Worth
Noting
Clergy
Need Help to Love Their Congregants as Themselves: Jonathan
Romain writes in the Times (London). 'A recent report on the Church
of England, The Future of the Parish System, revealed tales of
in-fighting, bullying and malicious gossip at variance with the
genteel image of church life. It seems that some Anglican clergy
spend as much time separating warring factions and avoiding psychotic
congregants as they do preaching the gospel of love.'
Poisoning
the Wells of Open Debate: Giles Fraser writes in the Church Times (London)
on blogs and bloggers.
'If
you Meet George Herbert on the Road, Kill Him':
Paul Roberts reflects on clergy life in the Church of England. This
is part two of four reflections; the others are on clergy
stress,
visiting,
and 'you
get the clergy you plan for'. |
