Worth
Noting
Disagreeing Christianly:
Unity, Humility and Prophecy: Graham Kings writes on timely topics in this essay, an 'edited version of an address given to the Diocese of Lichfield World Mission Conference at Swanwick, Derbyshire, on 8 July 2008'.
A broad church with narrow attitudes: a former editor of The Times, Sir Simon Jenkins, wonders if anyone would care if the Church of
England tears itself apart.
Finding a fitting stone reminder: Christopher Howse writes in the Telegraph (London) on gravestones. 'Harriet Frazer has spent the past 20 years promoting Memorials by Artists, an organisation that puts people in touch with good lettercutters and stone-carvers. Any profits from the enterprise go to the Memorial Arts Charity, which promotes good arts and crafts for memorials (not all of which are set up above graves). In 2002, she was honoured for her work with an MBE. I think she deserves a public statue.' Worth noting, too, is the organization discussed in this article, Memorials by Artists.
Lambeth Reader: 'This Reader contains background reading for the Lambeth Conference. A number of the papers have been published in other places and at other times. The papers are collected together and re-published in this volume for the convenience of those who will be attending the Lambeth Conference. All the material is the product of particular Anglican Communion groups or networks, or has been written particularly for this Reader.' Adobe Acrobat file.
Signs on the Way: 'This special series - focusing on St John’s Gospel - complements the Bible studies in which the bishops and their spouses will take part during the Lambeth Conference 2008.
[...] The studies are structured so that they can be used either by groups or by individuals. They can form the basis of personal devotions, a church study group or perhaps a diocesan meeting.' |
