Anglican Lists
Saint Honoré. An email list for Anglicans and other Christians interested in discussing just about anything under (or over) the sun. Rather whimsically named for Saint Honoré — seventh-century Bishop of Amiens and patron saint of bakers of holy wafers and other confections — the list is unmoderated, welcomes diverse views, and invites all members to treat one another according to the principles of the Baptismal Covenant in the 1979 US Book of Common Prayer. See website for subscription information.

Church History
The Episcopate in America: Sketches Biographical & Bibliographical of the Bishops of the American Church, by William Stevens Perry (1895). This very important collection of information about every bishop of the Episcopal Church from 1789 until 1895 has been digitized by GooglePrint.

"Out and Out for the Lord:" James Eustace Purdie, an Early Anglican Pentecostal, by James Dunlop Craig (1995). Purdie (1880-1977) was a Canadian Anglican priest influenced significantly by Pentecostal Christianity, to which he eventually converted. This thesis was submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and the Toronto School of Theology [Adobe Acrobat format]

Record of Consecration of the Rev. John Coleridge Patteson (1861). Patteson (1827-1871) was consecrated to act as 'missionary bishop among the western islands of the Pacific Ocean' in 1861. He was martyred in 1871 on the island of Nukapu, following a significant career throughout Melanesia.

Worth Noting
The Archbishop of Canterbury's Address at the Third Global South-to-South Encounter: One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Pull up your chair, whether it's in North, South, East or West, and have a read of this brilliant, moving address on the four defining marks of the church. As we read it, the implications for the Anglican Communion are fascinating. At one point, Archbishop Williams says: 'I mentioned in passing "the instruments of Unity of the Anglican Communion". I would be much happier, I have to say, if we spoke of the "servants of Unity in the Anglican Communion", because whatever the instruments of unity are, I don’t think that they are in any sense conditions to be met for Christian faithfulness'.

Britain needs more multiculturalism: Paul Vallely, writing in the Church Times, notes that racial tensions illustrate the urgency of nurturing ethnic identity.

A Faith for Skeptics: David Winter, writing in the Church Times, reviews the recent book by John Heidt. 'It is an unusual book, with an unusual objective: to talk to sceptics as a Christian apologist without asking them to cease to be sceptical.'

Saints are a Little Strange: Jon Sweeney, writing in The Living Church (Milwaukee) looks at the strangeness of sanctity in this excerpt from his new book, The Lure of Saints.

The Worlds We Live in: Dialogues with Rowan Williams on global economics and politics: John Madeley, writing in the Church Times, reviews the recent book edited by Claire Foster and Edmund Newell. 'The Archbishop participated in, and was the link, between the debates, which were: How should the world be governed? Is there an alternative to global capitalism? Environment and humanity - friends or foes? Is humanity killing itself? For each debate, two speakers were invited, with different perspectives, plus a chairperson with considerable knowledge of the issue.'

When Faiths Collide: Michael Nazir-Ali, writing in the Church Times, reviews the recent book by Martin E. Marty. 'The book has a good analysis of liberal Western society, and of the position of religion within it, though it is unclear, sometimes, whether it is faiths that are being described, or ethnicities, or even political groups.'

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.

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.'
