News Centre
Synod has a thousand stories; we tell you nine of them. Church condemns jailing of teenagers. Australian archbishop signs
'Recognised Churches' legislation. A parish will become a police station. Christopher Howse on British Jews. Clergy want to wear
t-shirts and jeans in church. Episcopal communicators to prove the existence of one of their members. Australia releases draft legislation
about women bishops. Obituary of late Dean of Derby. Unmarried women in Nigeria must flee. More reflection on Sharia. Optimism in
Bury St Edmund; presidential election politics. And 'Who wants to be a vicar?'. All this, and quite a bit more, in the News Centre.
Not in the Communion
The Anglican-Episcopal Church: 'To proclaim the word
of God as set forth in the Holy Scriptures and the teachings of the Early Church Fathers. Apostolic, sacramental, liturgical, scriptural,
evangelical, the Anglican[-Episcopal] Church provides a means for the faithful to worship in a manner consistent with Biblical doctrine
and centuries-old Anglican tradition. We use the King James Version of the Bible. In the Anglican Communion, the Book of Common
Prayer (1928 edition) plays the identity-sustaining role-. -- http://www.anglican-west.org/

Worth Noting
'A Fourth Way: On the Anglican Communion as an Ecumenical Fellowship', Mark Harris, a priest of the Episcopal Church in
the USA, looks at the limits of communion: 'I would (in good company) contend that (i) for most Episcopalians there is nothing about
the Episcopal Church that requires fixing (outside our normal processes of perfecting our life together) and that (ii) there is
no power in the Anglican Communion to fix it anyway, for the Anglican Community is a glorious example of Ecumenical Hospitality,
not an example of patriarchal ecclesiology'. -- http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~lcrew/joy120.html
