Vestments

Wales

Worth Noting
Companions of Life: Philip Jenkins writes in Books and Culture (Chicago) on 'the dramatic shift southward in world Christianity'. 'Christians of European descent should learn that they are not necessarily the norm within the Christian tradition, still less the authentic core; nor, perhaps, have they ever been. And whether they like it or not, the rules will continue to change and evolve, because that is the nature of growth.'

Fewer Lords Spiritual, or none at all: Paul Bickley writes in the Church Times (London) on the future of episcopal membership in the House of Lords. A related document was released last month by the Theos thinktank for public theology: Coming off the bench: The past, present and future of religious representation in the House of Lords.

The lost language of worship: Christopher Howse writes in the Guardian (London) on liturgy and culture. 'most people in Britain today do not take to Byrd and cathedral architecture like ducks to water. They are bored by high culture because they are blind to its language.

In the Church Times Gillian Evans reviews The Senses in Late Medieval England, by C. M. Woolgar. Senses 'is somewhat like the pattern in a Celtic illumination: dense, decorative, but essentially flat; though, in a similar way, the book is immensely enjoyable and illuminating.'

John Court reviews Lazarus, Mary and Martha: A Social-Scientific and Theological Reading of John, by Philip F. Esler and Ronald A. Piper, also in the Church Times. 'Some ofthe best biblical research can be focused sharply on a re-markably small amount of text... The relevant texts on the raising of Lazarus, the anointing of Jesus’s feet by Mary, and the provision of burial spices after the crucifixion are given close scrutiny, together with the problems they raise, which have puzzled commentators.'
