It will be interesting to see exactly which customs the Vatican is going to allow from the past rich five centuries of Anglican worship, life and thought.

the falkl&s/malvinas war, twenty-five years onA generation has passed. How is the war remembered in Argentina and Britain, and how does it look through the lens of the contemporary political world? Anthony Barnett opens a series of reflections.
The unnecessary conflict in the south Atlantic in 1982 between Britain and Argentina helped sow the seeds of more momentous and destructive wars, says Fred Halliday.
The
south Atlantic islands fought over in 1982 have played a key part in
the formation of Argentina's national identity. The Malvinas "cause"
thus illuminates the complexities of modern Argentinean nationalism,
says Celia Szusterman.
Argentinas democracy and commitment to global peace are the most important legacies of the Falklands war, argues Justin Vogler.
The story of how Argentineans have responded to defeat in the Malvinas/Falklands war of 1982 contains a quarter-century of contradictions, says Ivan Briscoe.
In 1982, Anthony Barnett argued that Britain's decision to wage war with Argentina in the south Atlantic was triggered by its deep political culture. Twenty-five years on, he looks afresh at the entrails.
