Summer Fiction Reading
Thanks to Sue Peterson, the Parish Librarian at All Saints Church, Bolingbrook, IL, who has the following
recommendations for light reading in a religious setting:
If you haven’t been to Mitford, or haven’t been recently, Jan Karon’s series is highly recommended by
members of the parish. You will fall in love with all of the characters, especially Father Tim. The books are
about an Episcopal priest living in a small town, Mitford, North Carolina.
Phillip Gulley also has a series set in the small town of Harmony, Indiana about a Quaker leader. You will
laugh, guaranteed!
Into historical fiction? Want more intrigue and suspense? Try the two highly acclaimed series surrounding
World War II and the establishment of the state of Israel. The Zion Covenant series contains six books and the
Zion Chronicle series contains five books. They are by Bodie and Brock Theone.
Editor’s Note: And, of course, there is The Complete Father Brown Stories by G. K. Chesterton. If you
have not read them you should. These stories have been acclaimed as the best crime fiction since Sherlock
Holmes and not all of the stories involve crime. But all involve the perceptive, mild mannered Catholic priest’s
insight into human nature. If you have seen the PBS television series, then you should definitely read the
stories. The television series does not do justice to the Chesterton’s stories.
Happy reading! 

St Joseph of Arimathea Anglican Theological College
Online Courses for Fall, 2015
Our Province's seminary, St Joseph of Arimathea Anglican Theological College, will offer two online
lecture courses for interested clergy and laity this Fall. All lectures are pre-recorded and then posted on either
YouTube or Vimeo (commercial-free) at a rate of one per week. Both classes are designed for postulants
preparing for canonical exams as well as clergy who have not had a formal course in these subjects. But they
will also work well for clergy seeking a refresher and for laity who want an introduction to Old Testament
narrative or the Church’s doctrine.
The fee for those taking either course with written assignments is $230. The fee to audit either course is
$50. The textbooks can be purchased from Amazon or bookfinders.com.
Please email Fr. Jeffrey Smith to sign up and to obtain instructions for access and for tuning in:
[email protected]
Please send your fees directly to SJAATC, P.O. Box 40020, Berkeley, CA, 94704.
A Tour of Old Testament Narrative will be taught by The Rev.
Michael Mautner, St. Peter’s, Oakland, CA.
This thirteen-week course will begin with Genesis and end with
Esther. Every Christian should be familiar with the Biblical narrative,
and clergy more so. It is the foundation for all that both the Bible and
the Church teach.
The course assumes no prior knowledge of the Bible; only a
willingness to read through and learn the entire story of God’s people
under the Old Covenant up until their return from exile and rebuilding
of Jerusalem. Following the canonical order of Scripture, it ends with
Esther, a story of Jews in the Dispersion.
The textbooks for the course are a study Bible (preferably the ESV)
and Craig Bartholomew and Michael Goheen’s The Drama of Scripture,
2nd edition.
Begins September 11 and ends December 11.
Dogmatic Theology will be taught by The Rev. Canon Stanley
Sinclair, St. Mark’s, Victoria, B.C.
This thirteen-week course will have two tracks: an easy one for
postulants preparing for the liturgical Diaconate, and a more advanced one
for those preparing for the Diaconate with a license to preach and teach.
Dogmatic Theology gives you the complete and detailed version of the
Church’s Catechism — what there is not time to cover in an inquirer’s or
Confirmation class. It will help you to gain a new appreciation for the
Faith.
The textbook for the first track is Frank Wilson’s Faith and Practice
and the textbook for the other track is C.B. Moss’s The Christian Faith.
Begins September 10 and ends December 10.
