Elegy for “The Anglo-Catholic”

The Fatal Flaw
It is a constant theme: Anglicanism is intrinsically flawed by its comprehensiveness and doctrinal relativism because of the lack of a teaching authority (magisterium). It is one argument that convinces Anglicans who are new to it to become Roman Catholics. … Continue reading
Website Up and Running
My website As the Sun in its Orb is up and running after its recent ruthless haircut (be assured, I still have my hair!). The links are restored, updated or deleted because the subject matter is no longer in existence. … Continue reading
Updating my Website
My website, now renamed As the Sun in its Orb – in fact a former title of this blog, has laid dormant and on “hard standing” like a boat out of water for quite a long time. I have given the … Continue reading

Quietness
One or two have written to me concerned about my quietness on the blog. I am away from home in England for a few days. We had our diocesan Synod in Lancashire last Saturday and I am spending a couple … Continue reading
