Hello Guest,

Church Times, 27 January 2012

Lent has not yet arrived, but our noble reviewers elected to enter the penitential season early (for a small fee) to assess this year's offerings from the publishers. And one of our comment writers wonders what can be done to attract more funerals - the C of E now conducts only about a third of them.

There's a great subscription offer running at the moment; 20% off the normal price and a free book.

Archive issues covering 1863-92 and 2000-2011 are now available on our searchable archive.
