Worth Noting
The Bible, The Church and Homosexuality, edited by Nicholas Coulton, is reviewed this week in the Church Times by Canon Robin Gill. Among the strengths of the essays, Canon Gill sees the contribution of Margaret Bedggood, the recently retired Professor of Law at Waikato, human-rights expert and activist, and Third-Order Franciscan, [is the real] find [...] She argues with knowledge and passion that the Church should embrace human rights more actively.

Holy Orders and the Completeness of the Church, by H. J. M. Turner, is reviewed in the Church Times by The Revd Jonathan Baker. 'Turner describes a decline into a more merely functional attitude to ordination. This is illustrated by, for example, the almost complete collapse, in much of modern Anglican thinking and practice, of any sense of the local priest as the representative of the bishop, the paterfamilias of the whole household; and by the enthronement of the parish priest — the rector or vicar — as the only exemplar of holy orders who, in practice, really counts.'

Interesting Times in India: A Short Decade at St Stephen's College, by Daniel O'Connor, is reviewed in the Church Times by Dr Bernard Palmer. The 'short decade' is 1963 to 1972 when Daniel O'Connor joined the faculty at St Stephen’s College, an offshoot of the Cambridge Mission to Delhi. 'His main concern was how best to dovetail his educational and ecclesiastical roles: how to divide his time most profitably between coping with his students as a tutor and, in his own words, "learning to be a post-colonial missionary". He had also, he soon discovered, a political part to play.'

Descartes: the Life of René Descartes and its Place in His Times, by A. C. Grayling, is reviewed in The Tablet by John Cottingham. If interested in Descartes and early seventeenth century political and intellectual ferment, and if willing to exchange the ideas of methodical movement into the scientific age for one of an anarchic"Bable of ideas" then Descartes may well be worth your time.


Week of 6 November 2005

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.'
