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.
