Schools and Education
India: St Paul's School, Darjeeling. 'Located 7500 feet above sea level and acclaimed as the highest public school in the world, the origin and early history of this well known institution, the second oldest in Bengal, dates as far back as the year 1823 when John William Ricketts, a prominent Anglo-Indian leader, conceived the idea of founding a public school to meet the needs of the growing Anglo-Indian population in Calcutta.'
Worth
Noting
Hot cross buns: Jean Fitzpatrick writes for the Daily Episcopalian. 'They inhabit that ambiguous cultural realm of grassroots customs and practices that connect us to who we are and where we've come from. In their annual reappearance the buns tie us to the procession of ordinary mortals who came before us, and to everyone else who seeks them out.'
Two great commandments: Geoffrey Rowell writes for the Times (London). 'In the end "I am" can only be known in relationship and the fundamental relationship is with God. That is why the two great commandments that Jesus gave us are the love of God with all our heart and mind and soul and strength, and the love of our neighbour as ourselves.' |
