    1 Chapter 1: The Year p. 9 In the autumn of 1850, in Hyde Park in London, there arose a most extraordinary structure: a giant iron and glass greenhouse covering nineteen acres of ground and containing within its airy vastness enough room for four St Paul’s Cathedrals: The story of London’s Great Exhibition is thoroughly and entertainingly told in Michael Leapman’s The World for a Shilling: How the Great Exhibition of 1851 Shaped a Nation. For historical context, The Year Is 1851 by Patrick Howarth provided much information. The sources for other details are specified below. p. 10 The Building Committee of the Royal Commission for the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations consisted of four men – Matthew Digby Wyatt, Owen Jones, Charles Wild, and the great engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel: Hix, The Glass House, p. 133. p. 11 The whole was to be capped off by Brunel’s contribution: an iron dome two hundred feet across: New Yorker, ‘The Great Iron Ship’, 19 September 1953. p. 11 Into this unfolding crisis stepped the calm figure of Joseph Paxton: Although Paxton’s architecture has been much written about, for instance in The Works of Sir Joseph Paxton by George F. Chadwick, Joseph Paxton himself was rather neglected as a biographical subject until the publication in 2004 of the excellent A Thing in Disguise: The Visionary Life of Joseph Paxton by Kate Colquhoun, from which many of the facts here are taken. p. 12 This so captivated the American Frederick Law Olmsted that he modelled Central Park in New York on it: See Rybczynski, A Clearing in the Distance.

The cultural gap between the ancient world and our secular technological world continues to grow. From the standpoint of a Christian caught in poverty, social injustice and political oppression, commentaries on the Bible written by scholars living in an academic atmosphere of middle and upper class society often seem flat and barely relevant. They fail to deal with what Hans-Georg Gadamer calls the central problem of hermeneutics, the problem of application. While we have good reasons to seriously question the new hermeneutic of Bultmann and his successors in their use of the dialectical method and the existentialism that rejects the concept of propositional revelation, the new hermeneutic does seek to uncover the hidden and unexamined presuppositions with which all of us come to the Scriptures.

There are particularly stimulating chapters on SUGGESTED READING facing death and ministering with the aged. & BOOK REVIEWS A Few Extras A year lost and a year found - Michael Mayne Also Sunrise of Wonder (an account of a year he spent getting over a mental breakdown - and then went on to be Dean of Westminster).

As Chairman of the Wardens it me gives me great pleasure to summarise the events and activities of 2016 and also describe the progress that we have made towards the aims that were set last year and reflect on the ongoing developments of our organisation. 2016 saw the establishment of a new corporate structure for the management team of the Freemen. The cornerstone of this initiative was the introduction of tenure of appointment for Wardens. Wardens are now elected for a term of three years. Tenure is only one element of a comprehensive document “A Guide for Wardens” that clearly defines their roles and duties. It also provides a description of their function as representatives of their respective companies and their role as part of the management structure of the Freemen. It is hoped that this initiative will encourage greater involvement of Freemen in their organisation and more members coming forward to become Wardens.
