Hello Guest,
Church Times, 11 May 2012Now we know what fun Private Eye has when it picks its front page. The main feature this week is about fiction written for the Christian market, and how it’s moving away from safe areas into topics that real people might encounter. We spent far longer than we ought choosing the words for the speech-bubble on the front. Rejected lines included ‘But darling, I’m your bishop’ and ‘Take that fresh expression off your face’. Also this week: we review the BCP exhibition at Lambeth Palace Library, and reproduce the Bishop of London’s fine sermon on the subject. And you think your church services are long? Try a consecration in Zanzibar. . . Subscribers can read all of this and more - click here to subscribe. |
