The formula for a thriving Church
SIR – It seems to me that your two articles in the pre-Christmas edition (December 16) – revealing Portsmouth’s Bishop Philip Egan as your Catholic of the Year and including Fr James Bradley’s feature on the revival of Catholicism in Greenville, South Carolina – had distinct and illuminating similarities.
Although separated by the Atlantic Ocean, the character and energetic sense of mission of Bishop Egan and Fr Bradley’s account of the impressive rise of Catholic witness in a part of the United States have a lot in common and much to commend to the wider Catholic Church.
