News of the Church 16 – 22 June 2025

Welcome to the 16th edition of News of the Church. It’s 22 June 2025 and it is the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost although in most places people are celebrating the Feast of Corpus Christi. It’s wonderful to see the practices of Eucharistic processions returning. A couple years ago, I saw a movie called News of the World with Tom Hanks. He plays a former confederate officer, years after the Civil War. He travels from town to and town and reads aloud stories from different newspapers. He scratches out a living as a gazetteer. People were starved for news and often not literate so they paid a dime .10c a head to listen. That’s about $2.50 today. [HERE] The idea of a wandering gazetteer caught my imagination and here I am.

It’s 20 February 2025 and we are in the week after Septuagesima Sunday. Some time ago, I saw a movie called News of the World in which years after the Civil War a former confederate officer ekes out a living going about and reading aloud various stories from newspapers from all over to people who pay a dime (2.50 today) a head to listen. The idea caught my imagination and here I am, a gazetteer.
