ANNOUNCEMENT:
Bishop Sue has appointed Janice Roby as the new Registrar following the resignation of Kelly Appleton. As part of this new appointment we are assessing how best to keep the records required by Canon with current technology.
When Archbishop Fred was here to speak to the Friends of the Bishop Dinner in November, he talked about our relationship with the Anglican church in Cuba. For years the Anglican Church there was unable to elect a bishop of their own. The church was administered by a Council of the Primates from Canada, US and South America. For the first time in many years they have elected a bishop, Griselda Delgardo Di Capio. Archbishop Fred participated in her consecration as bishop. In his speech, Fred spoke of the spiritual strength of the people of the church there as well the poverty. He gave the example that the bishop does not have a car to travel to support the congregations of the diocese. The Friends of the Bishop at that meeting agreed to undertake the project of raising $13,000 to allow the new bishop to get a car! So far they have raised $8, 325 toward the goal. Archbishop Fred will be participating in their Synod which begins the first weekend in February. We are told that the safest way to get money to people in Cuba is to hand it to them! So Archbishop Fred has offered to take our gift when he goes.
Would you be willing to help us to get to the full amount of $13,000? You can contribute in these ways:
Our deadline for Archbishop’s trip to Cuba is February 2, 2011. We could send more later if we have someone traveling to Cuba who could take it.
Thank you for your help.

Monday, January 31st, 2011. “Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and its Fashionable Enemies” by David Bentley Hart (available on-line from www.amazon.ca for $12.96). A thoughtful and well-written examination of popular atheism that provides a useful way to think about this present phenomena that complements and enlarges upon similar themes in a number of other works such as “The Devil’s Delusion: Atheism & Its Scientific Pretensions” by David Berlinski, “God and the New Atheism” by John F. Haught, “The Disenchantment of the World: A Political History of Religion” by Marcel Gauchet.
Tuesday, March 1st, 2011. “Spoilt Rotten: The Toxic Cult of Sentimentality” by Theodore Dalyrmple (available on-line from www.amazon.ca for $24.49, paperback available after September 13th). Blessed with a gift for concision and insight, Theodore Dalyrmple is a prolific writer as well as a prison doctor. He has travelled widely and been in many of the world’s more troubled countries. He offers some challenging and trenchant criticisms of the contemporary culture and goes a long ways to providing a diagnosis for what the Canadian philosopher, Charles Taylor, long ago described as the malaise of modernity. Dalyrmple focuses on the essential matter of moral principle and its absence or neglect. The cult of feeling, as he terms it, leaves out of the moral equation the doctrine of original sin.
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011. “Nomad” by Ayaan Hirsi Ali; “Reading Lolita in Tehran” by Azir Nafisi (available on-line from www.amazon.ca for $16.00 and $13.83, respectively). Both these books reflect on the difficulties and the confusions (on all sides) of the encounter between some of the political and cultural forms of Islam and some of the forms of modernity in the secular culture of the democratic west. Nafisi’s Reading Lolita (2003) illustrates the power of literature which is capable of providing a powerful self-critique of cultures and individuals so necessary to civilized life. Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Nomad, a sequel to her book Infidel, is both a deeply personal account of her rejection of Islam and a cri de coeur for compassion and respect that, paradoxically, hints at the place for religion in the shaping of political culture.
