The Update, from St. Edmund's in Cambridge, Ontario, is always a good read, and I commend this monthly newsletter to all of you who stop by here. In this month's issue, there's a reflection by Msgr. Andrew Burnham on the birth of the Ordinariates, and he concludes on this hopeful note:
We are few, like Gideon's men (Judges 6), but the bravery of 80 priests, most of whom have lost stipend and some future pension benefits, and the 30 or 40 groups of laity, who have lost their habitual time and place of worship and nowadays go to church at a less convenient time and to a less convenient place, is, we believe, the beginning of something new and magnificent. It is not just Choral Evensong and all that, though the Customary of Our Lady of Walsingham provides that for us, it is a step towards the healing of one of the most damaging wounds of history, the dividing of Christ's Body the Church, here in England.
