It is an occasional paper written primarily to encourage leadership and collegiality among all four orders of ministry - lay persons, deacons, presbyters, and bishops - by promoting charitable, yet timely and vigorous discourse through articles and letters about church agenda and life, about church councils and moral choice, and about the way the church makes and implements decisions.'

Worth Noting
Curb the will of the majority: Giles Fraser, writing in the Church Times, argues that the Windsor Report is a dangerous document because it does not safeguard individuals' rights.

The Deans, by Trevor Beeson is reviewed in the Church Times by Bernard Palmer. 'The 22 vignettes are topped and tailed by two general chapters on the past history of cathedrals and their possible future development.'

Few dioceses are uniform in all their beliefs: an editorial in Canada's Anglican Journal.

Studia Liturgica Diversa: Essays in Honor of Paul F. Bradshaw, edited by Maxwell E. Johnson and Edward Phillips is reviewed in the Church Times by Hugh Wybrew whose review also considers West Syrian Liturgical Theology, by Fr Baby Varghese.
    Paul Bradshaw's 'research has led him to emphasise the variety and diversity of early Christian worship, and the difficulty of drawing generalised conclusions about the liturgical practice and theology of the early Church.'
    
'Fr Baby Varghese’s book is ... designed to appeal to those engaged in theological education and those involved in their churches’ worship, it is less concerned with the history of liturgy than with the meaning of fully developed liturgical tradition.'
