  • “Presbyterian Mixture”
    “Presbyterian Mixture” a sermon by Dr. William P. Wood First Presbyterian Church Charlotte, North Carolina January 11, 2009 Text: “….and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called ‘Christians.’” (Acts 11:26b) This past year, when I was on study leave at Princeton Seminary, I had the occasion to visit with Dr. Iain Torrance, the President of the Seminary. Dr. Torrance served the Church of Scotland as a parish minister and as Moderator of the General Assembly. He also serves as one of the Chaplains to the Royal Family of Great Britain and maintains a close relationship with the Queen and members of her family. He explained to me that when the Queen is in Scotland, she worships at St. Giles in Edinburgh, and a member of the Royal family attends every meeting of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. One of the things that Dr. Torrance shared with me was some of the differences between the Church of England and the Church of Scotland. This is particularly evident in official state occasions. In England, at every state occasion the Queen leads the processional, because she is head of the Church of England. She is followed by the Prime Minister and then the Archbishop of Canterbury. In Scotland, Dr. Torrance pointed out, there is a different order of procedure. State processions in Scotland are led by the Moderator of the Church of Scotland, then the Queen, and then the Prime Minister. When I asked him why there was this difference, he replied with a very stern look and said, “Because in Scotland, Jesus Christ is head of the church.” Several years ago, I remember being in Edinburgh and visited a tobacco shop.

  • Sister Dominic Savio Was a History Teacher at St Michael's Academy In
    Sister Dominic Savio was a history teacher at St Michael’s Academy in Kilwinning, one of many nuns who taught there over the years, and was a member of The Sisters of the Cross and Passion, founded in Manchester in the 1850’s. The Sisters work all over the world in education, nursing and pastoral care. She joined St Michael's staff in 1966, and had a great interest in local history, Kilwinning Abbey (in its pre-reformation days, of course) in particular. As well as this booklet, she also wrote "Mary Queen of Scots and her Connection with Irvine" for the Irvine Carters' Society in the 1980s, and a history of her order, "The Sisters of the Cross and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Diocese of Galloway" in 1988. Originally, the publishers placed the footnotes in a separate chapter at the end, but because it’s difficult to scroll backwards and forwards on a computer screen, I’ve put them at the bottom of the relevant pages, and have placed the photos and diagrams at the end. This booklet was first produced in 1988. The costs of publishing were met by advertising, and I have included the adverts after the photos. These are of some historical interest themselves, as most of the businesses are no longer trading. I have not been able to trace Sr Dominic or her heirs to seek permission to reprint this booklet here, but since its purpose is solely to make her work widely available again, I assume it would meet with her approval.

Apart from any fair dealing for the purposes of study, research, criticism, review, or as otherwise permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission. Inquiries should be made to the publisher. Typeset, printed & bound by Southwood Press Pty Limited 80-92 Chapel Street, Marrickville, NSW For the publisher Sydney University Law School Phillip Street, Sydney ISBN 0 909777 22 5 Preface 1990 marks the Centenary of the Law School. Technically the Centenary of the Faculty of Law occurred in 1957, 100 years after the Faculty was formally established by the new University. In that sense, Sydney joins Melbourne as the two oldest law faculties in Australia. But, even less than the law itself, a law school is not just words on paper; it is people relating to each other, students and their teachers. Effectively the Faculty began its teaching existence in 1890. In that year the first full time Professor, Pitt Cobbett was appointed. Thus, and appropriately, the Law School celebrated its centenary in 1990, 33 years after the Faculty might have done. In addition to a formal structure, a law school needs a substantial one, stone, bricks and mortar in better architectural days, but if pressed to it, pre-stressed concrete. In its first century, as these chapters recount, the School was rather peripatetic — as if on circuit around Phillip Street.

  • Young Porteous and Scottish Presbyterianism in the Interwar Years
    The Brave New World: Young Porteous and Scottish Presbyterianism in the Interwar Years Stewart J. Brown Norman Walker Porteous, Church of Scotland minister and Old Testament scholar, completed his education and began his professional career at a time of profound uncertainty for Church and society in Scotland. The two decades following the end of the First World War were a time of stark contrasts—a time of passionate convictions and also of cynicism regarding all beliefs and ideals; a time of high views of human potential and also of pessimism about the prospects for the human race; a time of hopes for a brave new world to emerge out of the sacrifices of the Great War and also of disillusionment over the grim social realities of economic recession, unemployment and mass poverty. The interwar years were a testing time for a young, aspiring minister and scholar-teacher, seeking to hold on to a life-affirming faith. Yet they were also an exciting time, when beliefs and ideologies mattered, when old Victorian moral certainties and intellectual landmarks were fading, and when the Christian faith was being challenged to redefine itself for a new social order. To understand the life and work of Norman Porteous, it is important to consider the context of Presbyterianism, politics and society in Scotland during the interwar period. In this essay, I wish to review some of the events shaping the Scottish Church and society during these years – giving particular attention first, to the impact of the Great War on the Scottish Churches; second, to the social crisis that accompanied the post-war economic recession; and third, to the growing international crisis associated with the rise of totalitarian regimes on the Continent.

THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND ARMY CHAPLAINS IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR David George Coulter The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 1997 ABSTRACT This thesis is the first study of Church of Scotland chaplains serving with the Army during the Second World War. It explores the way in which the Church of Scotland accepted the chaJlenge of the Second World War and how the Presbyterian chaplains were recruited, trained and how they performed their ministerial duties under wartime conditions. The thesis opens with an examination of the Church of Scotland during the inter-war years, with particular attention to the background of those ministers who were ordained in the 1930s and who were later recruited as Army Chaplains from 1939-45. The discussion highlights pacifism, anti-Semitism, and the Scottish response on the German Church struggle.

  • Scottish Record Society

EDITED BY FRANCIS J. GRANT, W.S., ROTHESAY HERALD AND LYON CLEKK. c-oW-^^ EDINBURGH : PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY BY JAMES SKINNER & COMPANY. 1909. EDIJJBURGH : PRINTED BY JAMES SKINNKR AND COMPANY. PREFACE. Among the various civil jurisdictions exercised by the Ecclesiastical Courts prior to the Reformation was that of adjudicating in Con- sistorial causes or actions relating to marriage, legitimacy and divorce. The only records of that period now preserved in the General Register House are the Registers of two Officialates of St. Andrews for the years 1512-1552 and 1541-1554, excerpts from which were printed by the Abbotsford Club in 1845. In -1560 the jurisdiction of these Courts was abolished and on the institution of the Commissary Court in 1563-4 these cases were made over to the Commissaries of Edinburgh, who continued judges therein until 1830, when these matters were transferred to the Court of Session. The Record of these proceedings before 1658 will be found mixed up with those of the ordinary Court, but after that date the processes have been kept in separate bundles, and from 1684 the Extracted Decreets are contained in a different Register. These Processes and Decreets form the subject of this Index. The Processes include Actions for Divorce, both on the ground of desertion or adultery, Separation and Aliment, Declarator of Marriage or Legitimacy, Declarator of Freedom or Putting to Silence, Adherence, Reduction of Edicts of Executry, Nullity of Marriage, Reduction and Improbation and Scandal or Damages for Slander.
