Australia prepares to elect a new primate. Please hurry: we need archbishops
with good sense in that part of the world. Britain argues about homosexuality
and law, but we don't cover the story because we think it's British national
news and not Anglican news. Primates from Singapore and Rwanda consecrate
two Americans as bishops, presumably to send to the USA to create schism.
We have extensive coverage of this. More on the Wee Frees, including some
commentary on just how wee they are. Bishop of Wakefield writes a Credo.
British government suggests that the church could do more to help the
homeless. ("... after all, aren't those churches mostly empty these
days?") Ruth Gledhill writes about an ancient clock at St Albans.
A new issue of Beowulf on CD ROM. A new book about the Church of England,
which we will call "major" at least until we've had a chance
to read it. England continues to writhe over the issue of divorcees remarrying
in church. All this, and more, in the News Centre.

Augustine, Confessions: An Internet edition of a substantial work

and eventually went out of print. The entire work is now available on
the Internet free of charge. The work provides a complete Latin text of
the Confessions, a detailed scholarly commentary on the text line-by-line,
and a lengthy interpretive introduction, http://www.stoa.org/hippo/comm.html, the
most accessible part of the book to Latinless readers. -- http://www.stoa.org/hippo

A Portrait of Jesus: From Galilean Jew to the Face of God: 'The Christian
faith is a historical faith which emerged from a historical person: Jesus
of Nazareth. History has always informed the Christian faith -- creeds,
councils, and developing traditions over the centuries have led to present
day belief systems. This study takes a step further back in history to
learn more about the historical Jesus'. The site is based on the work
of Marcus Borg, 'scholar, Christian, and author, who uses the terms "pre-Easter
Jesus" to talk about the Jesus of history and "post-Easter Jesus"
to talk about the Christ of faith'. -- http://www.united.edu/portrait/

won't stay out of the news, even when Prince Charles gets angry upon seeing
it. Time to put poetry back into God's language. The ECUSA has a major
crisis about its General Convention (come on, just cancel it and spend
the money on your web site instead). Various world primates slap Frank
Griswold. Lutherans wriggle about the Concordat. Desmond Tutu preaches
another great sermon. Bishop Spong about to retire. Church attendance
figures rise if you count people who attend once a year. England plans
to double the number of Church of England schools. Another great bishop
dies (do they make them like they used to? We think so). Parliament of
World Religions meets and is reported upon. Quebec creates a French-speaking
Anglican parish. Lorem Ipsum. More news about the Scottish nun in trouble
with church authorities. BBC takes heat for cutting back its religious

underpinnings no longer make sense'. -- http://www.sofn.org.uk/
