Hardcover Print: $51.98 In the 19th century the Syrian Orthodox Church provided bishops for discontented Anglo-Catholics in Britain, Portuguese Catholics in Ceylon and Old Catholics in America. In 1933 it responded to a crisis among the Byzantine Orthodox in Hungary by consecrating a bishop for these congregations too. Although now a Metropolitan of the Coptic Orthodox Church, Abba Seraphim believes that there are certain parallels which may be construed to aid a more generous evaluation of these bishops and his detailed documentation, the fruit of 40 years research, provides the basis for such a re-assessment.

Print: $12.29 In these days of general tolerance and ecumenism, strident comments and robust criticism of another’s religion is not only considered at the best, uncharitable but at the worst, fanatical. However, it was not always so and for many of our ancestors anti-Catholic sentiments were synonymous with patriotism.
This is the biography of a long forgotten Protestant polemicist, known as Ex-Monk Widdows. Although he was a convicted sex-offender, a notorious liar and perfectly happy to exploit the religious prejudices of his times he was able for many years to sustain his masquerade as a victim of religious bigotry whilst himself peddling an odious intolerance, surely speaks eloquently not only of his own gifts of dissimulation in exploiting the credulity of narrow and mean-minded followers but also of a religious climate where sectarianism was endemic and charity absent. His is, at the very least, a cautionary tale.

Print: $17.47 The Catholic Apostolic Church, commonly though erroneously called Irvingites, was an extraordinary nineteenth-century religious movement arising out of the political and social upheaval wrought by the French Revolution. Although a number of studies have appeared in the past few decades, Seraphim Newman-Norton’s “The Time of Silence” is unique in providing a detailed and sympathetic account of the events following the death of its last apostle, Francis Valentine Woodhouse, in 1901 through to the death of the last priest in 1971. Originally published in a very limited edition in 1974, this fourth edition is extensively revised and provided with historic illustrations.

Print: $11.24 The late Dr.Judith Pinnington (1935-2006) wrote this study of the Old Roman Catholic Church in 1963 at a time when that body had divided between two rival factions, each under its own bishop. Two years later they united, but events, both within and without, were to imperil its continuance for a second century. This previously unpublished account, amplified by other rare manuscript sources and placed within its historical context, records a little known chapter of church history.
