END OF YEAR COLLEAGUES LIST SUMMARY - 2020

Dear Friends:

Thanks for joining me for the last issue of 2020!

I conclude each year with a collation of all Special Items
and other articles that have appeared on Colleagues List
during the past twelve months.

My productivity this year has been affected by the virus
and cataract surgery on both eyes at different times.

Hopefully 2021 will bring positive improvements.

Please click the links in each selection if you wish to see
an item again, or missed it the first time.

If a link appears dead, cut and paste it into the address bar
and it should work for you. Otherwise contact me at:
waholst@telus.net

Total Colleagues List issues for 2020: 44

These selections appeared as:

Book notices  - 15
Anglican Journal columns - 7
Personal reflections - 7
Colleague Contributions - 4
Other - 11

Total - 44 Special Items were sent this year.

You can reach all  CL postings for 2020 if you so choose.
They appear under each week's dateline.

During the past 16 years I have created 738 CL issues.                         That works  out to 46.1 issues on average per year.

All articles focus on contemporary religion and culture themes,
observed mostly from a Canadian perspective,

I hope we can continue together through 2021.

Wayne

Almighty God, may we each be pregnant with the hope
