The Sunday Summary!

Well, Sunday’s here. I love the Christian calendar and find it quite a lovely devotional help. So, for the lectionary-minded, it’s the 3rd Sunday after Trinity. Here’s the prayer (collect) for this week:

Almighty God,
who hast broken the tyranny of sin
and hast sent the Spirit of thy Son into our hearts,
whereby we call thee Father:
give us grace to dedicate our freedom to thy service,
that the whole world may be brought to the glorious
liberty of the children of God;
through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord,
who liveth and reigneth with thee,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

In the week past, we remembered and thanked the Lord for Bishop Broughton (first missionary bishop to Australia) and the Anglican martyrs in Uganda (1886). But, that aside, what else can we say to round up the week?

- Archbishops Peter Jensen and Rowan Williamson make the front page of the Good Weekend in the Sydney Morning Herald in a piece entitled The Great Schism. The article isn’t online, but is being discussed here and there’s a related article here.
- John Frame’s new book, The Doctrine of the Christian Life is almost out!
- For some strange reason, we’re still concerned with the Presidential election race in the US. But we’re not American…. are we?
- Dave Clancey’s church is snowed-in. Update: church went ahead, and snowmen was executed afterwards!
- Dave Miers writes a thought provoking article on Self Harm and the Cross.
- The latest Indiana Jones isn’t fantastic, but at least it’s better than the Temple of Doom.
- The World Press Photo 2008 Exhibition was fantastic! Here’s the Benizir Bhutto series, which I found very moving.
