Week of 7 January 2006

Church History
Fifteen Sermons preached at the Rolls Chapel, by Joseph Butler (1827 edition). Butler (1656-1730) was Bishop of Durham from 1750-1752; in this series of sermons, he expounds his philosophy of moral theology. His feast day in the 1979 BCP of the Episcopal Church is 16 June.

A Memorial Representing the Present State of Religion, on the Continent of North-America, by Thomas Bray (1701). Bray (1656-1730) writes on the religious needs of colonists in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Long Island, North and South Carolina, the Bermudas and Newfoundland. This is an essential document for the history of the growth of the Anglican Communion.

The Nepowewin Station: Journals of the Reverend Henry Budd, serialised in the Church Missionary Intelligencer (1854), three instalments: April, May and June. Budd (c. 1812-1875) was the first Indigenous Canadian to be ordained to the priesthood. In this series of extracts from his journals of missionary life on the Saskatchewan River, he reflects on the difficulties of building, farming and staying warm in addition to conducting evangelical work among the Cree, Saulteaux and Assiniboine (Stoney) tribes.
