He's very close now to be canonised which is a great thing. Keble is the one I'd look to and of course Farrer.

I was happy to find, in unpacking and shelving all my books yesterday, that I have a copy of Hooker's Ecc. Laws. SO I at least have no excuse about a necessary condition for reading him. :o) The development of doctrine is indeed such a crucial question, as it seems to suppose a certain understanding of the kind of knowledge that the Church can find or achieve through its life and work in Christ. One issue, of course, was the church's understanding of Mary and how to construe her role for the life of all believers.
