	welch
		The text used by Church leaders in the late fourth century to legitimate the prohibition of pagan religious practices is used by Bishop Colenso in the 19th century to challenge the presumed superiority of Christian colonizers to the colonized ‘heathen’(Draper).
		Bishop Colenso is largely sympathetic to the religious and political concerns of the Zulu community, yet, as Draper demonstrates, this concern is conveyed through an essentialist reading of Judaism and the use of anti-Jewish polemics as a key rhetorical device.
		Colenso read the texts of his faith within a different interpretive community, one in which he gave at least partial, if not full, respect to some members of the Zulu community as challenging interlocuters.

	The Colenso Affair
		The controversial figure of JW Colenso, Bishop of Natal from 1853 to 1883, helped to bring the issue into sharp focus; and the so-called ‘Colenso affair’ was one of the major factors behind the growing desire for a world-wide gathering of Anglican bishops, eventually staged (for the first time ever) at Lambeth in 1867.
		Colenso was in fact a follower of FD Maurice (removed from his London professorship for urging the non-existence of hell), and had embarked upon a serious project to re-examine Biblical interpretation ‘from a missionary point of view’ – a laudable endeavour, given his desire to win Zulu converts to the Christian faith.
		Colenso refused to appear at the hearing in South Africa, and instead of bowing to Gray’s sentence appealed to the Judicial Committee for an order prohibiting Gray interfering with his episcopal rights.

		Noting that the ecclesiastical politics of mid-Victorian Anglicanism resulted in his involvement in disputes between Anglo-Catholics and Evangelicals among the white settlers of Natal, it is nevertheless shown that the key factor in the further development of Colenso's theological liberalism was his missionary work with the Zulu.
		Rejecting the conventional and negative view that Colenso was essentially a failure, the essay argues that a closer and more sympathetic reading of his career and his theology reveals an impressive continuity between the various phases of his life and between his theological views, his priestly and episcopal vocation, and his social and political commitment.
		It concludes with a brief review of the continuing respect in which Colenso was held in Unitarian circles after his return to Natal in 1865, and the corresponding high regard of the Colensos for The Theological Review.
