Worth
Noting
Indigenous documentaries online: 'General Synod [of the Anglican Church of Canada] has released six documentaries of national Indigenous Sacred Circles for general viewing online. Since 1988, six Sacred Circle meetings have brought together hundreds of Indigenous Anglicans from across Canada to share experiences, celebrate the work of the spirit, and take steps toward self-determination.'
The
Man Mountain of Fleet Street: In The Spectator,
AN Wilson reviews Ian Ker's massive new biography of GK
Chesterton. 'Why is his book so long? Partly because he
is as artless as it is possible for a narrator to be. Not
for Ker to tell us simply that in 1921 Chesterton and his
wife went on an American lecture tour. We have sentences
such as: "On New Year’s Day 1921 the Chestertons left London’s
Euston Station at 8.30 in the morning for Liverpool, where
they arrived at 1.45 p.m"'.
No Pleasure in the Death of the Wicked: Deonna Neal of US Air Force Academy and University of Edinburgh ethicist Oliver O'Donovan reflect in The Living Church on the killing of Osama bin Laden.
