A couple of excerpts
My past few weeks have been enriching in a way I never could have anticipated. I mentioned at the end of my last post that I would be sharing my thoughts on the ecclesiological and theological investigation I have felt the Holy Spirit calling me to undertake. This will be the first post in a series of reflections upon what I’m learning and the books I would (and would not) recommend. ...
A brief book review follows:
Evangelicals on the Canterbury Trail: Why Evangelicals are Attracted to the Liturgical Church by Robert Webber
Conclusion:
I learned quite a lot from Webber about the Anglican view of worship practices and had some misconceptions corrected. My one criticism of the book would be that I think he is a little too hard on the intellectual element of spiritual formation; but I think he does this as an over-correction of his former attitude of extreme rationalism. I came away inspired to further investigate Anglicanism (which, by the way, was the church tradition of C.S Lewis, and many other luminaries of the faith).
Bottom line: This is a quick read with many good insights, and the author has a charitable attitude (that’s important!!!).
In my next post, I will offer some thoughts on Becoming Orthodox: A Journey to the Ancient Christian Faith by Peter Gilquist.

It appears that this author may be drawn to Anglicanism as this was "the church tradition of C.S. Lewis ..."
What a shame if this is the case because we should be following God not men.
