Lenten Resources
A roster of resources for the forty days — and into Eastertide. Know of other good sites we should list? Let
us know.
Book of Common Prayer
The Indian Liturgy (1948). 'This liturgy was originally developed in 1920 by JC Winslow, EC Ratliff, and others, and appeared as The Eucharist in India, A Plea for a Distinctive Liturgy for the Indian Church. It was sponsored by EJ Palmer, the Bishop of Bombay, and was approved for use in that Diocese with minor changes in 1923. This form thus gained the common title of "The Bombay Liturgy". The main text here is of 1948, with differences from it and the original 1923 text noted on the right.'

Australia: Canberra, 27, 28, 29 August 2008: Third Australian National University Missionary History Conference
'The theme for 2008 is the history of missionary language learning, particularly in the 19th century. Participants are invited to share their knowledge of ways in which missionaries went about learning the languages of the peoples among whom they worked. Papers on mission language policy in areas such as Curriculum, Examination, Translation, Romanization, Publishing and related issues, are among the papers sought for this conference. An important strand will be identifying how individual missionaries reported their language learning experiences. This is not a conference focussed on linguistics or related issues but upon the practical issues of language learning in the Asia-Pacific region.' Direct inquiries to Dr Ian Welch, Convenor, ANU Missionary History Conference, at ian.welch@anu.edu.au.

Worth
Noting
'Behind the "bonkers" headlines': Andrew Brown, writing for
the Church Times, reviews the firestorm of negative publicity that derived from the Archbishop of Canterbury's comments on sharia law
in the UK. It is also quite worth reading this
blog entry by the same author in The Guardian (London).
Holywell - the Lourdes of Wales: 'Roy Jenkins heads for the Lourdes of Wales - St Winefride's Well at Holywell in Flintshire. Pilgrims have been trekking to this spot for thirteen centuries to seek healing, but in this secular and sceptical age, what relevance does the well have today? Why do people come and what about those who seek healing, but are not cured?' From All Things Considered, a BBC Wales programme with no relation to the American Public Radio programme of the same name. |
