This website/blog has so far been published on behalf of the Ordinariate Support Group in Europe and has a large number of regular followers from within the Ordinariates and beyond. We are most grateful for your support.

Within the framework of a complete reconstruction of the Anglicanorum Coetibus Society internet presence, the responsibility for this blog will be taken over by the Anglicanorum Coetibus Society (ACS).

You will still be able to access the site with its archive of previous posts at the current URL (http://ordinariateexpats.wordpress.com) but it will also feature on the ACS website, which is at present at http://anglicanuse.org . The reconstructed site will be at a different domain.
