laudable Practice

Laudable Practice is a "poor priest" (c.f. Herbert's 'Aaron') in the Church of Ireland, living in Jeremy Taylor country, and enjoying the poetry of Wendell Berry. 'High and Dry', blogging on the riches of the 'Old' (Luke 5:39) High Church tradition, a historian by background, and particularly delights in leading Sunday Prayer Book Mattins and Evensong in the parish.

Old High "give me good old George the Third and the Protestant religion. Those were the times! Everything went on quietly then" Mrs. Bolton in 'Loss and Gain', by John Henry Newman (1848)

Burkean "Violently condemning neither the Greek nor the Armenian, nor, since heats are subsided, the Roman system of religion, we prefer the Protestant: not because we think it has less of the Christian religion in it, but because, in our judgment, it has more. We are Protestants, not from indifference, but from zeal" Burke's 'Reflections'

Clerk in Holy Orders "I assent to the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, and to the Book of Common Prayer, and of the Ordering of Bishops, Priests, and Deacons. I believe the doctrine of the Church of Ireland, as therein set forth, to be agreeable to the Word of God" Church of Ireland Declaration of Assent.
