It's been an unusually hectic couple of weeks, what with worship,
teaching the faithful,
shooting,training the horse (huge thanks to VS for training me...), working to some kind of deadline for the religious press, and reading Owen Chadwick's outstanding book, 'Spirit of the Oxford Movement.' Here's an excerpt, on Keble, who famously stated:
'If the Church of England were to fail, it should be found in my parish.'
And Chadwick's commentary:
'The stance is so squared and so real that it takes a moment to see how cloud-capped are the towers he defended.'
I fear LSPland isn't so very far from the same battlements; with that in mind, have a blessed Independence Day and stand vigilant for freedom.
Off to clean guns now.
Cheers,
LSP
