    JERUSALEM AND THE EAST MISSION GB165-0161 Reference code: GB165-0161 Title: Jerusalem and the East Mission Collection Name of creator: Jerusalem and the East Mission Dates of creation of material: 1827-2019 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 301 boxes Administrative History: JERUSALEM & THE EAST MISSION The Diocese of Jerusalem was founded in 1841 under the joint auspices of Queen Victoria and King Frederick William IV of Prussia. The bishops were to be nominated alternately by the English and Prussian sovereigns, to be consecrated by Anglican bishops and to have spiritual jurisdiction over Anglican and Lutheran Christians in Palestine. In 1881, however, a failure to obtain episcopal orders for the Lutherans prepared the way for the withdrawal of Prussia, and the bishopric fell into abeyance for almost six years. It was finally reconstituted on a purely Anglican basis and on 25 March 1887 the Venerable Archdeacon Blyth was consecrated Bishop in Jerusalem with jurisdiction over Syria, Egypt, Asia Minor, Cyprus, the region around the Red Sea, and, later, the Sudan and Iran. The Jerusalem Bishopric Fund, later the Jerusalem and East Mission Fund was set up by Bishop Blyth for the maintenance and development of the work of the diocese. In 1920 Egypt and the Sudan were separated from Jerusalem to form a new diocese with Llewellyn Gwynne as bishop. In 1939 the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Assyrian Mission came fully under the control of J&EM. The diocese of Jerusalem became the seat of a province in July 1957 and at the same time a new diocese of Jordan, Lebanon and Syria was created.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the moat advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You w ill find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    The Synagogue & Community Life, March 2003 Royalty and the Jews The Jewish community in the United Kingdom has always taken Rabbi Chanina’s dictum to pray for the welfare of the ruling powers (Ethics of the Fathers 3:2) very seriously. Siddurim (daily prayer books) and Machzorim (festival prayer books) published in England have printed the prayer for the salvation of the Monarch from at least the time of King George III who reigned from 1760 to 1820. Of particular interest are two items produced during the ten month reign of Edward VIII who abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson. Jewish items relating to him are extremely scarce.

  • 69 a Struggle Between Different Approaches As
    Article received in April 2016 and accepted for publication in April 2016 A STRUGGLE BETWEEN DIFFERENT APPROACHES AS RESPONSE TO THE ARAB REVOLT IN 1936 A DISPUTA ENTRE DUAS RESPOSTAS DIFERENTES À REVOLTA ÁRABE DE 1936 Ari Kerkkanen PhD The Tampere Peace Research Institute of the University of Tampere Tampere, Finland [email protected] Abstract The objective of this paper, based on archival research in London and Jerusalem, is to analyse the point of view of the civilian authority in the debate between conciliatory vs. coercive approaches during the Arab revolt in 1936. The research question, therefore, is why the civilian authority’s assessment of the situation was so different from the military’s to the extent that it polarized views of the most appropriate response to the revolt between the civilian and military authorities. The paper argues that the civilian authority had greater understanding of the situation in Palestine than the military, which led to advocating a conciliatory approach instead of a coercive one as favoured by the military. The deteriorating situation in Palestine is not to be interpreted as a failure of the civilian authority’s policy per se, but as the outcome of the situation with complex political and human factors aggravated by the fear of the Palestinian Arab population about their destiny. In the end, a reference to contemporary Middle East is made highlighting the relevance of Edward Azar’s protracted social conflict theory as it explains, in part, the root causes of the Revolt as well as contemporary upheavals in the Arab world. Keywords: Arab Revolt, Palestine Mandate, civil-military cooperation, Arthur Wauchope, Edward Azar.

Through a critical examination of British government papers the thesis argues that the moment of the British Mandate in Palestine signalled a new phase in the development of British imperialism constituting a rupture with the colonialist past and the advent of a new type of imperialist relationship. The encounter between this new-imperialism which developed from the end of the nineteenth century and a Palestinian society which was in the process of transformation between a predominantly pre-capitalist agricultural society into a commodity producing capitalist one engendered a conflictual environment dislocating the economic, social and political structures that existed.
