Visit highlights origin of the Anglican Centre in Rome. Free booklet here.
When the Earl of Halifax visited Rome recently he was retracing the steps of his great-grandfather, the 2nd Viscount Halifax, who as a leading Anglo-Catholic had sought dialogue with the Roman Catholic Church on the subject of Anglican Orders, giving rise to Apostolicae Curae in 1896.
Undaunted, the 2nd Viscount had engaged in the Malines Conversations with Belgium Cardinal Mercier in the 1920s.
At a Reception at the Anglican Centre in Rome, the Chairman of the Centre, Bishop of Wakefield Stephen Platten, presented the Earl of Halifax with a booklet of texts just published by the Centre, “Journey in hope”, containing historical references to the 2nd Viscount.
