Late Submission: Chapter of Canterbury Cathedral ...................................................................................... 63 1 1. The Right Revd Revd Dr John Inge (42 – Bishop of Worcester) Bishop to appoint one non-executive member who shall be Vice Chair (Schedule 1.3.3. and 1.5) I agree with the Dean and Chapter of Worcester in welcoming the proposal that the Bishop should appoint one non-executive member since it is an appropriate way for the Bishop to help shape the composition of the Chapter. I do not think, however, think that that person should ex officio be Vice Chair. I believe that the role of Vice Chair should, rather, be one that each Chapter has the power to create and define, or not, within the Constitution and Statutes of each Cathedral, and that the Chapter should make that appointment. I might add that, whether or not the bishop should appoint a vice-chair, the legislation as proposed would give me much less influence over appointments to Chapter since at present I appoint all non-executive members. I am content with this. Election of members of the Cathedral community to the Chapter (Schedule 1.3.2) I share the concern of the Dean and Chapter of Worcester that the Cathedral community is nowhere defined and that the phrasing of the Draft Measure will encourage an irresistible expectation on the part of the congregation to elect ‘their’ representative to the Chapter. This would, as the Chapter asserts, cut across the requirement to provide a balance and variety of skills, backgrounds and experience among the non-executive members. I agree that to say that the Chapter may ensure that a proportion of non-executive members be ‘drawn from the Cathedral community’ would be more realistic and helpful rather than ‘elected by and from’ the Cathedral community. Bishop’s attendance at Chapter (Measure 7.6 and 9.2) I agree with the Dean and Chapter of Worcester that the Bishop should not be entitled to attend all or any Chapter meeting, or that the onus should be on a majority of the Chapter to exclude the Bishop from any particular item. I believe that this provision could compromise the visitatorial role of the Bishop. The Bishop, rather, should be entitled to attend once in the year. I further agree that there should be a meeting of the Bishop and the members of the Chapter at least once in the year when (a) the Chapter consult the Bishop on the general direction and mission of the Cathedral and (b) the Bishop may seek the advice of the Chapter on any particular matter. Bishop’s power to commission a review (Measure 7.7-9) I share the concern that Bishops could resort to this too easily and too readily, as a way of dealing with any difficulty that arises. I therefore echo the request that the Measure should make clear who is to bear the cost of any review; the word ‘co-operate’ is very vague. A crucial issue, as the Dean and Chapter of Worcester have asserted, is whether the Measure will bind the Chapter to follow any recommendations or directions made in a review. I agree that binding directions should only be made by the Bishop in the context of a formal visitation. 2 2. The Very Revd David Ison (54 – Dean of St Paul’s) In common with many others I want to pay tribute to the work of the Cathedrals Working Group, the Third Estates Commissioner and the Legal team at Church House in producing what overall is a very helpful Draft Measure. My comments are intended to strengthen it and shape it for the future, in the light of comments and responses of others as well as myself. The deans as a group have had a range of responses, but over the last year have been coming to much of a common mind; and the submission from AEC/CAFA is generally in line with that thinking. I am making this submission to the Revision Committee as an individual, but informed by discussions among the deans, AEC/CAFA discussion, papers and submission, and my experience of three very different cathedrals over the last 24 years. I have some general points for the Committee’s consideration, before moving on to specific comments and suggestions. 1. The point about the need for flexibility has been made in the Synod debates and in the CWG Report; having had the experience of serving on three different Chapters I want to re-emphasise this strongly as it lies behind many of the suggestions below, which relate to my own and to others’ experience. Having the minimum necessary legislation in the Measure itself, and being alert to the different circumstances of cathedrals as you do your work of revision, will be very helpful for our successors. 2. Three ‘hot button issues’ which have been prominent – the roles of the vice-chair, of the bishop and of residentiary canons – are closely connected, all revolving around the question of accountability. Getting the balance of accountability as good as possible in relation to these three roles is at the heart of the

