News roundup - Sunday

On Saturday, the Guardian’s Stephen Bates had this, African bishops clash on gay issue.

The BBC’s Sunday radio programme had a segment on this too, which you can listen to with Real Audio here.

It also had a piece, partly but not entirely about Friday night’s Channel 4 TV programme with Rowan Williams, featuring an interview with Andrew Brown which you can listen to here.

On Sunday, the Telegraph has Opposing gay clergy ‘is like backing slavery’ which is based on an interview with Richard Harries, who is unrepentant over his attempt to appoint Jeffrey John as Bishop of Reading.

Meanwhile The Sunday Times has a report of letters published by Lambeth Palace Library under this headline: Queen Mother letters reveal abdication blow. They also review Diarmid MacCulloch’s book REFORMATION: Europe’s House Divided 1490-1700 (see earlier and more colourful review mentioned here last week).

For other news, including Robin Eames’ article What Price Unity? and a report from Inclusive Church see here.
