Liturgy
Common Worship: In November 2000, the Church of England will unveil a new generation of liturgy that will bring together many diverse styles, contributing to the vibrant worship of God across the nation. Known as 'Common Worship', the material is a mixture of old and new that promises much for the collective worship and life of the Church. The material will replace 'The Alternative Service Book 1980', which comes to the end of its period of authorization on 31 December 2000.
   As churches begin to prepare for the changeover from 'The Alternative Service Book' to 'Common Worship', the Common Worship web site will provide resources for clergy and churches to use in their own situations to help the process. As texts are authorized and published, the Common Worship web site will provide free access to all of the liturgical texts for people to read and download for their own use. The web site launches 15 November. -- http://www.cofe.anglican.org/commonworship

The scary thing about this page is that most of the time, at least one of the sentences in each paragraph almost makes sense'. -- http://www.vts.edu/2000/random.htm

The Church of England suggests that indoor plumbing is a good idea and recommends that churches start using it. New bishops elected in Northern Indiana, Calgary, and Egypt. Michael Ingham and Moses Tay go another round. More monks and nuns sought for parish churches. Bishop of Liverpool asks why the church is so kind to the press. Church of England is having a synod. Sydney Morning Herald carries Telegraph story about the Mystery Worshipper. Church of England to lose more than one-third of its seats in the House of Lords, and has asked President Eisenhower if the US can offer any help with this problem.