  • Westminster Abbey 2013 Report to the Visitor Her Majesty the Queen
    Westminster Abbey 2013 Report To The Visitor Her Majesty The Queen Your Majesty, The Dean and Chapter of the Collegiate Church of St Peter in Westminster, under the Charter of Queen Elizabeth I on 21st May 1560 and the Statutes graciously granted us by Your Majesty in a Supplemental Charter on 16th February 2012, is obliged to present an Annual Report to Your Majesty as our Visitor. It is our privilege, as well as our duty, now to present the Dean and Chapter’s Annual Report for the Year of Grace 2013. From time to time, the amount of information and the manner in which it is presented has changed. This year we present the report with more information than in recent years about the wide range of expertise on which the Dean and Chapter is able to draw from volunteers sitting on statutory and non-statutory advisory bodies. We also present more information about our senior staff under the Receiver General and Chapter Clerk who together ensure that the Abbey is managed efficiently and effectively. We believe that the account of the Abbey’s activities in the year 2013 is of wide interest. So we have presented this report in a format which we hope not only the Abbey community of staff, volunteers and regular worshippers but also the wider international public who know and love the Abbey will find attractive. It is our daily prayer and our earnest intention that we shall continue faithfully to fulfil the Abbey’s Mission: — To serve Almighty God as a ‘school of the Lord’s service’ by offering divine worship daily and publicly; — To serve the Sovereign by daily prayer and by a ready response to requests made by or on behalf of Her Majesty; — To serve the nation by fostering the place of true religion within national life, maintaining a close relationship with members of the House of Commons and House of Lords and with others in representative positions; — To serve pilgrims and all other visitors and to maintain a tradition of hospitality.

  • Of St Cuthbert'
    A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham by Ruth Robson of St Cuthbert' 1. Market Place Welcome to A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham, part of Durham Book Festival, produced by New Writing North, the regional writing development agency for the North of England. Durham Book Festival was established in the 1980s and is one of the country’s first literary festivals. The County and City of Durham have been much written about, being the birthplace, residence, and inspiration for many writers of both fact, fiction, and poetry. Before we delve into stories of scribes, poets, academia, prize-winning authors, political discourse, and folklore passed down through generations, we need to know why the city is here. Durham is a place steeped in history, with evidence of a pre-Roman settlement on the edge of the city at Maiden Castle. Its origins as we know it today start with the arrival of the community of St Cuthbert in the year 995 and the building of the white church at the top of the hill in the centre of the city. This Anglo-Saxon structure was a precursor to today’s cathedral, built by the Normans after the 1066 invasion. It houses both the shrine of St Cuthbert and the tomb of the Venerable Bede, and forms the Durham UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Durham Castle and other buildings, and their setting. The early civic history of Durham is tied to the role of its Bishops, known as the Prince Bishops. The Bishopric of Durham held unique powers in England, as this quote from the steward of Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durham from 1284-1311, illustrates: ‘There are two kings in England, namely the Lord King of England, wearing a crown in sign of his regality and the Lord Bishop of Durham wearing a mitre in place of a crown, in sign of his regality in the diocese of Durham.’ The area from the River Tees south of Durham to the River Tweed, which for the most part forms the border between England and Scotland, was semi-independent of England for centuries, ruled in part by the Bishop of Durham and in part by the Earl of Northumberland.

