  • The Report of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission
    THE REPORT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY’S COMMISSION ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS TO THE WIDER CHURCH OF ENGLAND 30 September 2019 Letter from the Chair of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Commission on the relationship of the Channel Islands to the wider Church of England, the Right Revd & Rt Hon the Lord Chartres, GCVO PC Dear Archbishop, At the beginning of the work of the Commission you insisted that we should not seek to pass judgement on the unhappy sequence of events which precipitated the breakdown of relations between the Diocese of Winchester and the Deaneries of Guernsey and Jersey. Rather we were to focus on the possibility and shape of a future relationship conducive to the mutual flourishing of the Church in the Islands and the wider Church of England. We were charged to consult with the ecclesiastical and secular authorities in the Islands, with the Bishop of Winchester, his staff and other interested parties. This we have endeavoured to do. In the Report which follows we have proposed a way forward which, I believe, honours the polity of the Church of England and in particular the enhanced level of accountability of its bishops in the light of recent legislation but which also recognises and respects the traditions, both legal and ecclesiastical, which obtain in the Channel Islands. Our recommendations for action are attached. I have been very fortunate to be joined in this Commission by Baroness Judith Wilcox and Sir Christopher Clarke. After a distinguished business and political career, Baroness Wilcox has been able to offer a shrewd analysis of the context for our work while Sir Christopher Clarke with his extensive experience as a former Judge of the Courts of Appeal in Guernsey and Jersey, and Lord Justice of Appeal, has contributed an invaluable legal perspective.

  • August 2016 England Info Sheet
    Dear Friend, Once again we set out on pilgrimage, this time to a land many of us will feel comfortable in: Merrie England. And there will be a certain “merriment” in this journey, for we will travel with joyful companions, our friends from England, Leonie and Tessa Caldecott (the widow and daughter of the late Stratford Caldecott, one of the great Catholic editors and writers of the past half century), in the footsteps of the great English saints: St. Thomas a Becket, St. Thomas More, St. John Fisher, St. Edmund Campion, Blessed John Henry Newman, and the writers known as the “Inklings,” J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S.Lewis and the incomparable G.K.Chesterton. With such companions, our days will be merry, and our mornings and evenings bathed in the gentle light of a British summertime. We will begin at Oxford, the ancient university which will be our home for several days. We will get to know the colleges of Oxford, its great library, its pathways and byways, its churches and, yes, its pubs, where Tolkien and C.S. Lewis sometimes dined together. The days will include a steady diet of reflection, in the presentations of some of England’s most thoughtful Catholics of our time, as they instruct us on the history of the Church in England, the life and times of Thomas More and John Fisher, of William Shakespeare, and on down to more recent times. Day by day we will study, and learn, and come to understand what the faith has meant to the British, how it shaped their hearts and minds, how it passed through persecution and apostasy, and how it is being lived today in the very places where it was lived by these great saints and writers.

If so, WHY? Everything was now in place and the process of arriving at a final design for the new church was well underway from 1956 with the first stone being laid at the very end of 1958 and this will soon be described. Maguire and Murray were now on the map of architectural practice and there was growing interest in what they were up to. Bob Maguire describes an early exercise in ‘going back to basics’: 26 ‘In 1958, Keith Murray and I put on a sort of double-act audio-visual show at a Theological Conference at Swanwick using almost entirely every day, secular images to sketch out, as it were by tangential lines, the idea of set-apart space as a deep need of the human psyche.

  • The BBLHS Companion to Horsburgh's Bromley
    The BBLHS Companion to Horsburgh’s Bromley Being a transcription of notes added by William Baxter to Bromley From the earliest timest to the present century by E.L.S. Horsburgh published in 1929 with copies of the added pictures and drawings together with some additional information and explanation. ©Bromley Borough Local History Society 2017 Horsburgh’s Bromley Companion Introduction When Edward Horsburgh completed Bromley from the earliest times to the present century in 1929, it represented the culmination of many years work by a number of people. It was also rather late, having been intended to record the town’s history up to around 1900 and be published soon after! However, apart from the delay caused by the Great War, it is perhaps not surprising that being the result of work by a committee of local worthies, agreement on what should be included or excluded caused some dissension. Without the modern benefits of word processing, it was also more difficult to review and amend any text and it appears that the decision to publish was to an extent one of “now or never”. Following publication, one committee member at least, William Baxter, took some exception to the accuracy and range of the contents to the extent that he started making amendments and additions to the published text. These changes grew to such a point that he eventually dismembered a copy of the book, inserted his changes and had it rebound in two volumes. At the end of this Companion will be found a critique of the original book, which is well worth reading, as it points out Baxter’s somewhat ambivalent involvement and the books limitations which, sadly have not yet been rectified, in the topics covered and the way what was done was less than ideal.

  • The List Below Contains the 903 Records Referred to in GS2161, Along with 11 Records from the Diocese in Europe
    Question 91 Revd Charlie Skrine (London) The list below contains the 903 records referred to in GS2161, along with 11 records from the Diocese in Europe. The list has been produced in response to Synod question 102 Skrine: “Thank you for publishing last year the names of the 680 churches with 25 or more under 16s, and for the excellent GS2161 for this Synod. Noting that the data in GS2161 is based upon an updated list of 903 parishes, would you please publish (on the website and the noticeboard) the names of those 903 parishes (perhaps alphabetically within each of the three different attendance bands as before)?” This list is based on the Statistics for Mission 2018 dataset; those interested in using the list are encouraged to read the published methodology, which can be found in the Statistics for Mission report (pp. 43-46): https://www.churchofengland.org/media/18763 GS2161 concentrates on the 2018 “Average Sunday attendance”, based on the 2018 October count; this includes attendance at Sunday church services and Sunday fresh expressions of Church. A somewhat longer list would result if attendance at midweek services and midweek fresh expressions of Church, which is also collected as part of Statistics for Mission, were included. A slightly different list would be generated if figures from different years were used, in part because of normal fluctuations in attendance. Most of these records relate to a single church, though some are joint records. Most of these records are figures as supplied by churches, though some are estimated (based on responses from those churches in previous years).
