Noting Anglican Peace Conference keynote address: The Presiding Bishop of the American Episcopal Church gave the keynote address at the Second Worldwide Anglican Peace Conference in Okinawa. Beware the wrath of the church organist: John Bingham writes in The Telegraph (London). 'But when an organist played a slowed-down version of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious from Mary Poppins, even the most tone deaf members of the congregation eventually recognised, sending them into gales of laughter.' Thinking the unthinkable: 'Under its new Pope, the [Roman] Catholic Church begins to feel like an animal that has emerged from winter hibernation, blinking in the sunlight and looking for pastures new.' One of the signs of the new approach, he suggests, is the renewal of the international Anglican-Roman Catholic theological dialogue. By the editor of The Tablet (London). |

Noting Profile of Anglicans and Other News: British Religion in Numbers has a new set of numbers about British religion. Jonathan Clatworthy writes about it here. 'Called or collared?' sacrifices of the Anglican priesthood: Lancaster University Management School has announced the publication of a study of the personal cost of being a priest, 'Managing clergy lives: obedience, sacrifice, intimacy.' One of the authors is Nigel Peyton, who is now bishop of Brechin, and the book stems in part from the research which earned him a doctorate at Lancaster. The authors referred to the 'panopticon of ordination', suggesting that the clergy's self-regulation to meet the expectations of their parishioners is not unlike the experience of prisoners, who are always liable to be watched by their warder. |
