Events
England: Bemerton, 10-13 July 2014: George Herbert Festival
'a four-day event to celebrate George Herbert, centred around Bemerton, Salisbury and Wilton, where he spent the last three years of his life in rural ministry and had strong family connections. There will be presentations, talks, poetry readings, discussion groups, musical events, and local walks together with other related activities, all designed to enrich our understanding and enjoyment of Herbert's life and works.'
USA: 29 June 2014: Episcopal Social Media Sunday
'we [...] invite you to join us in being a part of making the Good News go viral. We did a little number crunching, and if even a minority of you who are already using social media post about the Episcopal Church on June 29, 2014, almost 10,000,000 of our friends and family will learn something about us and our church!'

Worth
Noting
The battle against church lavatories: 'Christopher Howse tracks down a lively campaign in Victorian England to stop lavatories being installed in new churches.' From The Telegraph (London).
Sydney Anglicans reject the sacred feminine: Elizabeth Farrelly writes for the Sydney Morning Herald. 'What has got into Anglicans? The cover of this month’s Sydney Anglican magazine, Southern Cross, shows a scarcely clad female in black lycra.' It gets worse.
Not a saint but a spelling mistake:
'A saint has just been exploded, like Bunbury in The Importance of Being Earnest.'
Christopher Howse writes in The Telegraph about St Ninian. |
