What a very attractive and Christ-centered publication! Now how ’bout letting us see that “hilarious video of a rector complaining about his church’s over-active schedule?”
I am astounded at the depth and quality of your Diocesan newspaper. Our diocese is always scrambling for stuff to put into ours, and usually has to do a wrap around of Episcopal Life.
Except for the article on EFM*, it is a very good magazine. And a lot longer than I expected! So much packed into such a little space.
* I found EFM to be a propaganda program for the [b]NON[/b]-inspired-ness of Scripture — i.e., primitive campfire tales from a nomadic tribe trying to make sense of their universe.
I took two years as a student and mentored the third year, taking the mentor instruction for a fourth year before our church dropped the program.
One lady at the Mentor training at Trinity told the group, “Oh it is so good to have the course tell us that the Bible is NOT the literal inspired word of God, that I don’t have to believe every bit of it! Such a relief!” My comment was “that’s what most of my classmates DON’T like about the course”, which was not well received. So I know whereof I speak.
By the way, this was before the revision, which I hear made things worse.
RE: #5. I actually had a reappraising friend to have the reverse comment on EFM. She found it too orthodox and traditional for her tastes. She is now in seminary and finds it much more liberating than the narrow confines of EFM.
I see the notice [blockquote]”President of Anglicans for Life
Meets with Diocesan Clergy”[/blockquote]. How many other dioceses would host such a meeting? Way to go “that other SC Diocese.”

I notice that Education for Ministry (EFM) is featured on page 14.
Kendall et. al. are to be commended for dedicating so much of the newsletter to youth issues.
