God. Unjust discrimination (s there another sort?) Australian dioceses suffer big financial losses.

Not
in the Communion
Anglican Independent Communion Australia: 'Our denomination originates from England and is a separate entity from the Anglican Church of Australia. We continue to believe in everything the Church of England accepted & taught before it was swamped by liberalism. AIC Australia was formed in 2006 when Reverend Peter McInnes was accepted as the Vicar-general for Australia in 2006, prior to his consecration into the Episcopate in September 2006, where one Priest was incardinated, three Deaconess’ and one Deacon were ordained into the AIC Australia.'
Religious Orders
The Society of the Precious Blood, Burnham Abbey. 'We are a contemplative Augustinian community [of women] and our principal work is worship, thanksgiving and intercession.' Founded in 1905, at Burnham Abbey since 1916.

Worth
Noting
Measuring British religion: Nick Spencer writes for the Guardian (London). 'Religion is too broad and complex a topic to lend itself to single, easy, incontestable measures. Church attendance does not measure the strength of Christianity in this country, any more than the 2001 census does.'
Thinking Aloud: The Right Revd David Chillingworth has been elected Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church. He is to our knowledge the only primate with a weblog. |
