The world as a whole is considerably more diverse in 2015 than it was in 1900, but diversity is now on a slight decline. While many countries in the Western world are becoming more diverse through secularization and immigration, others are becoming less diverse. In 2015 the most diverse countries are South Korea at 0.82 and China at 0.81, while the world as a whole (all countries' individual contributions) is at 0.45.

"If renewed Anglicanism has a future, it is because it is rooted in the past, in the catholic heritage of the undivided Church. This summer's International Catholic Congress of Anglicans will help us all to see more deeply both what this means, and how we are empowered and challenged to live this out." --- Fr. Lawrence Bausch

Fort Worth-area Episcopalians, who remained loyal to the national Episcopal Church and reorganized the diocese under Bishop Rayford High, have the right to appeal the decision.

Preaching and election. The doctrine of election does not dispense with the necessity of preaching. On the contrary, it makes it essential. For Paul preaches and suffers for it (literally) 'in order that' they 'may obtain the salvation in Christ Jesus with its eternal glory' (2 Tim. 2:11). The elect obtain salvation in Christ not apart from the preaching of Christ but by means of it. --- John R.W. Stott

TECinSC Files for Reconsideration*Maryland Legislators up ante on Drunk Drivers*CofE begins talks on authorizing prayers for Same-Sex Relationships*CofE Consigns Thatcherism to History
The first victims of the first crusade. This issue is better judged from the other side of the looking glass. What we actually see today is a standard of medieval behavior upheld by modern fanatics who, like the crusaders, seek both religious and political power through violent means. They offer a ghastly and ghostly reminder of what the Western world might look like had there never been religious reformations, the Enlightenment and, above all, the separation of church and state.

"This is a matter of moral character and there seems to be a serious ethical failure in this instance. I was shocked to learn she (Bishop Heather Cook) was charged in 2010 with DUI and possession of pot. Could someone tell me where the hell the Suffragan Search Committee was on this one?" --- Rev. John Farrell

The intention is to change the tone of the conversation and take some of the toxicity out of it, acknowledging that there is no agreement between, say, us and Reform. There will be a fracture and when it happens, it will be small and done with profound sadness, with a measure of grace, disagreeing well. The Conversations are a process in which it is hoped to find grace in each other where there are profound disagreements.

Our opportunity to shape churchwide reform will pass, we will not do much of substance, and in the 2020s and 2030s our churchwide structures will collapse on their own. There's going to be lots of collapse in the church, after all. ... Those surviving Episcopalians doing the mission of the Gospel will come together and create something. --- The Very Rev. Tom Ferguson, Dean Bexley Hill Seminary
