  • Hook review: The hook is interesting; it has the right length, and it is quoted inline. I see only one issue: The partly quoted sentence reads like this in full: "What it does achieve—and this is not insignificant—is to use the Book(s) of Common Prayer to tell Anglicanism’s story in a reasonably coherent way: so much so that it almost makes me suspect, against my better judgement, that there is such a thing as 'Anglicanism' after all." Saying that Alec Ryrie is convinced of Anglicanism after his reading of the book thus seems to go too far. So, I would suggest that one uses a slightly rewritten hook a bit closer to the actual wording (e.g. ... that it made Ryrie "suspect [...] that there is such a thing".
