St Martin S Magazine July/August 2008 £1 St Martin s Magazine 1 Sumer is icumen in The famous medieval poem of the title above came originally from Reading Abbey and the manuscript is lodged in the British Library. As such it is one of our most precious and famous works in Middle English and in its brief and at one point bawdy stanza it succeeds in capturing the joy and relief that the warm long days of summer have finally arrived. The actually metrological arrival of summer is of course problematic but for most of us the two summer months when schools close and holidays take place are July and August, exactly the period covered by this newsletter/magazine. Christianity also looks towards a summer fulfilment in a theological sense. This is in terms of the completion of all things when Christ shall come again to judge the world and put all things right. This a theme that in a liturgical sense belongs to pre-Christmas Advent, nevertheless it is always with us for Jesus said that we should be like servants ready and waiting for the return of their master. Typically you can find this in Luke chapter 12 vv 35 48 which has words of commendation for those servants who are faithful and condemnation for those who are not. The general idea being that we should be watchful and waiting at all time, that not doubt would include when we are on the beach or more likely sitting in a traffic jam on the way to the coast! Of course, this could give the wrong impression, as Christianity isn t a never-stopping merry go round, on the contrary we also aspire to the peace of God as described in 2 St Paul s Letter to the Philippians Chapter 4 verse 7. But our faith does demand commitment of the kind that means that there can be no part-time Christians and there is no holiday from the faith. We expect the same of God who is with us night and day and he expects the same of us. It s a bit like our other Christian duties being a Godparent for example is in turn like being married the intention is that it s for life and a relationship with God is the same. I for one will not be taking a summer holiday this year, but please don t feel too sorry for me, as I will be on sabbatical study leave from 1st September until 1st December. I shall be trying desperately to finish my doctorate, which I ve been labouring on for the past 4½ years. It is now up to good GCSE O level standard but I think that my tutors expect something rather better now there s another good analogy for our relationship with God. - But I ll stop as sumer is icumen in and we should enjoy it. Nicholas I apologise for the appearance of this edition of the magazine. It is an emergency measure. Arriving back from one s summer hols to discover that one s email is down AGAIN does not make for a reasoned approach to pagination. Have a good summer, enjoy and take great care of yourselves. We ll be back on Sunday 31st August, A5 format, smiling and relaxed after out summer break. Or someone in BT will be very sorry! Lynne A 3 Many of you will have seen and wondered about the recent marriage ceremony in St Bartholomew the Great. You will be interested to see the correspondence by the Bishop of London on this matter. 18th June 2008 Dear Friends, Many of you will have seen the publicity over the weekend around the service which was held at St Bartholomew the Great on May 31st. I attach a letter I have written to the Rector which sets out the situation as I understand it. So much good work is being done both nationally and internationally by the Church as it seeks in the spirit of Jesus Christ to address some of the global issues of peace, justice and poverty that confront the peoples of the world. It would be a tragedy if this episode were to distract us from the big agenda. With thanks for our partnership in the Gospel. The Rt Revd & Rt Hon Richard Chartres DD FSA 18th June 2008 The Reverend Dr Martin Dudley, St Bartholomew the Great Parish Office, 6 Kinghorn Street, London, EC1A 7HW. 4 Dear Martin, You have sought to justify your actions to the BBC and in various newspapers but have failed more than two weeks after the service to communicate with me. I read in the press that you had been planning this event since November. I find it astonishing that you did not take the opportunity to consult your Bishop. You describe the result as familiar words reordered and reconfigured carrying new meanings. I note that the order of service, which I have now received, includes the phrase With this ring I thee bind, with my body I thee worship . At first sight this seems to break the House of Bishops Guidelines which as I explained in my letter of December 6th 2005 apply the traditional teaching of the Church of England to the new circumstances created by the enactment of Civil Partnerships. The point at issue is not Civil Partnerships themselves or the relation of biblical teaching to homosexual practice. There is of course a range of opinion on these matters in the Church and, as you know, homophobia is not tolerated in the Diocese of London. The real issue is whether you wilfully defied the discipline of the