History
An

Missionary Society's Mission in the Northern Island, by William Yate
(1835). This book about the beginnings of Anglican life in New Zealand
is part of an exciting initiative launched this week under the name Early
New Zealand Books Project.
The
Good Tidings of Great Joy, Which Shall Be To All People, by John William
Colenso (1854). Colenso (1814-1883) was the first Bishop of Natal in what
is now South Africa. This sermon was preached at the ordination of one
of the first missionaries in his diocese. Colenso's writings on biblical
inspiration were censured widely from the 1860s.

Worth
Noting
Look
Closer to Home: Giles Fraser, writing in The Guardian (London) argues
that secularists who dismiss Christianity as the choice of the stupid
should look in the mirror.
People,
Look East: Gary Kriss, writing in The Living Church (Milwaukee) asks
whether the twentieth century was quite right in jettisoning the practice
of eastward-facing liturgical prayer.
Practice
what you once preached: The Washington Post reflects on the anger
and sense of betrayal amongst African Anglicans that the home countries
of missionaries who a century ago denounced homosexuality are now more
accepting of it.
Scripture
and Sexuality: The Most Rev Dr Barry Morgan, Archbishop of Wales,
delivered a major lecture on 'our commitment to listening and learning'.
Sermon
by Richard Chartres for the 25th anniversary of the Diocese in Europe. Don't
miss this Silver Jubilee sermon. 'The Divine Word was of course made flesh
not words and Jesus Christ not only taught the truth but is the truth. He
is the communication of the Father and the human face of God.'
A
Short Course in Christian Doctrine, by George Pattison, is reviewed
in the Church Times by Peter Selby who warns that despite the title, the
book is not for 'Theology 101'. 'It is for those already some distance
along that road who will profit most from this highly original, erudite,
and passionate work, which, in its 180 pages, causes you often to pause
for breath before setting out down some unexpected route that turns out
to offer new views on how faith has developed, and is expressed.'
What
a Friend we Have in Jesus: The Evangelical tradition,
by Ian Randall, is reviewed in the Church Times by John Pritchard. 'The book
can be recommended confidently to Evangelicals who have never known their roots.
It will also prove valuable to non-Evangelicals who want to understand the origins
of some of those contemporary attitudes they stumble upon unawares, and on which
they sometimes stub their toe.'
