8/17 Issue Online
The August 17 Liturgical Arts issue of The Living Church is available online to registered subscribers.
Our cover story shares the testimony of the Rev. Carolyne Adhola, who describes how her faith in Christ and the support of local Anglicans helped her to resist demeaning cultural practices after she was widowed at 24. She founded Daughters of Zion, a ministry which helps Kenyan widows through similar struggles, and an article by our East African correspondent Jesse Masai profiles its work.
In our news section, Mark Michael reports on a Virginia priest’s successful appeal of his disciplinary conviction for refusing to celebrate the Eucharist as a form of protest against racial injustice. Gavin Drake follows accounts of attacks on a Palestinian Christian village and K.C. Nwajei shares stories of mass killings of Christians in central Nigeria.
This issue focuses on liturgical arts, and includes tips on best practices in Eucharistic celebration by our publisher, Matthew Olver, and a guide to cost-effective ways to enhance liturgical spaces by Steve Rice. It also includes interviews with a Christian dancer and an indie rock musician, and a profile of an Episcopal choirmaster from New Orleans who is setting the psalms to jazz.
All this plus more news, features, reviews, People & Places, and Sunday’s Readings, from our independent voice serving the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion since 1878. Consider subscribing today.
