Wining and dining = reconciling | The Critic

“The Save the Parish movement, born a year ago this month, has seen its leaders chided as “rascally voices” by Archbishops, and roundly condemned by certain more excitable bishops (generally the ones closing parishes).

Is this the last chance to save the Church of England | Fr Marcus Walker, The Spectator

“And if we’re going to promise to ‘Save the parish’, let’s use those ‘limiting factors’ as our banners: ‘a building and a stipend and long, costly college-based training for every leader of the church’. !at sounds like an ambition worth having — and a more plausible and desirable one than Read more…

Save the Parish @SaveTheParish
