  • "The Church in Wales," the Churchman (Os)
    33 2 The Ohurcli in Wales. It is also recorded of Butler that when very nigh to the close of his life, a closeness measured by minutes rather than by hours, the dying Prelate remarked to his friend and chaplain, Dr. Foster, then kneeling at the side of his bed, " that he found it a very awful thing-a very awful thing-to appear before the august Governor of the World." His friend-and Bishop Butler was never without a friend-his friend reminded him of that "Blood which cleanseth from all sin." A pause then seems to have ensued, when the dying Bishop,-Butler, the learned, the modest, the devout, the pure, the earnest, the seeker after truth, with faltering, failing lips replied, " Oh this is comfortable," and with these words the spirit of the Bishop escaped to Him who gave it. Yes-" The blood of Christ cleanseth from all sin." " The Spirit beareth witness with our spirit that we are the sons of God." " Oh death, where then is thy sting ?-Oh grave, where is thy victory ?" l c. PRITCHARD . .ART. II.-THE CHURCH IN WALES. N the remarks I made on the Welsh Church in the December I Number of the CHURCHMAN, I called special attention to the religious revival of last century in the Principality. That re­ vival commenced in the Church of England, but it terminated in a large secession of the Welsh people from her communion. The movement, through the force of circumstances, and under the current of events, had been drifting for years in that direc­ tion ; but the secession was not finally consummated until the year 1811, when the Calvinistic Methodists set apart a certain number of their lay preachers for the ministration of the Sacra­ ments in the Connexion.

  • Reading Wales in WG Sebald's Austerlitz
    On (Not) Reading Wales in W. G. Sebald’s Austerlitz (2001) Mererid Puw Davies, University College London This article explores representations of Wales in W. G. Sebald’s novel Austerlitz (2001). It considers why the novel’s passages on Wales have often evaded scholarship on Sebald’s writing to date, and ways in which Austerlitz may seem eccentric to Welsh critical canons too. The article places Austerlitz in intertextual relationships with the literatures and cultural history of Wales and so uncovers some of the novel’s hidden Welsh references. In alluding to Evan Morgan, 2nd Viscount Tredegar for example, Austerlitz simultaneously turns away from Welsh history and reveals it in unexpected ways. The novella also calls to mind the nineteenth- century preacher John Elias in a way which offers an unusual perspective on Sebald’s poetics of coincidence. The article suggests alternative critical contexts in which Sebald’s Wales becomes productively legible; put most globally, it is interested in the practice and rewards of non-metropolitan reading, relationships between the supposed centres and margins of literature and the ways in which they remain in perpetual (re-)negotiation. Keywords: Sebald, Austerlitz, Wales, Welsh, Gothic, Evan Morgan, John Elias, intertextuality, birds, names, uncanny, coincidence, reservoirs, non-metropolitan, Tryweryn, Vyrnwy 1 Introduction The last of W. G. Sebald’s (1944–2001) major works to be published during his lifetime was the long literary prose work Austerlitz (2001), in which a first-person narrator reports what the eponymous protagonist tells him of his life, in conversations spanning decades.1 Jacques Austerlitz came to Britain from Nazi-occupied Prague on a Kindertransport in 1939, aged four- and-a-half.

In his prelim- inary remarks he made this comment: “I have a suspi- cion that many of you feel that the phenomenon by which you are con- A 1 fronted is that of a poacher turned gamekeeper!” Such an opening statement could give the impression that Lloyd-Jones had entertained doubts concerning the necessity of theological education for those preparing to be preachers and pastors.2 As we shall argue it was not so much the need that he had questioned as the kind of education that was on offer. He himself had been ordained into the Presbyterian Church of Wales (The Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church) ministry without any formal theological education. The denomination had arisen out of the evangelical awakening of the eighteenth century with the ministries of such giants as Daniel Rowland, Howell Harris, William Williams Pantycelyn and blessed with second-generation men of the calibre of Thomas Charles and John Elias. Most of the early Calvinistic Methodist exhorters and preachers had no theological college training but were self-taught, being steeped in the Scriptures, widely read and full of the Holy Spirit. During the nineteenth century the denomination set up its own theological training programme with colleges in North and South eusebeia > spring 2007 83 martyn lloyd-jones and theological education Wales. Though he was interviewed as a prospective student by the principal of the Aberystwyth theological college, Lloyd-Jones was convinced that such training was not the right way forward for him.3 He studied Greek on his own and received some pastoral help from respected senior ministers while at his first charge in Sandfields, Port Talbot, South Wales.

