Anglican Down Under: Spiritual and Sacred Links

Supplied by a colleague in the UK:

I hope all is well and prayers for you during the coming week.

#1 Vaughan Roberts on St Stephen. #2 Bishop Tom Wright's timely reminder of God's plan for restoration of creation and human relationships; #3 Professor Alister McGrath on John Stott's 'Double Method' of listening to contemporary culture and then expounding the Gospel faithfully in terms that it will understand. Please pray for the Church of England and the church under pressure.
