DIOCESE OF THE HOLY CROSS FORTNIGHTLY
Saturday, July 19, 2008
This bulletin will come on alternate Saturday mornings to provide a quick summary of what is happening in the Diocese and beyond. Rectors, especially those in the DHC, may wish to copy this Fortnightly to parishioners who have e-mail, or to have parishioners’ e-mail addresses sent to afdv1@yahoo.com
A new Diocesan website has been constructed by our Webmistress, Lori Lorenz. Our thanks to her for a job well done. She is available to help parishes that would like new websites. When going to www.dioceseoftheholycross.org, have a look at the "Resources" section, which is full of good material.

Restoring the Anglican Mind is Fr. Arthur Middleton’s latest book, being published now by Gracewing. It is available in paperback through Amazon. A must-read for all believing Anglicans, showing how our theology grew out of the Patristic Consensus of the early Church. Our restoration depends on recovering the mind of the Fathers.
