We really only have one frequently asked question, and that is, Why St. Anne’s Public House? As for the St. Anne’s part, that's short for the Company of St. Anne’s, a group of very average people who fight off the evil nasties of N.I.C.E in C.S Lewis’ novel, That Hideous Strength. We liked the idea that God uses pretty average people doing average things for His glory. The Public Houses and Coffee Houses of 17th Century England were places for public discourse. So it's the discourse, more than the alcohol, that we are emphasizing. But we do enjoy a nice Shiraz now and again. We used to be a primarily CD based journal. But when’s the last time you listened to a CD? Yup, that’s what we thought. Downloads for all available back issues are free. Thanks for stopping in. Please pull up a table and enjoy yourself.
