Emerging church, gays, land, films... and corrections

There's exciting new material going up on the site all the time. Since yesterday we have added news of a film and theology site [1] (Vic Thiessen); Jonny Baker talking to Ian Mobsby about his new book on fresh expressions of church [2] and 'post-Christendom Anglicanism'; a feature article on Lent, Jerusalem and the thirst for land [3] (Simon Barrow); a plea by New Testament scholar Deirdre Good and her partner Julian Sheffield for the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church USA to resist bullying against LGBT people [4] (see also Jesus' Family Values [5]); an archive piece about theological and political responses to Mel Gibson's 'The Passion' [6]; two Ekklesia comments (on bombing bishops [7] and reform of the House of Lords [8]); plus the usual world and UK news briefing.

Also Savitri Hensman's thoughtful piece, Prayerfully seeking justice and mercy [9], on equalities law reform now and forty years ago... with a grateful nod to Archbishop Michael Ramsey. (This got temporarily lost when we moved the site on 1 March. Sorry, Savi.)

I should add that we know there are a number of glitches with the new website, and we are working to fix them. Some of the formatting has gone a bit squiffy (code instead of punctuation, and so on, in some articles and features). Plus the automatic transfers from the old site have produced a few techie problems, and there is more material to be transferred manually. Thank you for your patience.
