In its finest expression, an Anglican "ethos," as it is often called, shows curiosity and patience with differing views, openness to honest debate and a delight in human difference. In short, the Anglican spirit is a comprehensive spirit - open, confident and inclusive. During these weeks, you are asked to reflect on one set of "Case Topics" that are of great importance and heated dispute today. Keep a file of articles, develop a brief journal of ideas, make time for conversation with colleagues and/or friends who tend to agree with you and, importantly, who tend to disagree with you on the topic. Pick one from:
Our "Case Topics" will be presented and discussed at the morning retreat at Bexley Hall.