Church and broke your oath of canonical obedience to your Bishop. The Archbishops have already issued a statement in which they say that those clergy who disagree with the Church s teaching are at liberty to seek to persuade others within the Church of the reasons why they believe, in the light of Scripture, tradition and reason that it should be changed. But they are not at liberty simply to disregard it. 5 St Bartholomew s is not a personal fiefdom. You serve there as an ordained minister of the Church of England, under the authority of the Canons and as someone who enjoys my licence. I have already asked the Archdeacon of London to commence the investigation and I shall be referring the matter to the Chancellor of the Diocese. Before I do this, I am giving you an opportunity to make representations to me direct. Yours faithfully. The Rt Revd & Rt Hon Richard Chartres DD FSA And now for some good news from the same source Dear Friends Church in Meltdown? Here is some Good News. God has not abandoned us! On Saturday 28th June at 5pm I will be ordaining 34 men and women to the diaconate, with the Psalm Drummers and a Diocesan choir of 75 drawn from our parishes. I never cease to be amazed as deacons of all ages and backgrounds offer themselves to the service of Christ and his church. The emergence of St Mellitus College over the past year represents a bold step of faith and trust. The Bishop of Chelmsford and I will lead a service of thanksgiving and commissioning on Wednesday 2nd July at 7pm in the Cathedral and hope that many of you will come to support the hundreds of students, staff and friends who will gather to give praise to God and to pray for his blessing. The new Dean of St 6 Mellitus, the Revd Dr Graham Tomlin, and the Directors of the two constituent bodies: the Revd Dr David Hilborn, Director of North Thames Ministerial Training Course and the Revd Dr Andy Emerton, Director of St Paul s Theological College will be commissioned. We pray that the College will prove to be an instrument of the Spirit in equipping the people of God to proclaim the Gospel of Christ. 2008 also marks the 10th anniversary of ALMA and there will be a special focus on this ever-growing area of the life of the Diocese in The River of Life: A celebration of London s World Links on Sunday 13th July at 6pm in the Cathedral. Doors open at 5.15 and the Twyford School Gospel Choir will be singing from 5.30pm. The Bishops of Angola, Lebombo and Niassa will be with us for the celebration, together with other bishops from the world-wide church. Prayer and Commitment are two important themes woven into the service and there will be Rivers of Prayer - prayers in the form of words, pictures, postcards and photos which will be attached to blue rivers of cloth that will flow through the aisles of the Cathedral. Please continue to send items for the Rivers of Prayer to Beryl Warren at St Mary s Church, Stoke Newington Church Street, London N16 9ES, 020 7359 5481, [email protected]. We are hoping to see colourful, traditional dress worn by many - I shall do my best. I commend these events to your prayers and hope many of you will join me in the Cathedral to demonstrate that reports of the demise of the Church have been somewhat exaggerated. With thanks for our partnership in the Gospel +Richard The Rt Revd & Rt Hon Richard Chartres DD FSA 7 8 The Churches Players The 2009 Pantomime will be decided once we know the potential cast.

    CONTEXTS FOR PASTORAL CARE: ANGLO-SAXON PRIESTS AND PRIESTLY BOOKS, C. 900–1100 Gerald P. Dyson PhD University of York History March 2016 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination and analysis of the books needed by and available to Anglo-Saxon priests for the provision of pastoral care in the tenth and eleventh centuries. Anglo-Saxon priests are a group that has not previously been studied as such due to the scattered and difficult nature of the evidence. By synthesizing previous scholarly work on the secular clergy, pastoral care, and priests’ books, this thesis aims to demonstrate how priestly manuscripts can be used to inform our understanding of the practice of pastoral care in Anglo-Saxon England. In the first section of this thesis (Chapters 2–4), I will discuss the context of priestly ministry in England in the tenth and eleventh centuries before arguing that the availability of a certain set of pastoral texts prescribed for priests by early medieval bishops was vital to the provision of pastoral care. Additionally, I assert that Anglo- Saxon priests in general had access to the necessary books through means such as episcopal provision and aristocratic patronage and were sufficiently literate to use these texts. The second section (Chapters 5–7) is divided according to different types of priestly texts and through both documentary evidence and case studies of specific manuscripts, I contend that the analysis of individual priests’ books clarifies our view of pastoral provision and that these books are under-utilized resources in scholars’ attempts to better understand contemporary pastoral care.

