On our View from Earth style blog this week, “Sandra’s Diary” takes us to a new type of monastic community in Lambeth Palace within the Anglican church.
The Baptist Missionary Society takes us to Uganda as that African country struggles with poverty and terrorism.
The Pope has launched the Synod of bishops, with three hundred and sixty participants, in Rome and appealed for understanding of those who struggle with Christ’s ideals.
In the Church of Scotland, the moderator has spoken of the power of drama especially for children with parents in the armed forces. And last year’s moderator and his soldier son who nearly died in Afghanistan took part in an army charity parachute jump from a crane on the Clyde.
In our reflection, we go all the way with “We are Family” with Aretha Franklin and Sister Sledge in Philadelphia to the Synod in Rome on the family and the family of soldiers and ex-soldiers highlighted by moderators this past week.
