History Norfolk Island: Correspondence between His Excellency Sir W. Denison, K.C.B., Governor General of Australia and the Bishop of New Zealand. With other documents relating to Norfolk Island, and its present inhabitants (1857). This interesting correspondence revolves around the provision for 'an Island Bishopric' for the spiritual care of Pitcairn Islanders, descendants of Tahitian women and Bounty mutineers who settled on Norfolk in 1856. It is the newest addition to a dedicated directory on Project Canterbury related to the works of missionary bishop George Augustus Selwyn (1809-1878). The Rise and Main Characteristics of the Anglican Evangelical Movement in England and America, by Alexander Clinton Zabriskie (1943). This substantial overview of Anglican Evangelicalism is online thanks to the Gambier Evangelicals section of Episcopalian.org. England Miscellaneous

Noting 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. |

Noting 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.' |
