RE Newsletter Edition 4 Diocese of York RE News Welcome to the fourth edition of RE News. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. We would love to hear about what is going on in your school and welcome any feedback about the newsletters. If you have any ideas for future editions of RE News or you would like your school to feature, please contact either Olivia Seymour [email protected] or Celia Roberts [email protected] Our Feature School Egton CE (VA) Primary School We are a small Voluntary Aided primary school high on the Moors near Whitby. We pride ourselves on being a ‘Family’ and having a close relationship between governors, staff, pupils, parents and the community. We have particularly strong links with our parish churches, St Hilda’s Egton and St. Matthew’s Grosmont. Our Vicar, the Reverend Christine Haddon-Reece, makes regular visits to the school and our children often contribute to services at both churches. Recently we made a beautiful Advent Bag with help from a Foundation Governor (and village resident), Carolyn Pittock. This bag contained Mary and Joseph figures, a Nativity Story and a note book to write in thoughts and prayers. During Advent, the bag spent one night in each of the homes of the children of our school, symbolising Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem. Families really engaged with the project and there were some wonderful comments written in the book. Mrs Pittock has also been helping us design and make our table cloths for Collective Worship. The cloths reflect our local area and the special times in the church year. We may be small with What’s inside? only 32 pupils but we are always up to something!

Over 400 children took part in the recent REthink days at Selby Abbey, St Augustine’s Church Hall, St Francis of Assisi Church and Parish Centre and also at St John’s Drypool Hull. The theme for the REthink days was ‘Light and Dark’, thinking in particular about Jesus being the light of the world. Here are some accounts from schools that took part. Carlton and Faceby CE (VA) Primary School During the RE Action day held by York Diocese the children were fully engaged in a range of exciting activities that all focussed upon the theme of light and dark. One highlight of the day for the Carlton and Faceby children was the team building exercise in which they had to cooperate with each other to make their group into shapes of lighthouses, candles. The children still months later are able to recite the passage from the Bible taken from John. A thoroughly worthwhile experience for the children. St Francis of Assisi CE (VA) Primary School Initially the children were very excited about the proposed activity day and it lived up to their expectations. Every child was actively involved in each session which led to a very busy, exciting and tiring day. The drumming and percussion session was very active and the children were enthused by it. The opportunity to use the large drums and different cultural percussion instruments as part of a larger group was challenging and rewarding. The children enjoyed the chimes and singing session, especially being able to alter the words to the songs to make them more personal – and relevant to their lives. The Art sessions allowed a quieter time for the children to reflect on their lives in relation to the objective of shining like stars for God. The children found the new experience in Godly play interesting. Exploring the Nativity in terms of a journey gave a different slant to the Christmas story and the opportunity to ask questions afterwards was much appreciated by all the children. The games sessions were excellent. The mix of physical activity and humour from the team won the children over and provided a very clear message which they were eager to hear. Overall the children had an enjoyable day with a wide range of different experiences and opportunities. It is definitely something which we would be interested to take part in again. Thornaby on Tees CE (VC) Primary School We arrived at St Francis Church and were warmly welcomed. We began the day with a fun activity involving a bible quote and balloons and we were soon word perfect on the quote from the Gospel according to St John. Then, all the children were dispersed to the various activities. Every activity focussed on RE and helped the children to think of others in a fun and interesting way. We played a variety of instruments and sang, we heard the Christmas story and drew pictures, we made hand prints and stars. We also played games to help us work together. Finally, all the groups came together for the final performance. It was TERRIFIC ! Many many thanks to all concerned. Secondary RE Focus Church Secondary Schools National RE Conference Making Religious Education Even Better 13/14th July 2010 University of Warwick, Coventry This is the first national conference for the Heads of Religious Education (RE) in Secondary Church of England Schools and Church of England Academies. Guest speakers include Andrew Wright, Professor of Religious and Theological Education at Kings College London and George Brooke, Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester. To register and for more information please visit the conference at https://register.livegroup.co.uk/event/RE Please note the conference is generously supported by St Gabriel's Trust. There is a minimal £25 per delegate fee to support the operating costs of the conference. Spiritual Development Focus St Martin’s CE (VA) Primary School, Fangfoss Prayer Day The children were buzzing with excitement about Pray Day. Everyone had been involved in writing a Prayer to go on their prayer person that they would send up on their balloon. Each class had looked at different ways and reasons to pray. Foundation had made prayer plates that were divided in four and pictures drawn to show prayers of thanks, love, sorry and help. KS1 made wax prayer flowers where they had written their prayer of thanks in the centre of the flower. The magic was that the children didn’t know what would happen to their flower when it was placed on water until the day! The children are still talking about how “brilliant” it was. Some have even gone home and made more at home. Lower KS2 made & decorated prayer beads looking at different ways of praying. Upper KS2 made prayer hands and wrote their own or chose a prayer from a given selection, that they felt expressed thanks, forgiveness, help and awe & wonder. There were some truly heartfelt prayers that showed some deep thinking. All this work culminated with our balloon launch. The sun shone, the wind was blowing a lot and the children took a moment to think about what was on their prayer person, then we had a count down and released our balloons. It was a spectacular sight and one I’m sure the children will remember for a long time.

