Worth
Noting
Covenanters and Covenanting: Many are writing much about the proposed Anglican Covenant. We've spent some time with The Covenant: Antarctic Study Guide, The Guide to the Anglican Covenant for Dummies, To 'Covenant' or Not to 'Covenant' and Can the Instruments of Unity Be Repaired?. We still don't really know what any of it means.
Miserable offenders: Alan Wilson continues his series in The Guardian on the BCP. 'The gloomy prayers of the BCP are simply a communal stare over the precipice into an abyss, but from a place of grace.'
The Faith of Generation Y:
The Church of England has published the results of a five-year study which found Generation Y has a faint cultural memory of Christianity but is not hostile towards religion. At the bottom of this article is a link to an audio podcast with lead author, Sylvia Collins-Mayo, discussing the study.
