    1 Sunday, October 14, 2012—Grace Life School of Theology—Grace History Project—Lesson 75 The Life and Times of E.W. Bullinger Introduction Despite having already spoken at length about E.W.B.’s theology, virtually nothing regarding his personal life has been discussed. Therefore, prudence dictates that we share some things regarding the remarkable and interesting life of Dr. Bullinger. The Life and Times of E.W. Bullinger Early Life and Childhood “Ethelbert William Bullinger (1837-1913) was born on December 15 in Canterbury, England. He was a distant descendant of Johann Heinrich Bullinger, a covenant theologian who succeeded Zwingli in Zurich in December of 1531.” (Richards, 66) William Bullinger, E.W’s father owned a successful grocery business and lived above the shop with his wife, Mary and their five children: James (1828), Hester Ann (1831), Eliza (1834), Zillah Jane (1836), and Ethelbert the youngest (1837). (Carey, 29) “The Bullingers were members of the Methodist Church; in fact, in later life William Bullinger would refer to himself as a “Wesleyan Preacher” as well as a grocer. Each of the Bullinger children was baptized in St. Peter’s Chapel. Ethelbert’s baptism, performed by Rev. Samuel Webb, took place on March 11, 1838. The fact that the Bullinger family was Methodist tells much about the tenor of Ethelbert’s childhood. The following account gives a glimpse into Methodism in early Victorian days, the time of Ethelbert’s childhood: o The call of the Methodists of the period was for disciplined, simple, pious lives removed from worldly pleasures and centered on home, chapel and business.

    87 TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED: GLIMPSES OF FRIENDS IN THE ARCHIVES OF LAMBETH PALACE LIBRARY y the very nature of the collections in Lambeth Palace Library l which reflect the views of establishment figures, B Archbishops, Bishops, and to a lesser extent local clergy, it is inevitable that Friends are not always portrayed in a particularly sympathetic light, especially in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.2 The collections as a whole illustrate the full breadth of change in society's and the Church of England's attitudes to Friends over the years. These range from virulent attack and total incomprehension of Quaker testimonies in the late seventeenth century to mutual accommodation in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when the Society of Friends was in general conceived less as a threat to the establishment; then finally in a more ecumenical age to an acceptance that Friends had a recognisable contribution to make as both individuals and a Society - at a time when a Quaker, Douglas Steere, was among the official observers present at a Lambeth Conference, in 1968,3 and when an Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, used his privilege under Peter's Pence Act of 1534 to grant a Lambeth doctorate of civil law to Sydney Bailey in 1985 in recognition of his services to international justice and peace, the first Quaker to receive a Lambeth degree.4 It is not my purpose to provide a lengthy catalogue of records or a guide to references to Friends in the manuscripts and archives at Lambeth, but rather to home in on a couple of different and contrasting collections dating variously from the eighteenth and the twentieth centuries which show Friends in less expected lights.

Transactions of the Burgon Society, 5 (2005), pages 64–75 Lambeth Degree Academical Dress by Noel Cox In the United Kingdom the right of universities and other institutions to confer degrees is strictly controlled by legislation.1 Lambeth degrees, also occasionally and perhaps misleadingly called Canterbury degrees (as in ‘DMus Cantuar’)2 are still awarded by the archbishop of Canterbury under the general authority of the Ecclesiastical Licences Act 1533–1534,3 although he is not a university nor an educational institution per se. The continued specific authority for the archbishop to grant degrees can however be found in the Education Reform Act 1988,4 and the Education (Recognised Bodies) (England) Order 2003.5 But unlike other degree- granting bodies, the archbishop of Canterbury does not prescribe a distinct set of academical dress for the recipient of his degrees. Instead the academic dress is either that Oxford or Cambridge. This is due, at least in part, to the history and nature of the degrees which he confers.
