Church
History
The
Compleat Mother: Or An Earnest Perswasive to all Mothers (especially
those of Rank and Quality) to Nurse their own Children,
by Henry Newcome
(1695). To our knowledge, this is one of the first and most
complete
Anglican treatises on breastfeeding. Newcome (1650-1713) marshals
an
extensive array of material--scripture, patristics and Anglican
canon
law--to make his case against sending children to wet-nurses.
The
People's Book of Worship: A Study of the Book of Common Prayer, by
John Wallace Suter and Charles Morrison Addison (1919). This is a brief
examination of the history of the Book of Common Prayer, and
introduction to the contents and use of the 1892 BCP of the American
Episcopal Church.
Some
American Churchmen, by Frederic Cook Morehouse (1892). In this volume,
F.C. Morehouse presents relatively brief biographies of Samuel Seabury,
William White, John Henry Hobart, Philander Chase, George Washington Doane,
John Henry Hopkins, Jackon Kemper, William Augustus Muhlenberg, James
Lloyd Breck and James DeKoven.
The
Tyndale Society. Founded in 1995 out of the William Tyndale Quincentenary
Trust, the Tyndale Society arranges conferences, lectures and social activities
about English Bible translator William Tyndale (c. 1494-1536). It also
publishes periodicals concerned with the history of the English reformation.

The
Latino Experience. A UK-based initiative of the South American Mission
Society (SAMS), the Latino Experience sends European Christians 17-30
years of age to South America on cross-cultural mission trips and for
gap year evangelism experiences.
Events
USA: [Texas] Dallas, 20 August 2005: Creating
a Community of Resurrection: Jesus, the Gospel, and the Church.
Rev. Dr. R. William Carroll of the Univ. of the South, School of Theology,
will speak at an all-day seminar at the Episcopal
Church of the Transfiguration. 'We will examine the ways in which
the Church is described in the Creed - "one, holy, catholic, and
apostolic" - and what these words might mean for us today. . . Without
sacrificing a realistic sense of the flaws and limitations of any human
community, we will consider how the Church might best live out its holy
calling.'
