The ESV - Lost and Found in Translation
The commissioning of a new translation of Sacred Scripture will always raise key questions about how much any translation can meet the requirement to be faithful to original texts and, at the same time, aware of cultural needs.

Evangelisation and lay ministry top synod poll
- Written by Sebastian Milbank
In a message to the synod, Cardinal Grech said: “I am convinced that during this synodal experience you have learnt that although you were asked to take a ‘vote’, the synod is neither a parliament nor a convention but, as Pope Francis insists, it is ‘an expression of the Church’. It is a Church that walks together and reads reality with the eyes of faith and the heart of God.”

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, with the Universe media group closing, my CT column is at an end.
However….
For the last few weeks, La Croix international website has been carrying my pieces. This is the web presence linked to the French paper La Croix. The English language text is edited by Robert Mickens who is based in Rome.
I have now arranged to write a weekend column for La Croix, the first one of which is attached. Some of you on this circulation list I know subscribe to La Croix so you might pick my articles directly. Either way, I hope you will continue to enjoy your weekly read.

Liverpool Synod 2020 - Together on the Road

Dear Friends, Download Listen to the Pastoral Letter here >>>
Last weekend our synodal process, Synod 2020 - Together on the Road, reached its climax in a great gathering of synod members which took place online because of the pandemic. It was a truly amazing event with contributions from the papal nuncio, Archbishop Claudio Gugerotti, and Cardinal Mario Grech, the secretary general of the Synod of Bishops in Rome, Dr Jessie Rogers from St Patrick’s College, Maynooth in Ireland, and, most importantly, from the synod members themselves. In a truly wonderful way, all this took place online using Zoom which brought together over 400 members, observers, and contributors.
