...mission work. "We are encouraged to go out and experience the church in a different way," says Father Madden, who is preparing to go to Haiti this fall. Father Dalby, who joined the order in 1940, spent six years in South Africa in the 1960s helping to establish the Anglican Church there. "Our primary purpose was to keep the thing going," he says, adding that once the Episcopal Church was firmly established, the order left. The Society also had a branch in Japan, which Father David E. Allen worked in from 1962-1975. Japanese monks came to America...
Paradise Postponed combines some of the social sweep of Brideshead with the hugger-mugger of Rumpole, the overweight, conniving and lovable Old Bailey barrister. The novel's central mystery emerges after the death, in 1985, of Simeon Simcox, 80, Anglican rector of Rapstone Fanner, a village some two hours' driving time west of London. The clergyman's will contains a staggering surprise. He has left nothing to his wife Dorothy or his two grown sons Henry and Fred. Instead, the ardent Socialist once known as "the Red Rector of Rapstone" has bequeathed all of his shares in the family-owned...

By releasing the document now, Rome also seeks to provoke hard ecumenical thinking in advance of the 1988 Lambeth Conference, the once-a- decade meeting that embraces some 600 Anglican bishops around the world...
Willebrands' letter addressed what the Cardinal called "the most fundamental" obstacle to Roman recognition of Anglican clergy, Pope Leo's emphatic 1896 decree. Leo's papal bull, titled Apostolicae Curae, laid out the doctrinal basis for the previous centuries of traditional rejection of Anglican ordinations...
...body-and-blood "sacrifice" of Jesus Christ. Beginning in 1552, argued the papal bull, the ordination ritual in Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer erased all mention of the priestly commission to offer sacrifice. Without such a commission, Leo ruled, in Roman Catholic terms the Anglican ordinations were defective both in the form (words) of the ritual and in the intention of the original celebrants of the rite. To this day, Anglicans themselves remain divided on the sacrifice issue, but acceptance or rejection of the concept has not been considered a grave ecclesiastical question...
