Worth
Noting
General Synod papers online: Agenda and Papers November 2010 are available through the CofE's website; a much more useful digest of these items is available from Thinking Anglicans.
Jesus Was an Episcopalian (And you can be one too!): 'The point of this audaciously anachronistic title is not to claim Jesus as our own (how very un-Episcopalian that would be!), but to inspire us to see how Jesus is found in the many and varied expressions of faith that two thousand years of Christendom has birthed.'
Theo Hobson, complaining that the English way of religion is dominated by nostalgia, class, and embatrrassed evasion, elaborates in Comment is Free that 'Britain's illiberal attitude to the church has driven me away'.
