History The Necessity of Keeping our Parish-Churches, by Francis Fullwood (1672). In this pamphlet, Fullwood (c.1630–1693) argues against the creation of 'gathered churches' outside established parish churches; the author was a prominent anti-Quaker and anti-Nonconformist. Project Canterbury now hosts a collection of Pastoral Letters from the House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church USA. Touching on a wide variety of secular and religious matters, they range in date from 1817 to 1877. We are not sure when the House of Bishops stopped printing pastoral letters as distinct publications, but we hope that they will all eventually be available online. England Resources Episcopal

Gregory Jones, the dean of Duke Divinity School, writes in The Christian Century on faith and friendship: 'Holy friends also help us discern God's work in our lives and affirm gifts that we are afraid to claim.

Reviews Nurturing Child and Adolescent Spirituality: Perspectives From the World's Religious Traditions, edited by Karen Marie Yust, Aostre N. Johnson, Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, Eugene C. Roehlkepartain, is reviewed in the Church Times by John Pridmore. The book is arranged in six broad sections. 'How do the world religions view children and adolescents? According to the different traditions, how do these young people grow spiritually? What rituals and practices are seen as nourishing their inner spiritual life? What is the relationship of spirituality to ethical action? Who is responsible for nurturing spirituality? What are the social and cultural forces that shape the spirituality of the young?' The Religious Condition of Ireland 1770-1850, by Nigel Yates, reviewed in the Church Times by Richard English. 'The book's readership will be scholarly rather than general, but the work is full of fascinating detail, much of it culled from diligent research at local level.' Canada Church
History The Captive Missionary, by Henry Aaron Stern (1868). Anglican priest H.A. Stern (1820-1885) recounts his imprisonment in Ethiopia from 1863 to 1868 during the course of missionary work among the Falasha Jewish community there. Stern received a D.D. from the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1881. Report of the Missionary Bishop of Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming, by G.M. Randall (1871).

History Samuel Crowther: The Slave Boy Who Became Bishop of the Niger, by Jesse Page (c. 1892). Samuel Adjai Crowther (c. 1807-1891) was the first African Anglican bishop. This biography, written for children, follows his life and travels throughout what is now Nigeria. The Velvet Cushion, by John William Cunningham (1817 edition). This wonderfully readable (and once very popular) novel tells the story of English church history from the viewpoint of a church cushion. John Cunningham (1780-1861) was Vicar of St Mary's, Harrow; Frances Trollope lampooned him in The Vicar of Wrexhill. The Velvet Cushion inspired A New Covering to the Velvet Cushion and The Legend of the Velvet Cushion.
