Amazon.com: John Newton and the English Evangelical Tradition: Between the Conversions of Wesley and Wilberforce: ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) Hindmarsh draws upon archival and antiquarian sources to consider the life and religious thought of John Newton (1725-1807). Hindmarsh's discussion of historical theology, pastoralia, and spirituality as well as his consideration of conversion narrative, the familiar letter, and hymnody contribute to a fuller understanding of religion and culture in general. Hindmarsh has done a great job of humanizing Newton; after reading this fine book I admire Newton so much because of the rich, committed life he lived for many years after he found conversion and quit the slave trade. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0802847412?v=glance   (932 words)

A repeat performance appeared to be on the cards when the deal over Adelaide and Hindmarsh referred to earlier reserved Makin for Dana Wortley, Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance state secretary and nominee for a faction described by Paul Starick of The Advertiser as a "coalition of the Hard Left and remnants of the Centre". Deegan can at least console himself with the fact that he cleared one of the hurdles necessary for him to be competitive by pushing Labor into third place, but their preferences were never going to make the difference. www.pollbludger.com /fed2004sa.htm   (5197 words)

Morphett no doubt contemplated his ongoing role in the settlement's growth as he strode the wide brick terrace added to Cummins in the 1850's, along with an elaborate porch and a spacious drawing room at the rear of the house.
