Worth Noting
+Andrew: Conversations with the Primate: The first webcast of an Anglican Primate, as far as we know. 'Archbishop Hutchison has said that among his priorities as Primate are communications and the building of relationships, 'drawing people into the conversation'. Even if you're not part of the Anglican Church of Canada, you may want to have a look: this is inclusive communication on the leading edge of technology and of open communication within the church. His second 'Conversation' is also available.

The Gestures of God: Explorations in Sacramentality, edited by Geoffrey Rowell and Christine Hall. This 'collection of essays brings together 11 papers delivered at an ecumenical and interdisciplinary conference at St George’s House, Windsor, in September 2003' and is reviewed in the Church Times by Dr Kenneth Stevenson, Bishop of Portsmouth.

Jesus of Africa: Voices of Contemporary African Christology, by Diane B. Stinton is reviewed this week in Church Times by Andrew Wingate. 'She shows the way in which many African Christians are wrestling with the fundamental question of theology: who is Christ.'

INCWADI YOKUTANDAZA EBANDHLENI: 'Zulu (also known as isiZulu) is one of the major languages of South Africa, spoken as a first language by nearly 10,000,000 people. The Book of Common Prayer was first translated into Zulu in 1856 and was one of the earlier printed works in that language. It has since gone through over a dozen editions, of both the 1662 English BCP (presented here) and also the more recent South African BCP's. The version given here was printed by the SPCK in 1915 and likely was a revision of the translation by Henry Calloway, one of the prominent missionaries in South Africa. It includes nearly the whole 1662 BCP. It appears as 199:9 in David Griffiths' Bibliography of the Book of Common Prayer.'
