Steve's Anglican compass rose

This block was originally going to be the Episcopal Shield, but with the way the Episcopal Church is moving away from our beloved Anglican three legged stool of Scripture, Tradition and Reason to a very unsteady unicylce of reason alone, I discussed it with Steve and he and I opted to make a block featuring the Anglican Compass Rose instead. Its fitting since Steve is attending an essentially Anglican Seminary. I could not do a series of blocks about Steve and not include one that represents his faith, Anyone who knows him at all knows he is a man of faith. He has been studying the Anglican theologians of the reformation recently and the Via Media that they espoused keeps coming up. Steve being the quintisential Anglican has been encouraged toward ordination by both Bishop Spong on the far left and Bishop Kelshaw firmly on orthodox ground, a "manifest token" as Hooker would say that Steve has found the via media!

  1. I agree that you made the right choice, and thank goodness Steve followed in Bishop Kelshaw's footsteps rather than Spong's!Praise God for the man of faith that he is!
