Save Church of South India: 'Many cultural institutions, considered to be the conscience of our society, have failed in their role and become visible monuments of moral rot. Churches of all hues, especially the Church of South India and its dioceses, are no exception. To stem the tide of this moral corruption and stand up against the evil designs of church leadership, it is important that a remnant should arise and bear the cross.'
Worth
Noting
The
Killing of St George: It's time to retire St George,
England's patron. We've moved on as a nation and need someone
new to rally around. In The Guardian, Martin Howard sets
out the case against the saint who just doesn't seem to inspire.
Mount Athos: A visit to the Holy Mountain. The
US news programme 60 Minutes featured a segment on Mt Athos
in northern Greece where 'prayers have been offered there
every day, with no interruption, for more than a thousand
years'. Transcript and video available.
Naskapi Lectionary:
Since the
1990s, the Naskapi Development Corporation (NDC) has assisted St John Anglican Church Kawawachikamach with the selection, translation and production of lectionary readings in Naskapi. While the Naskapi New Testament has been in use in the community since it was dedicated in 2007, this event is significant because it represents the first time significant portions of the Old Testament are available in the Naskapi language.
