Tim Henman carried the tennis banner for British tennis in a career that saw many great highs. This is my short tribute to Tim by way of his Tour Finals. Sadly, there was no Wimbledon title to go with them but that doesn't detract from a quite remarkable career. Tim's main tribute was probably having the famous 'Hill' named after him (the picnic area for fans near Court One at Wimbledon), but everyone who remembers his quest there will recall the highs and the lows as he became one of the last great serve-and-volley tennis specialists in the game.

The story of the first family of Indian tennis begins in 1933, when T.K. Ramanathan bought a tennis racquet by selling a piece of his wife's jewellery. Within a few years' time he was ranked No.3 in India, but little did the small tennis-playing community in the country realize that his passion for the game would author the most glorious chapter in the history of Indian tennis. Though TKR never quite made it to the international circuit, both his son Ramanathan Krishnan and grandson Ramesh went on to represent India in numerous Davis Cup games; between them they won sixty tournaments and achieved rankings of World No.3 and World No.23 respectively. Today, they continue to train some of the rising stars of the game at the Krishnan Tennis Centre. Well-written and absorbing, the Krishnans' saga is a must for every fan of the game.

In July 2000, the General Synod of the Church of England passed a motion asking the House of Bishops to initiate further theological study on the episcopate, focusing on the issues that need to be addressed in preparation for the debate on women in the episcopate in the Church of England. This report is the result of that reflection. The report sets out as clearly and objectively as possible the options open to the Church of England in this matter and outlines the surrounding theological and practical issues. The report discusses: the background to the debate; the historical development of episcopacy; the parameters for a theologically responsible debate on women and the episcopate; the development of women's ministry; the timing - whether now is the right time to ordain women bishops; the theological and practical consequences of possible future options.
