  • The Use and Abuse of Cambridge University's Ten-Year Divinity Statute

    The Use and Abuse of Cambridge University's Ten-Year Divinity Statute

    Ambition, Anxiety and Aspiration: the use and abuse of Cambridge University’s Ten-Year Divinity Statute. This paper examines the market for and motivation of those who made use of a little-known Cambridge University statute which, in effect, offered a low-cost distance learning degree until 1858. It shows how non-graduates, both clerical and lay, attempted to use its provisions to enhance their status, facilitate career advancement and insulate themselves against status slippage, a problem that became acute in the second decade of the nineteenth century as the reinvigorated universities reasserted their role as educators of the clergy and as the bishops increasingly denied ordination to those educated outside their sphere. In doing so we can observe how the desires of non-graduate clergy to take degrees, and the attempts of liberally-educated non-graduates to enter the pulpits of the established Church, were responded to both by the university which received them and more broadly by the print discourse which critiqued their ambitions. The tensions revealed are relevant not just for understanding something of how the clergy were developing as an occupational group, and the tensions caused by the changing supplies of graduates, but also reflect more generally the status anxieties of the elites and middling sorts as they faced down fears of competition for cultural and economic privilege appendant to educational opportunities. The ten-year divinity statute: interpretation and reputation. Distance learning has a long pedigree at Cambridge University. A papal dispensation allowing monks and friars to proceed to the degree of bachelor of divinity, without first taking a degree in the arts was, in spirit, to survive the reformation.

    Henry Chadwick 1920–2008

    HENRY CHADWICK Reproduced by permission of The Times Henry Chadwick 1920–2008 I THE ACCUMULATED DISTINCTION of the Chadwick family is something of a byword. Henry Chadwick was the son of a notably brilliant and success- ful barrister (a former Wrangler in the Cambridge Tripos) who wrote a landmark book on property law; the brother of one senior economist and diplomat and one prolifi c, universally respected and loved academic histor- ian; and, not least, the father of a charismatic headmistress and educa- tionalist. But this was not a typical Oxbridge academic dynasty: the family’s roots lay in Lancashire, and Henry’s grandfather was a mining engineer, whose untimely death in a pit accident meant that John Chadwick senior was brought up by his mother (who came from a farming family at Westleigh) and, after an education at Rossall School, proceeded to Pembroke, Cambridge, studying fi rst Mathematics and then Law, moving to the Inner Temple. He married Edith Horrocks, from another solidly Lancashire line (her father had been Mayor of Leigh), a fi ne pianist and a woman of culture and education, and six children, four boys and two girls, were born to them. They made their home in Bromley, Kent, where their fourth child, Henry, was born on 23 June 1920. John Chadwick survived service in the RNVR during the First World War only to die of meningitis at the age of 51, when Henry was ten. Henry thus came to share his father’s experience of being brought up by a widowed mother, and it is not fanciful to see his extraordinary musical talent as a mark of his mother’s encouragement and inspiration.

    The CWG Will Review Aspects of Cathedral Management And

    The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have set up a Cathedrals Working Group, CWG, in response to a request made by the Bishop of Peterborough in his January 2017 Visitation Charge on Peterborough Cathedral for a revision to be carried out of the adequacy of the current Cathedrals Measure. The CWG will review aspects of cathedral management and governance and produce recommendations for the Archbishops on the implications of these responsibilities with regards to the current Cathedrals Measure. It will be chaired by the Bishop of Stepney, Adrian Newman, the former Dean of Rochester Cathedral, and the Dean of York, Vivienne Faull, will be the vice chair. The Working Group will look at a number of different areas of Cathedral governance, including training and development for cathedral deans and chapters, financial management issues, the procedure for Visitations, safeguarding matters, buildings and heritage and the role of Cathedrals in contributing to evangelism within their dioceses. The Bishop of Stepney and the Dean of York said: "Cathedrals contribute uniquely to the ecology of the Church of England, and we are a healthier, stronger church when they flourish. We are pleased to have this opportunity to review the structures that support their ministry, in order to enhance their role in church and society Cathedrals are one of the success stories of the Church of England, with rising numbers of worshippers. They are a vital part of our heritage and make an incalculable contribution to the life of the communities that they serve. This is an exciting opportunity for the Working Group to look at the different aspects of how Cathedrals work, and to ensure that the legislation and procedures they use are fit for purpose for their mission in the 21st century." The Group will report back initially to the Archbishops' Council, Church Commissioners and House of Bishops in December 2017.

    17 July 2015 the Reverend Professor Owen Chadwick

    William Owen Chadwick, OM KBE FBA HonFRSE 20 May 1916 - 17 July 2015 The Reverend Professor Owen Chadwick: Scholar hailed as one of the greatest religious historians of his age Chadwick's range extended far beyond Christianity First Published in The Independent - Thursday 23 July 2015 and reproduced with permission from the Independent Owen Chadwick was one of the great religious historians of our time. Remarkable for the wide variety of subjects he treated, he wrote extensively on Christianity and the nature of religion but on many other topics too, including biography and general history. "History tells of the experience of the human race," he believed, and furthermore, because so much of Western historical thought is grounded in religion, "modern historical consciousness arose within Christendom". He was born in 1916 in Bromley, the third of six children. Under the threat of Zeppelins he was evacuated to his grandparents' home in Lancashire. He was educated at Tonbridge School, where he became captain of the rugby team. He continued playing rugby at Cambridge University and was captain in his third year. He joined an informal Lions team which toured Argentina in 1936, winning all their 10 games, including a 23-0 victory against the Argentinian national side, in which Chadwick played in his favoured position as hooker. Interviewed in 2008, a remark he made about his time as a rugby player hints at his approach to academia as much as to sport: "In the scrum you can do your good anonymously, with no sense of display on the field where people could watch you doing noble things..." Chadwick had not considered himself a Christian, but in 1938 he came under the influence of the "two Martins": Martin Charlesworth, a Christian who had guided and inspired Chadwick in his choice of vocation while he was an undergraduate at St John's College; and Martin Niemöller, the anti-Nazi pastor arrested in Germany that year and considered by Chadwick to be "the European conscience standing on moral principle against tyranny".

  • Faith Leaders' Open Letter to the Prime Minister

    Faith Leaders' Open Letter to the Prime Minister

    http://interfaithrefugeeinitiative.org/ We are leaders from Britain’s major faiths: Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Zoroastrian. All our faiths compel us to affirm the dignity of all human beings and to offer help to anyone in need. As people of faith, we call on your Government urgently to revise its policy towards refugees. The best of this country is represented by the generosity, kindness, solidarity and decency that Britain has at many times shown those fleeing persecution, even at times of far greater deprivation and difficulty than the present day. We rejoice in the mosaic of different faiths and British communities that we now represent. We are proud that in May 2016, in a survey by Amnesty International, 83% of Britons said they would welcome refugees into their neighbourhoods and households. In the face of the unfolding human catastrophe, there are immediate and viable steps that the Government can take to offer sanctuary to more refugees. We call on you to create safe, legal routes of travel, for example by adopting fair and humane family reunion policies for refugees. Under the present immigration rules, a British doctor of Syrian origin could not bring her parents from a refugee camp in Lebanon – even though they were refugees and she could support and house them. A Syrian child who arrived alone in the UK could not bring his parents from a refugee camp in Jordan – even if the child were recognised a refugee and even though his parents were themselves refugees. Families in these situations can currently be reunited only by resorting to desperately unsafe irregular journeys, sometimes ending in avoidable tragedies.
