Sacred Violence - in Christianity and Islam
The militants in Al Qaeda are by no means the first to do violence in the name of religion, and are probably not the last. Christians sometimes disparage Islam because of its violent history, but they would do well to search in their own tradition before making too many generalizations. This essay - originally presented in a graduate studies seminar - explores the foundations of Christianity and Islam, and imagines two clergy - a priest and a Muslim cleric - trying to communicate with one another with tolerance and understanding.Liturgy in the Time of Richard Hooker
On the four hundredth anniversary of the death of Richard Hooker - the 16th Century theologian who, more than anyone else (except possibly Thomas Cranmer) helped to shape Anglican life and polity - Tony presented this paper at a symposium at St. John's College, Winnipeg. It explores, using contemporary records, and clues found in Hooker's work, what Sunday worship might have been like in ordinary English congregations during the formative first years of Anglicanism.A Little Bible Handbook