  • The Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors at the Heart of Durham: City, County and Region
    The Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors at the heart of Durham: City, County and Region Address: Professor Stuart Corbridge Vice-Chancellor University of Durham Sunday 22 November 2020 3.30 p.m. VOLUMUS PRÆTEREA UT EXEQUIÆ SINGULIS ANNIS PERPETUIS TEMPORIBUS IN ECCLESIA DUNELMENSI, CONVOCATIS AD EAS DECANO OMNIBUS CANONICIS ET CÆTERIS MINISTRIS SCHOLARIBUS ET PAUPERIBUS, PRO ANIMABUS CHARISSIMORUM PROGENITORUM NOSTRORUM ET OMNIUM ANTIQUI CŒNOBII DUNELMENSIS FUNDATORUM ET BENEFACTORUM, VICESIMO SEPTIMO DIE JANUARII CUM MISSÂ IN CRASTINO SOLENNITER CELEBRENTUR. Moreover it is our will that each year for all time in the cathedral church of Durham on the twenty-seventh day of January, solemn rites of the dead shall be held, together with mass on the following day, for the souls of our dearest ancestors and of all the founders and benefactors of the ancient convent of Durham, to which shall be summoned the dean, all the canons, and the rest of the ministers, scholars and poor men. Cap. 34 of Queen Mary’s Statutes of Durham Cathedral, 1554 Translated by Canon Dr David Hunt, March 2014 2 Welcome Welcome to the annual commemoration of Founders and Benefactors. This service gives us an opportunity to celebrate those whose generosity in the past has enriched the lives of Durham’s great institutions today and to look forward to a future that is full of opportunity. On 27 January 1914, the then Dean, Herbert Hensley Henson, revived the Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors. It had been written into the Cathedral Statutes of 1554 but for whatever reason had not been observed for centuries.

  • Early Nineteenth-Century Women Interpret Scripture in New Ways for New Times
    Reading with our Foresisters: Aguilar, King, McAuley and Schimmelpenninck— Early Nineteenth-Century Women Interpret Scripture in New Ways for New Times by Elizabeth Mary Davis A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Regis College and the Graduate Centre for Theological Studies of the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology awarded by Regis College and the University of Toronto. © Copyright by Elizabeth Mary Davis 2019 Reading with our Foresisters: Aguilar, King, McAuley and Schimmelpenninck— Early Nineteenth-Century Women Interpret Scripture in New Ways for New Times Elizabeth Mary Davis Doctor of Theology Regis College and The University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Biblical hermeneutics today is marked by increased attention to women’s experience and voices in interpretation, the illustration of alternatives to the historical-critical approach to create a plurality of interpretation as the interpretive norm, exploration of the social location of earlier interpreters, determination of authority for biblical interpretation, and expansion of hermeneutics to include praxis (a manifestation of embodied or lived theology). This thesis shows that these elements are not completely new, but they are actually embedded in scriptural interpretation from two hundred years ago. The exploration of the biblical interpretation of four women—Grace Aguilar, Frances Elizabeth King, Catherine McAuley and Mary Anne Schimmelpenninck—who lived at the same time in the early nineteenth century in the same geographic region and who represent the spectrum of readers of the Bible, concludes that the interpretive works of these four women were prototypical of and anticipated these elements. ii To guide this exploration, the thesis appropriates the construct of the hermeneutic triangle, examining the social location of the four women, their texts about the Bible and the hermeneutic by which they interpreted the biblical texts.

  • Westminster Abbey
    Westminster Abbey A SERVICE OF CELEBRATION TO MARK THE 400 TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE Wednesday 16 th November 2011 Noon THE KING JAMES BIBLE AND TRUST ‘The Authorized Version provides a unique link between nations. It is a precious inheritance, worth every effort to preserve and to honour.’ His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, Patron, King James Bible Trust The King James Bible Trust was established in 2007 to mark the King James Bible’s 400 th anniversary this year. Aptly described by Melvyn Bragg as ‘the DNA of the English language’, the King James Bible went with Britain’s emigrants as her colonies and trading networks became an Empire, so that now its coinages and cadences are heard wherever and however English is spoken. One glorious example: Dr Martin Luther King used its version of Isaiah chapter 40 verses 4–5 in his supreme speech: ‘I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low…’ This global importance has been reflected around the world over the past year. In the United States and in many Commonwealth countries there have been major symposia and conferences, with outstanding exhibitions featuring original 1611 Bibles. Church communities everywhere have celebrated the King James Bible with reading marathons, artistic displays, lectures, and commemorative services. For its own part the Trust has both tried to give as much publicity as possible to all this effort through its website, and itself instigated a press and publicity campaign. It has helped promote major lectures at Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle.
