THE REVD DR PETER TOON AND THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND

Since various messages have been going around the Internet about my relation to the Church of England, may I clarify what is happening.

It is my expectation that by the New Year I shall be the Rector (Minister in
Charge) of Christ Church, Biddulph Moor, Diocese of Lichfield. (I was ordained in the C of E in 1973) This is a small traditional parish which uses the BCP 1662 and in which I can continue to give time to reading and writing.

Meanwhile and until the Board Meeting in January 2001, I remain the President of the Prayer Book Society of the USA. Thus I shall be working and writing and editing and speaking for the cause of the Society until the end of 2001. (I have been on the Board of the PBS for 9 years and its President for 6 years)

Even when I go to England I intend to continue to write for the Prayer Book Society and be in daily touch by e-mail, fax etc with colleagues in the Prayer Book movement in North America, and spend a month or so each year in the USA.
