Welcome to "E-Texts for the Times." This is a site on which I hope to publish many of the important documents of the Anglican Communion and ECUSA in formats compatible with the Palm Computing platform. I currently champion iSilo as a format due to it's cross-platform compatibility, heavy-duty text compression and excellent HTML parsing. It is available in both a freeware and shareware version at http://www.isilo.com.

The first additions to the library are the ecumenical documents Called to Common Mission and The Gift of Authority. Also in the library are the Oxford Movement's formative documents, the Tracts for the Times. I hope others will follow soon. If you have a submission for this library, please e-mail me.

These are the texts to Called to Common Mission from the ECUSA/ELCA dialogue and The Gift of Authority from the ECUSA/RC dialogue. They are both in iSilo format.

EpiscoCal is is a stand-alone application programmed by a classmate of mine, Richard Fichter. It is a basic ECUSA Ecclesiastical calendar that indicates Major Feast days, Lesser Feasts and Fasts, Rogation Days and Ember Days. We are debugging a version that will include the eucharistic lectionary.

These documents are primary sources for the Oxford Movement and Anglo-Catholicism. Thanks to Project Canterbury  for the original HTML source for these.

The tracts are available in iSilo format in two versions - a single monolithic 1MB document and a version split into three smaller documents for pilots with smaller RAM capacities.

COMPLETE Tracts in .zip (1MB) or .sit(1MB) format
SPLIT Tracts in .zip (1MB) or .sit (1MB) format
