New: 4/19 TLC Online April 6, 2020 Features The April 19 edition of The Living Church is available online to registered subscribers. In this issue’s cover story, G. Jeffrey MacDonald describes how churches are wrestling with the challenges of moving their worship services online. Meanwhile, Ephraim Radner considers the possible downsides of worshiping online at all. In the News section, Kirk Petersen reports on the special coronavirus challenges faced by Episcopal congregations in the Diocese of Haiti — starting with the fact that many homes lack running water for hand-washing. Mark Michael describes push-back in the Church of England to clergy being banned from entering their churches, even alone for live-streaming. In the Ethics column, Stanley Hauerwas laments the loss of the everyday habits that underpin our relationships with others. In Cæli enarrant, Christopher Wells explores how we can disagree on matters of importance and yet continue to honor our shared faith. The Spring Books issue is packed with an eclectic collection of reviews, with topics including St; Augustine, Paul’s letter to the Romans, Norse mythology, social decadence, and a bishop’s debut novel dealing with values of the prairie. All this plus more news, People & Places and Sunday’s Readings, from an independent voice covering the Episcopal and Anglican world since 1878. Consider subscribing today.
