He expressed a willingness to undergo martyrdom as did the other apostles and is accordingly called a martyr in intention . However , we have ancient testimony that , although imprisoned and exiled for his testimony to the Gospel , he was eventually released and died a natural death in Ephesus : a martyr in will but not in deed . John is credited with the authorship of three epistles and one Gospel , although many scholars believe that the final editing of the Gospel was done by others shortly after his death .

  • Anglican Covenant Probably DOA in USA

    Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, titular head of the worldwide Anglican Communion, sent out to its 38 international provinces on Friday the final version of a "covenant," an agreement on some broad structural principles. The American Episcopal Church and possibly the Canadian Anglican Church are unlikely to go along with the terms of the covenant, and that will probably relegate them to a second-tier membership in the communion.
