No. Dear Old Silhillians, President P. Thomas (0121) 456 2627 When I was asked by Mike Bettridge to become his President-elect, little did I know that when it 23 Bonningale Way, became time for me to take over the office of President, that I would be setting out on such an interesting and enjoyable journey. In December, at the Annual Dinner all seemed a little strange and Dorridge, to be totally honest, I was beginning to wonder what I had let myself in for, but within a very short Solihull period of time my dear old pal John Richardson, our illustrious secretary, had come to my rescue with a detailed plan of the year's activities ahead and almost at once the fog began to clear, and I could see that this was going to be tremendous fun. President-Elect J. Batsford (01564) 778198 (0121) 609 7666 The first official duty that any President has to perform in his year of office is that of reading a 14 Hansell Drive, lesson at the service of nine lessons and carols held in the school chapel. As a past School Sacristan, Dorridge, the prospect of carrying out this duty did not worry me in the slightest, that is until I took my place on the altar steps and the service got under way. I was scheduled to read lesson No. 6. The first one Solihull up was a young boy from the Junior School, who I have to say read his lesson with the maturity and disposition of an Oxford Don. Then came a boy from the middle school, and another from the upper school — both of whom were faultless in their delivery. After the boys came a Master of the School, Hon. Secretary A.J. Richardson (01564) 776565 (01564) 776565 followed by the President of the Parents' Association — again equally faultless — and then it was 4 Everitt Drive, my turn. Well I was 'scared stiff' not only at the prospect of floundering at the lectern, but I could not Knowle, work out which was the best route that I should take to get to it, as there appeared to be a number Solihull, B93 9EP of obstacles (chairs, candlesticks — not to mention people) between me and my place behind the lectern. Anyway, I survived the ordeal and I have to say thoroughly enjoyed the service, which incidentally I would strongly recommend any old boy/girl to attend if they possibly can. Christmas seemed to come and go pretty quickly and with one or two dinners to attend in Chairman of the H.E. Blow (0121) 744 4756 (0121) 709 0086 January/February I seemed to be operating at a reasonably comfortable pace. Little did I realize that this Management 21c Hampton Lane, was the 'quiet before the storm' as between 28th March and the end of June, I was to attend Committee Solihull, B91 2QE approximately forty functions, and see my slim, firm and finely tuned almost athletic frame develop into something more akin to that of a beached whale. Without exception, all of the sports sections were particularly kind and generous to me during this period, inviting me to their dinners and various sporting Headmaster Patrick Derham (0121) 705 0958 (0121) 705 0958 events, and I can honestly say that I will always remember their hospitality with much affection. Solihull School, There have, however, been two events during the year which I particularly enjoyed and would wish to make special mention of. The first one was the occasion of the Centenary Inspection of the CCF Warwick Road, held at Solihull School. Phil Griffiths did an outstanding job in organising such an event and I felt Solihull, B91 3DJ incredibly honoured to take part in the day, which made me feel privileged to be a former pupil of Solihull School. As one would expect the day went with great military precision and we were entertained with a fly-past by Tornado Aircraft, a parachute display team from the Red Arrows and Membership Secretary M. Waters (0121) 704 4819 an exhibition of numerous items of military hardware, tanks, rocket launchers and the like. Even the 30 Whitley Avenue, boys and girls from the school were being given helicopter rides over Solihull in the very latest military Solihull aircraft. All this on one of the hottest days of this