Fr John Hunwicke
was for nearly three decades at Lancing College; where he taught Latin and Greek language and literature, was Head of Theology, and Assistant Chaplain. He has served three curacies, been a Parish Priest, and Senior Research Fellow at Pusey House in Oxford. Now incardinated into the Personal Ordinariate of our Lady of Walsingham, he has his base within the Oxford Ordinariate Group. This blog now replaces the Blog Father Hunwicke's Liturgical Notes. Its main purpose is to explore, ad mentem Summi Pontificis, the possibilitiesfor mutual enrichment between three forms of the Roman Rite: the Extraordinary Form, the Ordinary Form, and the Anglican Use. I have been told that my previous blog was disliked because of some the comments on the 'thread'. I take the point. In this blog, all comments will be moderated, and anything which is even implicitly critical of the English Hierarchy or of any member of it, will not be published.
NEW: Click below to order the 2013 ORDO
The purpose of this ORDO is to serve the needs of both Anglicans and Roman Catholics. For the former it provides for the recitation of Morning and Evening Prayer and the celebration of Holy Communion in accordance with modern forms authorised or encouraged in the Provinces of Canterbury and York. These forms are selected, arranged, and interpreted in the the spirit of what has become generally customary in Western Christendom since the Second Vatican Council; but notes draw attention to Orthodox insights. It also provides a full Calendar according to the modern Roman Rite, together with explanatory and catechetical notes. Anglicans who prefer forms of Liturgy based on the Book of Common Prayer will find a lectionary designed for use with the BCP.

Raffaello's Madonna di Foligno
The original once graced the high altar of the church of Sancta Maria in Ara Coeli on the Capitoline Hill. A fine copy is at the centre of the great baroque reredos at S Thomas the Martyr, Oxford.

I have tried to make amends with my last post there. The alleluia thread was very good and informative.
Thank you Father for letting us 'ramble on' also!
You also have my thanks, father. I'm not sure why I've enjoyed posting my silly comments so much, but I have.
That is why it is so important to keep separate the sacred and the profane in the liturgy. When the two mix, it is the sacred which is inevitably hijacked, and the profane is inevitably the hijacker.
That is why the world's most visible liturgical blog suffers inevitable droughts to the raging dust storms of politics, birds, and Chinese food. Not that there is anything improper about it, it is, after all, just a blog. But I must say, Father, that your own postings provide a very reliable oasis to someone who wants to learn daily a new thing about the liturgy, even though we commenters have not always followed your lead.
Again, thanks.
Thanks for letting me piggyback on your blog when I needed a recondite query answered. After all, where else to go?
