Book Reviews
Consuming Passion: Why the Killing of Jesus Really Matters, edited by Simon Barrow and Jonathan Bartley, reviewed in The Church Times by Paul Oestreicher. 'What is radically questioned is that it was the will of God that his Son should die as a sacrifice for the world's sin, and that only so could the world be saved.'

Breaking the Mould of Christendom: Kingdom Community, Diaconal Church and the Liberation of the Laity, by David Clark, reviewed in The Church Times by Martyn Percy. A less than self-conscious 'argument for the radical overhaul of a system that appears to lack self-consciousness (that is, Methodism). It is about de-traditionalising the Church, and getting back to Kingdom values and practices.'

God's War: A New History of the Crusades, by Christopher Tyerman, reviewed in The Tablet by Jonathan Riley-Smith who summarizes his own review: 'This is a serious, competent and well-written survey of the existing state of knowledge, with respect to the narrative of the crusading movement.'

The Old Enemies: Catholic and Protestant in Nineteenth-century English Culture, by Michael Wheeler, reviewed in The Church Times by Bernard Palmer. 'It is the purpose of this engaging study to examine why these ancient divisions [Roman Catholic and Protestant], originating in Reformation times, should have cut so deep and lasted so long; and how 19th-century writers — novelists and poets, historians and essayists, theologians and pamphleteers — reinterpreted them.'

Canada
Ontario: Parish of Vankleek Hill [St John the Apostle, Vankleek Hill; St Paul, Fenaghvale; St Paul, East Hawkesbury] (Ottawa)

Church History
A Sermon Preached on Thursday, November 29, 1759, by Edward-Pickering Rich (1759). In this sermon, English poet-priest E. P. Rich gives thanks for the British army's victory at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham near Quebec City.

A Vindication of Their Majesties Authority to Fill the Sees of the Deprived Bishops, attributed to Edward Stillingfleet (1691). In this pamphlet, an author believed to be Edward Stillingfleet (1635-1699) argues for the crown's authority to replace Nonjuring bishops who refused to take the Oath of Allegiance to King William. This document in particular was occasioned by the refusal in 1691 of William Beveridge (1637-1708) to become bishop of Bath and Wells, the see vacated in that year by Thomas Ken.

(Unlike 19th-century England, the US will probably not prosecute and imprison priests who persist in Catholic liturgical practises.)

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.

Worth Noting
The Heartlands of Anglicanism: The Most Reverend Njongonkulu Ndungane, the Archbishop of Cape Town, has written this substantial reflection for the consideration of the primates of the communion. 'We will find authentic Anglican answers if we conduct our debate within the fertile territory of the rich Anglican heartlands, engaging with one another in a godly spirit of tolerance, trust and charity, and having confidence in the living tradition of our Anglican structures, as part of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church, through which the Lord has preserved us, guided us and led us, so mercifully in the past.'

On friends: L. 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. They help us to dream God's dreams in ways we otherwise never would have.'
