As a member of the Anglican Usage parish in Houston, I am so happy to see Fr. Nichols' paper here. He has been called, as you all probably know, the greatest living theologian writing in English (pace to Cardinal Dulles). I am one of those hwo is hoping and praying for the reumnion of the Traditional Anglican Communion with Rome in a "uniate" church model, which we who are already "in" may then accede to. It would solve many of our current problems, which include lack of receptivity of the AU by the local Catholic bishops, and lack of trained pastors prepared to succeed the founding AU parish church pastors, most of whom are near retirement age if not past it.
We have much too beautiful and reverent a liturgy for it to be a good thing if our little AU communities were to be simply absorbed into the great melange of novus ordo mediocrity. Thus we hope for the arrival of a much larger and better organized group of like-minded folks.
Those latin-rite folks who things should all be done the same way should certainly read Fr. Nichols' paper, for something of a correction. Variety can be good, if done properly.
