Listen to the Archbishop's Address [12Mb] What have we achieved? What are the challenges we've discovered? What are the lessons we've learned? There's no absolute measure for achievement. In critical times quite small things may be quite large achievements. And so, if we reflect on what we've done in the last ten days, then it may be that even some apparently very routine things are real achievements. We've got up every morning; and we've prayed every morning; we've read scripture together; we've affirmed our will to stay in relation; and we've done some planning. We have sent forward work on the aid and development alliance, on theological education, on evangelism and church growth, on the Bible in the Church. We've agreed on the follow-up to the work of the Windsor Continuation Group. We've even agreed on the substance of the Covenant, including, and we should remember this, the timescale for that work. |

 We say a great many things in church (and out of church too) without thinking of what we are saying. For instance, we say in the Creed " I believe in the forgiveness of sins." I had been saying it for several years before I asked myself why it was in the Creed. At first sight it seems hardly worth putting in. "If one is a Christian," I thought " of course one believes in the forgiveness of sins. It goes without saying." But the people who compiled the Creed apparently thought that this was a part of our belief which we needed to be reminded of every time we went to church. And I have begun to see that, as far as I am concerned, they were right. To believe in the forgiveness of sins is not so easy as I thought. Real belief in it is the sort of thing that easily slips away if we don't keep on polishing it up. |

This book is a delightful introduction to the movement and flow of Episcopal services and demonstrates how the liturgy can transform human lives. Markham shows persuasively how the whole purpose of the Christian liturgy is to provide us with the resources to enable God to facilitate healthy and authentic living. |
