In June 2008, 1200 Anglican leaders, bishops, clergy and lay people, from 27 provinces of the Anglican Communion met in Jerusalem for the Global Anglican Future Conference. Their Statement, containing the Jerusalem Declaration, was received with enthusiasm by many in the Anglican Communion. While raising questions about some of the practical proposals, the Archbishop of Canterbury responded as follows: The 'tenets of orthodoxy' spelled out in the document will be acceptable to and shared by the vast majority of Anglicans in every province, even if there may be differences of emphasis and perspective on some issues.The GAFCON Primates' Council commissioned the Theological Resource Group to prepare a commentary on the Jerusalem Declaration. This commentary has been prepared by 40 theologians, from 14 countries throughout the Anglican Communion, with the purpose of drawing out the implications of the Jerusalem Declaration for the life and witness of the Anglican Communion today.The Jerusalem Declaration is being used increasingly to define Anglican identity for contemporary Anglicans in a way which is faithful to Scripture and to the Anglican formularies. The commentary is offered as a resource and also a study-guide for churches seeking to affirm their Anglican identity, practice and mission.

The year 2014 will mark 200 years of Christian Mission in New Zealand. The mission began among Northern Maori of the Bay of Islands in 1814 with three 'settler' missionaries and their families. But it was not until 1825 that the first Christian convert was baptised, with the mission only finally flourishing in the 1830s. The role that the missionaries themselves played in bringing about the remarkable success of the New Zealand mission is often down-played by contemporary historians who tend to view their endeavours as simplistic or coercive. During this early period, the mission was directed by Samuel Marsden (Senior Chaplain to the penal colony in New South Wales) but from the mid 1820s a change in direction was initiated by Henry Williams, the leader of the local missionary committee in the Bay of Islands.This study identifies and explores the tension between the strategies adopted by Marsden and Williams and the implications of each for the conduct of the mission. What is revealed is an account of great tenacity in the face of many set-backs and an over-whelming confi dence that, under the providence of God, the Christian Gospel could indeed take root in the land of Aotearoa, New Zealand.Malcolm Falloon is the vicar of St Aidan's, Bryndwr, an Anglican parish within the Christchurch Diocese, New Zealand. He also serves as the Honorary Warden of the Latimer Fellowship of New Zealand, a fellowship of evangelical Anglicans established in 1946.

No issue is more important, more difficult, more controversial, or more divisive for Christian theology and practice today than that of other faiths.The subject raises large theological questions about the nature of other faiths and Christian participation in the worship of other faiths. The issue of the nature and practices of other faiths is of real relevance in the West given the presence of large other faith communities in the UK.This study examines these questions by focusing on Paul's discussion of other faiths in Corinth in 1 Corinthians 8-10. It presents a fresh look at Paul's view of the worship of other faiths. It sheds light on the theological and pastoral issues raised by 1 Corinthians 8-10, and, in particular, engages with the debate on inclusivism, and offers pastoral case studies.Rohintan Mody comes from an Indian Zoroastrian background to Christianity and is the Associate Vicar of Christ Church, Virginia Water.
