A Lutheran Pastor on Western Orthodoxy
My stats page informed me that my blog had been linked to by a blog run by a Lutheran pastor in the US. The article in question is Must Orthodoxy be Byzantine? He refers to my earlier article – Western … Continue reading
Western Rite Russian Orthodoxy in England
I received a private e-mail to give me information about how Western Orthodoxy under the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia is developing in England. Some might want to trash it, but my own attitude is to encourage them in their … Continue reading
Western Rite Orthodoxy, a new proposition
Not a little noise has been made about The Secret to Preserving Anglicanism by Fr Anthony Bondi of the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia. I’m sure our friends Michael Frost and Dale will make much of it, and there has … Continue reading

Western Rite Orthodoxy
I republish here a somewhat dated article about the history of Western Rite Orthodoxy by Dr. Jean-François Mayer, a researcher at Fribourg University in Switzerland I have known personally. Dr. Mayer himself had become Orthodox after having explored a number … Continue reading
Orthodoxy and Catholicism

In these early days of 2018
I belatedly wish my readers a happy New Year. The Christmas Octave is over and we celebrate the octaves of St John, the Holy innocents, and then the Vigil of the Epiphany with the octave of St Thomas of Canterbury. … Continue reading
Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate
It is the famous quote of Dante, most frequently translated as Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. It is a quotation I often remember when walking up some streets in London with the dark glass and steel office buildings … Continue reading
Leavened Bread and the Blessed Sacrament
Patricius has written Elevations… which is interesting when you get to know its author a little. He loves making conservative readers bristle by his rhetoric! I have always used standard unleavened wafers that you buy ready made and keep in … Continue reading
