Diary entry, 26 May 2010

| A selection of news from the last day or two: |
| The Church Commissioners have published their 2009 Annual Report and Accounts. |
| Tom Butler's Thought for the Day contribution yesterday on the subject of 'changing your mind' (transcript) seems to have caused some reaction. The Church Mouse has a good roundup. On a related subject Maggi Dawn writes about living with differences of opinion. |
| Roger Bolton has called upon the BBC (Guardian report) to appoint a religion editor. He was speaking at the annual Sandford St Martin Trust awards for religious broadcasting, at Lambeth Palace. |
| Thousands of non-conformist records from the last 200 years have been put online. These 'rebels against Anglicanism' include Methodists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Baptists and Quakers. See the press release on the Ancestry.co.uk site, and the records themselves here. |
| The Church of Scotland has been forced to cut its publishing arm, St Andrew's Press as part of plans to tackle a £1.2 million budget deficit. John Brown, brother of the former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, has resigned from the Kirk’s Publishing Committee over the decision. The Herald has more. |
| Rev Peter Owen-Jones has been on television in recent weeks attempting to follow in the footsteps of St Francis of Assisi by living without money (Telegraph). The programme was chosen as the Church Times Highlight of the week a couple of weeks ago, but not everyone has been impressed: 'What a charade' said one Eastbourne Herald reader. |
