Worth
Noting
Belief and Actions, Joined in Christ: AO Editor Richard Mammana interviews the Revd Hilary Streever on her summer with the Common Friars. From The Living Church (Milwaukee).
The Book of Common Prayer. 'Melvyn Bragg and his guests [Diarmaid MacCulloch, Alexandra Walsham, and Martin Palmer] discuss the Book of Common Prayer. In 1549, at the height of the English Reformation, a new prayer book was published containing versions of the liturgy in English. Generally believed to have been supervised by Thomas Cranmer, the Book of Common Prayer was at the centre of the decade of religious turmoil that followed, and disputes over its use were one of the major causes of the English Civil War in the 1640s. The book was revised several times before the celebrated final version was published in 1662. It is still in use in many churches today, and remains not just a liturgical text of great importance but a literary work of profound beauty and influence.' From BBC Radio 4.
Contentment or terror? Shirley Pearce writes on Penelope Garner, Christianity, and dementia. 'As a Christian and a mental-health professional, I have sometimes felt as if I am living in two opposing cultures. But recently, in acquiring a better understanding of dementia through my work, I have also gained a new insight into my faith.' From The Church Times (London).
Let's be upstanding for our hymns of praise. Michael White writes on Anglican hymnody in The Telegraph (London). |
