His First Three Months at Christ Church Fox Chapel Have Reaffirmed the Rev His first three months at Christ Church Fox Chapel have reaffirmed the Rev. Alex Shuttleworth's decision to move with his family from London to start fresh in the United States. The new beginning is not his alone. Shuttleworth, 36, was named pastor of the church along Squaw Run Road East after the congregation was without a leader for more than a year. “There's a sense of hope here,” said Shuttleworth, who likened his hometown of Liverpool in England to Pittsburgh and its nearby suburbs. Already, Shuttleworth has enlisted parishioners to help expand the clubs and fellowship activities that will attract more people to the church. He hosts an informal evening service on Saturdays with a youth ministry afterward. There will be vacation Bible school in July, and he plans an introductory Christianity course this fall, with courses to follow in winter. “Our job is to make the door be as open as possible,” he said. During the week, there is men's group, a moms group, and, Shuttleworth said, “I do chapel for the school kids every week” at the neighboring Fox Chapel Country Day School. “The church will at some point reflect the age of its pastor,” he said. “I can't give people anything special; they just need Jesus. The Bible has the power to give them hope.” There currently are about 120 members who attend weekly services. Shuttleworth said he would like to make the church accessible to more. Shuttleworth wants to “get off the hill,” he said, and is considering the possibility of offering sermons and ministry groups in Blawnox. Longtime parishioner Connie Hughes, who served as interim leader of the church, said she thinks Shuttleworth is the right man to revive the Anglican church. “I believe Alex is the man to lead us into new times,” she said. “He is sure-footed, enthusiastic and thoughtful. I so enjoy watching the faces of our parishioners as he speaks. They are fully engaged and smiling.” Ordained in the Church of England, Shuttleworth earned theology degrees from Bristol and Canterbury universities. His service to the church in London ran the gamut from the Holy Trinity Redhill Church with a congregation of 1,000 to the poor and much-less-attended Timplerely Family Church. Once a practicing attorney, Shuttleworth said he battled depression in his 20s and turned to the church for help. “I started getting into my faith, working with kids at summer camp, studying the Bible,” he said. “It was all way more fun than being a barrister.” Church member Connie Guggenheimer said Shuttleworth's enthusiasm is genuine, and it has helped solidify a foundering congregation. “While Alex is a young rector, he has great appeal to all age groups,” she said. “I feel that we have been blessed with his intelligence and energy.” Settling into his home in Fox Chapel hasn't been difficult for Shuttleworth, as, he said, it reminds him of the suburb of Devon where he spent his childhood. And he already is wearing black and gold like a true Steelers fan, he said with a laugh. “The only difference is I'm used to my teams losing,” he said. “I'm afraid my new teams might actually win.” Tawnya Panizzi is a staff writer for Trib Total Media.

  • Open Muroya Thesis.Pdf
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY A COMPARISON OF NORMAN ARCHITECTURE IN THE KINGDOMS OF ENGLAND AND SICILY Mikito Muroya FALL 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in History with honors in History Reviewed and approved* by the following: Kathryn Salzer Assistant Professor of History Thesis Supervisor Mike Milligan Senior Lecturer in History Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This study offers a comparison of the differing architectural styles and forms in the Norman Kingdoms of Sicily and England, exploring what exactly differed, as well as attempting to determine why such differences exist in each area. In the Kingdom of England, the Normans largely imported their own forms from Normandy, incorporating little of the Anglo-Saxon architectural heritage. There are in fact examples of seemingly deliberate attempts to eliminate important Anglo-Saxon buildings and replace them with structures built along Norman lines. By contrast, in the Kingdom of Sicily, buildings erected after the arrival of the Normans feature a mix of styles, incorporating features of the earlier Islamic, Byzantine and local Italian Romanesque, as well as the Normans' own forms. It is difficult to say why such variance existed, but there are numerous possibilities. Some result from the way each state was formed: England had already existed as a kingdom when the Normans conquered the land and replaced the ruling class, while the Kingdom of Sicily was a creation of the Norman conquerors; furthermore, the length of time taken to complete the conquest contrasted greatly.

