Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission

ARCICIII

The Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission has completed the second meeting of its new phase (ARCIC III) in Kowloon, Hong Kong (3-10 May 2012).

Welcome to Our Church

Welcome to Our Church

This is a fairly simple, effective welcoming video. You could easily embed it on your own church's website. Even better: why not make your own welcoming video - easily done, upload it to YouTube, embed it on your community's website. And let us know about it.

The Lectionary is wrong

Parshat Kedoshim – What if Leviticus Rhymed?

Parshat Kedoshim – What if Leviticus Rhymed?

If you went to synagogue last Sabbath, 12th of Iyyar, 5772, or follow the wonderful system of reading the whole Bible in three years, last Saturday you would have read Parashat Kedoshim ("holy ones"), Leviticus 19:1-20:27. The video, above, is a wonderfully positive take on that text.
