I am pleased that Waiapu has developed a relationship with ACPNG, essentially on behalf of our province and I look forward to being a part of how that will develop in the future. This visit impressed upon me the importance of personal relationships in mission partnerships. There is nothing like being with someone in person, in their patch, to really gain a deep understanding of what needs there are for the development of mission in that place. I am committed to returning to PNG on a regular basis to support the relationships with the bishops, and am looking forward to Representatives of the PNG Defence Force presenting planning a visit next year.

FOREWORD T was my happy experience to visit Persia in April and May, 1928. My tour carried me over sooo miles by I motor car, and I visited all the C.M.S. centres of work, as well as several stations of the American Presbyterian Mission. I was entertained by British, Americans, and Persians, and to my many kind hosts and hostesses I would express again my grateful thanks. The work I saw in this C. M.S. field filled me with admiration for that splendid band of missionaries, old and young, who to-day are the worthy successors of those who laid the founda­ tion upon which they build. I was much impressed by the thoroughness of the work ; by the efficiency of schools and hospitals; by the initiative that is being shown in breaking new ground and adapting methods to changing conditions of life in Persia ; by the desire I found on all hands to make the Church the centre of all activity, and to accord to it that right of control that alone will enable it to grow strong and.

Instead of being a frightening person, he will be greatly honored, respected, and loved by the majority of the world. He will also be accepted as the prophesied Christ to rule the world in peace and prosperity. When [his] Anti-christian Kingdom is finally destroyed, the world will not rejoice in thanksgiving for their release from oppression and Satanic control. They will do just the opposite. People will “weep and mourn” over Babylon’s collapse (Revelation 18:11). They will “bewail” and “lament” because this kingdom of human excellence and perfection has come to an end. Trade and craft will have reached dazzling heights of prosperity under the “Beast.” Culture and the fine arts will show the apex of human accomplishment during his reign. The Secret of the Number 666 FROM ANTIQUITY TO ANTICHRIST: THE BRITISH ROYAL SECRET EXPOSED Two Royal Families in Great Britain have claimed of them to be descendants of the Royal House of David, a Bloodline which supposedly produced many of the ruling Houses of Europe today, including the British Monarchy and current ruling House of Windsor. The other family important to this lineage is the Scottish House of Stuart (Spencer), whose most infamous descendant was the late Princess Diana. While there is discrepancy as to whether or not the Windsor claims to the Throne of England are legitimate (being descendants of the Germanic House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha), most agree that the Stuart lineage are not only the rightful heirs to the Throne of England (and Scotland), yet also to the Throne of David, and Israel itself.

  • Mission and Meaning Essays Presented to Peter Cotterell
    Mission and Meaning Essays Presented to Peter Cotterell Edited by Antony Billington Tony Lane Max Turner Carlisle: Paternoster Press, 1995. ISBN: 0-85364-676-7 © The Editors and Contributers 1995 Reproduced by kind permission of Paternoster Press Prepared for the Web in September 2009 by Robert I Bradshaw https://theologyontheweb.org.uk 10 A Model Missionary to Muslims: Thomas Valpy French (1825-1891) Michael Griffiths 1. Introduction The subject of this essay was a deeply committed missionary to Muslims, regarded in his own day as stoical to a fault, and who would today be labelled as a 'workaholic'. Such qualities will appeal to Peter Cotterell, himself an indefatigable worker. At the same time, I am conscious that for Peter, the contemporary thrust, where we are now, and even more where we ought to be soon, must always be more important than an antiquarian interest in where missions used· to be. We deplqre a common result of reading nineteenth century hagiography, that people imagine mission to be as it was then, rather than as it is now. It could be argued, however, that Valpy French was making more progress with Muslims than many of us are today, and that his approaches may give us a useful paradigm for pioneer situations still. It is not only over-enthusiastic biographers who can be selective with truth: some classic mission histories give us a one­ sided picture - Stephen Neill, for instance, in his Penguin history, regards only one or two Christian women as worthy of mention by name, and gives little space to American interdenominational, as compared with European ecumenical mission agencies.

Loyal Exchange: the material and visual culture of Jacobite exile, c.1716 – c.1760 Volume I: Text Georgia W M Vullinghs PhD History of Art The University of Edinburgh 2021 Abstract The historiography of Jacobitism has tended to focus on the political and military efforts within Britain to return the Stuarts to their thrones. The history of the later Stuarts and their cause has also been overwhelmed by the figure of Charles Edward Stuart, or ‘Bonnie Prince Charlie’. More recently, research into the Stuart courts in exile, and the political, economic, and military contributions exiled Jacobites made to their host countries, has shifted the focus to acknowledge the cosmopolitan nature of Jacobitism. By examining the material and visual culture of Jacobite exile between c.1716 and c.1760, this thesis looks more deeply into the exiled court of James VIII/III in Rome.

We have gathered them all together here, and will add to the file as more become available. Many of the family histories are hard to find, but some are still available on the antiquarian market. Others are available as Print on Demand; while a few can be found as Google books] GUNDAROO (1972) By Errol Lea-Scarlett, tells the story of the settlement of the Township of Gundaroo in the centre of the Yass River Valley of NSW, AUS, and the families who built up the town. One was William Affleck (1836-1923) from West Wemyss, described as "Gundaroo's Man of Destiny." He was the son of Arthur Affleck, grocer at West Wemyss, and Ann Wishart, and encourged by letters from the latter's brother, John (Joseph Wiseman) Wishart, the family emigrated to NSW late in October 1854 in the ship, "Nabob," with their children, William and Mary, sole survivors of a family of 13, landing at Sydney on 15 February 1855. The above John Wishart, alias Joseph Wiseman, the son of a Fife merchant, had been convicted of forgery in 1839 and sentenced to 14 years transportation to NSW. On obtaining his ticket of leave in July 1846, he took the lease of the Old Harrow, in which he established a store - the "Caledonia" - and in 1850 added to it a horse-powered mill at Gundaroo some 18 months later. He was the founder of the family's fortunes, and from the 1860s until about 1900 the Afflecks owned most of the commercial buildings in the town.
