News in Brief
 Man of letters: Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor blesses an icon of St Paul at Westminster Cathedral on Saturday, to celebrate the start of the Year of St Paul, which marks 2000 years since the saint’s birth |
| Court rules on names on graves THE Chancellor of Birmingham’s consistory court, Judge Martin Cardinal, has ruled that a name on a gravestone could not be abbreviated, or a nick-name used, because future generations might not be aware of the shortened form of the name. He said in a ruling on 20 June that it would, however, be “entirely reasonable” to include both the full and foreshortened names. The judge was responding to a plea for a faculty from Simon Stone, to be able to inscribe a stone to his father, the late Rodney William Lawton Stone. Prayer vigil at Penarth for missing minister THE CONGREGATION of the United Reformed Church (URC) of Penarth, Wales, is holding daily vigils of prayer as it waits for news of its pastor, the Revd David Fox, aged 52, who disappeared more than a week ago while on a walking holiday in Slovenia. New theological college launched in London THE FORMATION of St Mellitus College, a new theological institution for London, was celebrated at St Paul’s Cathedral on Tuesday, in a service led by the Bishop of London, the Rt Revd Richard Chartres, and the Bishop of Chelmsford, the Rt Revd John Gladwin. The college’s first Dean, the Revd Dr Graham Tomlin, and the directors of its two constituent bodies, the North Thames Ministerial Training Course, and the St Paul’s Theological Centre, were commissioned. The college will train ordinands while they live in their communities, and will also be open to lay people. |
