Does the lottery add up?
Article Abstract:
The British National Lottery has existed for five years, and a new license will be awarded when the existing license ends in 2001. Camelot holds the contract and has appointed a director of social responsibility, Sue Slipman. The proportion of the population that gambles has rise to 91% from 69% as a result of the lottery, and churches have started to appeal for lottery funds rather than opposing the lottery. Some fears about the lottery have become less importnat, such as concern that poorer people might gamble too much. Their problem is seen as poverty rather than the lottery.

The Lord is my shepherd
Article Abstract:
The Incarnation is as much for individual animals as for human beings, according to Rev Professor Andrew Linzey, who holds the world's first academic post in theology and animal welfare at Mansfield College, Oxford, England. He has written the first set of church services for animals ever published. He believes that it is very wrong to think that God is mainly or exclusively interested in human beings. He derives great reassurance from the fact that God is just as concerned for animals as for human beings.
