He recollects his past: "When I was a child our family was quite friendly: father, mother and six brothers. We weren't poor but were comfortably off. Unfortunately my dad died when I was 11.

Nobody cared of us anymore; we became "street" kids and did what we wished.

That's why it's "Amnesia & Anamnesis"... It is both because if we only concentrate on the "amnesia", we'd get very depressed especially in our culture and circumstances to get depressed.

Before we can look for answers, we need to reflect upon the cause of our current condition. One contributing factor is the non-evangelical nature of the Anglo Catholic tradition as we have received it in the ACC. This is not a characteristic of Anglo Catholicism per se. For example, one can read the book, Glorious Battle, by John Sheldon Reed to see the very evangelical nature of many post Oxford Movement Anglo Catholics.
