Events
USA: Virginia, Alexandria, 2009-2010: The Prayer Book At 30
'On September 12, 1979, the General Convention of the Episcopal Church approved the 1979 edition of the Book of Common Prayer for final adoption. Unlike its predecessors the 1979 edition included a paradigm shift designed to meet the different needs and hopes of a late Twentieth Century Church. Each of the lectures in the Prayer Book at 30 series will focus on innovative aspects of the Book of Common Prayer 1979, comparing expectations with actual experience, and looking for emerging trends in its continuing use.'
Exchanges

'I am 52 and Vicar of a church in the Diocese of Liverpool, England. The church was built in 1747 and is situated near the coast, 15 miles north of the city. My wife is Jill and she is a primary school teacher. We would like to arrange an exchange with a member of the clergy and/or teacher in New Zealand for a period of two to four months starting in August 2010 or as soon as possible after that.'
