Noting Fashioning the world anew with winged thoughts: Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks writes for the Times (London). 'Great words make people think in new ways. We are as big or small as language makes us. At its best, language is an epiphany, revealing to us the glory of the human spirit and the radiance of the created world.' A kingdom, but not as we know it: Christopher Rowland—Dean Ireland Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture at the University of Oxford—writes for Ekklesia on disestablishment of the Church of England. 'It has always struck me as a very strange phenomenon that a church rooted in Scripture can so readily try to offer theological support for an established church.' Your Church Wedding: 'Whether you're just contemplating marriage, or already planning your wedding day, your church wants to help and support you. And, on October 1st 2008 a new law came into effect, meaning there are now more churches to choose from for your special day and for generations to come.' From the Archbishops' Council of the Church of England. Sound & Spirit (produced by WGBH, Boston (US) distributed by PRI) provides a selection of one hour podcasts. Eclectic and cross-cultural, playlists and bibliographies are also available. |

Noting 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. |
