Richard Hollaway recants ... sort of
Mood:  chillin'

Richard Hollaway, an Anglican divine, of Anglo-Catholic churchmanship, has apparently been having problems, if not a full-blown crisis, in his faith. He published a book, some years back, with the subtitle, "What is left of Christianity," which looks to be a recantation (is that a word?). It seems like a really interesting book, and I am devoting time each evening to reading 30-page chunks of it.

I do not know quite how to read the data, but the details of Hollaway's biography on wikipedia seem to suggest that Hollaway walked away from his position as Primus (probably the chief bishop) of the Scottish Episcopal Church, to devote himself to writing and journalism. 

Anyway, I will know more of where Hollaway stands when I finish his book. When I was at the Advent, I was not exactly a big fan of the Rector, Hollaway, but the employee at the bookshop on Westminster, a block or two away from the church I currently attend, assured me that Hollaway does not get a penny when someone buys his (remaindered) book.

Which reminds me, I have to figure out just exactly what I believe now, after ten years, more or less, in Judaism, which I have now abandoned, since it no longer makes me happy.

It may be that I am simply incapable of making a decision, even though I am headed, God willing, towards retirement and old age.  

Anyway, off to read Hollaway's book.
