The Southwest Anglo-Catholic Catechism(Catechismus Meridionalis-Occidentalis)
This catechism, based on the Venerable Baltimore Catechism, is a concise, yet detailed description of the entire doctrinal foundation of the traditional Christian faith, and focused on the Anglo-Catholic Rite. (In this publication, Anglican and Anglo-Catholic are used interchangeably, and generally also together.) Through careful and diligent study of this catechism, those preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation may be made thoroughly ready, well-grounded in the Faith, and worthy to receive the sacrament. Furthermore, the faithful already confirmed may renew their knowledge of their faith through study of this catechism. Whether confirmed recently or long ago, study of the basic foundation of the Faith is an essential tool towards spiritual growth, a means of attaining grace, and an effort towards perfection and eternal salvation.

NEW LITURGICAL RESOURCE NOW AVAILABLE!

How to Say Mass in the Anglican Rite
by
Archbishop Rutherford Johnson, PhD

"What a tremendous help this would have been 20 years ago when I was teaching liturgics for St. George's Seminary and renovating an old Disciples church for use at St. Gabriel's. For that matter, could have used it 50 years ago when I was acolyte warden for a large parish in Oklahoma... I relied a lot on another source, but this has a lot of the same info in an easier-to-decipher format!"

- The Very Rev. John Vornholt, Dean Emeritus

This book, representing over a decade of work, was written with the intent of provided a concise and complete resource for Anglo-Catholic clergy. Grounded in the history and tradition of the liturgy of the Church, How to Say Mass in the Anglican Rite contains hundreds of diagrams and drawings. Included are detailed guides for low mass, high mass, and sung mass, both celebrated by a priest and by a bishop. Also in this book are guides for requiem masses, nuptial and ordination masses, and the rites of Holy Week (all with diagrams). Notes on what to do when celebrating without a server or when celebrating alone are included. This book is written with the intent of helping all clergy grow in their love of liturgy as a means of conveying spiritual truth to the faithful and helping them grow in their spiritual journey.
