Indeed. From what I’ve been hearing, even the AU folks think the Anglican Use could be substantially improved. I think Fr. Phillips said it was the best they could get under the circumstances.

More on the legal status of Sarum, which is a little project that’s been going on in England quite independent of all this Anglican convert business:

Excellent! Perhaps someone could suggest to His Holiness that resolving the dubitante on the Sarum Rite might be a kind and welcoming gesture to returning Anglicans?

The discussion points out that there has been a strong Anglican interest in the Sarum Rite. In fact, my former Episcopal parish in the U.S. actually used the Sarum liturgical colors rather than the traditional Anglican ones.
