This volume, which completes the edition of Cardinal Morton's
register, deals exclusively with the administration of the diocese
of Norwich during the vacancy of 1499, and represents one of the
most complete records of the governance of any English diocese over
a short period. The original Latin text is here presented in the
form of a full English calendar; the contents include a detailed
financial account, 140 wills presented for probate, judgements in
the consistory court at Norwich and the record of a visitation of
the parishes of Suffolk. The wills provide valuable insights into
the religious motivation of East Anglians at the end of the middle
ages, while the visitation returns and court judgements reveal much
about the conduct of clergy and laity. This is thus a valuable
source not only for the religious and social history of late
medieval East Anglia, but also for the condition of the church in
England thirty years before the Henrician Reformation.

Climate Church, Climate World argues that climate change is the
greatest moral challenge humanity has ever faced. Hunger, refugees,
poverty, inequality, deadly viruses, war-climate change multiplies
all forms of global social injustice. Environmental leader Reverend
Jim Antal presents a compelling case that it's time for the church
to meet this moral challenge, just as the church addressed previous
moral challenges. Antal calls for the church to embrace a new
vocation so that future generations might live in harmony with
God's creation. After describing how we have created the dangers
our planet now faces, Antal urges the church to embrace a new
vocation, one focused on collective salvation and an expanded
understanding of the Golden Rule (Golden Rule 2.0). He suggests
ways people of faith can reorient what they prize through new
approaches to worship, preaching, witnessing and other spiritual
practices that honor creation and cultivate hope.
