From the Revd Dr Peter Groves
Sir, - Like the Dean of St Edmundsbury, I found the Revd Dr John
Hughes's funeral mass both moving and inspiring (Letters, 18
July). I share her view that we are witnessing a renaissance in
Anglo-Catholicism, and can only echo her exhortation to the
Church's leadership to take note.
I am not sure, however, that her claim that that renaissance is
"centred in Cambridge" tells the full story - not least because so
many of the gifted young Anglo-Catholic clergy she describes,
including several of John's closest friends, were sent forward for
ordination training from St Mary Magdalen's, Oxford.
