It was great to hear Mgr Keith's reflection. As a former athiest and adult convert to the Catholic Church, he gave me great insight which enriched my pilgrim journey further. He (and his family) will remain in my prayers, giving thanks for his courage, ministry and witness. Paul M (retired MC) OLOL Wanstead. I hope we were a place of welcome in those early days.

Thank you, Monsignor Newton for your faithfulness and your witness of the Gospel. The Ordinariate has been such a blessing for me and my family, here at Our Lady of the Atonement, in Texas! Truly a treasure to be shared! Thank you for these great videos.
This idea that your more Anglican than when Anglican… very much depends on what you mean. In language and liturgy perhaps. If your maintaining the 39 articles which is what I mean by an Anglican then that’s an issue
Yes, I think that's what Msgr Newton means. A piety nourished on Matins and Evensong would be close in spirit to Catholic monastic prayer. Also, the hymnody and sacred music and the close reading of the Bible (akin to monastic Lectio Divina). An Anglo-Catholic Anglican nourished by the BCP and the Bible who previously might have felt defensive about the Catholicity of the C of E would be able in a sense to relax and duly appreciate the biblical and liturgical and musical heritage of the Anglican tradition. It is, after all, largely of Catholic monastic derivation; and it is close in spirit to what the original Liturgical Movement was seeking (before it was so terribly derailed and twisted in the Sixties). Maybe those who enter the Catholic Church from the Anglican tradition can help us recover something of that vision, in the way that figures like the Anglo-Papalist Dom Gregory Dix expressed it. An Anglican who becomes Catholic doesn't have anything to prove anymore. Also, the Anglican ministry at its best has a fine pastoral spirit, such as R.C. Moberley's "Ministerial Priesthood" and Michael Ramsey's "The Christian Priest Today." The old-style evangelical side of Anglicanism has a strong emphasis on the Precious Blood of Christ as the sole grounds of our justification, and on Christ's ongoing High Priestly intercession (cf Heb 7.25). These emphases are much welcome in the Catholic Church and, in fact, need to be strengthened if we are to deal with the challenge of both Protestantism and secularism. It's entirely fitting that Westminster Cathedral is dedicated to the Precious Blood. Fr Frederick Faber wrote much about the Precious Blood, especially "All for Jesus" and "The Precious Blood." A Catholic should welcome something as beautiful as the Prayer of Humble Access before Communion: "We do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord, whose property is always to have mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen."
We are most grateful to Monsignor Newton for graciously doing this interview!

I am currently making the transition from being an Anglican to Roman Catholic as part of the Ordinariate. This is a brilliant interview.
Better still make the transition to the Holy Orthodox Church. ☦☦☦
Congratulations, @robertmcbride1859 , and welcome! It's great to have you join us!

@robertmcbride1859 Welcome home

Great interview! Praise God!
I passed this by several times but couldn't resist checking it out when I saw that Christopher Mahon was the producer. Well done!
Haha Thanks, Cathy!
