It states when, how and why the practice of retreat was adopted and adapted in the Church of England after having been a devotion in the Church of Rome since the time of the Catholic Reformation and how it has developed since. It is divided chronologically into three major sections. The first tells the story of its adoption in 1858 by a group of Anglo Catholics in the form of the preached retreat and its subsequent spread to a small number of adherents, despite meeting opposition from Evangelical Christians. The second tells of the influence of a Jesuit brother, Charles Plater, and how after the First World War a number of Diocesan retreat houses were opened, the use of which continued to rise until after the Second World War. The third takes the story up to our present day with its adaptation to the needs of the present search for faith, its decline accompanying the present loss in membership in the churches whilst at the same time its adoption in various forms by non-Anglican groups. In particular it contains a history of the Society of Retreat Conductors. All the time comparison is made with what was happening in the Church of Rome. There are resonances with the history of the Victorian church, the attitude of the established church to the working classes, evangelism, the changing fortunes of Anglo Catholicism, the ecumenical movement and New Age Christianity. It is of interest to all who are concerned about spread of religious faith today. Preface I acknowledge my indebtedness to Dr Chris Partridge who first saw the possibilities of the project, Dr Stephen Parker who was my supervisor for a year, Dr Andrew Dawson who first taught me what research was all about, to Dr Tom Greggs who has done much more than a second supervisor should ever do, and Dr Wayne Morris who has been a very encouraging first supervisor and who has seen my work through to completion. Also I thank my readers who have commented on the work as it has progressed and especially Richard Thorneycroft who has been an assiduous proof reader and has made some very pertinent remarks. I am indebted to many people, some of whom are mentioned in the text, who have shared with me the fruit of their rich experience. My thanks are due to the University of Chester who have given a grant to meet the fees for this research, to the Society of Retreat Conductors who made a contribution to the inevitable additional costs, to the Gladstone Library for many hours enjoying the facilities and to the British Library whose staff work hard in support of academic research. My thanks are due to the Revd Alan Pyke whose interest kept the project going through a serious down-patch in health. Above all to my wife, Ruth, who has been critically supportive throughout the whole eight year project and who has helped me through a period of illness when I felt like not completing it.

Introducing the Thesis In this thesis I attempt to answer this question: ‘When, how and why have some members of the Church of England adopted and adapted the Catholic Reformation practice of retreat?’ Coupled with this is a working hypothesis which has shaped both the selection of evidence and the form in which the thesis has been written up. It is this: ‘Developments in the Anglican practice of retreat have usually been stimulated by new initiatives in the use of the Spiritual Exercises within the Roman Catholic Church.’ Archbishop Rowan Williams began the 2008 Lambeth Conference with a three-day long retreat held in the solemn splendour of Canterbury Cathedral. The assembled bishops were brought by buses each day to listen to thoughtful addresses by him and to spend the rest of the time in silent meditation on what he had said. The Archbishop was using a form of devotion which had been introduced into the Church of England exactly 150 years earlier by Revd Richard Benson, and it is now a familiar part of the Anglican way of life.

Irish Times - A judge in Belfast has granted leave to seek a judicial review amid claims the current near-blanket ban on terminations is a violation of human rights. [email protected] Page !1 February 2 “This case raises issues of considerable public importance which require to be examined at a substantive hearing,” Mr Justice Treacy said. The commission issued proceedings against the Department of Justice as part of an attempt to secure a change in the law to allow abortion in cases of rape, incest or serious foetal malformation. Terminations are currently only legal in Northern Ireland to protect the woman’s life or where there is a risk of permanent and serious damage to her mental or physical health. The court battle comes as Minister for Justice David Ford continues a public consultation on amending the criminal law on abortion in Northern Ireland. It includes a recommendation for proposed legislation allowing an abortion in circumstances where there is no prospect of the foetus being delivered and having a viable life. But according to counsel for the commission the consultation does not commit to making the changes it believes are necessary.

