A call for papers for "A Major Conference Commemorating the Tercentenary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, Jointly sponsored by the Canadian Church Historical Society, the Episcopal Women's History Project, the Historical Society of the Episcopal Church in the United States and the National Episcopal Historians and Archivists; The Conference Theme: (Re)Making Anglican Tradition(s) in North America; Dates and Place: 23-27 June 2001, Toronto Ontario, Hosted by Trinity College and Wycliffe College" (p. 91). "While the Conference commemorates the SPG, it is not devoted to the history of the SPG. It is intended to be an opportunity to explore the many facets of the making and remaking of Anglican tradition and traditions in North America. Our various Anglican expressions in North America have retained many continuities with the parent church in Great Britain and Ireland, even as they have produced remarkable changes belonging to the new and transforming cultures of this continent. How can these continuities and changes be understood historically ?" (p. 92). "Proposals should treat the general conference theme by way of one of the six following sub-themes .... 1. Church History and Information Technology; 2. The Church and First Nations/Indigenous Peoples; 3. Taking Anglican Traditions across Cultural Frontiers; 4. Integration, Assimilation, Alienation: Women and the Church; 5. The Church and Public Culture; 6. Worship and Church Order: American and Canadian Anglicanism" (p. 92-93).

"Each issue of 'The Churches Speak' begins with an introductory essay which provides an overview of the topic itself and traces its recent historical manifestations. This essay also summarize, compares, and contrasts the opinions found in the individual statements, allowing the user to place each one in the appropriate context. Each essay concludes with bibliographic citations to sources for further reading on the topic. The statements presented in each monograph are arranged into four main sections based on broad religious families or traditions: The Roman Catholic Church (which represents the single largest religious body in the United States); Protestant and Eastern Orthodox Churches; Jewish Groups; and Other Religious Bodies. Within the Roman Catholic Church section, statements are arranged chronologically by issuing date. The remaining sections are subarranged alphabetically by individual churches, religious bodies, or ecumenical organizations; the statements issued by each organization are presented chronologically within that organization. Each of the four religious family sections is preceded by a note which provides background information of the family and analysis of its perspective on the issue in question." -- Preface.

"This book is a product of a symposium held at Church Divinity School of the Pacific in 1988. The contribution of the speakers and parts of the ensuing discussion by other participants were edited by Robert H. Iles, an Episcopal priest. The book is `not about the day-to-day care of and ministry to People with AIDS (PWA)`, nor is it `a recipe book for educating congregations about the AIDS crisis'. Instead, as the title suggests, it provides theological grounding for the church."
