Worth
Noting
'The only sixpenny object in a penny bazaar': Peter Townley writes for The Times (London) on the ongoing value of Archbishop William Temple's vision. 'Once described as "a man so broad, to some he seem’d to be Not one, but all Mankind in Effigy", his wide informed vision checks our growing narrowness and self-obsession, his realism our Utopian perfectionism, his generosity of heart a worthy riposte to the mood of cynicism and anger epitomising the age and his statesmanship a powerful reminder of what it is to serve as the national church.'
How should children behave in church?: Giles Fraser writes for The Church Times (London).
Reporters Begging, Press Officers Blagging, Bishops Blogging: AO's Simon Sarmiento writes on all of the foregoing for The Wardman Wire. |
