Fr. Hunwicke, reflecting on the recent death of The Rt. Rev. Eric Kemp, sometime Bishop of Chicester and one of the Church of England's last Anglo-Catholic diocesan bishops, shares his hopes for the preservation of our Anglican patrimony in the new personal ordinariates.
Only God knows if the Ordinariate game will work out in practice. If it does, this would be the best possible memorial to Eric: the old Oxford Patristic Tone – the Divinity of Pusey and Keble and Liddon and Kemp and Carpenter and Farrer and Mascall and Chadwick and Cross and Kilpatrick and so many others – as a living and thriving reality in a broader Christendom. We owe it to them to ensure that the Anglican Patrimony is not just seen as needlework and anthems at Evensong.
