Exchanges
USA --> 'Somewhere exciting'
Rector of a small parish in Southwestern Virginia (Grace, Radford) is looking for an exchange
in July or August 2003 somewhere exciting and new. With four small children (5, 4, 2, and 4 months), we need a situation that is conducive
to little ones. Responsibilities would include two Sunday Eucharistic services in a beautiful church and a close proximity to rafting,
fishing, and all of the outdoor adventure offered by the New River Valley. Please email FrKris@i-plus.net

Odds and Ends
Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals: The submitter says 'ASWA is the only organization I
know of within our denomination that shows a concern for the treatment of all animals (not just endangered species). It also offers churches
literature and liturgies for a variety of prayer services specifically on behalf of animals'. The Society is based in England, but offers
resources that would serve throughout the Communion where English is the primary language.
Preaching resources
The Living Pulpit: 'An ecumenical
conversation about the importance of preaching. Each issue of the journal focuses on an important issue and then explores that issue in
depth utilizing the viewpoints of different voices for the sake of new understanding. It is our view that preachers have enough "how
to" journals available on preaching but not too much available at the level of the "so what" of preaching. Our hope is
to deepen and explore the question of the "so what"'.
Theological resources
The Institute of Early Christianity: 'Formed in 1998 with the forward-looking goal of shaping
a global movement of individuals who share an interest in early Christian literature. The vision of this effort is to engage participants
without regard for denominational affiliation or faith perspective, in the belief that discovering the early and divergent views of the
first people of faith, is a worthy end in itself'. Offers a certificate
programme and various courses, as well as an annual conference. The institute is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
