Worth
Noting
The moral integrity that makes for a powerful speech: Geoffrey Rowell writes in the Times (London). 'In incarnation God spoke to us. Those shaped by the Spirit in the likeness of Christ are saints whose speaking lives are the true rhetoric of God’s love.'
The Power and Significance of Sacred Space: The Archbishop of Armagh, Alan Harper, spoke to the Armagh Club about the encounter with otherness in sacred spaces, about the tension between the adaptation of interiors for liturgical puposes and the fossilization of buildings, of Ireland's sacred landscapes and of graveyards that 'bear the sequential fingerprints of change'.
The Prince of Wales must keep the faith: George Pitcher writes in the Telegraph (London). 'the young Prince of Wales was burnished in an environment in which all faith was the same, any faith would do and, in his case, faith of any kind was preferable to yielding to the march of the Godless. That is where he has remained since, the boy has shown us the man and now, at pensionable age, we have an heir who will be Defender of Faith.'
The Bible's Buried Secrets: Public Broadcasting in the US (PBS) presents a two-hour programme
on the Bible as part of the series, NOVA. The episode starts airing on 18 November 2008 in the US. It is described as "a fascinating exploration
of early Judaism and the Old Testament that relies on archaeological evidence and literary research to shed light on the origins of monotheism
and the ancient Israelites, including who they were and where they came from." The website for the programme is rich in topics and includes
teacher's guides and the ability to view some of the video online before the air date on the telly.
