Church History
Two Journals of Missionary Tours in the Districts of Manéroo and Moreton Bay, New South Wales, in 1843, by E.G. Pryce and John Gregor (published 1846). This early Australian Anglican document provides detailed first-hand accounts of the efforts of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.

A new collection of material by Scottish Episcopal Bishop and Primus Robert Eden (1804-1886) includes a wealth of interesting documents. Prayers for use during the first Lambeth Conference, an early sermon against 'Depredators and Wreckers on the Sea Coast,' an account of the bishop's travel to Russia and discussions with Orthodox churchmen, and a sermon on an early labour organisation called The International Society of Workmen all stand out as significant.

Worth Noting
Jesus is not a Republican: Religious historian (and practicing Anglican) Randall Balmer writes in the Chronicle of Higher Education on American Evangelicalism and politics. 'Evangelicals need once again to learn to be a counterculture, much as they were before the rise of the religious right, before succumbing to the seductions of power. The early followers of Jesus were a counterculture because they stood apart from the prevailing order.'

Don't call them Conservatives: Teresa Mathes, on the website of San Diego's St Paul's Cathedral, argues that the religious lobbyists who call themselves 'conservatives' are not that at all.

Missiology and Homosexuality: Bishop Terry Brown of the Diocese of Malaita in the Church of the Province of Melanesia writes on the application of the Lund Principle to current debates about human sexuality. Read his brief article to find out what that is.

The Care of the Churches: Oliver O'Donovan writes in Fulcrum about the Anglican Communion. 'At the still centre of the storm in the Anglican Communion stands the isolated, scholarly figure of the current Archbishop of Canterbury - the first holder of that office since the Reformation, it is worth recalling, to have come to it directly from outside the Church of England, and probably the only one to have received his appointment by something close to acclamation. It is necessary to recall the circumstances.'

A call for unity: Daniel Burke interviews Njongonkulu Ndungane for the Religion News Service.

Book Reviews
The Cambridge Companion to Friedrich Schleiermacher, edited by Jacqueline Marina, is reviewed in the Church Times by Paul Badham.

Evil and the Justice of God, by N. T. Wright, is reviewed in the Church Times reviewed by Alec Graham. 'Thus it is on forgiveness that he concentrates in suggesting ways in which the justice of God may be effective in public policy and in individual lives; for, as he says, forgiveness "has a claim to be at the very centre of the Christian gospel".'

How on Earth Did Jesus Become a God?, by Larry W. Hurtado, is reviewed in the Church Times by Rt Revd Dr Peter Forster. 'Although remarkable and essentially unparalleled, the worship of Jesus, for its adherents at least, did not detract from traditional Jewish worship of God the Father. It was the distinctively Christian way of offering worship to the one true God. The exalted Jesus is the "Son" or the "image" or the "Word" of God.'

Canada

Church History
Last Journal of the Rt. Rev. George Burgess, D.D., Bishop of Maine, from December 27, 1865, to April 20, 1866, edited by Alfred Lee (1866). George Burgess (1809-1866) was the first Bishop of Maine; he died while on this missionary voyage to Haiti, Puerto Rico, Cuba, St Lucia, St Kitts, Nevis, Barbados, Guadeloupe, St Thomas and other islands.

The True Church Principles of Restoration to the Episcopal Office, by John Henry Hopkins (1854). After the suspension of B. T. Onderdonk from his office as diocesan bishop of New York, the Episcopal Church grappled with the question of whether and how he could be restored to office. In this lengthy treatise, future Presiding Bishop J. H. Hopkins argued that he could never be restored.

The Work of Christ in the World, by George Augustus Selwyn (1855). This is series of four sermons preached by the first Bishop of New Zealand, George Augustus Selwyn (1809-1878). He examines four topics with characteristic insight: Christian Work the Best Interpreter of Christian Doctrine, The Work of Christ in England, The Work of Christ in the Colonies and The Work of Christ among the Heathen.

Worth Noting
The example of Jesus points the way to a meaningful pattern of prayer: Bishop Geoffrey Rowell writes in the Credo column of the Times (London). 'To know God is to seek for Him continually. In praying we reach out to our Creator who both reveals and hides Himself, “smiting on the dark cloud with the dart of our longing love” as that medieval Christian treatise The Cloud of Unknowing puts it'.