  • Pusey's Eucharistic Theology After the Sermon of 1843
    118 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Pusey’s Eucharistic Theology after the Sermon of 1843 4.1 Introduction Pusey’s biographer, Henry Parry Liddon, describes the sermon of 1843, The Holy Eucharist: a Comfort to the Penitent as ‘the most important sermon of Pusey’s life’.1 The effort Pusey expended in the sermon and the reaction to it affected him greatly. His subsequent two year prohibition from preaching before the University of Oxford was a source of great pain to Pusey and may go some of the way to explaining why he did not write another major piece on the Eucha- rist until 1851, some eight years later, and why he did not preach on this subject again until 1853. Pusey’s first major statement on the Eucharist after the sermon of 1843 took the form of a letter to the Bishop of London, Bishop Blomfield, which was pub- lished in 1851.2 Pusey believed this letter was necessary since the Bishop in his Charge3 to the clergy of the Diocese of London in 1850 had made certain comments on eucharistic doctrine which Pusey saw as applying to him. Pusey states in a ‘Notice’4 placed before the letter that he believed that The Rev. Wil- liam Dodsworth5 had not only misunderstood his teachings on several mat- ters, including the Eucharist, suggesting a different sense to what Pusey had actually taught, but that in so doing he had unduly influenced the views of Bishop Blomfield as expressed in his Charge. Dodsworth had published a pub- lic letter6 to Pusey objecting to a perceived lack of strength in Pusey’s posi- tion on the crisis concerning baptismal regeneration in the Church of England.7 In addition Dodsworth made the claim that Pusey was ‘teaching the propitiatory sacrifice of the Holy Eucharist, as applicatory of the one sacri- fice of the cross, and by adoration of Christ really Present on the altar under 1 Liddon, Life of Pusey, II, p.

  • This Chapter Will Demonstrate How Anglo-Catholicism Sought to Deploy
    Building community: Anglo-Catholicism and social action Jeremy Morris Some years ago the Guardian reporter Stuart Jeffries spent a day with a Salvation Army couple on the Meadows estate in Nottingham. When he asked them why they had gone there, he got what to him was obviously a baffling reply: “It's called incarnational living. It's from John chapter 1. You know that bit about 'Jesus came among us.' It's all about living in the community rather than descending on it to preach.”1 It is telling that the phrase ‘incarnational living’ had to be explained, but there is all the same something a little disconcerting in hearing from the mouth of a Salvation Army officer an argument that you would normally expect to hear from the Catholic wing of Anglicanism. William Booth would surely have been a little disconcerted by that rider ‘rather than descending on it to preach’, because the early history and missiology of the Salvation Army, in its marching into working class areas and its street preaching, was precisely about cultural invasion, expressed in language of challenge, purification, conversion, and ‘saving souls’, and not characteristically in the language of incarnationalism. Yet it goes to show that the Army has not been immune to the broader history of Christian theology in this country, and that it too has been influenced by that current of ideas which first emerged clearly in the middle of the nineteenth century, and which has come to be called the Anglican tradition of social witness. My aim in this essay is to say something of the origins of this movement, and of its continuing relevance today, by offering a historical re-description of its origins, 1 attending particularly to some of its earliest and most influential advocates, including the theologians F.D.

It is to be doubted whether any parish has, in its present possession, the complete record of its history and activity since its inception. Carelessness and fire seem to be the destroying elements, whereby documents of intrinsic worth, particularly valuable to a compiler of such a work as this, have been lost forever. From the foundation of this parish in 1816 down to the year 1831, no information, other than meagre generalities, is obtain­ able. The vestry minutes and church records were in the pos­ session of the Rev. Edward K. Fowler, and were destroyed when the old Mansion House was burned. In fact no church records back of 1870 are now in existence, lost probably in the same fire. However, the gap has been imperfectly bridged by refer­ ences to family records, old scrap books, clippings, and Quinlan's "History ofSullivan Co~tnty." I am particularly indebted to Major John Waller, whose keen memory at the age of 90 has enabled me to clear away many doubts regarding the past, and to present to the parish this ac­ count of its history.

THOMAS’S CHURCH, BEDFORD CENTENARY OCTOBER 12th, 1940 A SHORT HISTORY OF THE CHURCH AND PARISH “Lord, I have loved the habitation of Thy house : and the place where Thine honour dwelleth,” – Psalm xxvi, 8 COMPILED BY The Rev. G. WILLETT, M.A. VICAR OF BEDFORD THE LORD BISHOP OF MANCHESTER THE RIGHT REV, GUY WARMAN, D.D. Foreword N November, 1922, the late Vicar wrote in the Parish Sheet of his intention, if possible, of writing a short history of Bedford Parish. Mr. Lawton was then in his 67th year, and this fact, I added to the charge of a large parish, prevented him from carrying out his wishes. The duty has fallen on his successor, the present Vicar, who has done his best at what has been a difficult but very happy task. The old Parish Sheets, written by the late Vicar, and dating back to 1894, have been a mine of information, and in addition, I have been fortunate in having easy access to the old Deeds of the Parish, the old Registers, old Minute Books, and other similar sources. I should like to express my thanks to the following: - To the Lord Bishop of Manchester for his encouraging message in this book. To Mr. Arthur Mee for permission to include his description of Bedford Church from his book entitled “Lancashire,” and to the Publishers, Messrs.
