Why Bishops? What's so special about Bishops? What are Bishops called to and how best can they do it? This book is the single resource of answers to all the questions one could conceivably have about what a Bishop is and their function and purpose in the Church. Paul Avis offers a fascinating account of the ministerial identity of the bishop, and in particular the tasks and roles of episcopal ministry. Placing the Bishop within his wider ecclesiological framework, Avis illuminates the role of the individual in episcopal ministry. The book sets the vital work of a Bishop within an ecclesiological framework: the Bishop in the Anglican Communion, within the Church of Christ, within the purposes of God.

This series of reminiscences recalls the people, personalities, events and challenges that shaped the life and ministry of Leonard Faulkner, formerly Bishop of Townsville and Archbishop of Adelaide. From his birth and early childhood in South Australia at the time of the Great Depression, we learn of his sense of belonging within a deeply Catholic family whose observance of the traditions, practices and piety of the time formed in him the beginnings of a deep awareness of God's love that gave him strength, purpose and meaning throughout his long life of service to the Catholic community. He remembers with affection teachers, priests and religious who encouraged his sense of priestly vocation and offers invaluable memories of life in the seminary in Werribee and later in Rome where he was among the first Australian seminarians to return for further studies at the end of World War II. We learn of the challenges and opportunities for ministry he encountered as a priest in Adelaide and share his memories of people who influenced him in the early days of his priesthood; and we follow his various ministries as assistant priest, YCW Chaplain and Cathedral administrator, leading to his appointment in 1967 as Bishop of Townsville. In the meantime, we have a first-hand account of the changes that followed the Second Vatican Council and his efforts to introduce those changes with sensitivity and enthusiasm, attitudes that shaped his ministry as bishop and local leader in Townsville. He was appointed Archbishop of Adelaide in 1983 and remained in that office until his retirement in 2001. We learn of various highlights in his time as Archbishop, notably the visit of Pope John Paul II, his response to the AIDS crisis and his determination to involve lay people at the heart of diocesan planning and administration. The account is not universally happy and we learn of his disappointments - even with himself - for perceived shortcomings in ministry. We have his story of differences with Roman Congregations in his approach to pastoral and sacramental initiatives and his reservations about how those Congregations sought to influence particular outcomes at national and local levels in the Australian Catholic church. Throughout, he returns to his journey with God that began in Baptism and was nourished by his life of prayer and daily reflection. A Listening Ministry is not an autobiography but a series of stories and images of a life spent seeking the will of God for himself and his people; and an invaluable and intimate story of what it means to be a bishop in our world.

The Bishop of Princhester has come to doubt the Trinity, as well as a number of other things relating to the Creed. Not only this, but he has come to realise that there are others within the church with doubts—some who even doubt the existence of God. Although the Bishop believes fervently in God, his disagreements with the dogma, creating an inner turmoil that throws his life into chaos. Herbert George Wells (1866 – 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. "The Father of Science Fiction" was also a staunch socialist, and his later works are increasingly political and didactic. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as “The Time Machine” (1895), “The Invisible Man” (1897), and “The War of the Worlds” (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. This book was first published in 1923.
