We’ve got a wide range of material for you to choose from this month.
Just for starters, there is the News:
- The Pope and our new Archbishop – how did they get on in Rome?
- What does our new Archbishop say about the rise of anti-Semitism?
- Have you heard about the new songs for school assemblies?
- And – how girl choristers first got to sing at St David’s Cathedral!
Then – on the Church front, we have a look at:
- celebrating Father’s Day,
- we take a look at the sin of gluttony,
- the story of the well-loved hymn, Lord, for the years.
- how to join the Churches Count on Nature – 6th to 14th June
- there are ten crimes against churches each day.
Further afield, we remember important anniversaries for the painter John Constable, the actress Marilyn Monroe, the writer G K Chesterton.
As for our present daily life –
- The BBC Proms will still celebrate the USA this summer – despite Trump’s lawsuit
- Our potholes are killing more of us.
- Feeding the birds – but thoughtfully
- Hardship in childhood can lead to frailty in later life
- Are parents to blame for children’s bad behaviour in class?
- And finally – why you should never hug and kiss someone else’s cow!
All in all, we have more than enough to help you fill out and enrich your June issue – and get it to the printers on time!
With all good wishes
