Most interesting, Michael. Where can one go about ordering this Breviary?
As an aside, how large of a group is the St. Petroc monastery in the website - are they just starting up? I found some of the information on their webpage interesting, and perahaps a little shocking (they were very negative towards St. Gregory the Great and St. Augustine of Canturberry).ÂÂ
Dear Silouan,
A quick message to the monastery or specifically to Fr Michael (who started the thread I linked to) will get you a response about the Prayer Book. The monastery used to be Continuing Anglican but converted to Orthodoxy some years back now. There seems to be a healthy community there, and i know of at least one family that is moving from the USA to live in Tasmania specifically to be associated with the community and the riches of the Western Rite there. I have been in touch with Fr Michael for nearly a year now and he has been instrumental in my developing a love for Orthodoxy, partly because of how the Church extends her love for all of her children by making available rites indigenous to both East and West alike.
I haven't come across the parts where they speak ill of those divines, but I'd be interested if you could point me in that direction. I was under the impression that Augustine of Hippo is the "Saint" and Augustine of Canterbury the "Blessed", not recognised as a Saint because of some
interesting doctrinal views he held. I have never delved into the reasons why but this is what my spiritual Father told me, and the comments on the St Petroc site may be related to this. Not having seen them first-hand, I cannot say definitely.
