- Notes
- The writer appeals to reader to send their proposals for the clarification of the words "Sanctity" and "Doctrine" to the editors. "We will publish everything we think can make a contribution to this debate". These words occur in the text of the motion passed at the 2004 General Synod, affirming "the integrity and sanctity of committed adult same-sex relationships" which was passed at least partially in reaction to the disappointment of many members with the decision to defer the original motion asking for the authorization of same sex blessings to the Primate's Theological Commission. "What did General Synod intend when it used these terms ? Was there an established meaning for either word to which Synod could appeal ? .... Is it possible for the church to hold some doctrine without being aware of holding it ?"

- In August 1994, at the invitation of the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches, liturgists and leaders of worship from nearly all Christian traditions met in Ditchingham, England to reconsider the implications of worship for the ecumenical quest. The event produced an exciting report and the letter reproduced in this article.

- Notes
- "The following paper was given to an Evangelical Society several years ago. It is, as such, somewhat polemical in its approach to the question it addresses. In spite of the author's anxieties that it may give a `BAS Society' impression, I have included it because it touches on the theological concerns of many Anglicans, not just about the BAS, but about the renewal of the liturgy in general. I found it most helpful. Perhaps another reader could write about Anglo-Catholic witness after the BAS. D.H.S."

How is the Bible authoritative for us ?

- Notes
- The author considers "how the Bible is authoritative for us. One of the questions we need to ask is, then, is `What can we learn about the nature of the Bible's authority from its own internal evidence ?" The author focuses on the apostle Paul who"was well aware of the way that scripture could be used to thwart the purposes of God; but his conversion did not lead him to deny the authority of scripture. Rather, his encounter with the Crucified-and-Risen-One revolutionized his way of interpreting scripture" (p. 1). "Although the various references in scripture to other controverted issues (such as divorce) betray some latitude of opinion, the few references to homosexuality in the Bible clearly speak with one voice. However, if we use this fact as the grounds for taking these utterances as binding, we are using scripture as authoritative in a legal sense. .... But the authority of scripture is the authority of revelation, not of a legal code (p. 5)". "It should be clear that expecting scripture to be the source of sovereign decrees for resolving our painful controversies is a fairly limited use of the Bible, and one that may fail us in those very moments when we are most desperate for it to work. For the Spirit of God uses scripture to exercise an authority far richer and more profound than the authority of binding edicts: an authority to probe our hearts, an authority to create new life. It is only our modernist hang-up with objectively demonstrable proofs that has seduced us into this all-too-limited expectation of the Bible" (p. 6).

- Notes
- A positive and appreciative review of the ICEL's collection of Proper Prayers for the Mass for Sundays and Holy Days based on the new lectionary. "The collection is important because it provides a prayer for each of the three years, unlike the BAS propers which (except for three Sundays in Lent) provide only a single set for any one Sunday". "The use of inclusive language for the divine may be modest by current sensitivities, yet the issue has clearly been in view in the composition of these prayers .... The Gospel is the reading most frequently echoed, but the other readings are heard as well in these graceful and passionate prayers. Sometimes they are a bit longer than Anglicans are accustomed to, but proclaimed with poise and care they `collect' the prayers of the gathered people eloquently".
