To neglect the commemoration of a saint upon his or her appointed day is no small omission, but a kind of spiritual amnesia—a failure to honour the continuity of grace in the life of the Church. The saints are not relics of memory but living witnesses to the sanctifying work of

Indeed, this is the very Book of Common Prayer (1954) we use still here in South Africa. The Placeat tibi and Domine Iesu Christe, found in the Additional Prayers section, are optional collects said by the priest either after the Collect of the Day or (and usually) before the

Urinating against the altar in St. Peter’s Basilica. What unspeakable desecration. Nothing is sacred anymore! The world has grown dark indeed, and the devil is just doing his damnedest these days.

10/ This is the witness of Continuing Anglicanism, of which our Traditional Anglican Church is a lead part. We are not the remnants of a broken past, but the custodians of an unbroken faith. The Church Anglican continues—and in that continuity, Christ is loved and there is hope.

9/ So, amid the present confusion, let it be said: authentic Anglicanism lives on. The Anglican Church is found where the Faith is kept, the Word and Sacraments honoured, and Christ alone worshipped and adored.

8/ The future of Anglicanism will not be found in accommodation to culture, but in conversion to Christ Jesus. Institutional renewal will only come from repentance, prayer, and faithfulness to the deposit of truth entrusted to the Church. This is not ours to innovate and change.

7/ While modern Anglicanism wrestles with its identity & suffers from theological entropy, the Continuing Churches quietly maintain it—celebrating the Eucharist, preaching Christ crucified, praying the Offices & keeping alive the rhythm of classical Anglican sacramental devotion.

6/ The Continuing Anglo-Catholic vision holds that the Church must remain one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. This adherence is no nostalgia; it is fidelity—a conviction that the Faith once delivered to the saints is not ours to amend, but to guard, hold, and hand on.

5/ Within that breadth, Anglo-Catholicism offers an ontological epistemology—the Church sacramental, incarnational, and contemplative. It insists that beauty belongs to truth and that ordered worship and prayer shape belief (lex orandi, lex credendi).

4/ Anglicanism, by its nature, is rather broad. But breadth without fidelity collapses into confusion. The genius of Anglicanism is qualitative and lies not in novelty, but in tradition and balance—the via media rooted in the creeds and councils of the undivided Church.

3/ Continuing Anglicanism arises not as a protest; it is a hermeneutic of preservation. It represents the faithful continuity of classical Anglicanisms—a Church continuing “in the Catholic Faith, Apostolic Order, Orthodox Worship, and Evangelical Witness...”

2/ For many, that authenticity is being rediscovered within the Continuing Anglican Churches—those jurisdictions that, in conscience and conviction, refused to abandon the ancient Faith when the Canterbury establishment turned from it.

Anglicanism has been much in the public square of late—unfortunately mostly for all the wrong reasons. There is, amidst the noise and controversy, however, a real interest. And despite all that is in the news, there lingers an ancient fragrance of a Church that still remembers 🧵

“Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity” — Ezekiel 5:11.

Today we keep St. Philip the Deacon. One of the Seven Deacons appointed by the Apostles to serve the early Church, he was “a man of good repute, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom” (Acts 6:3–5). Faithful, bold, and tireless, he carried the Gospel from Jerusalem to Gaza and

There’s a reason the Book of Common Prayer endures. It doesn’t merely contain the faith—it forms it. Every confession, every collect, every Scripture, every creed breathes the Gospel of grace ♱

A sorrowful sight—Canterbury Cathedral reduced to this.

Graffiti now stains the ancient stones of Canterbury Cathedral. Once a sanctuary of holiness, now reduced to a canvas for contempt. But is this not the outward sign of the inward decay? When truth is abandoned and sacred order cast aside, this is the result—a sign of the deep

Welcome from Baptist waters into the rich, ancient stream of Anglicanism. Here, the Eucharist nourishes body and soul. The “smells and bells,” prayer, Scripture, liturgy, and tradition draw us into the timeless worship of the Church ♱

From the blood-soaked hill of Montmartre, we turn to a quiet oratory in Birmingham, for it is also the Feast Day of John Cardinal Henry Newman. His devotion to Christ, the Scriptures, and the historic faith offers us a model of reasoned piety and steadfast prayer. A mind formed
