Worth Noting
A Church Opens in France: Carlyn Reynier writes in the Guardian (London) on the Church of the Holy Trinity in Nice, France. 'The church has two priorities, says Canon Letts: to serve God, and to serve his people. Financially that makes life tricky.'

A Fond Thing, Vainly Invented: Richard Mouw writes in the Christian Century (Chicago) on prayers with/to/through the saints. 'I am still not ready to start talking with Christians who have already gone on to heaven. But I am more aware of how many of us in the Protestant world operate with a too-small circle of Christian fellow travelers.'

Pentecost Is Just the Start: Denis Minns writes in the Tablet (London): 'What was true of the first Christian community remains true of us and of our communities. We experience failure within ourselves: division, bitterness, muddle-headedness and bewilderment in our communities. Luke would not have us suppose that any of this is not real; but he encourages us to see in it that imperfect humanity which the Spirit joins to itself, modelling us anew after the pattern of Christ, so that the Father's light might shine from our humanity as it does from the humanity of his Son.'
