Book of Common Prayer
The Anglican Eucharist in New Zealand 1814-1989, by Bosco Peters. 'This is the story of changing from one of the most liturgically conservative, conforming Anglican churches to being one of the most radical and varied. There are ritual controversies, fights, disputes, and ecclesiastical court cases. Parishioners throw the processional cross in the river when they object to processions. There is the account and analysis of the heady quarter of a century that culminated in A New Zealand Prayer Book He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa.'

Worth
Noting
Church can survive and thrive: The Most Revd David Chillingworth, Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld & Dunblane and Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church, writes in the Sunday Times (London). 'It's about people and not institutions. It's not about membership - it's about living a transformative faith.'
Ingham reflects on the storms of his career: When Michael Ingham, bishop of the diocese of New Westminster, begins his retirement at the end of August this year, it will be the denouement of the 20-year career of one of the Anglican Church of Canada’s longest-serving and most controversial bishops.' Leigh Anne Williams writes for Anglican Journal (Toronto).
Ten Theses for Seminaries. 'The radical structural change foretold in the Pusey Report of 1967 is upon us.' George Sumner of Wycliffe College, Toronto writes for The Living Church (Milwaukee). |
