History Nellie Peters' Pocket Handkerchief and What It Saw, by Charles Todd Quintard (1907). C.T. Quintard (1824-1898) was the second Bishop of Tennessee. In this short story for children, he depicts an episode in American Anglican life in the Confederacy. Several of John Mason Neale's children's novellas with church historical settings have been posted in searchable format by Project Canterbury. Neale (1818-1866) set Lucia's Marriage in Roman Jerusalem; The Bride of Ramcuttah depicts Portuguese Jesuit missionary life in India. He turned his attention to Georgian church history in The Lily of Tiflis, and to the era of the oecumenical councils in The Quay of the Dioscuri. England Episcopal

Noting Challengingdavinci.com: This new website produced by the Diocese of Sydney challenges The DaVinci Code's presentation of Christian history. 'Has the Church been lying for 2000 years? [...] Has someone guarded this secret for centuries? Is this all news to Jesus? Find the truth.' Crumbling churches pray for £925m: The Guardian reports that repairing Britain's crumbling churches will require £925 million. Let us pray, indeed. Let us ignore the mantras of modernity and dance the sacred dances: Geoffrey Rowell writes in the Times (London) on processions and hymns. 'It is thin gruel for the soul if [these treasures are] discarded for the ephemeral emotion of passing fashion simply because [they are] old. Mantras of modernisation can too easily cut us off from deeply rooted spiritual wisdom.' |

Reviews The SCM Press A-Z of Evangelical Theology, by Roger E. Olson, reviewed in the Church Times by Peter Forster. 'This substantial addition to the SCM A-Z series opens with a historical essay that traces the emergence of the modern phenomenon of Evangelicalism, and exhibits its multi-dimensional character... The focus is mainly upon the past 130 years in the United States, which gives the book a good analytical depth, but a limited scope.' What Have They Done to the Bible? A History of Modern Biblical Interpretation, by John Sandys-Wunsch, reviewed in the Church Times by Robin Griffith-Jones. 'The author introduces the nature and concerns of biblical exegesis, and then takes us, in successive chapters, through the history of its interpretation in the Renaissance, the Baroque, the early Enlightenment, 1700-1750, and 1750-1800. He concentrates on the 17th and 18th centuries, appropriately enough for another harmless drudge who enjoys living (as he says) in the 18th century... briskly, with "a whiff of Gilbert and Sullivan whimsy" (and none the worse for that).'

History The Lord's Supper in Relation to Christian Union, by William Augustus Muhlenberg (1873). This controversial paper by W.A. Muhlenberg (1796-1877, ECUSA feast day 8 April) advocated a high degree of intercommunion among protestant denominations in the United States. A Letter to Miss Sellon, Superior of the Society of Sisters of Mercy, at Plymouth, by Henry Phillpotts (1852). This letter was addressed by the Bishop of Exeter to Priscilla Lydia Sellon (1821-1876), founder of the Devonport Sisters of Mercy and important restorer of the religious life in the Church of England. Here, Phillpotts (1778-1869) withdraws as visitor to the community in light of public objections to Tractarian practices advocated by Sellon and the sisters.

Noting Church seeks spirituality of youth . . . and doesn't like what it finds, by Ruth Gledhill: From the Times (London) Gledhill writes that the 'Church of England has debunked the widely held view that young people are spiritual seekers on a journey to find transcendent truths to fill the "God-shaped hole" within them'. |
