Today friends and members of the prayer book society gathered here for a memorial service for Peter Toon who is now asleep in Christ. The service was pretty much 1928 BCP with a few minor Anglo Catholic additions. I enjoyed two favorite hymns: Just as I Am, and For All the Saints. Peter was President of the American Prayer Book Society for years. A scholar and Oxford PhD and an acquaintance through occasional emails. He was the champion of the Anglican Way and Reformed Cathlocism with three instruments of unity- the traditional prayer book, ordinal, and 39 Articles of Faith. Thank God for the life of Peter. Grant, Father, that we may pick up the torch and continue the tradition of orthodox Anglican worship.
