Reviews

The impact of Bishop Ronald Hall's ministry was more than his contemporaries could ever have realized or foreseen. He was not only a man of intense personal courage and integrity but someone who was able-as true prophets are-to make their own lives and actions a sign of how the world might be different. It is a great delight to have at last a worthy tribute to his stature. -- Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury Moira Chan-Yeung's The Practical Prophet is a welcome addition to recent scholarship. This book explores the extraordinary contributions of Ronald Hall, Anglican bishop of Hong Kong (1932-66), focusing on the post-World War II years, a turbulent time in the history of Hong Kong and China. Anyone interested in the Chinese church or the global Anglican Communion needs to know this story. -- Judith Berling, professor of Chinese and comparative religions, Graduate Theological Union; past president of the American Academy of Religion Bishop Ronald Owen Hall of the Anglican Church was a great man in Hong Kong history, a legendary leader who dared and cared, and had, through his love and his work from the 1930s to 1970s, changed the lives of many people in Hong Kong. -- Yuen Sang Leung, dean of the Faculty of Arts, the Chinese University of Hong Kong Chan-Yeung's book brings us new and refreshing insights into Hall's life and ministry, and her book deserves to be widely read and studied. Church Times This is a book which ought to be given to and read by, amongst others, all those who haveleadership roles in Christian communities. Movement
