'Grace Cathedral in San Francisco performed Gabriel Faure's Requiem on Veterans Day, and broke with tradition, dedicating the music not just to fallen soldiers, but to all souls.' Good Samaritan: The New York Times carries this obituary of an influential and eccentric Anglican priest. 'The Rev. Chad Varah, an outspoken, publicity-sly, sometimes cantankerous Anglican priest who started a telephone hot line for the suicidal after concluding that loneliness is the most heart-rending anguish, died Thursday in Basingstoke, England. He was 95.' Women priests and their continuing battle: Rebecca Fowler writes in the Telegraph (London) on the 15th anniversary of the ordination of women to the priesthood in the Church of England.

Africa Australia Book Reviews Jenny Francis reviews Finding your
Future: The Second Time Around, by Peter Shaw, with The
Gospel of Falling Down: The Beauty of Failure, in an Age of Success, by Mark Townsend. These two practical books deal differently
with the concept of failure. [Using his own failures and struggles, Mark Townsend] shows ' how falling short of the high standards
we set ourselves as Christians can illuminate the real treasure of God’s transforming grace, if only we let it.' Peter Shaw
'aims to help readers discover what really matters to them, to encourage and challenge them by giving them tools for analysis,
so that they can understand where they have come from and where they could go in future.' Both are good books. Stephen Wright reviews History and Hermeneutics, by Murray A. Rae, with New Testament Interpretation, by Ian Boxall. 'Murray Rae is one of the Christian scholars working to join together two disciplines that have been rent asunder over the past 400 years: theology and history. He shows how this separation has emasculated both, and has impoverished scholarly engagement with scripture.' 'an Boxall’s New Testament Interpretation belongs in the useful new SCM Studyguide series. It succeeds admirably in its aim of introducing readers at first-year undergraduate level to the disciplines involved in studying the New Testament.'

Trinity Episcopal School. Austin, Texas. Coeducational, for students from kindergarten through grade eight. Vacancies Centre World Resources Worth Noting Out of Fashion: Robin Courtney writes in The Living Church (Milwaukee) on Jesus' last words. 'I suspect the best course for our little institution within Christendom is to allow it to implode, which seems to be the course of the recent past and present. If we fall apart, then we can be reformed and changed. To put a theological spin on it, if we die, then we can be resurrected. Perhaps in such a setting our focus would be more upon the message of the gospel than the survival of an institution and power games among varying factions.' The Turning of an Atheist. The British philosopher Antony Flew was one of the West’s most influential nonbelievers. Then came news — from conservative Christians — that he had recanted. But his change of heart may not be what it seems. |