unusually miserable summer. The day concluded with an excellent dinner held in the School Refectory and again, one felt privileged to be a part of such an event where more than 150 former pupils who had each chosen to make their careers in the The 'Silhillian' Editor C.T. Coto n (0121) 705 6698 armed forces were present. The second event which I thoroughly enjoyed this year was that of the Summer Ball, which, despite 35 Whitefields Road, suffering from diminishing numbers attending in previous years, was a great success, with more than Solihull, B91 3NX 150 enjoying an evening of fun and fellowship well into the early hours of the morning. I would personally like to take this opportunity to thank all of those members who supported me and a particular mention to those who helped me with the background organisation. My dear Ann must Hon. Treasurer R. Jerrom (0121) 754 4131 have written out the seating plan 100 times just to ensure that each and every detail was correct. Jerrom Associates When I took over the office of President of your Association, I had two simple objectives for the Westminster House, year. The first was to ensure that the financial growth of the Club continued to secure the future existence of the association for years to come, and the second objective was to try and further the 188/190 Stratford Road, links between the school and the OSA. Shirley, Well, financially, it has been quite a tough year, though I am pleased to report that we have at least Solihull, B90 3AQ come out on top and though our financial growth has not been as significant as I would have hoped, we have nonetheless made something of a small profit. The second objective which I personally consider to be of equal — if not more importance than that of financial growth, was that of developing further the link between the OSA and the school. Patrick Derham has been an absolute delight to work with in this regard, and I would like to take this THE ASSOCIATION THE ASSOCIATION opportunity to thank both Patrick and his lovely wife Allison for all the support that they have both given me during the year. As many of you are already aware, I felt ashamed when I discovered what little the OSA did in PRESIDENT-ELECT regard to providing scholarships at the school, and in January I launched my President's Scholarship Appeal Fund, where it is my intention to raise, during the course of the next five years, a sum of £200,000 for the purpose of providing scholarships for people who because of financial constraints, JOHN BATSFORD - PRESIDENT-ELECT are unable to attend Solihull School. I am pleased to report that the initial reaction to such a project was well received by many of you and I would like to thank all of you who have sent me cheques. Solihull School — 1959-1969 So far, at the time of writing, I have received approximately £9,000 through donations and I hope Windsor that with a proposed concert to be held in the school chapel with Nigel Kennedy playing, a further £15,000 should be raised. Obviously we have a long way to go, so please if you have not contributed John entered Solihull School as the youngest pupil in the yet then please, please do so, as and when you can. newest House — Windsor having been formed at the start of Before I sign off, I would like to make one further plea for support, and that is to all OSA Members the 1959 academic year. who have or have had children at Solihull School to encourage them to join our wonderful association. Delivered into the tender mercies of Miss Bradwell, he rose Life was much easier 25 years ago when the parents of pupils at school were given an opportunity through the School with a notable lack of academic prowess to pay a little extra on the school fees, to enable their children when they finished school, to in the care of such memorable masters as Messrs Crawford, automatically become 'life members of the association' (something which I would dearly like the Bailey, Rickman, Berridge and Costard to the Sixth Form and governors to consider reintroducing — it works for King Edward's).

