  • Response to Windsor Report
    Maintaining the Bonds of Affection and the Discovering of Objects of Love: An East Asian Response to the Windsor Report 2004 Michael Nai-Chiu Poon, Singapore The Primates’ Standing Committee asks whether the description of the life of the Communion in Sections A and B of the Report we can recognize as consistent with our understanding of the Communion. My answer, in brief, is no. Let me be clear from the start. I long for churches in the Communion to move closer together than go their separate ways. To do this, we must shift from the paradigm of trying to maintain “Bonds of Affection” towards a more open and provisional vision of discovering the “Objects of Love” in our common journey1. A Question of Social Identity Section B of the Report deals with the issue of identity. The Report reminds us, alongside the spiritual bond we share as children of God in Christ, of the “shared and inherited identity which is the particular history of the churches to which we belong”2 It goes on in the next paragraph to trace the history of “the Anglican Communion”, recalling our roots in “the ancient churches of the British Isles.” Then the Report proceeds to deal with how the institutional churches can and should work together in the common task of discernment. Indeed, back in Section A, the Lambeth Commission cites the issue of the ordination of women to the priesthood as a case in point of how mutual discernment and decision making operate in the Communion.3 The central problem today in the Communion, so the Report announces at the end of the prognosis, is that “we have not always fully articulated how authority work within Anglicanism.”4 And I do not think it is unfair to add that by “authority”, the Commission has in mind institutional authority.

  • The Chinese Term for God. a Letter to the Protestant Missionaries of China
    THE CHINESE TERM FOR GOD. A LETTER TO THE PROTESTANT MISSIONARIES OF CHINA, BY J.S. BURDON, BISHOP OF VICTORIA, HONGKONG. PRINTED BY DE SOUZA & CO. 1877. TO THE PROTESTANT MISSIONARIES OF CHINA. MY DEAR BRETHREN, In the last Annual Report of the English Religious Tract Society, a Statement appeared from the pen of Dr. EITEL, of Hongkong, professing to give an account of the Controversy about the terms for God and Spirit in China. It is no disrespect to Dr. EITEL to say that this statement, considered in itself, is not worth an extended notice. It is very brief and meagre. He probably wrote it in a hurry with the idea of giving, in few words, the gist of the controversy. The Directors of the Tract Society, however, thought it a statement of great importance, and so they adopted it, and put it on record in their official archives. This gives it an importance which probably the Author never thought of or desired for it, and draws attention to it from those who otherwise would never have thought of noticing it. In writing to Home Committees on such a controversy as that which exists in China, we cannot be too careful both about our facts and our explanations. Those to whom we write know nothing of Chinese, and are utterly unable to understand our difficulties. How many, for instance, of those Gentlemen for whose benefit Dr. EITEL wrote his brief statement, were able from personal examination of the subject to understand the points in dispute about Shang-ti and Shin and Tien-chu? Not one of them would profess to know anything on the subject.

  • Larbert Old Parish Churchyard
    LARBERT OLD PARISH CHURCHYARD Geoff B Bailey The churchyard at Larbert is one of the largest in the Falkirk district, having been extended several times in the 18th and 19th centuries. In its latter form it was dominated by the presence of the Carron Company, which was one of the major factors in the massive increase in the population of the parish and which contributed greatly to its wealth. This is reflected in the lavishness and variety of the later monuments and in the extensive use of iron for grave markers and for plot boundaries. Amongst the latter are some of the oldest cast iron railings in the world. This large scale and richness is in marked contrast to the church‘s humble beginnings. By 1160 there was a subordinate chapel of the Church of St Ninians (Stirling) at Larbert and in that year they were gifted by the Bishop of St Andrews to the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, along with a similar chapel at Dunipace. After the Reformation, in the 16th century, one reader served both Larbert and Dunipace, though Dunipace had more people. Around 1585 Larbert was erected into a separate parish, but in 1617 was re-united with Dunipace by Parliamentary Commission – evidently there were too few Illus 1: General phase plan of Larbert Churchyard. 1 people in the parish to sustain a separate charge. Over the next few years Larbert Church got caught up in national politics. King James VI exiled Reverend Robert Bruce of Kinnaird to Inverness, and subsequently allowed him back to his home parish.

  • J. B. S. the Life and Work of J. B. S. Haldane by Ronald Clark
    J. B. S. The Life and Work of J. B. S. Haldane By Ronald Clark ‘An excellent biography ... both just and warm-hearted’ C. P. Snow, Sunday Times J. B. S. Haldane (1892-1964) was one of the most brilliant of British scientists - and one of the most controversial. A trail-blazing geneticist and physiologist, who used himself as his own guinea-pig; he was also a highly successful populariser of science, a dedicated Marxist, and a devotee of Hindu culture. His private life was often tempestuous: early in his career he was sacked from his Cambridge post after being cited in a divorce case — but reinstated on appeal; and his relations with scientific colleagues and the political establishment were normally acrimonious. Haldane’s most important scientific research, on the mathematical basis of evolutionary theory, was done at University College London. Towards the end of his life he founded the Genetics and Biometry Laboratory at Bhubaneswar in India; he had become an Indian citizen in 1960. In writing this definitive biography, Ronald Clark was able to draw upon Haldane’s private papers, as well as the reminiscences of the great man’s friends (and enemies). Mr. Clark has written extensively on scientists and the application of science to modern life. His books include major biographies of Einstein and Freud. Author’s Acknowledgements My main and very sincere thanks are due to Dr. Helen Spurway who not only gave me unrestricted access to, and use of, Professor Haldane’s papers in Bhubaneswar. but who did so despite the possibility, if not the likelihood, that my assessment of Haldane might differ from hers—an outstanding example of intellectual honesty.
