  • Martyrology 12 09 19

    Martyrology 12 09 19

    Martyrology An Anglican Martyrology - for the British Isles 1 of 160 Martyrology Introduction The base text is the martyrology compiled by Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB. Copyright © 2008 by the Monastery of the Ascension, Jerome, ID 83338 and available online at the website of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The calendars of each of the three Anglican churches of the British isles contain varied group commemorations, I suggest these entries are read only in the province where they are observed and have indicated that by the use of italics and brackets. However, people, particularly in the Church of England, are woefully ignorant of the history of the other Anglican churches of our islands and it would be good if all entries for the islands are used in each province. The Roman dates are also indicated where these vary from Anglican ones but not all those on the Roman Calendar have an entry. The introductions to the saints and celebrations in the Anglican calendars in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in Exciting Holiness, ed. Brother Tristam SSF, The Canterbury Press, 1997, have been added where a saint did not already appear in the martyrology. These have been adapted to indicate the place and date of death at the beginning, as is traditional at the reading of the martyrology. For the place of death I have generally relied on Wikipedia. For Irish, Welsh and Scottish celebrations not appearing in Exciting Holiness I have used the latest edition of Celebrating the Saints, Canterbury Press, 2004. These entries are generally longer than appear in martyrologies and probably need editing down even more than I have done if they are to be read liturgically.

It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds, which faith the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Spirit, it has borne witness to Christian truth in its historic formularies, the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, The Book of Common Prayer and the Ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons. In the declaration you are about to make will you affirm your loyalty to this inheritance of faith as your inspiration and guidance under God in bringing the grace and truth of Christ to this generation and making him known to those in your care?” Preface to the Declaration of Assent (Canon C15) These words introduce the Declaration of Assent which is made by those being commissioned for ordained and lay ministries in our church. They indicate the particular place which the Church of England inhabits in the life of this country. Our heritage is that of the Gospel handed down through the generations, but also the heritage of our ministry and our buildings, together with a substantial role in the nation’s public life.

    Ann Gurney Ann Was Born in 1927 in Plumstead

    Ann Gurney 20 April, 2019 Photograph: Jim Grover Ann was born in 1927 in Plumstead; an only child. At the end of World War Two, aged 18, Ann spent three years at Gilmore House in Clapham, a Church of England training college for women originally founded in 1891 by Isabella Gilmore, who promoted the ministry of Deaconesses and who is now recognised by a wall plaque in Southwark Cathedral. Ann’s first parish role was in Walworth, where she spent five years on the staff at St Paul’s Church, Lorrimore Square. During that period Ann felt called to a life of ministry and so she returned to Gilmore House to train as a Deaconess [a ministry which was open to women who could not at this stage be ordained], which she became in 1954 at the age of 27. As a Deaconess she joined St John’s Church in Catford for two years, before becoming an assistant chaplain at a Church College of Education. In 1959, at the age of 32, Ann returned to Gilmore House but this time as its Principal, the ‘Head Deaconess’, a post she held for 11 years until the college’s closure in 1970. She then moved to the Diocese of London, where she became the Bishop’s adviser for Lay Ministry, and Head Deaconess, for 17 years, supporting women in their ministry until she reached the retirement age of 60 in 1987. 1987 marked the year in which women were first ordained as Deacons and so Ann was admitted to the Diaconate for, what seemed to her to be, the second time...one month before her retirement.

  • Introduction

    Introduction On behalf of the Trustees, I am pleased to present this, the fourth annual report of the Archbishops’ Council. In what proved to be another year of change, the Archbishops’ Council saw the largest renewal in its membership since it was established in 1999. We have been blessed since our establishment with people who are committed to serving God through their engagement with the Council and we give thanks for them. We are deeply grateful for the contributions of those members who have left and we are delighted to welcome the three new appointed members amongst our number. We are already benefiting from sharing our common task with them and learning from their experiences and insights. 2002 also saw the appointment of Rowan Williams as Archbishop of Canterbury following the retirement of Archbishop George Carey. Archbishop George’s commitment to the idea and aims of the Council was deep and he was instrumental in helping it to take shape. We thank God for his ministry and offer our prayers for a long, happy and active retirement. We look forward to sharing in Rowan’s ministry in this new stage of the Council’s life. In October, following Philip Mawer’s departure to take up his new post as Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, the Council was also pleased to welcome William Fittall as new Secretary General. In expressing our thanks to Philip for his indefatigable work with the Council from the beginning, we wish to assure William of our continued prayers and support in his task of helping us to shape the future of the Archbishops’ Council.

Der Diakon als erste Stufe des dreifachen Amtes Kennzeichnend für die Church of England als Kirche der Reformation ist das dreifache Amt. Gegen eine calvinistische Umstrukturierung des kirchlichen Am­ tes in Doktor, Pastor, Älteste und Diakon wurde in der Vorrede zum neuen „Or­ dinal“ des Jahres 1550 behauptet: Allen Menschen ist es durch sorgfältige Lektüre der Heiligen Schrift und der Kir­ chenväter deutlich, dass es seit den Aposteln eine dreifache Gliederung der Ämter in der Kirche Christi gegeben hat: Bischöfe, Priester und Diakone ...1 2 Trotz allem Hin- und Hcrschvvanken der englischen Reformation und des hefti­ gen Drucks der eher calvinistisch veranlagten „Puritaner“ im letzten Drittel des 16. Jahrhunderts ist diese traditionelle - wenn auch nicht unbedingt apostoli­ sche! — Amtsstruktur in der englischen Kirche erhalten geblieben. Befestigt wurde sie durch die Erfahrung mit dem Commonwealth im 17. Jahrhundert. Die bewusste Entscheidung, bei der Restauration des Königshauses 1660 eine bi­ schöfliche Kirchenordnung wieder einzuführen, war unterdessen eine Entschei­ dung für die dreifache Amtsstruktur.
