Bloggers Unite

I enjoy reading the blogs of others especially those recommended on the Forward in Faith site.

Fr Trevor Jones, St Peter's, London Docks has suggested an Anglo-Catholic Bloggers Conference in the latest edition of Forward Plus.

I see that I appear on the back of the new edition of Forward Plus, the free Forward in Faith tabloid, available at your local Forward in Faith parish or from F in F themselves (edition here illustrated NOT the latest)...terms and conditions apply!I suggested a few weeks ago an Anglo-Catholic bloggers conference, perhaps at Walsingham and have been, with an F in F tongue firmly placed in a cheek, taken up on the idea. May S. Isidore of Seville pray for this idea.

ISIDORE OF SEVILLE, SAINT
ĭzˈədôrˌ, c.560–636, Spanish churchman and encyclopedist, bishop of Seville, Doctor of the Church. Born of a noble Hispano-Roman family from Cartagena, he spent his youth under the supervision of his brother St. Leander, powerful bishop of Seville, and may have helped the latter in the extirpation of Arianism among the Visigoths. During his own tenure of the bishopric (from c.600) Isidore wielded considerable ecclesiastical power; he presided at the second Council of Seville (619) and at the fourth national Council of Toledo (633). He is best known, however, for his voluminous writings. His most influential work is the Etymologies or Origins, an encyclopedic treatise that aims to set down all the knowledge of the time. It is a comprehensive work in plan, and it transmitted to scholars of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance a great measure of classical learning. It was, however, a completely derived work, unenlightened by firsthand observation, and sometimes faulty in its scholarship. His Historia de Regibus Gothorum, Vandalorum et Suevorum [history of the reigns of the Goths, Vandals, and Suevi] continues to be useful in studying the early history of Spain. He also wrote many treatises on theology, language, natural history, and other subjects. His great learning and defense of education before the rising tide of Gothic barbarism was important to the development of Spanish culture. Feast: Apr. 4.
