  • Celebration of a New Ministry
    Diocese of Canterbury Celebration of a New Ministry The Licensing of The Reverend Karen Reeves as Priest in Charge of The Benefice of St Margaret’s: St Margaret of Antioch, St Peter’s, St Augustine’s and St Mary the Virgin by The Right Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin Bishop in Canterbury and Bishop of Dover and Installation by The Venerable Darren Miller Archdeacon of Ashford March 17th, 2021 7.00 pm About this Service Welcome to this Service of Licensing and Installation. Today we mark a special moment in the life of this benefice and a new stage on our journey of discipleship, which brings a new minister to work alongside the many people who are already called to serve in the mission and ministry of the church in this place. About this benefice The benefice of St Margaret’s comprises four parishes: The mother church of St Margaret of Antioch (St Margaret’s -at-Cliffe), St Peter’s (Westcliffe), St Augustine’s (East Langdon) and St Mary the Virgin (West Langdon). Each has its own distinct worshipping congregation and local community but for the last 20 years we have worked and prayed together for the benefit of all. Our Christian outreach is proactive across all four communities; we engage with the Dover Deanery and support local charities across Dover District. Our worshiping congregations may be small, but our Christian presence is widespread. We are a rural benefice but enjoy excellent communications locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. About our new minister Kaz (Karen) Reeves is a mother and grandmother, former nurse and health visitor, ordained priest in the Church of England in 2005 with posts in both parishes and acute hospital chaplaincy services.

  • National Archdeacons' Forum Mailing
    NATIONAL ARCHDEACONS’ FORUM serving the Church of England and the Church in Wales Archdeacons’ News Bulletin no. 28 October 2017 from Norman Boakes Archdeacons’ National Executive Officer For those who have enjoyed the Lindchester Chronicles with their clear reflection in fiction of so much truth about the Church of England, the publication of Catherine Fox’s third and final volume in the series will be much welcomed. Realms of Glory introduces us to a second archdeacon to fill the long vacancy alongside Matt - though he is about to move on to other things. Cathy plays again with the stereotype of the archdeacon in her character of the Ven Bea Whitchurch, and because Bea knits she tries to compare her to Madame Defarge at the guillotine. But “No. It’s no good. Even as I wrote that, I could hear Bea hooting with laughter. Bea doesn’t really have a wrong side. Obviously, she’s capable of being firm when required, and now and then of getting pretty cross. But it’s becoming clear to me that once again I have failed to present you with an archidiaconal monster.” As in her previous novels, Cathy explores the realities of humanity, our frailties, our hopes, our fears, the burdens we carry from the past and need to work with, and how people of faith seek to live and grow with all this reality. She does it with a gentle touch, and shows how so often it is love which transforms things, a love which engages, challenges, sometimes suffers, and perseveres. It may be fiction, but like all good fiction it reflects human life and gives us insight into faith.

  • Thomas Becket: Chancellor, Archbishop and Saint
    Thomas Becket: Chancellor, Archbishop and Saint 7 July: feast day commemorating the translation of his remains from the crypt to Trinity Chapel shrine in the cathedral, 800 years ago, in 1220. 29 December: St. Thomas’s Becket’s feast day, commemorating his martyrdom in Canterbury Cathedral, 850 years ago, in 1170. An extensive programme of events to mark these anniversaries was planned by the cathedral at Canterbury, but because of the Covid-19 pandemic, all have been postponed until 29 December at the earliest. A pilgrimage along the medieval Pilgrim’s Way from Southwark to Canterbury has been cancelled. Holy Trinity Church’s commemorations, centred on our own medieval Becket chantry chapel, have likewise had to be postponed, but the Becket exhibition in the church celebrates these significant 2020 dual anniversaries. Thomas Becket was born c. 1118, in Cheapside, London, son of a Norman merchant father. He rose from these modest beginnings to become a powerful adversary of his king, Henry II, and one of the most venerated medieval Christian saints. Educated first at the Augustinian Merton Priory, then in London and Paris, he started his career serving the city sheriffs as a clerk and accountant; he then became a member of the illustrious household of Archbishop Theobald, who appointed Becket as his agent, and sent by him to study civil and canon law at Bologna and Auxerre. In 1154, Theobald made him Archdeacon of Canterbury, an important and lucrative post, and less than three months later he recommended him to Henry II as Lord Chancellor. In this post, Becket had the opportunity to distinguish himself in initiatives no longer associated with Chancellor; he razed castles, repaired the Tower of London, conducted embassies, mustered and led troops in battle, and was trusted completely by Henry, becoming his close companion and intimate friend, both at court and in the hunting field.

