Anglicans and Orthodox Judith Pinnington
Unity and Subversion 1559-1725. A sad story involving much pain, but the steadfastness of the participants may have much to teach embattled churchmen today and inspire Orthodox readers to look with fresh eyes at an attempt at unity which failed as much through weaknesses of the Orthodox Church at that time as from the inadequacies of those who wished to join them. With present Anglican-Orthodox dialogue on a knife-edge, this account may spur the participants to look for new and more fruitful perspectives on the perennial call 'that all may be one'.

The English Parson-Naturalist Patrick Armstrong
A Companionship Between Science and Religion
At a time when the administrative duties of the rural clergy were less onerous than today country clergy often took up specific studies - many were naturalists. There were theological reasons for this, including seeing a delight in nature as an expression of Christian piety. This is an account of these parson-naturalists - William Turner, Gilbert White, John Stevens Henslow, A Woodruff-Peacock, W Keble Martin and John Ray - the plants, butterflies, beetles and bees, rocks and fossils they studied, their views on the world and the social milieu in which they worked. They made a significant contribution to the development of British scientific natural history and played an important role in the foundations of the conservation movement and the origins of the National Trust. Some travelled overseas, as missionaries or military chaplains, returning with new scientific discoveries.
