In 2009 and 2010 the Society of Catholic Priests, founded in England in 1995, has formed provinces in North America and Australia.  2012 gives us the opportunity to take part in an historic step in our lives as we meet in conference in Rome.

Although the figure of St Peter dominates Rome there is little historic evidence that he went there.  However, we know that St Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome, was taken there under arrest and died there.  We will therefore be focusing on St Paul, his life, his teaching and his theology, during our days together under the direction of Dr Paula Gooder, renowned biblical theologian and teacher and the Ven Jonathan Boardman, Archdeacon of Italy and Malta and Chaplain to the Anglican Church of All Saints, Rome.

A new prayer book for Anglicans from the affirming catholic tradition, commissioned by SCP and Affirming Catholicism, was launched during the SCP Conference in Nottingham.  The compilers of the book are Fr Andrew Davison, Fr Andrew Nunn and Fr Toby Wright.  There are new translations of old prayers and many newly composed prayers arranged around the structure of the Eucharist.  The book is now available from all good booksellers and, of course, through Amazon UK by clicking here.

The book is a perfect gift for Confirmation candidates and others who are deepening their experience of prayer and the Eucharist. SPCK are offering a special deal and details of it can be found here.