  • Eltham Palace: Its Chapels and Chaplains
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 83 1968 ELTHAM PALACE: ITS CHAPELS AND CHAPLAINS By H. J. PRAGNELL ELTHAM PALACE as we see it today is represented by a fifteenth- century Great Hall, stone and brick walls surrounding the moat, and a triple-arched stone bridge thought to have been rebuilt in the reign of Edward IV. The only pictorial record of the complete palace known to exist, the engraving by Peter Stent made about 1650, is inaccurate in some details and is in any case drawn from a considerable distance outside the moated area. It may well be that Stent never saw the palace and made his engraving from somebody else's drawing. Nonsuch Palace which was once thought to have little pictorial evidence surviving is rich in comparison with Eltham. We are fortunate, however, in possessing two plans of Eltham by John Thorpe which are thought to have been made about 1590 but may in fact be slightly later. Accounts for 1603-04 record payment for 'measuring' the plan of the house,1 whereas no such payment occurs in the accounts c. 1590 though the annual records of repair work are complete for this period. One plan covers the outer court, the other the moated area. Both have been carefully studied and were redrawn as a single plan for inclusion in Clapham and Godfrey's Famous Buildings and their Story, 1913. From the plan of the moated area it is possible to see the approximate shape and proportions of the Great Chapel as it existed in the sixteenth century. This plan will be referred to later in connection with the rebuilding of the chapel by order of Henry VIII.

  • St Ansem's Chapel, Canterbury Cathedral
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 18 1889 ( 169 ) ST. ANSBLM'S CHAPEL, CANTEBBTOY CATHEDEAL. (EOEMEELT THE CHAPEi OF SAIHTS PETBE AKD PAUL.) BY CANON SCOTT ROBERTSON. THIS chapel, upon tlie soutli side of the choir's south aisle, stands above the crypt-chapel of St. Gabriel, the paintings in which were described by me, and fully illustrated, in Archceologia, Oantiana,, Vol. XHI., pp. 48-80. Late in the year 1888, Canon Francis J. Holland gener- ously undertook to restore St. Anselm's Chapel, and to fit it up for the use of such small congregations as would assemble, for instance, at early morning administrations of the Holy Communion. In the course of the work necessary for carrying out Ms purpose, certain discoveries have been made which are of interest. Especially deserving of mention and of record, is the uncovering of a painting, in distemper, of St. Paul, shaking off the viper into the fire at Melita. The work, wMch Canon Holland had undertaken, was found to require far greater labour and much longer time, than he or any one could possibly have anticipated. Before describing it in. detail, it may be well to recall to the reader's memory what, the chapel contains. It formed part of Ernulf's and Conrad's work at the commencement of the twelfth century. On the north side of this: chapel stands the elaborately carved tomb of Archbishop Simon Mepham, who died in 1338-4 on the llth of February. The record of his inter- 170 ST.

  • Nonconformist Places of Worship Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary
    Nonconformist Places of Worship Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. ‘Nonconformist’ has long been used as a description of Protestant Christians in England and Wales who were not part of the Church of England. Among the numerous denominations are the Baptists, Methodists, Quakers and the Salvation Army. By the mid-nineteenth century their chapels and meeting houses, the subject of this brief introduction, outnumbered the buildings of the Church of England’s. While many chapels are now disused or have seen conversion, they remain characteristic and often notable buildings in settlements in all parts of the country. This guidance note has been written by Christopher Wakeling and edited by Paul Stamper.

  • Luce Chapel.Pdf
    1 Luce Chapel is a renowned architecture in Taiwan. With its outstanding achievements, it certainly stands outin the modern architectural movement of Preface post-war Taiwan. In October 2014, Luce Chapel was chosen to be one of the ten global classic modern architectures, and the first project within Asian architecture,which received the first “Keeping It Modern” (hereafter abbreviated as KIM) Grant from the Getty Foundation. The Grant acknowledgesthese 20th century modern architectures as milestones of human civilization. With high experimental mentalities, groups of architects and engineersof the previous centuryboldlytried out exploratory materials and cutting edge construction techniques, and built innovative architectures thathave stimulated changes in their surrounding environments, histories, local culture, and forever transformed the philosophical approaches of architecture. However, the Getty Foundation also regards these architectures to be under various degrees of risks. Being fifty to sixty or even older, many of these innovative materials and techniques boldly used at the time oftheirsconstruction were not, and still have not been scientifically tested and analyzed to this very day. Furthermore, the productions of many of these materials have been discontinued due to low adoptions in the market, making conservations even more difficult. Therefore, the Getty Foundation KIM grants promote the sustainable conservation of modern architecture. This focus has also been the core value of the Luce Chapel conservation project. Built in 1963, Luce Chapel has stood on the campus of Tunghai University for over 50 years. This building was designed and built to function as a church building, and has maintained its religious purpose over the years.However, as the number of faculty and students continues to grow,the space demand for community engagements and ceremonial activities of colleges and departments on campus have also increased extensively.
