Noting
Setting Sail: 'From June 3 to 11, 2010, over 300 delegates will gather in Halifax, N.S. for the Anglican Church of Canada's national meeting, General Synod, held once every three years. This web forum is a place to discuss the major topics that will arise at General Synod—from governance to sexuality. You are invited to join the conversation.'
Tutu's God of Surprises: 'An intimate and joyous conversation with the Nobel laureate on how his understanding of God and humanity has unfolded — from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission through the violence that marks South Africa today, and even in his friendship with the Dalai Lama.' From the Speaking of Faith programme, [American] National Public Radio.
Why Cardinal Newman is no saint: 'If Newman is in heaven, as all Catholics surely believe, he is likely to be exerting his influence with the Almighty — not to produce miracles, but to stop his own transmogrification into an official plaster saint.' John Cornwell, writing for the Times (London), is author of Newman's Unquiet Grave: Portrait of a Reluctant Saint. |
