Additional Weekday Lectionary and Amendments to Calendar, Lectionary and Collects
GS 1724 Not authorized for liturgical use (except in accordance with any designation under Canon B 5A) Additional Weekday Lectionary and Amendments to Calendar, Lectionary and Collects Report by the Liturgical Commission INTRODUCTION 1. The Texts for Authorization attached to this report fall into three distinct parts: (I) The Additional Weekday Lectionary (II) Minor amendments to the Common Worship Calendar (with a consequential amendment to a Collect and Post Communion) (III) Minor corrections to the Common Worship Lectionaries. This covering report offers an explanation of each of these elements in turn. I: ADDITIONAL WEEKDAY LECTIONARY Background 2. The provisional Weekday Lectionary which was authorized in 2000 included (in addition to the Daily Eucharistic Lectionary) two office lectionaries which were unrelated to each other. The Office Lectionary, commonly used at Morning Prayer, provided readings that were generally in sequence, while the Second Office Lectionary, commonly used at Evening Prayer, aimed to offer two readings which were complete in themselves and would therefore make sense to a congregation which had not heard the previous day’s readings. Because these readings were intended to ‘stand alone’, the Second Office Lectionary was colloquially known as a ‘pillar lectionary’. 3. The 2000 Weekday Lectionary was authorized on a temporary basis with a view to revision in the light of experience of its use. In fact, there was general dissatisfaction with it and the Liturgical Commission therefore decided to propose a complete replacement, rather than a revision. The ‘pillar lectionary’ in particular was widely criticized. Many people wanted to use a ‘continuous’ lectionary at both offices, and the current Weekday Lectionary which received Final Approval in February 2005 therefore provides for ‘continuous’ reading of Scripture at both Morning and Evening Prayer.

The Hidden Lives of Helen Leishman by Thomas W. Campbell
The Hidden Lives of Helen Leishman By Thomas W. Campbell Originally published in Women Church: An Australian Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion (No. 33, Spring, 2003), pp. 13-17. ARY HELEN MARGARET LEISHMAN was born at Bunbury Western Australia on 17 April 1902. She died on 7 May 1995 in Launceston, Tasmania. M Helen's fascinating life journey included 22 years of service to the Anglican Church's Melanesian Mission in the Solomons and New Hebrides (now Vanuatu), and then more than 38 years in a Carmelite Monastery, where she died. Along the way nursing Sister Helen Leishman became Sister Madeleine of the Cross, a member of the Anglican Sisterhood, the Community of the Cross, then Sister Mary of the Cross, Carmelite nun within the Roman Catholic church. This is the story of her life up to the time she joined the Carmelite community in Longford Tasmania on 7 December 1953. Helen Leishman was born into a strongly religious family at Bunbury. Several generations of the ancestors of both her father and mother had filled significant positions as clergymen in the Church of Scotland, while some were well known and respected in the medical profession; at least one was an early missionary in Melanesia. Helen was the fifth of nine children (six girls, three boys), one older brother, a twin, not surviving infancy. After early childhood years spent in Coolgardie the family settled on a property near Highbury, a small farming village about 250 kilometres to the south east of Perth WA, the nearest large community being the service town of Narrogin.

It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds, which faith the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Spirit, it has borne witness to Christian truth in its historic formularies, the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, The Book of Common Prayer and the Ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons. In the declaration you are about to make will you affirm your loyalty to this inheritance of faith as your inspiration and guidance under God in bringing the grace and truth of Christ to this generation and making him known to those in your care?” Preface to the Declaration of Assent (Canon C15) These words introduce the Declaration of Assent which is made by those being commissioned for ordained and lay ministries in our church. They indicate the particular place which the Church of England inhabits in the life of this country. Our heritage is that of the Gospel handed down through the generations, but also the heritage of our ministry and our buildings, together with a substantial role in the nation’s public life.

Charles Elliot Fox and the Power of Name‐Exchange in Solomon Islands
Oceania, Vol. 91, Issue 1 (2021): 106–127 DOI:10.1002/ocea.5286 How the Missionary got his Mana: Charles Elliot Fox and the Power of Name-Exchange in Solomon Islands Michael W. Scott London School of Economics and Political Science ABSTRACT Charles Elliot Fox (1878–1977) was one of the Anglican Melanesian Mission’s most emblematic fig- ures, extending its reputation for scholarship and respect for Pacific traditions. Uniquely among the Mission’s European figures, however, Fox is also credited with exceptional powers (mana). Based on archival research and ethnographic fieldwork among the Arosi (Makira, Solomon Islands), I argue that Fox’s name-exchanges with Makirans have contributed in unrecognized ways to his reputation for mana. In so doing, I show how, in contrast with name-exchange in Polynesia, Arosi name- exchange implies the internalization of a gap between ontological categories that renders name- exchange partners two persons in one body, endowed with access to one another’s being and ways. Fox’s writings indicate that he understood this aspect of Arosi name-exchange as a prefiguration of the Christian doctrine of the incarnation. This understanding, in turn, shaped his mission method and motivated his otherwise puzzling claims that he was a Melanesian. Keywords: Solomon Islands, Makira, Melanesian Mission, Charles E. Fox, name-exchange, friendship, mana. Since 1992 I have been conducting anthropological and historical research in Solomon Islands, a former British Protectorate declared independent in 1978. My chief research col- laborators have been the people known as the Arosi, whose home region lies at the north- west end of the island of Makira (formerly, San Cristoval).