  • ASPECTS of Tile MONASTIC PATRONAGE of Tile ENGLISH
    ASPECTS OF TIlE MONASTIC PATRONAGE OF TIlE ENGLISH AND FRENCH ROYAL HOUSES, c. 1130-1270 by Elizabeth M. Hallani VC i% % Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in History presented at the University of London. 1976. / •1 ii SUMMARY This study takes as its theme the relationship of the English and French kings and the religious orders, £.1130-1270, Patronage in general is a field relatively neglected in the rich literature on the monastic life, and royal patronage has never before been traced over a broad period for both France and England. The chief concern here is with royal favour shown towards the various orders of monks and friars, in the foundations and donations made by the kings. This is put in the context of monastic patronage set in a wider field, and of the charters and pensions which are part of its formaL expression. The monastic foundations and the general pattern of royal donations to different orders are discussed in some detail in the core of the work; the material is divided roughly according to the reigns of the kings. Evidence from chronicles and the physical remains of buildings is drawn upon as well as collections of charters and royal financial documents. The personalities and attitudes of the monarchs towards the religious hierarchy, the way in which monastic patronage reflects their political interests, and the contrasts between English and French patterns of patronage are all analysed, and the development of the royal monastic mausoleum in Western Europe is discussed as a special case of monastic patronage. A comparison is attempted of royal and non-royal foundations based on a statistical analysis.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • Medieval Cartularies of Great Britain: Amendments and Additions to the Dams Catalogue
    MEDIEVAL CARTULARIES OF GREAT BRITAIN: AMENDMENTS AND ADDITIONS TO THE DAMS CATALOGUE Introduction Dr God+ Davis' Medieval Cartulari4s of Great Britain: a Short Catalogue (Longmans, 1958) has proved to be an invaluable resource for medieval historians. However, it is nearly forty years since its publication, and inevitably it is no longer completely up-to-date. Since 1958 a number of cartularies have been published, either as full editions or in calendar form. Others have been moved to different repositories. Some of those cartularies which Davis described as lost have fortunately since been rediscovered, and a very few new ones have come to light since the publication of the original catalogue. This short list seeks to remedy some of these problems, providing a list of these changes. The distinction drawn in Davis between ecclesiastical and secular cartularies has been preserved and where possible Davis' order has also been kept. Each cartulary's reference number in Davis, where this exists, is also given. Those other monastic books which Davis describes as too numerous to include have not been mentioned, unless they had already appeared in the original catalogue. Where no cartulary exists, collections of charters of a monastic house edited after 1958 have been included. There will, of course, be developments of which I am unaware, and I would be most grateful for any additional information which could be made known in a subsequent issue of this Bulletin. For a current project relating to Scottish cartularies see Monastic Research Bulletin 1 (1995), p. 11. Much of the information here has been gathered hmpublished and typescript library and repository catalogues.

  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.

  • PRESS RELEASE Wentworth Church Music Festival 2013
    PRESS RELEASE Wentworth Church Music Festival 2013 The historic village of Wentworth is a tranquil rural oasis in South Yorkshire and is the focal centre of the Wentworth Estates which belong to the Fitzwilliam family. The impressive large church was built by the children of the 5th Earl Fitzwilliam in memory of their parents and its splendid acoustics provide an ideal setting for our music festival. We hope that all our music loving friends will join us in celebrating 15 years of our annual festival. This year is also special because we have almost raised the funds necessary to achieve the basic £40,000 costs for the restoration and maintenance of the magnificent Father Willis organ and our target may well be reached this year: this is the first time that major work has been undertaken since the consecration of the church in 1877. However, work will have to continue around the organ and additional costs are being incurred in restoring the fabric of the building in the area of the organ, such as the gable end. Wentworth Church was erected in memory of Charles William, 6th Earl Fitzwilliam, KG (1786 – 1857) and his wife, by their children. It was designed by J.L. Pearson, a protagonist in the 19th Century revival of Gothic Architecture, who also designed Truro Cathedral. It was consecrated on 31st July 1877, when the old church, Late Norman, ceased to be used for regular worship. It measures in excess of 120 feet in length and has a prominent spire rising to 200 feet. The acoustics of the church are highly acclaimed by professional artists who have performed and regularly record in the church.

