Worth
Noting
The Church of England and Islam: Richard Sudworth is writing a series of articles for Fulcrum on the history of contacts and controversy between Anglicans and Muslims. Parts One, Two, and Three are available online; the fourth is yet to come.
A better future for the Anglican Communion?: Savi Hensman writes for Ekklesia. 'This research paper describes the background, examines the evidence on which the Archbishop's main points are based, discusses their implications, and corrects some mistaken assumptions about history and practice. Inter alia it tackles a number of key theological issues. It suggests that a two-level Communion would be practically and spiritually harmful and suggests a different approach, less focused on institutional structures, that could be more effective in addressing divisions and ultimately enabling Anglicans to move towards a deeper unity.'
USPG Action on HIV: 'The impact is of the HIV epidemic is enormous – but there is hope. Anglican Churches throughout the world are praying for change and supporting people through a huge range of programmes. What’s distinctive about the Anglican contribution is that, in many rural communities, the Anglican Church is the only source of healthcare.' Read more about it here. |
