  • Ex-British Prime Minister Received Into Catholic Church
    Ex-British Prime Minister received into Catholic Church LONDON – Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair became a Catholic during a private ceremony in London. Mr. Blair, previously an Anglican, was received into full communion with the Catholic Church by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor of Westminster. Mr. Blair was sponsored at the Mass of reception by his wife, Cherie, a Catholic. The Dec. 21 Mass at Archbishop’s House, the cardinal’s private residence, was attended by Mr. Blair’s family and close friends. Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor said in a statement Dec. 22 that he was “very glad” to welcome Mr. Blair into church. “For a long time he has been a regular worshipper at Mass with his family and in recent months he has been following a program of formation to prepare for his reception into full communion,” the cardinal said. “My prayers are with him, his wife and family at this joyful moment in their journey of faith together.” Mr. Blair, 54, served as British prime minister from May 1997 until June 2007. He now serves as envoy to the Middle East for the Quartet, a group comprised of the United Nations, the European Union, the United States and Russia. He was admitted into the church using the liturgical rite of reception of a baptized Christian, which involved him making a profession of faith during the course of the Mass. He was given doctrinal and spiritual preparation by Monsignor Mark O’ Toole, the cardinal’s private secretary, and also made a full confession before his reception. For most of his adult life, Mr.

  • “The Power of the Trinity in the World and in Our Lives”
    “THE POWER OF THE TRINITY IN THE WORLD AND IN OUR LIVES” National Catholic Student Coalition Conference Albuquerque, New Mexico - December 31, 1999 Welcome to New Mexico, the land of enchantment! In 1912 New Mexico finally became a state of the Union; it was the last of the forty-eight contiguous states to become a state. For sixty- two years officials of New Mexico had sought statehood, but it was thought in Washington that New Mexico was too dusty, too uncivilized and besides, most of the people here spoke Spanish. They thought we were too multi-cultural and multi-ethnic to become part of the United States. Now it is precisely those characteristics which give us our sense of pride. Not far from here is the small town of Espanola, known for its hot enchiladas, low-riders and bad jokes. There you will find one of the most charming accents of the English language –next to that of the Texas drawl and Brooklynese! Three men, a white, a black and a Chicano, are in a bar and a shapely blond walks in. They are immediately enthralled by her and keep eyeing her. Finally she walks over to them and says, “O.K., guys, I know you want to go out with me. Well, I can only go out with one of you. I will choose the one who can come up with the best sentence using the words, liver and cheese.” The white man says, “I just love liver and cheese sandwiches!” She responds with disgust, “That’s gross. Is that the best you can do? Let’s see what the others have to say.” The black man says, “I just hate liver and cheese sandwiches!” The blond shouts, “How awful! Your sentence is even worse that the first one!” She turns to the Chicano, and he, look the other two men says, “ Liver alone, cheese mine!” Guess who gets the blond, and guess where he’s from? From Espanola, of course! You have asked me to speak of the Trinity, ministry, young adults and the Catholic Church.

  • Alpha: Another Road to Rome?
    Alpha: Another Road To Rome? Commentary by Roger Oakland www.understandthetimes.org The Alpha program, founded by Nicky Gumbel, a former Oxford educated barrister-turned-Anglican priest has become very popular in North America. A brochure published for the Alpha Texas Conference in Austin, Texas, scheduled for January 8th and 9th, 1998 detailed the goals and objectives of the course. It stated: The Alpha Course is a ten-week practical introduction to the Christian faith. It is designed primarily for non-church goers and those who have recently become Christians. Alpha is a flexible and practical model that can work for a group of any size. Churches and Christian organizations of every background and denomination are discovering it to be a simple and effective way of presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ in a non- threatening manner for people of all walks of life.[1] Charisma, December 1999, also contained an article that provided additional information about the Alpha program and how it is being promoted and marketed. The article, written by journalist Clive Price titled “Alpha Course Supporters Urge British To Party With God On New Year’s Eve” was introduced the following way: Lying on a bed of nails? That does not sound like the most orthodox way of spearheading a $1.6 million evangelistic media campaign for the closing days of the twentieth century. But as British pastor Sandy Miller puts it, the aim of the Alpha Project’s millennium initiative is to help people “get the point” of the year 2000.[2] Although Nicky Gumbel’s Alpha course was founded at Holy Trinity Brompton in 1991, the effectiveness of the course was not realized until a few years later after the “Toronto Blessing” was transported to England from Canada in May of 1994.
