Worth
Noting
Anglican Covenant Study Guide.

The material was prepared by the Anglican Communion Working Group, chaired by Bishop George Bruce.
Living Legacy. 'Holy Trinity Cathedral is quiet save for the shuffle of shoes and clicking of tourists' cameras. Allan Davidson stands beneath the soaring pillars of the chancel and describes how the Parnell landmark's architecture reflects church history.' From The Aucklander.
Orwell
vs God: A very Christian atheist. In The Spectator, Robert Gray
examines how, in Orwell's view, 'Christianity was at once
necessary and unbelievable . . . Yet, like many English public schoolboys
afflicted by religious doubt, Orwell retained a weak and wavering
affection for Anglicanism. At his prep school, he recalled, he had
believed in God, even while hating Jesus; after all, he had been
directed "to be at once a Christian and a social success, which is
impossible"'.
Turbulent Priests? The Archbishop of Canterbury in Contemporary English Politics, by Daniel Gover: 'Covering issues as wide ranging as asylum, criminal justice, military conflict and church schools, the report seeks to answer the question: does the Archbishop of Canterbury contribute a moral voice in support of the common good that is much needed in contemporary British politics?' From Theos. |
