Fr. John Jay Hughes on The Anglican Patrimony and New Evangelization

The opening keynote talk at the Anglican Use Society Conference which was held in Kansas City, Missouri last week was given by Fr. John Jay Hughes. Fr. Hughes, the son and grandson of Anglican priests, was himself an Anglican priest for 6 years before entering the Catholic Church in 1960. He was conditionally ordained to the Catholic priesthood in 1968. A Church historian and priest of the St. Louis archdiocese, he is the author of numerous articles and publications, as well as his autobiography No Ordinary Fool: A Testimony to Grace, the story of a man who, 57 years after ordination, is still in love with the priesthood.

His talk was entitled: "The Anglican Patrimony and New Evangelization: Observations by a Pre-Vatican II Convert"
