'DIALOGUE begins when people meet each other' is the first of the four principles of dialogue suggested by the British Council of Churches in 1981. If you have not had the chance to talk in depth with people of other faiths, then listening in to Claire Disbrey's conversations is a good substitute.

Scriptures in Dialogue: Christians and Muslims Studying the Bible and the Qur’an Together, by Michael Ipgrave (editor) and reviewed in this week's Church Times by Alan Race.

Not in the Communion
Province of Christ the Good Shepherd: 'We are an orthodox Anglo-Catholic Province. We are all Spirit-filled believers who operate (some of us very powerfully) in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, and we all stress the Spirit-led preaching of the infallible Word, AND we all believe strongly in the power of the Sacraments, ministered in the tradition of the Church, to form and transform the lives of believers. Thus, we seek to combine the historical "Three Streams" of Christianity in a vibrant and living Church experience.'

Preaching
