The Father Ignatius Memorial Trust N E W S L E T T E R No The Father Ignatius Memorial Trust N E W S L E T T E R No. 46 Spring 2018 The Abbey Church East Window by Professor Nicholas Cope (see page 8) 2 The ecumenical Father Ignatius Memorial Trust was established in 1967 and organises an annual Pilgrimage from Llanthony to Capel-y-ffin. The Trust has in its care the statue of Our Lady at Capel-y-ffin Monastery as well as the ruins of the adjacent Abbey Church, and the nearby Wayside Calvary. The Monastery was founded in 1870 by Fr Ignatius OSB (Joseph Leycester Lyne 1837-1908), first restorer of monastic life for men in the Church of England and popular mission preacher. Fr Ignatius’ body is buried within the Abbey Church; Charity Commissioners’ further information about him can be found on the Trust Registration No.253225 website: www.fatherignatius.org.uk Trustees Contents Caroline Woollard (Hon Chairman) 1 Cover Photo: The East Window Hugh Allen 3 Letter from the Chairman Dr Peter Davies (Hon Secretary) Caroline Woollard Revd Canon Philip Wyn Davies ssc Revd Jeremy Dowding ssc 5 Additions to the llanthony Story Andrew Downey (Master of Ceremonies) Hugh Allen Andrew Knill (Hon Treasurer) 8 Llanthony Abbey: the East Window Stanley Knill Nicholas Cope Deborah Lyne (Emeritus) Rachael C.

The work of the Trust continues. Although the Abbey Church is now sadly unsafe for public access due to irremediable instability of the higher north, east and south walls, the Trust is continuing to make repairs to the lower west wall, outside which the annual Pilgrimage ends. In addition, the railings around the Wayside Calvary are undergoing a complete refurbishment, and repairs to the plinth of the Statue of Our Lady are being planned.

Cure for Sodomy” was deemed to be sufficiently inflammatory that the police escorting the National Pilgrimage of Our Lady of Walsingham in 2004 required that it be taken down (fig. 9).1 Disgust at this official line can be found, as a component of a substantial campaign of vilification of the shrine, on the website of the European Institute of Protestant Studies (EIPS) which is housed in the Paisley Jubilee Complex of the Martyrs‟ Memorial Free Presbyterian Church in Belfast. Its President is Ian Paisley, until recently First Minister of Northern Ireland, founder and moderator of the Free Presbyterian Church in Belfast and possessor of an Honorary Doctorate from the evangelical Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina. The purpose of the institute is to “expound the Bible and expose the Papacy” and it offers courses which include “showing Roman Catholics the way to Christ,” “False doctrines of Roman Catholicism,” and “The Church of Rome and Politics (an exposure of the Vatican conspiracy to overthrow civil government from the twelfth century to the present, with particular emphasis on the history of Papal assaults against Britain and Rome's contemporary involvement in the European Union).”2 [Fig.

" We must not stint Our necessary ac'ions, in the fear To cope malicious censurers : which ever, As ravenous fishes, do a vessel follow That is new trimm'd." King Henry VIII. LONDON MURRAY AND CO., 13, PATERNOSTER ROW. 1864. — PREFACE. The following pages contain notes of a visit paid to Claydon in the summer of 1863. Books of travel are much written now-a-days, if not much read ; and as we are often told that our own country supplies the widest and most necessitous mission-field without crossing the ocean in search of heathens who need converting, so it not unfrequently happens that as much instruction may he gained by the investigation of home scenes as by researches in foreign climes. At all events, to most Englishmen the monastic system is as much a terra incog- nita as the source of the Nile, or the interior of the Japanese Empire ; and a man who has spent Three Months in a Monastery, though he have naught to relate of perilous encounters and hair-Breadth escapes—though he can grace his narrative with none of the stirring incidents of travel and though he performed his journey most prosaically by an ordinary English railway—may not unfairly claim some of the respect paid to the visitor of a distant land. The traveller who "does" the Pyramids finds himself surrounded by monuments of the Pharaohs and the Ptolemys ; but the inmate of a monastery sees before him daily and hourly a living panorama of the times of St.

    Book Reviews ROME AND CANTERBURY : A BIBLICAL AND FREE CATHOLICISM. By Emmanuel A mand de Mendieta. (Herbert] enkins.) 256 pp. 25s. The recent appointment of an ex-Roman Catholic priest, a monk of the Order of St. Benedict, to a residentiary Canonry of Winchester Cathedral, caused a mild sensation. This book is the story, by Emmanuel Amand de Mendieta himself, of the events which made this unusual appointment possible. He vigorously disclaims any thought of writing an anti-Roman pamphlet, but it is not easy to justify one's own action without putting the other party in the wrong. The Dean of King's College, Cambridge, who writes a Foreword, confesses that in some respects he sees the Church of Rome in a more favourable light, and the Church of England in a less favourable light, than the author. The book is in two parts, the first biographical and the second theological. Dr. de Mendieta, as a boy, was magnetically attracted by the Abbey of Maredsous, near his home in Belgium, and its dramatic liturgical services. He confesses this attraction to have been partly resthetic. He would often bicycle the twelve miles to linger under the spell of the Abbey, and he manages to convey to us something of the thrill when eventually he entered the Abbey, was ordained to the priesthood, and took the vows of the Benedictine Order (without, as he says, realizing their full gravity in a concrete way). But his dreams of the monastic life were not fulfilled. He and the Abbot seem to have taken a mutual dislike to one another.
