Grace Cathedral is currently hosting (through the month of October) the
extraordinary exhibit, "Out of the Dust," from St. Paul's Chapel in New
York, the site of the Ground Zero ministry. The exhibit is a positive
reminder of humanity at its best at a time of crisis: the power of
coming together in mutual support, healing, and consolation. The
exhibit includes compelling photos, banners, artifacts, letters, and an
unforgettable timeline that recounts the stories of 9/11 from three
perspectives: the World, New York, and St. Paul's Chapel.

It's convention time in the Diocese of California, and this year's

In the not-so-distant past, overseas mission work was conducted primarily to win converts for Christ. Anglicans have a strong history of sallying forth to convert the masses that is belied by the great number of Anglicans in Africa and the Southern Hemisphere. From the Apostles, to the 21st Century, Christians have travelled far and wide to expand Christendom's borders.

Tradition!: King James I of England |
|
|
|
Written by PCN Print Edition Writers

Monday, 06 December 2004 |
King James was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her husband Lord
Darnley. James was a wan and sickly child, and would remain in frail
health for the whole of his life. His father was murdered when he was
not yet a year old, probably on the order of his mother. Queen Mary was
deposed by the Scottish lords when James was just barely a year old,
and she fled to England to seek safe haven from her cousin Elizabeth.
Elizabeth did indeed keep her safe for the next twenty years, in
prison, after which she had her killed. The lesson of history is clear:
never mind the peasants or the foreign powers—when you're royalty, your
real enemies are your own flesh and blood.

At the doorway of a Sunday School classroom at St. Peter's Episcopal
Church in Redwood City, I reached for the hands of a green-eyed,
brown-skinned girl. My job was to invite her inside to listen to a
story told in the Montessori style of Godly Play. The setting was a
gathering of clergy and parishioners from the four Spanish-speaking
congregations of the Diocese of California, who had come together to
consider the Godly Play curriculum as a way of teaching Biblical
stories in their mother tongue.
