Cardinal Walter Kasper, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, at the 2008 Lambeth Conference, encouraged Anglicans to rediscover their apostolic heritage in a 'new Oxford Movement.' In 2008 we celebrate the 175th Anniversary of John Keble's Assize Sermon, given in the University Church of St Mary the Virgin in Oxford. We also celebrate the life of the servant of God, John Henry Newman, and look forward to the announcement of his beatification by Pope Benedict XVI.
The example of the Oxford Movement fathers is one that still stirs the hearts, minds and wills of countless Christians. In response to Cardinal Kasper's encouraging words, this blog is offered as part of a wider initiative to renew an understanding of the catholic heritage that has been entrusted to us. This blog is not, by itself, The New Oxford Movement, it is a forum to aid its development, it is a place where discussion, debate and decisions will, it is hoped, contribute to the future of catholic Anglicanism.
Please pray for this initiative and all who seek to understand the catholic faith and communicate it to the world in which we live.
