  • An Early Ecclesiological Tour
    AN EARLY ECCLESIOLOGICAL TOUR In 1843 John Mason Neale, one of the founders of the Cambridge Camden Society, composed a short book on a subject that was beginning to attract good numbers of well-educated young men whose imagination was stirred by the drama of the Oxford Movement and the consequent attention directed to the condition of the nation's churches. The Camden Society had been established in 1839 to promote Ecclesiology - 'the study of Gothic Architecture, and of Ecclesiastical Antiquities', - and it rapidly became the main channel for the investigation of Gothic design in all its phases and for the consideration of the appropriate furnishings of an Anglican church in the mid-nineteenth century.i Neale was in his final year at Trinity College in 1839; by 1843 he was Chairman of the Society and already the author of numerous pamphlets on ecclesiological matters, often in conjunction with his close friend at Trinity, Benjamin Webb. The Society encouraged its members to undertake church tours, in a restricted locality, to record the contents and condition of churches in a systematic way, in order to create a register of the medieval buildings of the Church of England.ii During his undergraduate years, Neale made several intensive tours of different localities, which set the pattern for the perambulations that he described in his book of 1843.iii He gave this book an enigmatic title: Hierologus: A Church Tour though England and Wales. Hierologus can be translated as 'A Discourse on Sacred Matters'. The format of the book is modelled on Izaac Walton's Compleat Angler, where the interlocutors are Piscator, Venator and Auceps, the angler, the hunter and the hawker.

    JOHN MASON: ANGLICAN MILLENARIAN AND FRIEND OF DISSENTERS 1 MARILYN LEWIS In an earlier article, 2 John Mason, the millenarian rector of Water Straiford, was depicted as an old-fashioned Puritan within the Church of England who was friendly with Dissenters and much admired by later Evangelicals. Here, his relationships with contemporary Dissenting, and barely conforming, friends and his influence on later Evangelical admirers and critics, both Anglican and Nonconformist, are explored in greater depth.

  • The Influence of John Mason Neale and the Theology of Symbolism
    The Influence of John Mason Neale and the Theology of Symbolism © S.D. de Hart, Ph.D. This paper is taken from an unpublished doctoral dissertation (Anglo-Catholics and the Vestment Controversy in the 19th Century with special reference to the question of authority) by the Very Rev. Scott D. de Hart, completed in 1997 at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University in a collaborate research programme with Coventry University. Any use of this material should reference the author. For more information write [email protected] HE INFLUENCE of the Tractarian teaching is often the sole theological basis for studies in Ritualism, but it is also necessary to analyze the literary contribution T and influence of one who might be properly considered the finest theologian of nineteenth century Ritualism. Many factors conditioned the High Church Party to implement ritualistic practices, but in evaluating the writings that show the earliest signs of ritual development, one man stands at the forefront: John Mason Neale. Ironically, he was quite independent of the Tractarians. His writings are the most developed apologetic for Ritualism, his work giving expression to its meaning far beyond the scope of any Tractarian. In his historical outline of the rise of Ritualism, Archbishop Davidson somehow ignored the personal influence and theological strength of Neale on symbolism and ritual.1 In a determined effort to understand the rise of Ritualism, the Commission thought to begin with the writings of ‘rubricans’2 while ignoring the theology of symbolism identified with John Mason Neale. The historical approach of the Ecclesiastical Commission aimed at gaining insight into the handling of legal difficulties arising in the Church of England.

As a young man, after an evangelical upbringing and a university education during which he had been swept up by the tides of the Oxford Movement and the Gothic revival, he had become convinced that the Church of England was an authentic part of the historic Catholic Church. At the time (1836-1840) when Neale went to Cambridge, the Church of England was experiencing a period of inner strife. The progressive decline of church life and the spread of 'Liberalism' in theology were causing grave misgivings among churchmen. On the other hand, the works of such men as the Bishop of Oxford, Charles Lloyd, 1 and those of the Romantic Movement, had led to a new interest in many elements of primitive and mediaeval Christianity. Among the more immediate causes were the fear that the Catholic Emancipation Act would lead many Anglicans into the Roman Catholic Church, the anxiety occasioned by the Reform Bill ( 1832). and the plan to suppress ten Irish bishoprics. An awareness of this problem among the intellectual 'elite' at the universities gave rise to such groups as the Oxford Movement. founded by Pusey and his followers in 1833, and the Cambridge Camden Society, founded by Neale in 1839.

    Contents EDITORIAL: A SNAPSHOT OF THE SIXTIES page 2 THE DOCTRINE OF HOLY COMMUNION ACCORDING TO THE FORMULARIES OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND 6 Simon McKie ‘I BELIEVE IN THE ENGLISH REFORMATION’ 38 Robert J D Wainwright JOHN MASON NEALE: HYMNOLOGIST 54 Roger Homan BRANCHES AND BRANCH CONTACTS 62 1 Editorial: A Snapshot Of The Sixties recently reread Paul Ferris’s portrait of the Church of England, originally published in 1962 (‘between the end of the Chatterley ban I and the Beatles’ first LP’), and then in an updated edition in 19641. I find it fascinating; Ferris avowedly approaches the subject in the guise of the sceptical modern—‘I am of course an outsider’—and a point is often reached at which the words used by theologians or clergy leave him puzzled or bemused. On the other hand the attitude is not satirical, except in so far as the people interviewed make themselves absurd by their own quoted words2. He has a journalist’s nose for a story, and a novelistic eye for detail. And the reader is impressed with his industry: he had not only thoroughly researched the structure, law and finances of the Church, but interviewed a very large number of people—the Archbishop of Canterbury (Ramsey) and other bishops, parochial clergy, bureaucrats at Church House, investment men at the Church Commissioners, monks and nuns, the Church Society, the Lord Chancellor’s Appointments Secretary, religious broadcasters and a number of well-known theologians and commentators (including John Robinson, Alec Vidler, Charles Raven and HA Williams). He attended parochial meetings, clergy training sessions and the deposition (‘unfrocking’) of a priest at Southwark Cathedral presided over by the flamboyant Mervyn Stockwood.
