A lively and thought-provoking book on the churches initiative on the year 2000 interspersed with practical help and ideas to help the Church face up to a new era. Boring, out-of-date and irrelevant? Or do churches have a place in the new Millennium? On 2nd January 2000 the Queen will be attending church as part of a nationwide initiative to encourage people to give church a chance at the start of the new millennium. Thousands of local churches will open their doors and make a manifesto commitment which will include the following: The place will be warm Your children will be looked after The sermon will be relevant You won't be made to look stupid The service will be intelligible There will be good coffee afterwards You will be given a chance to think about God This book will prepare for this initiative and the Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey, and Archbishop of Westminster Cardinal Basil Hume will both contribute practical ideas and ways for churches to implement The Churches Manifesto for a New Millennium. Everything a church will need, from whatever tradition or denomination, to be ready for the big day. Advice, tips, check lists and addresses will be included along with lots of encouragement and support.

More glimpses of the enchanting tapestry of people and places in David Wilbourne’s rural Yorkshire. With humour and tenderness, A Summer’s Diary takes up where A Vicar’s Diary left off at Easter 1966. England is enjoying the release of The Sound of Music and is gearing up to host the World Cup--but the Vale of York has affairs of its own to tend, and enough colourful characters to make a country vicar’s life more than interesting. From parishioner Bill Everingham’s preoccupation with the word ecclesiastical, to a visit with some of the local women to a pig factory, to acquainting a holier-than-thou aspiring vicar with the earthier realities of daily parish life, A Summer’s Diary is a rollicking celebration of rural living. Filled with laughter, tears and love, here is rainbow reflection of life from one of today’s best-loved writers.

The war years were to present the BBC with some of its toughest challenges to date - in the wake of air-raids, evacuation and the closure of the fledgling television service, the BBC had a potent motive to keep their audience informed, entertained and inspired. In answer to the trials of war the Home Service was created, and despite the desperate conditions, it is still considered by many to have been the greatest era of radio broadcasting. A major function of this new service was to communicate the Christian message to a nation whose faith was on the rack of war, and it was to this end that the BBC first contacted C. S. Lewis. As a layman, Lewis's critics initially claimed that he was not qualified to talk on Christian matters, but for Lewis, used to the scholarly debates of his beloved Oxford, this was all part of the challenge of reaching a new audience. And reach them he did - Lewis's incredibly popular BBC talks were published as Mere Christianity and to date have sold over 11 million copies worldwide. This rich chapter in Lewis's life, dealing with his complex relationships with the personalities behind the BBC, as well as his love-hate affair with broadcasting itself, has traditionally received little attention from biographers and commentators - and yet it was C. S. Lewis's work on the radio that made him a household name.
