Reviews Death Redesigned: British Crematoria, History, Architecture and Landscape, by Hilary J. Grainger, and From Dust to Ashes: Cremation and the British Way of Death, by Peter C. Jupp, are reviewed by Geoffrey Rowell in the Church Times. Grainger's is a 'fascinating and lavishly illustrated study of the architecture and landscape settings of the places at which more than 70 per cent of British people are bidden farewell.' Jupp considers 'the theological, practical, and pastoral questions for the Churches.' He notes in his conclusion '"disposal of the dead has become much more a matter of convenience . . . and modes of disposal have largely lost their theological significance."' Political Economy and Christian Theology Since the Enlightenment: Essays in Intellectual History, by A. M. C. Waterman, reviewed in the Church Times by Peter Sedgwick. 'This is the definitive account of Christianity and early economic theory, and should be in every theological library in universities and colleges.' Church

Soul Sista is a ministry for girls only, part of Soul Survivor. 'We believe that something special happens when we get together, ‘just the girls’.

Noting The Gift Outright: Dr Michael Poon and Mark Macdonald, Bishop of Alaska, engage in dialogue about 'our common future'. Macdonald writes: 'Though it may seem absurd or amazing or both, it appears, at least from the perspective of mainline church institutions that the Gospel is just now about to find its first real home in North America'. Searching for the Garden of Eden: Bishop Geoffrey Rowell writes in the Times (London) on his experience of Christian life in Lake Nicaragua, where the influence of Ernesto Cardenal is quite strong. The Results Are in: A full, interesting report on 2004/2005 statistics for the Church of England reveals some encouraging and surprising news. Average giving is up to the record level of £5 a week; the highest number of new clergy were ordained since 2002; the number of children and young people at services rose slightly; cathedral attendance is up; and the biggest surprise for us was reading that some 86 percent of people in England have attended a church or other place of worship in the last year. Confirmation numbers are down, but baptisms, marriages and funerals are about steady. Youth
