Those who quickly found what they wanted to do next in their visits to Roman churches upon the continent were very different from those who sat down with the ancient books and ancient illuminations to figure out just what was not only allowed by the rubrics which the bishops in church, in the face of objections by the Cromwellian clergy, reauthorized in 1662 and that in language which actually "required" them. The first group desparately wanted to imitate Rome as it was then (and had only become so in the period between 1502 and the Council of Trent), an argument still heard from Anglo-papalists, and those equally determined to live up to the fullness of the oaths which the CofE yet required of them at their ordination. The first essentially took their oaths with their fingers or some other parts of their anatomy crossed because they never intended obedience or believed that the Church, or at least the CofE, had any authority to require it. <br /><br />If you look around the websites for the various parishes of the Continuum you find very, very few that imply a full obedience to the Book of Common Prayer. Even if they have a building of their own there is no daily service and the Communion service is rarely given the priority which it was intended to have. But then the situation in both the CofE and TEO is much worse. It is pretty much Congregational denominationalism with almost Catholic ornaments.Canon Tallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182884929479435751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294180508947136086.post-54289742409895992182009-09-15T19:11:44.102-04:002009-09-15T19:11:44.102-04:00Peter Knockles's, "The Oxford Movement in...Peter Knockles's, "The Oxford Movement in Context" is an excellent and very readable book putting the lie to the Victorian Anglo-Catholic's claim to be the successor's of Tractarianism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294180508947136086.post-92183077413447119942009-08-05T20:53:23.147-04:002009-08-05T20:53:23.147-04:00Great article!

But I was thinking of Calvin's take that regeneration has a progressive side, akin to, if not equal to, sanctification.
