I'm currently making my way, slowly, through Thornton's English Spirituality : An Outline of Ascetical Theology according to the English Pastoral Tradition.  His Christian Proficiency looms large in a personal spiritual turnaround several years ago, but I am even now more of a fan of Thornton having read what I have thus far in English Spirituality.  I plan to post some of his thoughts from that book on the role of St. Augustine in the English ascetical tradition, which have affored me a new way of looking at St. Augustine as an Anglican. 

At Bishop Stephen Scarlett's suggestion, I plan to read Thornton's Pastoral Theology next.  For those of not familiar with Thornton, check out Dallman's two sites, The Catholic Anglican and Akenside Press.
