Events
New Zealand: Hawke's Bay, October-November 2011: William Colenso Bicentenary
'Controversial, opinionated, insightful and passionate, William Colenso (1811-1899) had a keen appreciation of what it was to be an inhabitant of New Zealand in its earliest incarnation as a world of Māori and Pākehā. Only now, on the bicentenary of his birth can we see Colenso in the round: a talented polymath, at home crossing the Ruahines, providing Kew Gardens with knowledge of New Zealand plants, or writing and printing the only published eyewitness account of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.'

UK chaplains in Afghanistan: 'With their camouflage Bibles and combat crosses, the forces' 278 chaplains are outsiders in the church and the military.' Riazat Butt writes for the Guardian (UK).
Wall Street on Wall Street: The rector of Trinity Church, Wall Street, one of the wealthiest church institutions in the world, writes without apparent irony on the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York City.
