Well, I’m a rather recent (10 years) convert to the Anglican tradition; I spent my life in low church, but now, I’m in love.

You know, I have a few N.T. Wright books but haven’t read any since college. I need to get on that…

Catherine, I must admit that my growing appreciation for the church calendar comes mostly from the Anglican tradition. The Book of Common Prayer is generally to be found next to my computer. N.T. Wright’s (a good Anglican) most recent book on Easter was a huge encouragement to me.

So keep up the good work all you Anglicans out there. We low-church folk can learn from you.

This is why I love being Anglican (and many other traditions that follow the church calandar). For 44 days before Easter we are very consciously looking towards it, then during Holy week we take apart each day of the story…and we celebrate the Ressurection for weeks after Ressurection Sunday. Easter becomes not something quickly come and quickly gone, but the focal point of our whole year.

This sounds like a great series!
