Ecumenical participants at Lambeth Conference bring shared voices,  wisdom

>By Pat McCaughan

[Episcopal News Service, Canterbury] Archbishop Boutros Nabil El-Sayah  of
the Maronite Catholic Church of Haifa and the Holy Land said he came to  the
2008 Lambeth Conference expecting to be an ecumenical observer and
discovered instead he was a participant.

He and about 70 other ecumenical guests, hailing from the Lutheran World
Federation to the Orthodox Church of Albania, the Moravian Church to the
Salvation Army, have been participating in bishop discussions groups,
offering feedback and reflection, for the first time in the history of  the
every-decade gathering of Anglican bishops from around the world.

On Friday, July 25, bishops spent time in their discussion groups  addressing
the theme "Serving Together, the bishop and other churches."

Lambeth Conference begins considering 'difficult situations'

>New Windsor paper outlines 'lack of clarity'

>By Mary Frances Schjonberg

[Episcopal News Service, Canterbury] After days of prayer,
relationship-building and public witness, the archbishops of Canterbury  and
Brisbane said July 25 that the bishops at the 2008 Lambeth Conference  have
begun to speak out on "some of the most difficult situations in the
communion" and "tensions are emerging."

However, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams told a media briefing  that
he hopes that the conference's first week will end with "a sense that it  is
worth staying together."

"[U]nity and cooperation is not a small thing and, if lost, is not to be
taken lightly," he said. "I'd like to see that sustained in the days  ahead."

>Cathedral gallery features photos of cities

>By Jerry Hames

[Episcopal Life] David Bergholz has his "eye on the city." That's the  title
of the latest art exhibit at The Gallery at Trinity Cathedral in  Cleveland
that will display the photographer's work taken in 12 major cities of  the
world.

"I have always had my eye on cities. I have watched them evolve, expand,
build up, clean up and decay," he said in a statement accompanying the
exhibit of more than 50 photographs that opened today (July 18) and will
continue until the end of August.
During the past year, Bergholz has begun to document aspects of  Cleveland's
urban landscape. "I am fascinated by this still-struggling,  post-industrial
town and the special character of its physical space."

The exhibit will include about a half-dozen of Bergholz's photos of
Cleveland. The remainder is a collection from his ramblings through the
streets of cities such as New York, Toronto, Sarajevo, Tel Aviv and
Bosnia-Herzegovina.

"The Anglican Vision" from Cowley Publications, by James E. Griffiss,  148
pages, paperback, c. 1997, $11.95

[Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc.] In this first volume to the New
Church's Teaching Series James Griffiss provides an introduction to the
Anglican tradition. He focuses especially on Anglicanism's ability to  hold
together theological continuity (especially the emphasis on the  Incarnation)
with social and cultural change. After discussing the Episcopal Church  today
and the ways in which it has changed over the past fifty years, Griffiss
shows how the distinctive Anglican approach has been lived out in its
history, spirituality, mission, worship, and approach to Scripture.
Throughout, the book stresses the place of Anglicanism in the late  twentieth
century and its ability to be both flexible and traditional in rapidly
changing cultures.

The Anglican Vision is intended for wide parish use, including adult
education, parish forums, inquirers and newcomers classes, and study  groups
throughout the church year. It includes a study guide, list of  resources,
and suggestions for further reading.
