Music
The 100th anniversary of the death of Sir John Stainer, March 2001: Sir John is best known as a composer of religious music (his work 'Crucifixion' remains popular), as professor of music at Oxford University and as organist of St Paul's Cathedral. London. His most popular works were published by Novello in London and included manuals on organs, composing, choral singing and harmony. These works, first published between 1871 and and 1878 had sold over 300,000 copies within and without the United Kingdom by Sir John's death in March 1901; they remained in print until the mid-20th century. Novello also published Stainer's more scholarly works, most notably his work on Early English music in the Bodleian Library, Oxford ('Early Bodleian Music', 1901). There is a special website providing a biography of Stainer, assessing his legacy and listing commemorative events taking place in Oxford, UK. -- http://members.tripod.co.uk/johnstainer

Religious Orders
Melanesian Brotherhood: The web site of a most interesting brotherhood, 'founded by a remarkable man named Ini Kopuria, a Solomon Islander on the Island of Guadalcanal in 1900. After being educated at the Anglican church schools of Pamua and later in Norfolk Island he joined the British Protectorate's native armed police force. But in 1924, when he was recovering in hospital from a leg injury, he received an experience of Christ, which was to change his life. He believed that Christ spoke to him and told him that he was not doing the work that Christ wanted him to do. He began, with the encouragement of Bishop John Manwaring Steward, to realize God was calling him to start a community of native Solomon Island men who would take the Gospel of Christ to all who had not received it.
   Much of the population of the Solomon Islands lived on remote islands, villages high up in the hills and bush or coastal villages with no easy access either by sea or land. Ini Kopuria believed the Gospel was for all people and just as he had visited remote villages as a policeman, now he would visit as a missionary. On St Simon and St Jude's day, October 28, 1925, he made his promises renouncing possessions, marriage and freedom of action. He gave away all his property and a large area of his family's land to the Brotherhood. The following year the first six brothers joined him'. -- http://www.orders.anglican.org/mbh/
