This is a fascinating article that appeared today in the Washington Post. My own journey towards the Anglican Church enables me to identify with the hunger which this article describes. I had to leave the Episcopal Church in the United States some years ago, but I deeply appreciated much of my worship experience there. Sometime I will have to write more about that.
Update 3/9/08 - I got around today to reading my misplaced Christianity Today magazine for February, 2008 and came across the cover story on the same subject, "The Future Lies in the Past." It is comprehensive and illuminating. Also appearing, in the same issue, the sidebar, "Monastic Evangelicals: The attraction of ancient spiritual diciplines," which mentions a number of recent books.
