The Ferrar Family of Little Gidding C.1625-1637
THE GOOD OLD WAY REVISITED: The Ferrar Family of Little Gidding c.1625-1637 Kate E. Riley, BA (Hons) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia, School of Humanities, Discipline of History, 2007. ABSTRACT The Good Old Way Revisited: The Ferrar Family of Little Gidding c.1625-1637 The Ferrars are remembered as exemplars of Anglican piety. The London merchant family quit the city in 1625 and moved to the isolated manor of Little Gidding in Huntingdonshire. There they pursued a life of corporate devotion, supervised by the head of the household, Nicholas Ferrar, until he died in December 1637. To date, the life of the pious deacon Nicholas Ferrar has been the focus of histories of Little Gidding, which are conventionally hagiographical and give little consideration to the experiences of other members of the family, not least the many women in the household. Further, customary representations of the Ferrars have tended to remove them from their seventeenth-century context. Countering the biographical trend that has obscured many details of their communal life, this thesis provides a new, critical reading of the family’s years at Little Gidding while Nicholas Ferrar was alive. It examines the Ferrars in terms of their own time, as far as possible using contemporary documents instead of later accounts and confessional mythology. It shows that, while certain aspects of life at Little Gidding were unusual, on the whole the family was less exceptional than traditional histories have implied; certainly the family was not so unified and unworldly as the idealised images have suggested. -
The Musical Life and Aims of the Ordinariate of Our Lady Of
The Musical Life and Aims of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham a paper given by the Reverend Monsignor Andrew Burnham, Assistant to the Ordinary, at the Blessed John Henry Newman Institute of Liturgical Music, Birmingham. When the Holy Father visited Westminster Abbey just two years ago, his pleasure was evident as he encountered not only the splendour of the building but also its orderly musical tradition. It was an occasion in preparation for which considerable ingenuity had been expended – in that rather over-attentive way that Anglicans go about things – and, whereas you and I know that what the Pope would undoubtedly have preferred would have been the opportunity to sit in choir – on however splendid a cushion – and absorb the glory of a weekday choral evensong, what he got was something rather more bespoke. Pontiffs and prelates are never allowed to experience things as they actually are. Nonetheless, I am sure it was not lost on him that, greeted by a Latin motet written by an Irish Protestant composer, Charles Villiers Stanford, and an English anthem written by an English recusant composer, William Byrd, he was encountering a very sophisticated musical tradition. It is a tradition that has inspired not only Irish Protestants to set Latin texts, but also sceptics, devout and not so devout, to set canticles and anthems, and, in the case of Vaughan Williams, to put his innate atheism to one side and compile what remains the best of the English hymnbooks. There is a certain amount of evidence that, when the Holy See began to talk about inviting groups of Anglicans into the full communion of the Catholic Church, some in Rome expected to receive diocesan bishops, with their cathedrals, their cathedral choirs, their parish clergy, their parish churches, and the laity of the parishes. -

He inherited under his father's will 4,334 acres, 7 negroes, 7 pieces of silver plate, ?X20 sterling, &c., &c. The will of Thos. Fitzhugh, of Stafford, proved in Richmond Co. 1719, names his wife Ann, daughter Mlary, and brothers George,. John and Henry Fitzhugh. But it is evident that a son was born after the will was madle, for in Richmond Co., Nov., 1723, Ann, widow of Thomas Fitzhugh, was appuinted guardian of Henry, his " youngerson and heir." None of the accounts of the family give any notice of his descendants, so it is probable that the son and daughter died young. 12.

Trying Christ Church for First Time?
But “Everyone Knows...” Oh Yeah? Trying Christ Church for First Time? Trying an Anglican Church for the first Time? So, you found the map and directions on the website, but then what? Here is a Short Primer to Help you Find Your Way! Parking... • There is a modest parking lot in the alley behind the church... often it’s full by 10am, so most people park on 8th Street and 34th Ave or on the nearby residential streets. Parking is free. • If you’re coming north on Elbow Drive, keep in mind you can turn left on Sifton, but not on 34th. Getting Inside... We have three west-facing entrances on 8th Street. • Door #1 - Don’t bother with the southernmost one by the labyrinth... this is for the office on week days and we lock it to avoid confusion on Sundays. • Door #2 - Better... the next door north (called the “Loggia” or the hallway that runs along the outside of the worship space) This leads to the stairs and elevator which access the nursery and Sunday school rooms, and further along on the main level the washrooms. This entrance also accesses the worship space. • Door #3 - Best... the main entrance into the narthex (funny church word for foyer). There, you will find a greeter to help you find your way... and a place to hang your coat if you wish! Worship Materials • The greeter will offer you a “bulletin”, a little booklet which contains almost everything you need to follow along in the service. • The songs and hymns are in the blue book that you will find in the pew). -

The Plight of Anglican Church Music in the Western Cape: Three Case Studies

Levi Alexander March 2021 Copyright © 2021 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Music ministries still providing Anglican church congregations with traditional Anglican church music find themselves clutching onto a musical tradition in a church plagued by the increasing secularisation of society. This thesis, in three case studies, investigates the musical output and general daily function of three Anglican churches in the Western Cape by interviewing the rector and music director of each parish. Each parish was selected as it presented a varied historical, musical, liturgical and churchmanship culture. The aim of the thesis is to ascertain, primarily, whether traditional music is under threat of falling into disuse in the church and secondly, if traditional music is indeed under threat, the possible measures which could be implemented to preserve the heritage for future generations of Anglican worshippers. -

Even Choir Girls Get the Blues by Mary Lycan 10/30/97 Triangle Institute for Anglican Studies St
Even Choir Girls Get the Blues by Mary Lycan 10/30/97 Triangle Institute for Anglican Studies St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, Hillsborough, NC September, 1958. New town, new church--St. James’s Episcopal, New London, Connecticut. The nine o’clock family service. Me in my Mary Janes, age eleven, with my sisters and parents in a pew on the center aisle. As the congregation rose for the first hymn, the St. Cecilia Girls’ Choir, thirty-eight girls ages 10 to 17, processed in pairs, the little ones in front. Their robes and beanies were royal blue. They walked tall, and held their hymnals up as they sang. They were goddesses. Six weeks later I was one of them. Two years later, I had my first organ lesson from the Director of Music, Beatrice Hatton Fisk, on the four-manual Austin. A year after that, at age fourteen, I played and conducted my first full substitute gig at that very service: choir rehearsal, prelude, postlude, hymns, canticles, offertory anthem--the works. I got paid: fifteen dollars! Organ lessons, lots of practice, and a certain amount of talent pulled me along that path. But it was the years of rehearsing and singing with the choir that made a church musician of me-- that put our phrasing into my hymn tempos forever, and engraved the old pointing of the canticles onto my bones. Every one of us could sense of the flow of a well-conducted liturgy. We exchanged sly and scornful glances when strange substitutes fumbled the “Venite” or failed to cadence on a G Major chord for the doxology exactly when the priest received the offertory plates. -
