Youth
Children at Worship: A new organisation with Episcopal roots. From the web site: 'Our belief and observation is that the inclusion of children and youth as full participants in the regular worship life of a congregation is essential to the health of that community and brings with it a new perspective and a deepening spirituality for all. We believe that as children and youth begin to find their place in their church's worship, they will begin to take part in the decision making responsibilities not only of their churches, but will become more involved in their schools, their homes and their future jobs'. -- http://www.childrenatworship.org/

News Centre
Pope visits Israel for the first time in 50 years. Singapore bishop announces a franchise. Richard Holloway to retire. Dead Sea Scrolls in Chicago. Michael Ingham warns against a split in Vancouver. Michael Peers is in Sydney and talks to Margaret Rodgers. Bishop of Rochester writes about marriage and family; those who have one without the other are insulted. Images of Christ in the National Gallery. Cardinal Biffi warns that the Antichrist is disguised on earth and that he is a vegetarian. Golly, we hope that the Pope's advance men have cleared the area of vegetarians. Prince of Wales sponsors the Prayer Book Society. Women priests in England are feeling bleak. Synod of SE Asia supports its primate. Former ABC supports pig farmers. Hmm. Vegetarians are a threat to pig farmers, aren't they? All this, and more, in the News Centre.
