Worth Noting
Accepting our Identity-Parade Deities,
by Jane Williams, is reviewed in the Church Times by Jane Williams. '"Yesterday, today, for ever, Jesus is the same." But is he? The way in which Jesus has been described, painted, and prayed to over the 2000 years since his birth has varied enormously... Christians are Jesus people, but that doesn't mean that we all agree about what are the most central characteristics of our founder.'

English Cathedrals: A History, by Stanford Lehmberg, is reviewed in the Church Times by Robert Jeffrey. 'Great cathedrals have to be cared for and listened to if they are to work effectively; and Lehmberg teaches us that.'

Evangelism in a Spiritual Age: Communicating Faith in a Changing Culture, edited by Yvonne Richmond, Rob Frost, Nick Spencer, Anne Richards, Mark Ireland and Steven Croft, and reviewed in the Church Times by Michael Hart. 'The subtitle says what it is about: "communicating faith in a changing culture". The problem is that many in the Church don't really believe the culture is changing... It is not that people have moved away from us: it is that we have not extended our religious bridges, nor built urgently needed new ones.'

Episcopales Latinos.org. A new Episcopalian site for Hispanic/Latino people in the Church.

Religious Identities in Britain 1660-1832, edited by William Gibson and Robert G. Ingram, is reviewed in the Church Times by Colin Podmore. History is the story of people, and the history of ideas is the story of people's ideas... the focus is on the Church of England, illuminated from within and without by studies of five dignitaries: a vicar, a Puritan, a Nonjuror, John Wesley, and a Scottish visitor (James Boswell).'

Church History

Anglican life in Persia/Iran with a focus on the educational and medical work of the Church Missionary Society.

A Narrative of Events Connected with the Publication of the Tracts for the Times with Reflections on Existing Tendencies to Romanism, and on the Present Duties and Prospects of Members of the Church, by William Palmer (1883 edition). This significant document by traditional High Churchman William Palmer of Worcester (1803-1885) has been transcribed by Dr. Tod Jones of the University of Maryland. Palmer narrates several church controversies connected with the Tracts for the Times, and explains the divergence of ritualism from pre-Tractarian High Churchmanship.

Worth Noting
'Anglican Communion Update' from the PBS Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly. The highly regarded weekly television programme provides a transcript of a brief interview with Archbishop Robin Eames.

Building and growing healthy congregations. If you have questions or need support for any of your church's ministries, you must mine this wealth of resources, this 'comprehensive and easy to use guide to building and growing healthy congregations created and maintained by the Diocese of Toronto'.

Faith and Psychology: Personality, Religion and the Individual, by Leslie J. Francis, is reviewed by Bruce Duncan in the Church Times. 'Throughout, Francis intersperses exercises and suggestions aimed at encouraging readers to test their understanding, reflect on their own experience, and begin to determine their own personality type... The reader is introduced, with admirable clarity, to the tools of practical psychology, such as research design, the use of statistics, and tests of reliability and validity.'

God and Enchantment of Place: Reclaiming Human Experience, by David Brown, is reviewed in the Church Times by David Stancliffe. 'It is with people's actual and continuing experience of the Word made flesh that this enormously engaging book begins... In the introduction he writes: "There is too much of a mismatch between what the Church takes to be significant and the actual experience of the wider population. God is to be found in nature and gardens, in buildings and place, in music and bodies, in ways to which much attention was once given but is now largely lost"'.

Sarah Jones, ordained priest last weekend after a gender change, in the Church Times's Back Page Interview, by Rachel Harden.

What the Parson Knows. An interview with Richard Morgan, winner of the Country Life's award for the best-loved country parson in the UK, by Rachel Harden. [The article is not available online from Country Life. But you can read our recent AO letter about the, er, contest.]
