January/February Mandate Available On Line

Adelphoi,

The Jan/Feb 2003 issue of The Mandate is now on line, edited by me. It is on the theme of Cranmer and his jewelled miniatures, that is the Collects of the BCP - their origins, style, content and religion. The author of two of the pieces therein is the distinguished professor of English, Ian Robinson, who has written important books on the origins and nature of English prose.

Also at my church website there is available for hearing (via your speakers) the most important of all Nativity Sermons, that in the official Book of Homilies and approved by Elizabeth I in the 1560s. I have the privilege of reading it as though I were preaching it in the Church of England. It lasts 34 minutes. By its standards most of our modern efforts appear to be doctrinally weak!

PLEASE enjoy both visits, and do have a splendid TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

Thank you,

The Rev'd Dr. Peter Toon
