"The publishers and Edward Carpenter invited me to update his fine book for the centenary celebrations of the arrival of St. Augustine at Canterbury in 597. I was delighted to accept, but the time available was very short; so we agreed that there should be no alterations in his text, as completed in 1971, even though in some cases things would naturally not be written in quite the same way today. Only the final chapter, 'Quo Vadis, Cantuar ?', has been omitted .... [Carpenter's text] remains an invaluable guide to a remarkable history. To it I have added an introduction and two final chapters spanning the years from 1961 to 1997, as well as a short additional bibliography." -- Preface to Third Edition.

"The title I have given to this lecture is 'Christian Thinking : the Anglican vocation of thoughtful holiness'. I want to argue in a very particular, and I believe, Anglican way. I wish to look at a number of individuals who seem to me to have embodied this tradition of thoughtful holiness. .... So I will take five people. Each of them are Anglicans. I think they have something special to give to the universal Church. And yet, frankly, I could not imagine any of them not being Anglicans" (p. 2).

"In just a few weeks, I will travel to England for the enthronement -- or, as we in Canada say, 'the seating' -- of the Archbishop of Canterbury [Justin Welby], which will take place on March 21 [2013]. ON that day in our calendar of holy men and women, we commemorate the life and labours of Thomas Cranmer, the chief architect of the principle of common prayer in the language of the people. Justin Welby will be the 105th servant of God to occupy the chair of Augustine who arrived in England in 597 AD". "Occasions such as this remind us of our deep roots in the faith and the continuity of the church through time. They remind us of our rich heritage, our common vocation and the bonds of affection by which we are drawn together in the service of the gospel, though in very different contexts".
