Worth
Noting
Crowning glory or clowning folly: Steve Parish writes for the Guardian (London) on a proposed £10m corona for Westminster Abbey.
Look, no hands: Christopher Howse writes for the Telegraph (London) on church clocks. His enthusiasm was inspired by Hugh Rock's new book with the likely title of Church Clocks.
TV and parables of our time: 'Diane Winston appreciates good television, studies it, and brings many of its creators into her religion and media classes at the University of Southern California. In what some have called a renaissance in television drama, we examine how TV is helping us tell our story and work through great confusions in contemporary life.' A fine recent episode from American Public Media's Speaking of Faith programme. |
