Anglican Update
Pax Trumpana?
By the time you read this Anglicans will be observing the season of Advent. Given the momentous events in the USA and the decisions that await our own General Synod in the New Year, I suspect this will be an Advent season in which we will be caused to think deeply upon the issue of governance.

But it is a verse that in fact reminds us that thinking deeply on issues of governance at the time of Jesus’ birth is nothing new.
