...never read your reports on the Anglican part of Christ's one, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church without wincing -and especially because you persist in categorizing us as Protestants, though we are nothing of the kind, notwithstanding what some churchmen may think in their superficial approach to religion. No informed Anglican will deny that his religion is reformed, but he must maintain that it is Catholic...
...Having sweated out (literally-shirtsleeve sessions in the university's steaming Aula-and figuratively-ponderous theological peregrinations Uber Rechtfertigungslehre) 14 days of world Lutheranism in Helsinki, I snatched a copy of TIME at London's Central Airport to see if the Anglicans fared any better.

Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury and primate of the Communion, called for a new sharing of missionary responsibilities. "Let African and Asian missionaries come to England to help to convert the post-Christian heathenism in our country and to convert our English Church to a closer following of Christ," he said. The archbishop may get his wish some day. At a meeting of an advisory council of Anglican prelates, the churches worked...