Nicholas Dixon November 2018 ii Thesis Summary The Activity and Influence of the Established Church in England, c. 1800-1837 Nicholas Andrew Dixon Pembroke College, Cambridge This thesis examines the various ways in which the Church of England engaged with English politics and society from c. 1800 to 1837. Assessments of the early nineteenth-century Church of England remain coloured by a critique originating in radical anti-clerical polemics of the period and reinforced by the writings of the Tractarians and Élie Halévy. It is often assumed that, in consequence of social and political change, the influence of a complacent and reactionary church was irreparably eroded by 1830.

The Parish and what we can offer a. St Peter & St Paul, Temple Ewell b. St Mary the Virgin, Lydden 4. Canterbury Diocese 5. Dover Deanery 6. The Archdeacon writes St Mary’s Lydden St Peter and St Paul Temple Ewell 2 1. The religious and spiritual challenges in the 21st century It is challenging for a religious culture to provide the immediate gratification and answers of technology so embedded in today’s world. Equally the pace of life and often financial pressures place demands on busy family life. In common with many congregations we want to expand the number of families and young people in our churches. In order for our churches to become sustainable worshipping communities that effectively take mission into the local area we need to look at ourselves and identify what we do well and what we are not achieving and why. We need to listen to God, celebrate what is good and play our part in enriching communities. We therefore would welcome the leadership, inspiration and support of a priest to enable and encourage us on this journey. 2. Our new priest We are looking for a part-time stipendiary priest (0.5FTE; Sunday duties plus 3 days) who will: • Grow and enable mission and ministry within the communities of Temple Ewell and Lydden • Have a deep commitment to pastoral care • Have a vision for mission and outreach • Be a visible, compassionate and sensitive presence in

  • George Abbot 1562-1633 Archbishop of Canterbury
    English Book Owners in the Seventeenth Century: A Work in Progress Listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: • What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? • How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? • How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. Evidence of book ownership in this period is manifested in a variety of ways, which need to be brought together if we are to develop that fuller picture.

It has often been defined by contemporary criticism, such as this assuredly rhetorical statement by John of Salisbury, or through the charters, acta, of archdeacons themselves, which are dominated by only the administrative processes of the office.

    IN THE COMMISSARY COURT OF THE DIOCESE OF CANTERBURY IN RE ST. MARY THE BLESSED VIRGIN, EASTRY _____________________________ JUDGMENT _____________________________ INTRODUCTION 1. The Petitioners,1 by a petition for a confirmatory faculty, seek authorisation of the following matters: (1) Replacement of lead stolen on 5th June 2011 and 9th July 2011 with artificial non-metal roofing material known as “Ubiflex” (2) Further stripping of remaining lead from roofs and replacement of the same with “Ubiflex” (3) Sale of the lead removed from the roofs as a result of (2) above to a registered metal dealer. 2. The background to this case is the all too familiar tale of the theft of lead from the Church roof. Sometime in around 2008-9 four bays of lead were stolen from the 1 The Revd Canon Mark Roberts, Mr Peter Franklin and Mr Robert Barwick. Mr Barwick was substituted as a Petitioner with the leave of the Court on 12th September 2012. ME.1277 north aisle of the Church.
