I also had the privilege of serving for at afternoon at St. Paul's Chapel. A beautiful, sad, very rich moment indeed. I shared a little bit of that story in my sermon last Sunday . . . and was surprised a bit by how fresh the memory and feelings all were, despite the run of the decade since.

I think it is helpful for those who are unfamiliar with the Eucharist as we practice. I know it will help my wife because she has told me that she feels lost in what's happening while trying to follow the service. Thanks, perhaps she'll understand why we are doing what we do.

I found it intriguing from the beginning.. It should be used for every pre-confirmation class.. Thank you for being a bit "liberal" (in a nice sort of way). I've been locked into an Anglo-Catholic service, for the last three years, and have just escaped. Father Harding, you have proved there can be "joy in Mudville", even if one doesn't do Rite l at every single gathering of the congregation, no matter what the cause. Hopefully, the Holy Spirit will lead me somewhere there is "high church" with someone interested in evangelism. Thank you again for a wonderful book, I shall read and reread it.

]]> Comment on Why Dialogue Is So Difficult by Phil Swain http://www.leanderharding.com/blog/2011/01/27/why-dialogue-is-so-difficult/comment-page-1/#comment-44912 Phil Swain Fri, 28 Jan 2011 20:01:55 +0000 http://www.leanderharding.com/blog/?p=280#comment-44912 Wonderful reflection on the Feast Day of St. Thomas Aquinas. Isn't the distinction between a hermeneutic of mystery and a hermeneutic of revelation that the latter is grounded in faith and the former is faithless? Of course, if one's philosophy holds that revelation is improbable or impossible then it's not likely that one is going to believe in revelation. But it doesn't follow that if one's philosophy is open to revelation that one will believe. In other words, an epistemological pessimist has taken a philosophical wrong-turn, which can be corrected by sound philosophical arguments, but once corrected it doesn't necessarily follow that he will believe in revelation.
