  • Matt's Missive
    Matt’s Missive April 2021 Iona Update By Barbara Duffield Friends, this year is flying by in some ways. It feels like I just said I was beginning my first class of my second year in IONA, and here we are approaching the end. It seems an appropriate time to offer a summary of where things are currently. First, for those who are unfamiliar with the journey I am on, I am what is called a postulant in study for Holy Orders to the Priesthood, in a diocesan program called Bi-Vocational Priesthood. I am a hospice chaplain and bereavement coordinator in my “regular” life. That will not change, but once I am ordained, God willing, I will be able to serve in situations requiring a priest, both in my life in the Diocese of West Texas and in my work life. I was sent to this opportunity by my St. Matthew’s family, and approved by Bishop David Reed and the diocesan Discernment Committee. I am offered the opportunity to practice skills such as preaching, pastoral care, and other duties; learning how it might be done as a priest as opposed to a lay person. Fr. Tim has been extremely generous with his time, helping me to find my bearings in this new role. Part of my training was to be completed at another parish but was not possible due to the Covid landscape. As the danger of Covid lessens, it may still occur. To this point, I have classes the first weekend in May and June, and then will have a break over the summer until early September.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION. THIS present volume, though bearing upon it the names of two bishops of English dioceses, Exeter and London, is rather secular than ecclesiastical in its character. As connected with the history of our Church and country it belongs to the first decade of the fourteenth century, 1300-1310, but it tells us little of what those prelates thought or did ; it is the account rendered by the executors of their wills of the wealth which they possessed, the sources from which it was derived, and the disposition which they made of it when they died. The two bishops are Thomas de Button, Bishop of Exeter, and Kichard de Gravesend, Bishop of London. How far they were contemporary in age does not appear. The Bishop of London was the senior Bishop, having been consecrated in 1280, the Bishop of Exeter in 1292. The Bishop of London held his see twenty-three years, dying in December, 1303. The Bishop of Exeter held his see only fifteen years, dying in 1307. The executors' account of Bishop Button had been already printed when the Council of the Camden Society consented to add to it the account of the executors of Bishop Gravesend, which otherwise would have occupied the first place in the volume. What is known of these bishops may be comprised in the fol- lowing brief memoirs:— The late Dean Milman, in his Annals of St. Paul's, has sketched the history of the time in which Richard de Gravesend lived, and drawn from his will, and the proceedings of his executors, some account of his character.

  • Bishop Robert 17 March 2020
    Received today from Bishop Robert address to Clergy and Churchwardens You will all have seen or heard yesterday’s announcements of the Government in relation to the Coronavirus pandemic. We are entering a very challenging time in the life our nation. This is unchartered territory for all of us and we need to stay in touch with one another and support one another to the best of our ability. I am conscious of the additional strain that will be placed upon you in the coming weeks, as you endeavour to care for your congregations and local communities. Thank you for all you are doing. Be assured of my prayers for you and your people. Attached to this email you will find the joint letter that the Archbishops of Canterbury and York have issued today. Public services are suspended, but this does not mean that ‘the Church of England has shut up shop’. In fact, it is precisely at this time of national crisis that as Christians we need to reach out to our neighbours in their need. Within the constraints set out by the Government, we need to find new ways of serving our communities, new ways of being Church. Our church buildings are one of the glories of Devon. Although we cannot hold public services for the time being, they need to remain open. Indeed, we anticipate that people will want to use them, to light a candle, to pray for loved ones. The Cathedral will be open without charge from 10am to 4pm every day. People are free to meet to pray inside our churches, provided they observe public health guidelines: https://www.churchofengland.org/more/media- centre/news/archbishops-call-church-england-become-radically- different-public-worship I know you have many questions about church life, funerals, baptisms, weddings, meetings and small groups.

  • Liturgy As History: the Origins of the Exeter Martyrology

A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication 1 Liturgy as History: The Origins of the Exeter Martyrology Sarah Hamilton, University of Exeter Abstract Through an Anglo-Norman case study, this article highlights the value of normative liturgical material for scholars interested in the role which saints’ cults played in the history and identity of religious communities. The records of Anglo-Saxon cults are largely the work of Anglo-Norman monks. Historians exploring why this was the case have therefore concentrated upon hagiographical texts about individual Anglo-Saxon saints composed in and for monastic communities in the post-Conquest period. This article shifts the focus away from the monastic to those secular clerical communities which did not commission specific accounts, and away from individual cults, to uncover the potential of historical martyrologies for showing how such secular communities remembered and understood their own past through the cult of saints. Exeter Cathedral Library, Ms 3518, is a copy of the martyrology by the ninth-century Frankish monk, Usuard of Saint-Germain-des-Prés , written in and for Exeter cathedral’s canons in the mid-twelfth century.

  • A Sermon Preached by Rt Revd Dr Michael Langrish at a United Benefice Eucharist for the Parishes of Ticehurst and Flimwell Trinity Sunday : 22 May 2016
    A Sermon preached by Rt Revd Dr Michael Langrish at a United Benefice Eucharist for the Parishes of Ticehurst and Flimwell Trinity Sunday : 22 May 2016 NOT STRANGERS BUT PILGRIMS TOGETHER ON THE WAY It really is good to be here with you for this United Benefice Visit today. I have looked forward to it for a very long time – almost a year in fact. It all began last June when I led a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, and was then asked to write a short piece about pilgrimage for the Diocesan News. That in turn led to me getting a letter from your then parish priest, Tim Mills, asking me to come here and talk about pilgrimage and journeying with you. ‘The whole theme of pilgrimage’ he wrote ‘is so relevant to us here in Flimwell and Ticehurst as we try to deepen our faith and stir up our gospel calling.’ The reality, of course, is that the theme of pilgrimage and journeying is relevant not just to your two parishes here, but to every parish in the Church of England, and indeed to every single Christian community worldwide. Because this sense of travelling, of moving forward, is absolutely central to the whole of the Christian life. It is to this that in our baptism we have been called. ‘I am the way,’ said Jesus ‘I am the truth and I am the life, follow me.’ And so the name given to the very first Christians was simply this: ‘Followers of the Way’ This whole idea of journeying, then - or more specifically – of making a pilgrimage has, for Christians, always been a very powerful one - one that seems to have captured people's minds in so many different times and places all the way down through the centuries.

  • A Little of the Wolf-Vein (1854)
    CHAPTER THIRTEEN A LITTLE OF THE WOLF-VEIN (1854) The year 1853 had been an especially difficult one. Church work, schools and lectures pressed heavily on Kingsley’s time. The last instalments of Hypatia were published in April in Fraser’s Magazine and the book version was seen through the press later that year. Illness among his parishioners required constant visiting. Then there were private worries. Fanny was laid up with a cold after a bad mis- carriage in September. She needed a change from the damp Eversley setting again, and the doctor advised her to spend the winter in the mild south-Devon climate. As the Froudes were living at Babbacombe at Torbay, they were asked to find lodgings. Fanny moved with the children to Torquay while Charles remained alone in Eversley to settle his affairs. Debts were growing daily and he bore the separa- tion from his family badly. His letters betray impatience with Fanny’s constant demands for money. He finally managed to follow them at the end of December, having obtained leave from the bishop to absent himself from his parish for six months, although it remained difficult and costly to find curates. Moreover, Fanny’s cures were expensive and often Kingsley had to travel back to Eversley during the weekends to attend to the Sunday services. Although the idea of settling in Devon was cheering, he left Eversley with a heavy heart. Prospects of advancement in his clerical career looked bleak, debts were pressing on him, and his idealistic plans for his parish would come to nothing now that he was leaving it for who knew how long.
