When John Keble (1792-1866)
published a collection of poems in 1827 based on the theme of the Christian
year, he chose to remain an anonymous author. The book, however, proved quite popular, and Keble became
well known as a poet in his generation.
Though he was appointed to an Oxford [...]
It is curious, and may
not be uninstructive, to observe how from time to time the assailants of
Primitive Antiquity have shifted their ground, since the beginning of the
seventeenth century. During the struggle of the Reformation, men had felt
instinctively, if they did not [...]
Last chance to join in on Vision 2019
Ali Symons, Anglican Church of Canada
September 30, 2009 – Tomorrow, Oct. 1, is the last day on which you can respond to Vision 2019 and help plan the Anglican Church of Canada’s future priorities. Everyone is asked to answer the question, “Where is your church [...]
I heard a fascinating interview a few days ago on CBC radio. The guest was relating some comments from the founder(s) of Twitter. For those not in the 140 character loop, let’s just say that if you are reading this you are only a click away from discovering what it is. The interviewee related a [...]

St Tim’s Anglican Church is hosting a [...]
Poets show up in curious places:
Perhaps only in America could a major cultural figure such as Ralph Waldo Emerson become a spokesman for a popular brand of athletic shoes. During a summer campaign in the late 1980’s, Reebok International put the clipped, gnomic sentences of “Self-Reliance” to work for selling designer sneakers. In [...]
It is interesting and significant to note what was “crossed out” of the original resolution presented to the Episcopal Church’s General Convention this week. The original motion had a conscience clause; the one passed by the Convention does not. Many Anglican clergy have heard time and again that “no one will require you to do [...]
…because I am compelled to read and respond to the various papers presented by the Primate’s Theological Commission. Theology, like all intellectual disciplines, requires time. An obvious drawback to engaging in dialogue with those who have produced this set of papers is the lack of time to adequately consider all angles of what is [...]
