The new Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town, Thabo Makhoba, is the youngest ever to hold that office. At his enthronement he called for a healing of divisions in society, yet he faces even more serious divisions in the church.

This morning I went to hear Roger Saner speaking about the new monasticism at the Seattle Coffee Shop in Brooklyn Mall.
Roger and I have been reading each other’s blogs for about a year now, and when I heard he would be speaking less than 8 km from where I live, it seemed a good opportunity [...]
Father David MacGregor has linked together a number of reports in his Contact Online blog about the Archbishop of Canterbury’s views on introducing Sharia law into Britain, which has set a herd of cats among the pigeons. Here’s an example of what people have been saying Contact Online Weblog: Archbishop backtracks amid calls to resign

I’ve been watching from the sidelines as the Anglican Communion is tearing itself apart over homosexuality. The debate seems to generate more heat than light, and both sides seem to be talking past each other.
It seems to be a war of polemical slogans. The African “intrasigence” has provoked a storm of racist bigotry in the [...]
When trying to discover what the “emerging church” movement was about, I got the opportunity to hear one of the fundis on it, Brian McLaren, speak in Pretoria. As I’ve noted in this blog and elsewhere, most of what he said was pretty familiar, and most Orthodox Christians would find little to disagree with in [...]
As a retired missiologist I still take an interest in missiology (for those who don’t know, missiology is the study of Christian mission) and so I took an interest in a new development I discovered about 18 months ago when I found that bloggers who listed “missiology” among their interests also listed “emerging church”, and [...]
