[Europe.justus] Happy Hooker Day

[Bishop]

This is about Richard Hooker, whose feast it is today.

The greatest Anglican theologian, whom I quote and paraphrase  
regularly--read about him at

http://satucket.com/lectionary/RHooker.htm

and at

http://www.luminarium.org/renlit/hookbib.htm

and still more at

http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/64.html

Then join me in the Collect for Richard Hooker, which seems extremely  
relevant to our own day:

O God of truth and peace, who raised up your servant Richard Hooker in  
a day of bitter controversy to defend with sound reasoning and great  
charity the catholic and reformed religion: Grant that we may maintain  
that middle way, not as a compromise for the sake of peace, but as a  
comprehension for the sake of truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord,  
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever  
and ever. Amen.
