Anglo-Catholic swansong?

 Fascinated by a series of lectures given at Pusey House in April on the Anglican Ordinariates. A high intellectual level, the best of Oxford and Cambridge, quintessentially English. The paradox is that the constant reference is Rome, but the spirituality is very Orthodox. But these people would be out of water in our Church.

 There is indeed today a very real danger of the loss of the Anglo-Catholic wing to Rome, which could also, paradoxically upset the Evangelical wing, with whom they shared a sense of Gospel urgency. There seems a very real danger of seeing the CoE go the same way as the Churches of Sweden or Denmark. Though curiously enough, these premonitory examples are almost never mentioned.
