Extractions: Search the diary: As a result, as I reported in the Spectator three years ago, the Cof Es astonishing ignorance of the history of Jewish nationhood in Judea, Samaria and Galilee gives off a strong whiff of supercessionist replacement theology, the doctrine going back to the early church fathers which stated that all Gods promises to the Jews including the land of Israel - were forfeit because the Jews had denied the divinity of Christ, a doctrine which lay behind centuries of Christian anti-Jewish hatred until the Holocaust drove it underground. This is the disgusting context in which tomorrows debate must be set. The Telegraph notes: The report calls on the Church to put moral pressure on firms deemed to be supporting controversial Israeli policies such as the security fence or the clearing of Palestinian homes. Its authors believe that, as a last resort, the Church should disinvest its holdings in companies that prove unresponsive. Some would also like the Church to boycott goods produced in the Israeli settlements in the South Bank. These range from flowers and dates to parts for electronic equipment. 'The Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, the Rt Rev Riah Hanna Abu El-Assal, said that the adoption of the report would send a strong signal to Israel and raise awareness. "It is not the amount of money that is important," said the bishop, who was host to the network when it visited the region last year. "It is a symbolic way of speaking for those who, for example, have had their homes demolished." He said the Church had significant funds invested in companies such as the Caterpillar group, which manufactured the bulldozers used in clearance projects in Israel. He warned the council against watering down the "mild" recommendations of the report when it is debated on Friday, saying that it would undermine the Church's credibility.

If the essentials regarding salvation were established there was freedom in the details concerning practice. Any assessment of reform will therefore depend upon the paradigm we choose for comparison. The hermeneutical divide found its expression in the Church of England in two groups, identifiable as Anglican and Puritan. Anglicans, though thoroughly Protestant in their embracing of sola fide 2. The Elizabethan settlement. The bill for Uniformity was designed to establish a uniform order of worship by imposing the Book of Common Prayer. The most significant departure from the 1552 prayer book is in the words said at the administration of the Eucharist. By combining the memorial version of 1552 with that of the more Catholic 1549 version, a compromise was wrought, which while Scriptural, allayed both Catholic and Protestant opinion. A bill was also introduced to dissolve the monasteries reestablished by Mary. The compromises led some to fear that the new religion was a realpolitik golden , or as it rather seems to me, a leaden via media or middle way of Anglicanism.

Extractions: You do not have to be a regular churchgoer to get married in the Church of England, neither must you have been baptised. The Church welcomes the opportunity for you to make your solemn promises to each other not just in front of your family and friends but also in the sight of God and with God's blessing. Your parish priest or vicar will guide you as to the most suitable method according to your particular circumstances although publication of banns is the traditional and preferred method for most couples. Publication of the banns of marriage means the public announcement by a minister or priest during Divine service that two people wish to marry, and an invitation to anybody who knows just cause or impediment to the union to declare it. Banns are usually read out in the parish church (or churches) on three consecutive Sundays during the three months prior to the marriage.

LONDON, England (Reuters) The Three Wise Men who followed the star to Bethlehem bearing gifts for the baby Jesus may not have been all that wise or even men. The traditional infant nativity play scene could be in for a drastic rewrite after the Church of England indulged in some academic gender-swapping over the three Magi at its General Synod in London this week. A committee revising the latest prayer book said the term "Magi" was a transliteration of the name used by officials at the Persian court, and that they could well have been women. "Magi is a word which discloses nothing about numbers, wisdom or gender embodied in the term," a Synod spokesman said on Tuesday after the revision was agreed by the Church of England's parliament which meets twice a year.