  • Spiritual Landscape of Anglesey
    SPIRITUAL LANDSCAPE OF ANGLESEY By Patrick Sheridan Dr. Reiter Early English Landscapes 2 June 2016 Sheridan 1 The isle of Anglesey, or Ynys Môn, is located in the northwestern corner of Wales. Throughout its history, the spiritual realm has made a major impact on its landscape. The earliest inhabitants of the island valued spirituality as central to their lives, as shown by the great monuments they built to their ancestors. Later generations honored nature but left little traces on the landscape that remain today. In time, a new religion, Christianity, arrived and brought with it new ways of worship requiring new places to do so in. Christianity would survive through Viking raids, English invasion, English Reformation, and social unrest, all of which would impact the landscape. The contemporary landscape of Anglesey is a result of all of these factors which have shaped the island’s history, and the spiritual element is still an essential part of it. The first people to inhabit Anglesey came to the island circa 7000 BCE. Before that time, during the Paleolithic era, Anglesey had been covered by a large ice sheet, creating Pre- Cambrian rock outcroppings among the oldest in Britain. Until the 4th millennium BCE, Anglesey was connected to mainland Wales by a land bridge until rising sea levels filled in, creating the modern-day Menai Straits.1 It was also around this time, during the Neolithic era, that a major change in social organization occurred. Agriculture was established, including the domestication of animals. Accompanying this so-called “Revolution”—and more pertinent to the topic of this paper—was the development of religious beliefs.

  • New Rhb Title
    NEW RHB TITLE Developing a Healthy Prayer Life: 31 Meditations on Communing with God James W. Beeke and Joel R. Beeke Foreword by Geoff Thomas DESCRIPTION Is your prayer life characterized by such things as sincerity, urgency, and delight? Engagement in prayer is a vital part of our communion with God, making a profound impact on our growth in grace. In this book, you will find thoughtful meditations on prayer in the life of the believer, as well as ample encouragement to cultivate this spiritual discipline in your own life. If you want to be more devoted to prayer, or simply want to assess the health of your prayer life, read this book. It provides both a helpful examination and a needed tonic for those concerned about grow- ing in godliness. ENDORSEMENTS “The ancient formula, ‘the law of praying is the law of believing’ (lex orandi, lex credendi), or, using other words, the way we pray determines what we believe, expresses an important but forgotten truth. To this adage we would add ‘the law of living’ (lex vivendi), that is, the way we pray determines the way we live. The strength of Developing a Healthy Prayer Life is that its 31 studies treat prayer not as an aspect of the Christian life, but as the Christian life itself. The Christian life is a life of humble, submissive, patient, persevering, trusting, thanking, wrestling, waiting, working, reverent, fervent, constant, dependent, contented, and thought- ful praying and living. As we pray, so we live, and as we live, so we pray. We have needed a book that comprehensively, yet simply, teaches us to Paperback, 112 pages pray, not by techniques (though some how-to’s are helpful), but by uniting Page Size: 5 x 7.5 inches prayer in the presence of God with life in the presence of God; that shows ISBN 978-1-60178-112-3 us how dependent and reverent living arises out of dependent and rever- Retail Price: $10.00 ent praying.

A selection of printed books from a particularly extensive collection of material relating to folk-lore (Dept of Printed Books). The testator, whose volume The Lakes of Wales, published in 1931, is now difficult to obtain, was at one time a regular visitor to the Readers Room and this bequest is a reflection of his esteem for the Library. Apart from a number of books entirely devoted to folk-lore there are also several local histories, long since out of print, which contain much pertinent material for the folklorist. Most of the collection has considerably enriched the Duplicates Section, more especially because they were originally issued in very small editions and copies are now almost impossible to acquire.