  • The Selby Festival and Pink Floyd Live in Selby : All in 1969
    The Selby Festival and Pink Floyd live in Selby : all in 1969 A 6-month-long party marking a 900 year anniversary The Selby Festival 1969 From the perspective of the 21st century, the Selby Festival of 1969 seems to have been a magnificent attempt at municipal celebration. Whilst it ultimately failed financially, the self-confidence and belief of the organizing committee was tremendous. It is impossible to think that a town of similar size to Selby could ever plan to host a 6-month event of such diversity and quality. This article can only give a brief and fact-based account of the Festival. To have some idea of the optimism and spirit of the times, read the back copies of the weekly 'Selby Times' for 1969, available in Selby library. The festival was first discussed in the autumn of 66 with an organizing committee drawn from civic and religious organizations. It is difficult to credit now quite how important a role the church played in everyone's daily life, and the large membership of groups such as Scouts and Guides, and the way that these groups worked together with the schools and technical colleges to put events on ensured comprehensive 'community involvement' as it would be called today. The focus of the plans was to commemorate the 900th anniversary of the foundation of the original Selby Abbey by Benedict. It's also important to remember the status that Selby had in Yorkshire at the time. With an Abbey older than any other in Yorkshire and a vibrant local economy based on Cochrane's shipyard; British Oil and Cake Mills (BOCM); the sugar factory; John and E Sturge; and Rostron's paper as well as many other local industries, a station based on the East Coast Main Line and the infamous Toll Bridge : Selby was a prosperous and highly-regarded town.

  • A History of St. Augustine's Monastery, Canterbury
    H Distort of St Huaustine's Monastery Canterbury. BY The Reverend R. J. E. BOGGIS, B.D. Sub- Warden of St. A ugustinfs College. Canterbury : CROSS & JACKMAN, 1901. PREFACE. Churchman or the Antiquarian cannot but feel THEa pang of regret as he turns over the pages of such a work as Dugdale's Monasticon, and notes the former glories of the Religious Houses of England before the hand of the spoliator, had consigned them to desecration and ruin. Some of these homes of religion and learning have entirely disappeared, while others are represented by fragments of buildings that are fast crumbling to decay; and among these latter possibly even among the former would have been counted St. Augustine's, had it not been for the pious and public-spirited action of Mr. A. J. Beresford Hope, who in 1844 purchased part of the site of the ancient Abbey, and gave it back to the Church of England with its buildings restored and adapted for the require- ments of a Missionary College. The outburst of en- thusiasm that accompanied this happy consummation of the efforts of the Reverend Edward Coleridge is still remembered not a few devout Church by people ; and there are very many besides, who rejoice in the fresh lease of life that has thus been granted to the PREFACE. old Foundation, and are interested in the service that is now being here rendered to the English Church of modern times. Such persons may like to have the opportunity of tracing the varied fortunes of the St. Augustine's of former ages, and I have therefore en- deavoured to set forth a sketch of its history during the 940 years of its existence as a Religious House, till the day when the Crown took possession of the Church's property, and "St.

Royal Folio. 1796-1829. jLIAM FOWLER’S great work on Mosaic Pavements and Stained Glass deserves to be better known than appears to be the case. Lowndes describes it as consisting of two volumes, containing fifty-four plates, whereas, in a complete state, there should be four volumes and 114 separate engravings, two of which are dedications to Sir Joseph Banks, President of the Royal Society. In addition to this number 114, it is considered by some that three of the plates (Nos. 42, 61, and 83) should be counted as double, because they represent two subjects. I do not, however, think that this should be done, as they are not executed upon separate coppers; and I am, therefore, content to call the full number of plates 114, and not 117. These plates were issued separately from the first, and without order, and it was not until twenty-seven subjects had appeared that Fowler, on October 1, 1804, thought of gathering them into a volume, and dedicating them to Sir Joseph Banks, the distinguished President of the Royal Society, as we learn from Prospectus No.
