Exploring the renewal of Anglicanism through intentional community.

from The Teacher’s Prayer Book by Alfred Barry, a popular text book in church colleges a century ago.

‘The re-writing of the Book of Common Prayer by jurisdictions throughout the Anglican Communion has put in jeopardy this whole concept of common Rites and Services and has gone back to the Middle Ages when each church or Order “did their own thing.”‘

‘I know most of our divines do make the principal end and effect of all the sacraments to be obsignation, and all sacraments to be merely obsignatory signs; and consequently the ablution of infants from original sin, is only conditional and expectative, of which they have no benefit, till they believe and repent; I cannot easily assent hereunto.’
