Noting Commercialisation of Childhood: The Archbishop of Canterbury's interview in connection with a recent report on advertising and childhood. Graphic Violence: Alan Jacobs writes in Christianity Today's Books and Culture on Edward Tufte's 'profound respect for the power of well-chosen designs—charts, graphs, outlines, and so on—to convey information quickly and powerfully'. Reading Tufte, 'You learn to try out various ways to organize information—historically, thematically, geographically—and in the process you force yourself to reconsider the way you habitually organize data in your own head'. |

Reviews Faith and Politics after Christendom: The Church as a Movement for Anarchy, by Jonathan Bartley, is reviewed by Kenneth Leech. 'The "after Christendom" theme is now very popular, and is being taken up by younger people, although Stanley Hauerwas, Stuart Murray, and others have been promoting it for years... The issue with which the book is concerned is: what will happen to the political involvement of Christians in the new situation? "Everything seems to point to the growing, not diminishing, politicisation of Christians", he says. But what kind of politicisation?' The Fate of Communion: The Agony of Anglicanism and the Future of a Global Church, by Ephraim Radner and Philip Turner, is reviewed by Vincent Strudwick. 'The authors seek to engage us in an examination of the "nature and calling of the Church" in a context that they describe as being occasioned by "a host of moral issues that face all the Churches in the West and increasingly in the Global South as well"... there are attitudes to which I warm and information I am glad to reflect on; but, seductive though it is, the authors tell us only a partial story, and their solution is flawed. I fear that if we follow their lead, the outcome will be a Communion that has lost both its historic inclusiveness and its benign ethos.' The Future of the Parish System, edited by Stephen Croft is reviewed by Bill Bowder. An extract of the book is also available in an article 'The Darker Side of Parish Life" which follows the review.

Noting Evil-minded parishioners making life hell for clergy, Ruth Gledhill reports in The Times (London). It is not a crime to hold traditional values: Rowan Williams writes in the Times Higher Education Supplement. 'What is still puzzling about the debate over Christian unions in some colleges and universities being refused recognition by student unions is the underlying assumption that seems to be at work. It's as if these student unions are saying that disagreement itself is disturbing — that having different convictions is so violently disruptive that no open exchange can be allowed.' The shaping of the Bible: Souren Melikian, writing in the International Herald Tribune, reviews the collection of early Bible fragments on display at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery in Washington DC. |