  • The Report of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission
    THE REPORT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY’S COMMISSION ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS TO THE WIDER CHURCH OF ENGLAND 30 September 2019 Letter from the Chair of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Commission on the relationship of the Channel Islands to the wider Church of England, the Right Revd & Rt Hon the Lord Chartres, GCVO PC Dear Archbishop, At the beginning of the work of the Commission you insisted that we should not seek to pass judgement on the unhappy sequence of events which precipitated the breakdown of relations between the Diocese of Winchester and the Deaneries of Guernsey and Jersey. Rather we were to focus on the possibility and shape of a future relationship conducive to the mutual flourishing of the Church in the Islands and the wider Church of England. We were charged to consult with the ecclesiastical and secular authorities in the Islands, with the Bishop of Winchester, his staff and other interested parties. This we have endeavoured to do. In the Report which follows we have proposed a way forward which, I believe, honours the polity of the Church of England and in particular the enhanced level of accountability of its bishops in the light of recent legislation but which also recognises and respects the traditions, both legal and ecclesiastical, which obtain in the Channel Islands. Our recommendations for action are attached. I have been very fortunate to be joined in this Commission by Baroness Judith Wilcox and Sir Christopher Clarke. After a distinguished business and political career, Baroness Wilcox has been able to offer a shrewd analysis of the context for our work while Sir Christopher Clarke with his extensive experience as a former Judge of the Courts of Appeal in Guernsey and Jersey, and Lord Justice of Appeal, has contributed an invaluable legal perspective.

    3/30/2021 He is bright and prepared to take a stand for something he believes in, even if it's not going with the mainstream | Anglicanism | The Gua… News Opinion Sport Culture Lifestyle The Guardian profile He is bright and prepared to take a stand for something he believes in, even if it's not going with the mainstream Riazat Butt, religious affairs correspondent Thu 19 Jun 2008 19.01 EDT Until last Sunday few people had heard of the Reverend Dr Martin Dudley BD MSc MTh PhD FSA FRHistS AKC. He had written some handbooks, such as the Parish Survival Guide, but his reputation did not extend far beyond the boundaries of St Bartholomew the Great, the pretty 12th-century church in the City of London. Indeed, the building was more famous than him, starring in blockbusters including Four Weddings and a Funeral and Shakespeare in Love. But a lot can change in a week and when, on May 31, he presided at a service for two gay clergy the rector could never have predicted that, a fortnight later, he would be swept into the eye of a storm. Since news broke of the ceremony - which had a wedding march, rings, vows, two best men, a fanfare and confetti - Dudley has been publicly admonished by his own bishop, the Right Rev Richard Chartres, and the two archbishops, Rowan Williams and John Sentamu, for a possible breach of guidelines on blessing civil partnerships. Dudley's actions could not have happened at a worse time, fuelling an already bitter and protracted power struggle that threatens the unity of the Anglican Communion, with conservative dioceses from Africa and America opposing the more accommodating nature of the Church of England towards the ordination and consecration of gay clergy.

Abstract Since the late 20th century information technology has changed the lives of individuals and relationships at local, nation and even global levels. In particular the internet is used by many religious groups for theological and spiritual purposes. Some parts of Christianity have confronted the issue of how to deal with the use of internet. As a result, an internet church has emerged, offering Eucharistic services online across the globe. Even though the numbers of internet churches/Eucharistic groups have sharply increased in the last two decades, the attitude of the established churches does not appear to have taken account of this change yet. To achieve this it is necessary for such initiatives to be guided by certain theological norms or church regulations. This may relate to the definition of church, Eucharistic theology, or how to deal with emerging cultures.
