Welcome Home Anglican Brothers

Welcome Home Anglican Brothers

For those who missed it today... since it barely made the news... one of the biggest stories since 1534 when the English Parliament made King Henry VIII the head of the Church of England, breaking from the Roman Catholic Church (over his desire to remarry, remember?)

This morning, the Holy See announced the upcoming publishing of an Apostolic Constitution providing a formal means for Anglicans who so desire to be reconciled with the Catholic Church, on very generous "terms."

Some links with the story, as it's been developing all day:

- Deacon Keith Fournier's take on Catholic.org

- Some added analysis by Father Dwight Longenecker

(who already made this journey on his own)

- Thomas Peters' coverage at American Papist started with this post

(refresh his site to the homepage to see added stories from through the day)

- Jimmy Akin has a take, including links to the raw data

- Dr. Edward Peters gives his usual take in the light of Canon Law

It'll be amazing to watch as the repercussions of this unfold over the rest of our lives, as this baseline "model" for how members of the Traditional Anglican Communion can come into full communion with the Church might be expanded to others as well.

"Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are." - John 17:11b (emphasis added), Jesus in the Garden on the night before his Passion.

About to share these concepts in a breakout at #AdobeSummit #Attribution http://t.co/wlEuZzDx 2012/05/16
@owainc @RayPunSD I'd love to hear Father's take on that. There is a personal element missing in the digital self if we're not careful. 2012/05/16
I think there's more a direct relationship of convenience-2-multichannel than indirect of trust-2-multi http://t.co/awl387zc @MineThatData 2012/05/16
