Anglican Use Conference 2009

There are excellent accounts of the recent Anglican Use Conference and the Solemn Mass offered by Cardinal DiNardo, on VirtueOnline:

For three days, framed by a solemn Evensong and Choral Matins and anchored by two Eucharistic celebrations, continuing Anglicans, practicing Roman Catholics and soul-searching Episcopalians came together to rejoice in the unique heritage of the liturgical richness of Anglican liturgy as embraced by the entwining roots of Roman Catholicism, which reaches back beyond the English Reformation to Christ and forward into present day post-modern America.

Father Christopher, Bless!
Very good articles and I hope there will be photos of everything.
The one comment expounding the 39 Articles was so uncalled for; typically low church Calvinistic Protestant Anglican.
I will pray that TEC will not block the The Community of Saint Mary from crossing over. After all, it's not like they are joining a new jurisdiction that TEC doesn't recognize.
Please do give more on the Conference.

TEC can't do anything to thwart the Sisters. The Community actually does own its property, and even the Episcopal Visitor, the Bishop of Quincy, has wished them well, noting that there will be no property issues.
