About six years ago, when I was still Anglican, I paid a visit to the Washington National Cathedral book store (holding my nose, of course). Amidst all the New Agey Unitarian episcopagan dreck, I found a treasure (which must have gotten by their inspectors) - St. Leo the Great's "Be Friends of God." What a find! It is one of my favorites. I couldn't figure how such a Christian book wound up in a place/diocese/denomination notorious for being a hot bed of New Agey Unitarian episcopaganism, but God certainly does have a sense of humor, as I also found a few other real Christian (albeit Anglican, but at least not New Agey Unitarian episcopagan) items during the same expedition. There was something deliciously underground and "naughty" in walking up to the cashier with St. Leo's book, and the few other Christian works I found, having the cashier turn rather pale, and ask me if I was clergy! :) Heeheehee. In contrast, the Basilica Shrine of the Immaculate Conception's book store has tons of solid and orthodox Catholic books, a treasure chest of good and edifying things. I haven't found a rad-lib-revisionist-wreckovation anything in the Shrine's book store. The contrast is stunning!

Thanks for the tip, which I'll use next time I'm in town.
