From Church Society: “Featuring a selection of editorials, articles and reviews from the 2024 issues of The Global Anglican, this digital digest is free to download.”

This Digital Digest includes a number of book reviews, several articles, and no less than four Editorials by former Archbishop of Sydney Peter Jensen. Here’s the start of one of them  –

“In the midst of a huge crisis for the Church of England and for the rest of the Anglican Communion, it may be thought that an editorial in The Global Anglican would address itself to the topic. But so much is being spoken and written about these matters, that I considered that a totally different subject may be refreshing, one that addresses the ordinary business of ministry wherever in the world it is conducted.

Thus, it will be an oddly personal editorial and I hope that readers will forgive me for it. I have been reflecting on my ordained ministry experience of fifty-five years and thought that it may interest some at least if I make some observations about what the Lord has taught me in that time. I make no claim to uniqueness or comprehensiveness or profundity, but for all that my thoughts may be helpful to some, whether in ministry or contemplating ministry, or gazing at ministry from the outside.

I offer ten aphorisms in no particular order, with an explanation for each one as I proceed.…”

– A generous gift from Church Society which, no doubt, will encourage you to think about subscribing to digital or print editions of The Global Anglican.
