss his voice and wisdom.
"A Christian community can’t live on jam, any more than a man can. The Lord didn’t write that we were the honey of the earth, my boy, but the salt."
A wonderful gem by the curé of Torcy in Bernanos' moving Diary of a Country Priest.

I found a list of Anglican worthies I created for my students at Cranmer Hall. I offer it to my readers, along with why I think them well worth reading. Who did I leave off? Who wouldn't you include?

Whenever the young Samuel Johnson was depressed, he would walk to Birmingham
Søren Kierkegaard on the Importance of Walking
“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”