    Sergei Bulgakov and the Search for the Ecumenical Future

    The Hour is Coming, and is Now Come: Sergei Bulgakov and the Search for the Ecumenical Future by Scott Allan Sharman A Thesis submitted to the Faculty the University of St. Michael’s College and the Theological Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College © Copyright by Scott Sharman 2014 The Hour is Coming, and is Now Come: Sergei Bulgakov and the Search for the Ecumenical Future Scott Sharman Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of St. Michael’s College 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation draws upon the lived and written ecclesiology of Sergei Nikolaevich Bulgakov (1871-1944) in order to make theological and methodological contributions to the current debates surrounding the future of the Christian ecumenical movement. Part I lays the groundwork for the subsequent chapters. It begins with a brief introduction to Bulgakov’s personal history and context, as well as an identification of the most relevant primary and secondary sources on the topics of Church and ecumenism. This is followed by a short survey of the origins and significant highlights of the ecumenical movement in the twentieth century, and an identification of certain challenges which have emerged in the latter part of the century. Part II represents the heart of the study. It sets out to engage in an in-depth examination of the key features of Bulgakov’s ecumenical thought and career. Initial attention is given to both the personal and intellectual influences which shaped Bulgakov’s vision of Christian unity.

    The Louth Herald The magazine of the Team Parish of Louth 60p JUNE 2014 A celebratery walk of about 2 miles, from Westminster Abbey where we had gathered, to St. Paul's Cathedral, led by a band, on a warm, sunny afternoon began this momentous day of thankgiving and happiness. On reaching the Ca- thedral, all the "1994 Ordinands", retired to the Crypt to robe in albs and white stoles. We then met the Archbishop, Justin Welby, for photographs. As we stood on the steps we were a wall of white. The Archbishop greeted us and chat- ted informally.Photographs over, we were ushered through the three entrences into the Cathedral. I was aware of a kind of roaring noise and unrealistically thought it was a lawn mower, then as it increased, I thought it was an areoplane. On stepping inside the relative darkness after the bright sunshine , I was momentarily blinded but the noise had now reached a crescendo. As I regained my sight, I realized the whole enormous congregation was standing and applauding us. Tears sprang into my eyes. It was overwhelming and the first time that it dawned on me that we were re- garded as pioneers. It was a strangely lonely and emotional walk up the aisle to my seat. I am told the applause lasted about 25 minutes. Twenty years ago at my ordination in Lincoln Cathedral, I had thought that then was the pinacle of our struggle to be accepted on equal terms, but Saturday, 3rd. of May, at St. Paul's was a final aknowledgement.

    Summer Salon July 2021

    Summer Salon July 2021 AMANDA HALL RARE BOOKS Summer Salon Easton Farmhouse June 2021 This time last year, during deepest, darkest Lockdown, we were busy dismantling the bookcases of our Old Dairy office in Teffont Evias and moving work and family to nearby Berwick St John, where we began on the great restoration project of Easton Farmhouse. In spite of astonishing challenges in moving during a pandemic, there were distinct advantages. For one thing, the roads were as empty as a fairy tale land under enchantment as we spent our days driving back and forth with books and bookshelves one day and children and chickens the next. For another, it gave us plenty to do in some of the quietest months of the restrictions. The old dining room of Easton, with its tattered brown wallpaper and crumbling lath and plaster, has been reborn as the Blue Room, home to books as old as the house itself, though not perhaps as old as the vaulted cellar below, which kept us rather chilly during our first winter. Now that high summer has arrived, and there seems to be a momentary lull in online book fairs, we would like to invite you to an Imaginary Summer Salon here at Easton. After a brief return to the rains, the sun came back in splendour this morning, the swallows are everywhere (inside and out!), the house-warming roses are blooming and the Weeping Ash is showing a reassuring burst of green. AMANDA HALL RARE BOOKS For this informal Virtual Salon we have chosen nine themes or imaginary shelves.

    In January 1991 Gordon Sleight Was Still the Vicar of Crosby with Joanna Anderson As Curate

    In January 1991 Gordon Sleight was still the Vicar of Crosby with Joanna Anderson as Curate. The Youth & Community Worker was Mick Maskell with Pat Newcombe as his assistant. The Parish Clerk was Janice Brader and the Church Wardens were Barbara Scott and Norman Jackson. Tim Savage was PCC Secretary and Steve Barker was PCC Treasurer. Lesley Sleight, the Parish Magazine Editor, recorded that 1991 would see some changes in the magazine as a new team would be taking over during the next few months. Subscriptions remained the same at 15p. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity was marked with a series of services in the Town Centre Parishes between 18-25 January. The Speaker for the Lent United Services and discussions, scheduled for February and March, would be the Right Reverend David Tustin, the Bishop of Grimsby. Pat Newcombe wrote that the St George’s Credit Union, which was set up during the summer of 1989 with 30 members, now had funds of £2,000, and it should become registered this year. To join this Credit Union a member had to live within the Parish of Crosby or be connected with the work of the Church or Community Department. All members had a say in how the Credit Union operates. A Credit Union was useful for many reasons; it kept local money in the local area. Loans were made from the savings pool and repayments allowed this money to be re-loaned and so on. No one was exploited and interest rates are set by law and are the same for all members.
