Soooo close, but no. This is almost exactly the same thing, only it doesn't have the full mass and I see no vanishing reliquaries. Perhaps Angloid's Protestant Archdeacon has been at work on the website? ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Not only vanishing reliquaries, but by picture 20 Father has lost his toupée. I suspect the gossiping curates behind him know its whereabouts.

Does anyone have any experience of ordering from the Anglican Parishes Association? I ordered a book a month ago, and still no sign of it. I sent an email asking if I should be concerned a week and a half ago and received no reply.

It can take about 4 weeks for the APA to deliver orders within the U.S., so your order may well be on its way. That said, while I appreciate that the APA is entirely run by volunteers, they seem to be rather inept even within the circumstances. They have been working on the ANGLICAN MISSAL reprint for years, with no sign of progress, and have recently resorted to asking Missal parishes to tape up their old copies and hope for the best. If you gave the project over to Lancelot Andrewes Press, or even if you gave Magic Wand and Oblatus the run of a well-equipped office and a week's free time, I guarantee the PDF files would be on the way to LuLu and publication by the end of that week.

"Some Notes on the Conduct of Public Worship" arrived from the Anglican Parishes Association.
A few days later, I got a parcel from the Convent Society of the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada, containing:
*The Lesser Hours of Prayer: which includes Prime, Terce, Sext, and None, as well as Compline (which I find odd - why not just use the BCP?) and a Midnight Hour.
*Readiness and Decency, Fr Palmer's guide to ceremonial.
*At the Altar of the Lord, the ACCC's bishops' guide for the celebrant at Mass, an adaptation of At the Lord's Table for the Canadian BCP.
*The Liturgy of Holy Week, the authorised Holy Week booklet for the ACCC.
All most edifying. Next I'm hoping to spring for these two publications.

The editors included Compline for those Continuers who use classic BCPs with no such provision, like the 1662 and US 1928. You may wish to contact the editors at the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Evangelist for info on their volume of Ancient Office Hymns, which is similar to the English Office.

I have been trying to find information about it online... but nothing seems to come up about it, and what does seems to talk about parts 1-4. The one I picked up is a little tiny book, and seems to be self contained, and dates from 1934.
I also found "A Communicant's Manual" by B.W. Randolph, D.D, which I found for 7 bucks at another store, and which dates from 1936.
Both were given by priests to parishoners, one on their confirmation by the Lord Bishop of Chelmsford, and the other for reasons unknown... rather interesting though!

And sorry to double post, but I've just discovered a link between my copy of S. Swithun's and Horfield Parish Church, which is mentioned on the Affirming Catholic thread... so it was definetly "Full Faith" at one time!!

Has been a while since anyone posted on this threat. However, two Anglo-Catholic gems have recently been republished by SCM/Canterbury Press:
Colin Stephenson - 'Merrily on High: An Anglo-Catholic Memoir'. (I read this a couple of weeks ago and thought it was excellent. Both interesting as an exploration of Anglo-Catholicism during the inter-war/post-war period, but also hilariously funny as a memoir.)
Colin Stephenson - 'Walsingham Way: Alfred Hope Patten and the Restoration of the Shrine of Our Lady'. (I have only just started reading this, but it seems to be very readable.)
Also on my to-read list is WSF Pickering's book on Anglo-Catholicism, which looks as though it could be interesting. (That and Dix on the Shape of the Liturgy/Dix's biography, which I hope to read longer-term.)
--------------------
On the issue of homosexuality the Liberals have spent their time thinking, considering and listening (in the spirit of the Windsor process), whereas Conservative Anglicans have used the time to further dig their feet in and become more intransigent.

Seriously, though, I don't know what you mean by flat, although that may be more of a discussion for purgatory.

Maybe so, but I'm with aumbry here. I was glad when I'd finished it. The opening chapter or three promised much more than was delivered.

Well, it fails to live up to its potential as light satire because it becomes a quite serious story about belief, unbelief, sin and grace. One could say the same thing about Brideshead Revisited.

Bumping this thread to ask if anyone would be interested in a copy of The Sacristan's Manual by the Revd Denis G Murphy, Burns & Oates, 1st ed. 1950. It is slightly warped and a few pages including the front end papers are lightly foxed, but it has 24 pages of most delectable advertisements for sundry church furnishings, vestments etc. on shiny paper. I picked it up locally for A$6 and would be happy to sell it on for the same price plus p&p. The chart of private votive, requiem and nuptial masses is intact in the back pocket.

My apologies if it has already been mentioned:
The Kirkbride Conversations by Harry Blamires. The format of a novel serves as framework for discussions of the tenets of the Christian faith from a decidedly Anglo-Catholic perspective-- dialogues between Father Kirkbride and a young agnostic who is eventually converted.

Just received the copy of Fr Hartzell's 1963 edition of The Prayer Book Office which I obtained through Amazon at a price which was not overly exorbitant. It is in excellent conddition and I look forward to using it for Evening Prayer on some days.
It seems to me that this would be a good title for Lancelot Andrewes Press to reprint.

I forgot to mention that a brand-new edition of Fortescue's Ceremonies of the Roman Rite Described has recently been published by Continuum. It has been revised to take account of the latest regulations authorised by Benedict XVI for the celebration of the Extraordinary Form of the mass usuing the 1962 missal.

ALL priests should have books on pastoral care, the Bible and so on. However, I comment the following for those who need to work our which strand of anglo-catholicism they are in - or, better, NOT in:
Anglican Papalism – M. Yelton
A fascinating history of that fringe movement among anglo-catholics who wanted to see the Church of England, in its entirety, submit to Rome. Its leaders were often eccentric and authoritarian. Some were right-wing while other were deeply respected for their work amongst the poor.
They disobeyed their bishops by celebrating the Roman Rite, sometimes in Latin and by introducing Benediction, arguing that the canon law of the Roman Church had not been rescinded at the Reformation and was, therefore, a higher authority. One of them said that the Book of common Prayer was inspired by the devil. Many bishops found it difficult to discipline such clergy because of their obvious holiness and willingness to work is the toughest of parishes. ‘Flying bishops’ is not a novelty since many parishes were ‘put under the ban’ and imported bishops from overseas to do their confirmations. Dom Gregory Dix, who write the highly influential ‘Shape of the Liturgy’, pointed out that the sign of a bishop is a crook and the archbishop a double crook.
It was they who started what has now become The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
I have considered (individual) submission to Rome and once supported the papalist ‘Catholic League’ but am now convinced that the movement is highly illogical. With the pending ordination of women to the episcopate, maybe members of Forward in Faith will seek uniate status under Rome (as they considered when the Lambeth Conference allowed birth control in the 1930s) and leave the rest of us behind.

There is some absolutely magnificent stuff in there, and some real rarities, the full Bute translation of the breviary, for instance, plus a Catholic Apostolic Church service book. The Angloc-Catholic, English and St. Swithun's Prayerbooks are also worth a look, as is Fr Forse's "Ceremonial Curiosities" and a red leather-bound English Missal for the Laity, to mention but a few.

At the moment there is a copy of the 1963 edition of Paul Hartzell's Prayer Book Office for sale on eBay with a buy-it-now price of $359.99.
I was fortunate enough to obtain my copy on Amazon for about £75 Sterling. The seller kindly told me that it had come from the estate of a deceased priest. Now I must search for the original 1944 edition!
I still think this would be a good candidate for a reprint by a publisher such as Lancelot Andrewes Press. Actually, it would be good if the 1979 edition by Howard Galley was also reprinted, but I suppose that it might now also be regarded as too traditional by some.
