Mohammed the teddy bear case: Christian critics need to shut up
2007-11-30 19:06:00 First off, let’s not shed any tears for Gillian Gibbons, the British teacher sentenced to 15 days in a Sudanese prison for naming a teddy bear “Mohammed.” Any woman who chooses to go live in a nation with Sharia Law, where you can be jailed for allowing yourself to be raped, deserves no sympathy. More interesting to me are the curious responses from a couple of prominent Christian spokespeople. First, the Archbishop of Canterbury condemns the Sudanese court’s decision: The spiritual leader of the Anglican Church, Archbishop Rowan Williams, says Sudan’s reaction has been absurd.”I can’t see any justification for this at all,” he said. “I think that this is an absurdly disproportionate response to what is at best a minor cultural faux pas and I think that it’s done the Sudanese Government no credit whatever.” Then Dana Perino, speaking on behalf of the United States’ highest-ranking religious leader, President Geo...

The Anglican Church of Jamaica to add Bob Marley's music to its repertoire
2007-08-22 22:51:00 Recently, the news that songs by Bob Marley and Peter Tosh would be included in the hymnals of the Anglican Church in Jamaica made headlines around the world.Among the songs that will reportedly be included in the hymnals are Marley's "One Love" and Tosh's "Creation," which was his version of Psalm 27.Some found the inclusion of the songs to be controversial. The Jamaica Observer, however, quoted a church official as saying that reggae and mento music had been worked into masses on the island for 25 years.Fans of Bob Marley, of course, are unlikely to be surprised by the move.Marley's music has long had deep religious themes. As the Jamaican novelist Colin Channer once pointed out, Marley is one of the few musicians who could mix the sensual, the spiritual and the political-without contradiction.People often think of popular music as godless. In fact, some of the greatest musicians of the last century created music that was deeply spiritual. Aretha Franklin recorded a number of g...

News & Current Events :: Anglican Church in a 'Mess' over Gay Bishop Row
2007-05-30 20:21:00 Author: Eric Subject: Anglican Church in a 'Mess' over Gay Bishop RowPosted: Wed May 30, 2007 2:21 pm (GMT -4) Anglican Church in a 'Mess' over Gay Bishop Row Jonathan Petre A senior Anglican conservative witheringly described the state of the worldwide Church as "a mess" and "awful" yesterday as the Archbishop of Canterbury prepared to take a three-month break. The criticism will come as a blow to Dr Rowan Williams, who last week attempted to placate the Church's conservative wing by snubbing the Church's first openly gay bishop. Dr Williams announced that Bishop Gene Robinson will not be invited to next year's Lambeth Conference, the 10-yearly gathering of all the Church's 850-plus bishops in Canterbury. But conservative leaders remain unimpressed. At least a handful of them - who represent a huge swathe of the 70-million strong Church - are still proposing to boycott the conference. The Primate of the Southern Cone in South America, Ar...

Next year's decennial conference will be different, however. Rather than a parliamentary debating chamber with a string of resolutions, it will be a time for "spiritual reflection, learning, sharing and discerning," said Archbishop of Melanesia, Sir Ellison Pogo. The 77 million-member Anglican Communion had been considering whether to cancel the global event in the wake of heightened controversy over the Episcopal Church's recent actions and stance favoring the consecration of homosexuals and the blessing of same-sex unions. Earlier this year, Archbishop Peter Akinola of...
