What are you currently reading?

It is a basic synopsis of Anglican worship and beliefs. It is used in the USA by the ACNA as their catechism. The reason I am reading it now is that we have a new priest at our parish that was just recently ordained into the Anglican Catholic Church. He had spent decades in the United Methodist Church, but left it due to their schism concerning gay-marriage & blessings and female-ordination. He has a PhD. in Divinity and Theology and officially "retired" from the UMC and came to our parish as a lay-person and then got into discussion and learning from our Archbishop and various Canons locally. He ordained with us in late October. He is not a young man, as he is now 73, so he and I can relate to the many changes in the world seen in our lifetimes.

 

Point of clarification - it might be used by some ACNA churches as PART of their teaching to catchumens, but it is not THE catechism of the ACNA. Information can be found here, and the official catchechism ordered here.

 

The Irrational Season, a meditation on the Christian year by Madeleine L'Engle.

 

I have purchased the latter for my reading, too.

 

Caravan - Incaranional Stories set in an Australian Landscape by Stephen Daughtry.

This is an Educational Resource produced by the Anglican Board of Mission 2024. I ordered it before Advent as it was the Parish Advent Book, and sadly, I did not receive it till Advent 4. It has had mixed reviews amongst parishioners, and I am now reading it out of context, and aware of the mixed reviews, but trying to give the author a fair hearing.
