A modern morality tale
Imogen de la Bere : Here's a modern morality tale, with which traditional morality has not equipped us to deal.
Closer to the heart of God
John Bluck : The new Anglican-Methodist Covenant may take us out of our own Anglican and Methodist importance and closer to the heart of the living God.
Why I am still an Anglican
Peter Carrell : I am an Anglican by lifelong habit, reinforced by the sober realism that my superannuation prospects are tied to the Anglican Church’s pension fund.
Working together as community
The leaders of the Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian and Salvation Army churches and the New Zealand Council of Christian Social Services have come up with key recommendations to the Government.
Mishaps on the money-go-round
It’s comforting in any crisis to have a scapegoat to savage, and the most obvious targets in our market meltdown are the fat-cat financiers who erected towering portfolios on sandbanks of debt. Did they never hear of King Canute?
A gay churchman says thank-you
Russell Armitage : Is it not a supreme irony that the church is the only institution in our society that has exemption from the Human Rights Act?
Pulling the plug on GAFCON?
Peter Carrell : The extraordinary decision of the Sydney Synod to affirm the principle of diaconal presidency leads me to think they will pull the plug on GAFCON if they proceed.
Obama: regaining the word 'Christian'
Judith Maltby : Perhaps the biggest irony of American politics of the last 30 years was that it was the liberal Jimmy Carter who woke the dragon of the Christian right.
‘I am because we are’ – voting & community
Peter Beck : It would cost $5 billion to save six million children's lives, and yet world leaders could find hundreds of times that amount for the banking system in a week.
Religion undergoes a resurrection
Andrew Brown : The return of ideology has taken us all by surprise because no one expected it all to be about religion.
