Bishops march in London 'walk of witness' against global poverty

British Prime Minister Brown calls for progress on development goals

By Solange De Santis, Pat McCaughan and Mary Frances Schjonberg

[Episcopal News Service, London] Anglican bishops and their spouses
demonstrated on July 24 in support of poverty reduction worldwide,
walking in purple cassocks and native dress past symbols of British
power such as the Houses of Parliament and the prime minister's
residence at Downing Street.

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams and other Christian and
interfaith leaders were at the head of the march, walking behind a
banner reading "Keep the Promise/ Halve Poverty by 2015," references
to one of the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals for global
progress.

The one-hour march, which created a river of violet down Whitehall
Road, ended at Williams' residence, Lambeth Palace, across the River
Thames from the seat of Great Britain's government.

An update on the Episcopal Camps & Conference Centers tour

>By Phina Borgeson

[Episcopal News Service] "It's a little tiring, but definitely worth
it," said Bill Slocumb, more than half way through his summer visits
to 22 Episcopal camps and conference centers in 19 dioceses.

Slocumb, director of member services for Episcopal Camps and
Conference Centers (ECCC), began his Face to Face tour attending
summer staff training at four different camps. "The staffs are strong
and the kids are having a blast," he reports.

Starting at Todd Hall, a parish-owned retreat and conference center in
the Diocese of Springfield (Illinois), Slocumb drove north through
Indianapolis to Michigan, then east with stops in the dioceses of
Pittsburgh and Albany before visiting five different venues in
Province I.

"Choral Masterworks: A Listener's Guide" from Oxford University Press,
by Michael Steinberg, 321 pages, hardcover, c. 2008, $30

[Oxford University Press] Here are more than fifty illuminating essays
on the classic choral masterworks, ranging from Handel's Messiah,
Bach's Mass in B Minor, and Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, to works by
Haydn, Brahms, Mendelssohn, and many others. Steinberg spans the
entire history of classical music, from such giants of the Romantic
era as Verdi and Berlioz, to leading modern composers such as Elgar,
Rachmaninoff, Vaughan Williams, and Stravinsky, to contemporary
masters such as John Adams and Charles Wuorinen. For each piece,
Steinberg includes a fascinating biographical account of the work's
genesis, often spiced with wonderful asides, such as the true story of
Mozart's Requiem -- Salieri had nothing to do with the composition of
it, nor did he poison Mozart, who most likely died of rheumatic fever.
The author also includes an astute musical analysis of each piece, one
that casual music lovers can easily appreciate and that musicians and
more serious fans will find invaluable. The book also includes basic
information such as the various movements of the work, the
organization of the chorus and orchestra, and brief historical notes
on early performances.

More than twenty million Americans perform regularly in choirs or
choruses. Choral Masterworks will appeal not only to concert goers and
CD collectors, but also to this vast multitude of choral performers,
an especially engaged and active community.
