It’s now posted over at Polycarp’s place (which is worth perusing for more than the patristics). Go have a look.
Is now up over at HYPEREKPERISSOU. A veritable plethora of stuff on the early church, patristics, translations and texts.
Some of the things which jumped out at me:
Justin Richter on The Way into a Far Country blog considers whether the Church Fathers’ opinion on justification really matters, discusses St. John Chrysosthom’s [...]
Patristics Carnival XVIII – November, 2008 is up over at HYPEREKPERISSOU
As usual, there are a variety of interesting topics covered, and a great selection of posts for your holiday patristic reading. Posts on church fathers, textual things, Jewish studies, apocrypha, book reviews & lots more. Come early and read it all!

St. Aidan’s Joins the Anglican Network in Canada
At a special vestry meeting held earlier today, St Aidan’s became the 19th ANiC parish and the 11th former Anglican Church of Canada parish to vote to join ANiC this year.
The vote was:
109 In Favour
One of the great distractions or gifts from God (depending on your outlook) with which those of us who find ourselves Anglican are blessed and saddled with is the notion of “Communion”. In its broadest sense, it refers to the idea that we are “in communion” with our brothers and sisters in this appendage of [...]
This coming Tuesday we are going to begin a study/prayer/devotional group which will focus on the faith and practice of the early Christians. “Early” is a relative term; we will be looking at the life of the Church in the first six centuries.
