Worth
Noting
Cathedral
Cleaner Uses Toothbrush and Light Touch:
This recent story by Noah Adams of National Public Radio (USA)
provides a wonderful profile of Edwin Cardenas, who began work
as a janitor at Washington National Cathedral in 1990. He now works
as a cleaning technician and preservation expert, tending to the
cathedral's extensive fabric.
Challengingdavinci.com:
This new website produced by the Diocese of Sydney challenges The
DaVinci Code's presentation of Christian history. 'Has the Church been lying
for 2000 years? [...] Has someone guarded this secret for centuries?
Is this all news to Jesus? Find the truth.'
Crumbling
churches pray for £925m: The Guardian reports that
repairing Britain's crumbling churches will require £925
million. Let us pray, indeed.
Let
us ignore the mantras of modernity and dance the sacred dances:
Geoffrey Rowell writes in the Times (London) on processions and hymns.
'It is thin gruel for the soul if [these treasures are] discarded
for the ephemeral emotion of passing fashion simply because [they
are] old. Mantras of modernisation can too easily cut us off from
deeply rooted spiritual wisdom.'
