Prayers for President and Vice-President.

Our new President and Vice-President are now continuing to blog as their predecessors did and the President, the Revd Stephen Poxon, asks for our prayers for our Anglican friends who have had such difficult issues to deal with in the Lambeth Conference.

We will also need to pray for the President as he sets off to visit the Methodists in New Zealand and then goes on to Tonga for the coronation of their new king! He invites us to watch the Presidential blog for details of these interesting, exciting and (no doubt) inspiring overseas visits, which I will eagerly await.

Methodism - It's Effect on Gilbert and Sullivan

The Vice-President of the Methodist Conference, Mrs. Ruby Beech, in writing a post entitled 'Methodism - It's effect on Gilbert and Sullivan' on http://methodist-presandvp.blogspot.com talks about the way in which Methodism is alluded to and portrayed in the media and asks the question 'What makes the writers have their particular view of Methodism?'

Ruby has had no comments yet but I would think that an interesting discussion could come from this question posed by our Vice-President and I shall be watching to see if this happens.
