13 The Persistence of Memory
Why Traditional Anglo-Catholicism Will Abide
By John D. Alexander and Phoebe Pettingell
The term “traditional Anglo-Catholicism” signifies not just a particular position on certain narrowly defined issues such as the ordination of women — these issues change from generation to generation — but rather a comprehensive outlook grounded in a Catholic view of the Christian past and the ecumenical present.
