Welcome
First A REQUEST FROM THE EDITOR TO OUR REGULAR READERS:
Subscriptions for 2010 remain at the same level as 2009 but margins are tight so we would be grateful if you would renew your subscriptions before the turn of the year. As you will have seen, subscription forms were included with the autumn issue; but they are also available on this website. Some of you have asked if a direct debit or credit card system could be arranged, and our treasurer, Dean Stephen White has agreed to do his best to arrange this for 2011. For the coming, year, though, we hope you won't find it TOO tiresome to have to write and post a cheque! There may be a few remaining subscribers who still haven't managed this feat - (thank you to the majority who did!) - and if this is the case, one cheque for the two years will do nicely, thank you. Do please make sure to alert our treasurer Dean Stephen White in Killaloe, to any changes in your postal or email addresses. Click here to re-subscribe
SEARCH - A Church of Ireland Journal, first saw the light in 1978 as the successor to New Divinity and Resources. Coming out three times a year, in Spring, Summer and Autumn editions, it aims to stimulate theological and church-related discussion both in Ireland and wherever the life and thought of the Church of Ireland and the wider Anglican Communion is of interest. An effort is made to include articles from beyond these shores, indeed from as many continents as possible. We also invite contributions from all areas of the Anglican theological spectrum, in the hope of helping some Anglicans at least to better understand each other's points of view. Nor are our contributors necessarily Anglicans, or even Christians. We at SEARCH put a high value on ecumenical dialogue.
While all the articles, we hope, are theologically literate, many are not written by professional theologians; some writers may be historians, language specialists, parochial clergy, artists, teachers - any one to whom the life of the Church is important. The bottom line is that whatever we offer our readers, it should be readable, relevant and helpful. At least once a year, we offer a "one subject" issue, so as to explore many aspects of one key issue of the time. Most of our contributors do so by invitation; but the editor, the Revd Canon Dr Ginnie Kennerley, is glad to receive submissions. Those wishing to offer articles for publication are asked first to contact her , using the address on the left.
From the beginning of 2007, The Association for Promoting Christian Knowledge (APCK) has taken over as publisher of SEARCH from the R.E. Resource Centre. However all editorial queries should be addressed to Canon Kennerley, while distribution and financial matters are now handled by the Very Revd Stephen R White, Dean of Killaloe, whose address is on the left of this page.
We are fortunate to have the Revd. Canon Professor John Bartlett as chairman of the editorial committee and the Revd. Darren McCallig as honorary secretary.
