Ordained deacon in 1900 and priest in 1903, Kivebulaya was highly successful in reaching areas of the Congo no missionaries had visited previously. This biography, geared toward a young audience, includes a frontispiece portrait.

The Golden Censers of the Sanctuary; Or, the Church's Services of Prayer and Praise. Thirteen Sermons Preached at the Consecration of the New Church of St. James, Morpeth (1847). The cycle of sermons was preached during the week surrounding the consecration of St. James, Morpeth. (The parish's current website, including information on its architectural restoration, is here: http://www.parishofmorpeth.org.uk/stjames/index.htm.) The preachers of these thirteen sermons were members of the Fairford-Bisley school of mid-nineteenth-century High Churchmen, which included Isaac Williams and Thomas Keble (John Keble's brother); each sermon examines one aspect of the use and doctrine of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer.

Food in Due Season: Daily Table Blessings for the Christian year. 'Structured daily prayer has been integral to Christian worship from the very beginning. Prior to the Book of Common Prayer, the Breviary contained the Divine Office and included beautiful liturgies for midday and evening meals for several seasons of the Christian year. These were lost at the Reformation, but in a simple, stylish and elegant modern translation this liturgical treasure is made available once again, with new graces composed in a sympathetic style where there was no provision originally in the Breviary.'

Religious Orders
Society of the Sacred Cross, Tymawr: 'The Society was founded in Chichester in 1914 within the lively Anglo-Catholic parish of St. George, Wyke. Under the wise guidance of the Rector, the Revd Dr Glover, a disciplined life of prayer and study was encouraged among parishioners. From these beginnings a limited form of community was lived and four women resolved to leave homes and employment to found a House of Prayer. This they did at Tymawr in 1923. Warmly welcomed by the Bishop of Monmouth shortly after the disestablishment of the Church in Wales, the Society has received constant and caring support from the Diocese and the Province.'

The Christian Aid Book of Bread: Recipes to Change Your World, compiled by Sarah Stancliffe, is reviewed in the Church Times by Terence Handley MacMath. 'Rounded or tin-squared, shaped into plaits, hallowed by crosses - even dipped into café au lait in the crescent shape of your enemy's flag - bread is a sacrament of God's provision shaped and shared by human hands. In many cultures, all food is considered holy.'

Evil Intent, by Kate Charles, is reviewed in the Church Times by Ben Brown. 'Evil Intent is a murder mystery set against a pleasingly lurid backdrop of church politics. The arguments over the ordination of women and the position of homosexuals in church life are the two main controversies that Charles uses to add a new dimension to the traditional whodunit ingredients of sudden murder and a list of suspects with motives for the crime.'

Open to God, Open to the World: The Last Testament: Cardinal Franz König is reviewed in the Tablet by John Wilkins. 'This book, based on interviews with him [Cardinal Franz König] conducted by The Tablet’s indefatigable correspondent in Austria, Christa Pongratz-Lippitt, is something of a last will and testament... The book is full of intriguing reflections and stories and contains many pointers for the future. König was above all a man of dialogue, and each chapter considers a different field of its exercise. In view of current events there will be particular interest in what he has to say about Islam.'

A review of Grace and Necessity: Bishop Pierre Whalon takes a careful look at the ambitious undertaking of the Archbishop' of Canterbury in this book, to consider the role of art and the artist in society.
