Editor's Note - Peter Jesserer Smith
Welcome to the January-February issue of the St. Peter's Rambler. We did not have a January issue because Covidtide's latest wave knocked out ACS production members following Christmas and the weeks after. But we’re back in action!
We have news highlights from around the Ordinariates, including some "history making" in the Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter. In this edition's showcase, the "Littlemore Fellowship" is steeping Catholic men in the Ordinariate patrimony; Dr. Clint Brand delves into the meaning of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and Candlemas; Steven R. McEvoy speaks to how the CTS Divine Worship: Daily Office changed his prayer life; Martin Fracker lays out how Sherry Weddell's Forming a Parish of Intentional Disciples has six different blueprints for Ordinariate success; and yours truly interviews the Austin Ordinariate Members and Friends about how they are laying foundations for a future Ordinariate community by evangelizing, inviting Anglicans and Protestants into full communion with the Catholic Church, and growing in discipleship of Jesus Christ.
I encourage you to sign up for our St. Peter's Rambler monthly email, so you don't miss an issue. Also, please contact us if you have Ordinariate-related news, or news about living out the Anglican patrimony in the Catholic Church, that you would like to share from your part of the world. The Joy of the Gospel is palpable in the Ordinariates, and we love to share that joy on these pages.
So enjoy this great issue, and make sure to share it with others!
Peter Jesserer Smith is the vice president of the Anglicanorum Coetibus Society, and editor of the St Peter's Rambler.
