Anglican Boatrockers: 'We think prayerfully about structures and practice, and engage
with them where they diminish people. We are a national network to strengthen one another's voice. We meet for conversation. What we talk
about arises from those present on each occasion.'
The Church and Blindness: 'To
increase awareness for visually impaired worshippers. To launch an appeal to initiate a ministry for VIP (visually impaired people). To
encourage commercial publishers to produce more large print books and to be available in local bookshops. To Impart helpful information
to turn prayer into action.' Anglicans Online notes that this is the only religious website we have ever seen that intentionally uses
popunder windows.
Episcopal Elections
Complete
The Diocese of Massachusetts has elected the Very Revd Gayle Elizabeth Harris as the 7th
Bishop Suffragan of the Diocese of Massachusetts. Details at http://massachusetts.anglican.org/.
There is no truth to the rumour that she was chosen to avoid the expense of having to re-label the parking space allocated to 'Bishop
Harris'.
The Diocese of Mumias (Kenya) has elected the Revd Beneas Salalah Okumu as
its next bishop. Report in the East African Standard.
The Diocese of the Arctic (Canada) has elected the Rt Revd Andrew Atagotaaluk,
currently its suffragan, as coadjutor. This means that he will become the diocesan bishop when the present bishop retires. Details
on the ACC website.
Essays
This week we have two new essays by the Rt Revd Pierre Whalon, Bishop in Charge of the Convocation of American Churches in Europe: Israel,
Jews, Islam, Muslims, and European Christians, how Christians should react to right-wing violence, and Nous
sommes tous des américains, on France and its role in religious politics.

Worth Noting
Margaret Rodgers responds to Lucy Wooding's article 'Sydney’s unlikely
allies': Recently we asserted that an article in The Tablet was Worth Noting. Margaret Rodgers of the Diocese of Sydney has written
an open letter to the editor of that magazine in response to the article. That open letter is also Worth Noting. (Do you have any idea
how fearful we are in this section that we will accidentally type an extra 'h' and make it say Worth Nothing and have people think we
did it on purpose?)
