"I am immensely grateful to God for this Sodality and for our friendship in it; for this profound sense of community that is developing among us. We are a dispersed community, but we must never let our love seem dispersed. We will grow in love as we grow in knowledge of each other. There is a narrative that the church is in decline; that Anglo Catholicism has had its day. I do not believe either of those things. The men and women offering themselves in the Sodality are the new life, the new future, the mission priests of the coming years and decades."
