The rite stuff in Fort Worth?
For years, Anglican-warfare watchers have been paying close attention to contacts between the old-fashioned Anglo-Catholic wing of the Anglican Communion and the leadership of the Catholic Church. And, of course, one of the most interesting and candid addresses at the recent Lambeth Conference of the world’s Anglican bishops (or about 70 percent of them) was delivered by Catholic Cardinal Walter Kasper, with the title “The Aim of Our Dialogue Has Receded Further,” urging Anglicans to say true to basic Christian traditions about scripture. Click here for a Catholic News Service report on that.

Who gets to 'reform'what?
As any regular GetReligion.org reader would know, we go out of our way to note the exceptionally good work that many religion reporters do on this very complex and difficult beat.

5Q+1: It's pronounced "Dow-thut"
One of the advantages of living and working on Capitol Hill is that there are all kinds of interesting people who live in your neighborhood. I mean, there is this house a block or so away from my computer keyboard that, these days, has all kinds of people in black suits in black cars around it these days. I think it has something to do with it being the home of the junior senator from Illinois.

Faithful GetReligion readers will remember the story of William Lobdell, the Los Angeles Times scribe whose first-person account of how covering the religion beat cost him his faith ran on the front page of that newspaper.

AP twists Anglican timeline (again)
Another Lambeth Conference has come and gone and, as you may have noticed, there wasn’t much happening in the way of news. That is, of course, the real news. The archbishop of Canterbury and his staff managed to hold a global meeting of most of the Anglican bishops without anything really bad happening in front of the mainstream press.

Trying to trim Solzhenitsyn down to size
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn did not live the kind of life that fits easily into a 700-word wire service story.
