The August 18 Liturgical Arts issue of The Living Church is now available online to registered subscribers.

In the cover story of our annual Liturgical Arts issue, Simon Cotton profiles St. Laurence’s, Ludlow, a mostly 15th-century Shropshire church with an amazing collection of late medieval stained glass and a commanding Gothic tower.

In the news section, Mark Michael surveys responses from across the Episcopal Church to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, and outlines plans for standalone services of same-sex blessings approved by the Church of England’s General Synod. Kirk Petersen profiles the Rev. Dr. Calvin Lane, the new editor of Covenant.

Architect Duo Dickinson reflects on the challenges and delights of capturing humanity’s longing for God in buildings, and Elizabeth Orens invites us to stand in awe of the beauty of God’s creation as we take up the challenges of climate change. Dennis Raverty reviews a Boston exhibition of Salvador Dalí’s occasionally confusing religious art.

All this plus more news, features, 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.
