The November 23 Advent issue of The Living Church is available online to registered subscribers.
Our cover story announces the selection of Bishop Sarah Mullally of London as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, the first woman to serve in the role, and a news analysis by Mark Michael gathers reactions from across the Anglican world.
Also in our News section, Caleb Galaraga reports on plans for a new home for the Episcopal Church’s archives, Arlie Coles discusses a lawsuit against the ACNA by inhibited bishop Derek Jones, and Matthew S.C. Olver issues a heartfelt appeal to GAFCON leaders after their announcement of launching the Global Anglican Communion.
Several features in this Advent issue focus on the life of prayer. Kevin Goodrich unpacks the insights of three 14th-century English mystics, Caleb Galaraga narrates the decades-long ministry of the Anglican Fellowship of Prayer, and Pamela Lewis reviews a New York exhibition focused on the Psalms’ influence on medieval art and devotion. Greta Gaffin profiles 15 traditional religious orders that serve God within the Episcopal Church.
All this plus more news, features, commentary, book reviews, People & Places, and Sunday’s Readings, from an independent voice serving the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion since 1878. Consider subscribing today.
