Bishop of Brechin, and Primus of the Episcopal Church in Scotland. ILLUSTRATED BY A. C. CROLL MURRAY. Selkirk : The Scottish Chronicle" Offices. 1917. Co — V. PREFACE. The following chapters appeared in the pages of " The Scottish Chronicle " in 1915 and 1916, and it is owing to the courtesy of the Proprietor and Editor that they are now republished in book form. Their original publication in the pages of a Church newspaper will explain something of the lines on which the book is fashioned. The articles were written to explain and to describe the origin and de\elopment of the Armorial Bearings of the ancient Dioceses of Scotland. These Coats of arms are, and have been more or less con- tinuously, used by the Scottish Episcopal Church since they came into use in the middle of the 17th century, though whether the disestablished Church has a right to their use or not is a vexed question. Fox-Davies holds that the Church of Ireland and the Episcopal Chuich in Scotland lost their diocesan Coats of Arms on disestablishment, and that the Welsh Church will suffer the same loss when the Disestablishment Act comes into operation ( Public Arms).

  • The Diocese of Sodor Between N I Ð Aróss and Avignon – Rome, 1266
    Theð diocese of Sodor between Ni aróss and Avignon – Rome, 1266-1472 Sarah E. Thomas THE organisation and administration of the diocese of Sodor has been discussed by a number of scholars, either jointly with Argyll or in relation to 1 ð Norway. In 1266 the diocese of Sodor or Su reyjar encompassed the Hebrides and the Isle of Man, but by the end of the fourteenth century, it was divided between the Scottish Hebrides and English Man. The diocese’s origins lay in the Norseð kingdom of the Isles and Man and its inclusion in the province of Ni aróss can be traced back to the actions of Olaf 2 Godredsson in the 1150s.ð After the Treaty of Perth of 2 July 1266, Sodor remained within the Ni aróss church province whilst secular sovereignty 3 and patronage of the see had been transferred to the King of Scots. However, wider developments in the Christian world and the transfer of allegiance of Hebridean secular ðrulers from Norway to Scotland after 1266 would loosen Sodor’s ties to Ni aróss. This article examines the diocese of Sodor’s relationship with its metropolitan and the rather neglected area of its developing links with the papacy. It argues that the growing 1 A.I.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Cajsa Sandgren, Ms., Ecumenical Department, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 10/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • Diocesan Newsletter September 2019 Diocese of Argyll and the Isles
    Diocesan Newsletter September 2019 Diocese Eilean Fhianain of Argyll and The Isles You may have heard that a mediaeval bronze bell which is attributed (possibly anachronistically ) to Saint Finnan has been stolen from an island of the above name in Loch Shiel near Acharacle. The Island is of great historical interest because it contains a churchyard where the Roman Catholics of Moidart and the Presbyterian people from the Sunart side were traditionally buried. Slap bang in the middle is the ruins of a chapel which is dedicated to Saint Finnan and was latterly used as an Episcopal Church by Maighstir Alasdair, an Episcopal priest of the 17th century who was the father of the famous Jacobite poet Alasdair Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair. Maighstir Alasdair senior is alleged to have walked the 30 or so miles from Kilchoan fairly regularly to sail to the island to celebrate the Holy Mysteries . The island itself and the bell belong to a certain Colin Corlett who gave the bell in to the care of the Moidart Historical Group who, in order to secure it, attached the bell to a chain where it had sat unchained on the altar for many years.This presumably drew someone’s attention to the value of the object. There are numerous visits to the island both by canoeists and by the general public. The Bell is supposed to have a “buidcheas “ or Number 109 maledictory prayer on it which threatens death to anyone who removes it. It is alleged that the last person who stole the bell was a Hanoverian soldier who barely got to Glenfinnan with it before he dropped dead! Scottish Charity SC005375 UPDATE: Still no news on the bell’s whereabouts.

  • Argyll & Bute Council Strategic Policy Committee
    ARGYLL & BUTE COUNCIL STRATEGIC POLICY COMMITTEE CORPORATE AND LEGAL SERVICES 14 NOVEMBER 2002 ARCHIVIST ANNUAL REPORT INTRODUCTION The year 2001/02 saw yet further pressure on the cramped and inadequate conditions in which Argyll and Bute Council preserves its written heritage. Seriously congested and with limited staffing, the Archives office falls far short of the Standards that we would wish to provide. In the medium term there is hope for a new facility at the Clock Lodge or Kilmory Home Farm but in the short term there is little that can be done to relieve the current unsatisfactory conditions. There will be some additional storage available at Lochnell Street Election Office but the Department focus remains the relocation to bespoke premises. The Standards: The standard to which this Council should be aspiring is BS 5454:2000 Recommendations for the storage and exhibition of archival documents. Argyll and Bute Council should also be attempting to comply with the standard set by the Historical Manuscripts Commission, the HMC Standard for Record Repositories 2001, and striving to achieve ‘HMC recognition’ for its record repository. The Statutory Basis: The Local Government, Etc. (Scotland) Act 1994, particularly Section 53, placed upon Councils a duty to make “proper arrangements” – not closely defined – for the care and management of their records, with certain supervisory powers vested in the Keeper of the Records at the National Archives of Scotland. Councillors should be aware that the Freedom of Information Bill currently wending its way through the Scottish Parliament will, when enacted, impact upon how local authorities manage their record-keeping and may make the appointment of a records-manager a requirement rather than discretionary.
