Reviews The Postcolonial Biblical Reader, edited by R. S. Sugirtharajah, reviewed in The Church Times by Michael Doe. 'So read this book if, like me, you need to find out more about new ways of reading the Bible, and whether this leaves scripture with any authority. Read this book if, like me, you want to understand why liberals from the North and post-liberals from the South have agendas different from those of the conservatives in the Global South. But don’t expect easy answers.' Anglican Papalism: An Illustrated History 1900-1960, by Michael Yelton, reviewed in The Church Times by Kenneth Leech. 'The word "papalist" was first used - in scorn, Yelton tells us - by Sidney Dark, sometime editor of The Church Times. But later it was used with pride by those who believed that the provinces of Canterbury and York were part of the Western Church, having been severed from Rome by events for which they were not responsible.' Church
History The Christian Sacrament and Sacrifice, by Daniel Brevint (first published in 1673, 1847 edition). Brevint (1616-1695) was a native of Jersey who ended his life as Dean of Lincoln. This examination of the theology of the eucharist was an important influence on early Wesleyan eucharistic theology, and it was originally slated for inclusion in the Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology. Facts about the Church's Mission in Haiti, by James Theodore Holly (1897). This pamphlet by J.T. Holly (1829-1911) provides a look at the needs and life of the Episcopal Church's mission to Haiti under his care. Holly was the first African American bishop of the Episcopal Church; a proposal for his inclusion in the ECUSA's calendar of Lesser Feasts and Fasts will be considered at this summer's General Convention.

Noting Do They Like Me?: United Methodist pastor James Howell writes in The Christian Century (Chicago) on the importance—or ultimate non-importance—of likeability in pastoral ministry. A Sermon for Low Sunday: Retired cathedral and seminary dean Gary Kriss preaches on the differences between a parish and a congregation. 'Members of a parish come because it is their home. They come because they belong, because they want to be there, because they feel connected and want to be with and support one another—in faith and love, in wonder and expectation. If our goal and our commitment is to be a parish in that sense, this parish has a great future.' Why the Church has been such a blessing: Ivan Hewett writes in The Telegraph on 'the muted and respectable spiritual uplift of the Anglican responses and canticles, which are still the staple musical fare of our cathedrals and parish churches'. |

Reviews Worship without Dumbing-Down: Knowing God through Liturgy, by Peter Toon, reviewed in the Church Times by Peter McGeary. 'Words and actions matter. They express what we believe — or, at least, they should... [Toon makes] a useful attempt to reconnect liturgy and doctrine in a particular context. And that is something we should be doing, whether we use the Book of Common Prayer or not.' A Sociological History of Christian Worship, by Martin D. Stringer, reviewed in the Church Times by Christopher Irvine. Stringer saves the reader from sociological jargon, 'define[s] his terms, and at every turn to explain the direction and flow of the argument... Due consideration is given to the origins of Christian worship; but we are shown how worship diversifies as it develops, influencing — and itself being coloured by — the social context in which it is set.'

History Essays on the work entitled "Supernatural Religion", by J.B. Lightfoot (1893). Project Gutenberg announces the online publication of this important work by English biblical and patristic scholar Joseph Barber Lightfoot (1828-1889). Lightfoot served as Bishop of Durham from 1879 to 1889. The Mind of Christ Jesus in the Church of the Living God, by Charles Henry Brent (1908). Brent (1862-1929) was the Canadian-born American Episcopalian first Bishop of the Philippines. 'I have two objects in mind in writing this Charge. First to make clear to my present and to my prospective fellow-missionaries the principles that actuate my administrations. Secondly that donors to this Missionary District may labour under no misconception as to the character of the work which their gifts support.' England Episcopal

Noting Dismantling the barriers to belief. The first in a series of articles in the Church Times by Alister McGrath. The remainder are The attempt to disprove God; Reports of the death of God are greatly exaggerated; and Reconnecting with our storytelling roots. Blood Sport: This editorial from The Living Church (Milwaukee) address the roles of the media as the Episcopal Church USA prepares for its next General Convention. 'Ubiquitous discussion lists, blogs, and websites have made instant newsgathering, analysis, and commentary a part of life within the Church. While these forums are invaluable communications tools with powerful potential as tools for ministry, they also can and are being used as powerful weapons.' The logic of all purity movements is to exclude: Andrew Linzey, writing in The Times (London) argues that Anglicans should listen to the Holy Spirit and not to schismatic fundamentalists. Thinking Faithfully about Sex and Marriage: On 19 April 2006 the Primate's Theological Commission of the Anglican Church of Canada released this report by the Reverend Jamie Howson. It is also available in Adobe Acrobat format. |
