  • Pastors and Pilgrims: Augustinian Reform in The
    PASTORS AND PILGRIMS: AUGUSTINIAN REFORM IN THE LATE MEDIEVAL ENGLISH CHURCH by JONATHAN FOGGIN (Under the Direction of Cynthia Turner Camp ) ABSTRACT This study examines currents of reform in the late medieval English church. One of its primary arguments is that “reform” is a concept fundamental to the Christian faith, and the notion of a single, monolithic “Reformation” obscures and distorts other movements of renewal in the history of the church. A related assertion is that “the Reformation” exhibits characteristics more closely connected to revolution than reform. In the early-fifteenth century, the most successful attempts at reform arose out of the renewed appreciation of Augustine that took place in the previous century. While the culturally Protestant English academy has traditionally understood Augustinianism to be synonymous with the doctrine of predestination, in the later Middle Ages there were numerous other strands of Augustinian thought. Of equal, if not more importance, than the predestinarian strain of Augustinianism, was a theological approach that emphasized the cura animarum and the pilgrimage of life. This “pastoral Augustinianism” eschews the revolutionary tendencies that animate predestinarian modes of thought, such as Wycliffism and much of early modern Protestantism, and instead sees religious renewal as something patient of (in the Christian sense of the word) terrestrial imperfection. It is this emphasis on measured, incremental advancement through the fallen world that is characteristic of true reform. These reformist tendencies can be seen in the writings of William Langland and the faith and practice of the Austin Canons, one of whom, an Oxford theologian named Philip Repingdon, came to exercise great influence within the English church.

The building housing the chapel is in danger of collapsing if some- thing isn’t done quickly, said the Rt. Rev. Steven Ayule-Milenge, Bishop Ordinary of the Missionary Diocese of Congo whose office is located in the damaged structure, in an email dated Sept. 4. The chapel had sustained a 2cm crack in the rear wall by the altar and along the chancel pavement in the quake, which registered 5.6 magnitude and occurred at 3:45am local time Aug. 7. According to the Volcanic Research Centre, the epicenter was in Lake Kivu, about 50km north of Bukavu, the largest city in eastern Congo with about 800,000 inhabitants. A retaining wall under construction was not affected by the quake, Bishop Ayule-Milenge said.
