Renowned for its world-class vineyards & horse farms, California's breathtaking Santa Ynes Valley also boasts Mission Santa Ines, the "Hidden Gem of the Missions." The adobe Mission reigns over a mountain-rimmed expanse of the Old West, giving her perhaps the most beautiful settings of all the California Missions. She is the 19th of the 21 Missions founded by Franciscan padres from 1769 to 1823. This book traces the steps of the first European explorers who settled the Santa Barbara Coastal region & adjacent interior valleys. It describes their interaction with the Chumash Indian, as well as the cultural contributions of both groups, whose community formed the heart of what is still a largely untouched Valley. Rare archival photographs, paintings & modern photos take the reader back in time to old California. They reveal the early Mission community, preserved artifacts, the Mission's gardens, & her collection of historic paintings, statues, bells, rare "musical boards" & ornate vestments. Mission Santa Ines survived a sometimes stormy history to become one of California's greatest treasures. This book reveals her past glory through a well-researched text & her present charm through stunning color photos of the Mission & the Santa Ynes Valley.

One of the world’s foremost religion journalists offers an unexpected and provocative look at where the Catholic Church is headed—and what the changes will mean for all of us. What will the Catholic Church be like in 100 years? Will there be a woman pope? Will dioceses throughout the United States and the rest of the world go bankrupt from years of scandal? In THE FUTURE CHURCH, John L. Allen puts forth the ten trends he believes will transform the Church into the twenty-second century. From the influence of Catholics in Africa, Asia, and Latin America on doctrine and practices to the impact of multinational organizations on local and ethical standards, Allen delves into the impact of globalization on the Roman Catholic Church and argues that it must rethink fundamental issues, policies, and ways of doing business. Allen shows that over the next century, the Church will have to respond to changes within the institution itself and in the world as a whole whether it is contending with biotechnical advances—including cloning and genetic enhancement—the aging Catholic population, or expanding the roles of the laity. Like Thomas Friedman’s The World Is Flat, THE FUTURE CHURCH establishes a new framework for meeting the challenges of a changing world.
