Not On This Rock

The first edition of Portal, a journal serving the Ordinariate. The first "Anglican Luminary" is Charles Gore, whose Kenoticism is set out without any explanation as to why it was wrong. There is no mention of Newman's horrified reaction when he read Lux Mundi.

Most Anglo-Catholics are Kenoticists, usually without even being aware that there is any other answer to the question of reconciling Chalcedonian vocabulary to the claims of Biblical criticism, namely that the criticism must yield, taking its secular and secularising presuppositions with it. That would never occur to any but a handful of them. Instead, it is in fact the meaning of the Chalcedonian Definition that is "emptied out".

We have been warned.
