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).

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.
