Today is the eighteenth anniversary of the death of the great Anglican theologian — believed by many to have been the greatest Anglican theologian of the last century — Eric Mascall. In Eric Lionel Mascall as Anglican Patrimony, my friend William Tighe offers a tribute to his friend, with a brief biography and a reflection on how Mascall might have responded to Benedict’s offer of an ordinariate for Anglicans who want to become Catholics. Bill adds another story in the comments.

David,
It is a happy coincidence that someone else recommended St. Mary’s to me. I attended the Sunday High Mass there on my last two trips to London. Only afterwards did I learn that the drinks reception they hold after the service takes place in Fr. Mascall’s old rooms.
If I had known then, i would have paid even more attention to the books and wondered if they were his.
