About the author:

The author, writing under a pen name, is a conservative senior churchman resident
and active in an established “Continuing Care Retirement Community” in New
England. Raised in suburban New Jersey and educated early in public schools and
then in private non-sectarian schools, first in a local "country day school" and then in a private boarding school, he enlisted in the United States Navy before graduation and served as a pharmacist's mate. After the war he attended and graduated from an Ivy League college before similarly attending and graduating from an Episcopal seminary, and subsequently he was ordained a deacon and then a priest. After serving for many years he was eventually disciplined for refusing to accept certain liberal doctrines and practices, whereupon he was consecrated a bishop to serve
non-conforming Anglicans before eventually retiring. In addition to forty-odd years of active ministry, he married, raised two children, and while still able enjoyed gardening, hiking, and carrying on voluminous correspondence in defense of classical Anglican theology and practice.
