Completing the Reformation

Posted on Monday, 19 March, 2018 by Fr Anthony Chadwick

I am not American and have no experience of the “second wave” of dissidence from the Canterbury Communion. All the same, I’m not surprised. My attention has been drawn to ACNA’s Anglo-Catholic Exodus. One of the ANCA dioceses is splitting away … Continue reading →

Dr Winch’s Gregorian Club

Posted on Thursday, 25 January, 2018 by Fr Anthony Chadwick

Notes by Dr. Ray Winch

Posted on Wednesday, 24 January, 2018 by Fr Anthony Chadwick

I have quite a few handwritten notes by Ray Winch which illustrate his view on the contrast between the Catholicism of his youth (1940’s and 50’s) and the medieval status quo. I remember the nights of discussion when I had … Continue reading →

Dr Ray Winch reinvented

Posted on Tuesday, 23 January, 2018 by Fr Anthony Chadwick

It was quite a while ago when I wrote about Dr Raymond Winch in Oxford. Simply, I was browsing through Blackwell’s Bookshop in the early days of Holy Week 1988 and came across The Canonical Mass of the English Orthodox. … Continue reading →
