[email protected] The Anglican Church as an Agent of Welfare – the case of Darlington MARTHA MIDDLEMISS Methods and materials Individual and focus group interviews have been used as the main tools in the study, these have however been complemented by the collection of documents and statis- tics for both church and town, newspaper articles and informal fact finding inter- views as well as observation in the form of tours of buildings at the disposal of both churches and other organisations. Interviews have been taped and transcribed. The interview sample is split fairly evenly between representatives of the churches and religious organisations and those of the local authority, or other non- church institutions. Further, for purposes of analysis, the material can be split into five groups. Representatives of the Church of England; elected representatives of the local authority; employees of the local authority/public bodies; employ- ees/volunteers of organisations within the voluntary sector and representatives of other denominations/ welfare organisations with a religious connection.1 It is the first three groups that are of particular interest to this study, although the inclusion of the later two groups was essential in mirroring the situation in England. In the pres- entation of the interview responses here it is therefore the responses of Church and local authority representatives that will be analysed in detail, although the other interviews are not completely absent from the report. In some cases they have yielded factual information and in others provide additional reference points in the analysis of the core material. On the Church side parish priests working in the town have been interviewed, of twelve interviewed only two are women. This mirrors the situation in the Church at large, although the focus on the clergy does mean that the large numbers of female volunteers in the churches are not represented as interviewees. The restricted size of the sample however led to the decision to cover all clergy in the area rather than selecting a mix of clergy and volunteers. In addition to these parish clergy, ordained representatives of some of the other main denominations of the town have been interviewed. On the non-church side elected and appointed representatives responsi- ble for social and health questions were selected and here women were in the major- 1 Representatives of the local authority and of the Health service are included here. The Health service is technically not part of the local authority, but here the heading is used to include all providers of public services.

Women are in a majority as employees of the public bodies in the town in the areas of health and welfare and this is reflected in the fact that this group of inter- viewees is entirely made up of women.2 In this group an attempt was made to cover several areas of welfare provision and attention was therefore focused on those with managerial responsibility, although at different levels. In addition to those in the local authority representatives of the Darlington partnership and of important local voluntary bodies have been interviewed. While the Church representatives all live in the town this cannot be said of the majority of those non-church representatives interviewed. The elected representa- tives live in their respective wards and have all been both resident in Darlington and active as councillors for long periods.3 Employees in the public sector are more likely to live elsewhere and commute to Darlington to work. Their connection with Darlington is also likely to have covered only the past two or three years. Unlike the majority of the townspeople interviewees, both church and non-church, are well educated (the majority hold university degrees) and hold professional jobs (unsur- prising however given that this was often a criterion for selection.) An age spread between mid 30s and pre-retirement is represented in the sample in both categories. Table 1. Interviewees category and gender.

Practical problems meant however that only two were carried out. The focus groups were convened making use of contacts in the town and while this was practically the only way to proceed it brought its own problems. It proved difficult to communicate exactly what was needed to people, who while eager to help were naturally not fully aware of the needs of the project and of focus group methodology. Analysis of the material from the two groups that were carried out can therefore only provide an indication of attitudes that exist amongst some townspeople. Documents collected include informal publications by the churches for internal use, publications by the Council, Partnership and health authorities detailing services provided and other initiatives. Other material includes statistics from the national Census and from the local authority. Newspaper articles have also been collected where relevant and available online, as subscription to printed versions of the local 2 Local area statistics from the 2001 Census show that while men and women are fairly equally represented in the working population as a whole (20, 127 women aged 16–74 in work as compared to 22, 165 men). 38.1 percent of the female working population are em- ployed in education, public administration and health compared to only 14.6 percent of the male working population. 3 Wards are geographical units of division of the town for electoral/ bureaucratic purposes. 2 Diakonivetenskapliga institutets skriftserie 12 England newspapers was not possible. References to the churches in the local newspapers are largely notes of events and services, rather than commentary on the role of the church. The Darlington Northern Echo does have one weekly column covering mat- ters relating to the Christian churches, this too though concentrates largely on report- ing from liturgical events and the reporter covers the whole of the North East. Interviews The interviews have been carried out using a semi-structured method and interview- ees were told as little as possible about the content of the project before being inter- viewed. Interviews have taken place in the interviewee’s home or office, according to their own preference and took about an hour on average. In a number of cases the interviews were preceded or followed by a tour of the church building/ hall/ prem- ises and a chance to ask additional factual questions. An interview guide was followed in all interviews. The guides were however adapted according to the individual situation. Generally the questions in the English interview guide represent a direct transla- tion of the

  • Bulgaria 2000
    Welcome to Bulgaria 2000 ISTANBUL, Turkey May, 1999 By Whitney Mason With his stylishly coifed hair and well-cut clothes, Giorgi Kuzmov, known as "George" to his many foreign friends, might not look like someone interested in international affairs. My old friend Frederic, working at the French Embassy in Sofia as the attachd audiovisuel, had introduced me to George because, as one of Bulgaria's top TV executives, he knew a lot of Bulgarians who spoke English and most of them happened to be beautiful young women. But one of the joys of the Balkans, for a reporter, is that here politics is not a subject of interest only to specialists but a universally fascinating aspect of the drama of everyday life. And so it was perfectly natural that night, as Giorgi and I drove through Sofia's pot-holed streets in his Dodge Voyager van, that he brought up the sub- ject of Kosovo, where NATO would begin air strikes a few weeks later. Wasn't it hypocritical of the U.S. to moralize about Kosovo, Giorgi asked rhetorically, while never raising any opposition to Turkey's oppression of the Kurds? Since then, I have heard that question repeated many times; I have never had a re- sponse to offer. A cool acid jazz tune by US3 was playing loudly when we walked into E1 Cabana. Giorgi introduced me to three beautiful friends and ordered gin and tonics all around before segueing seamlessly back to Kosovo. "What would Americans say if blacks in New Orleans (where he'd just spent ten days) de- clared that they wanted independence?" Giorgi asked.

  • Obstacles to the Right of Free Movement of EU Citizens
    DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR INTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT C: CITIZENS' RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS CIVIL LIBERTIES, JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS PETITIONS Obstacles to the right of free movement and residence for EU citizens and their families Comparative Analysis STUDY Abstract This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the LIBE and PETI Committees, presents a synthesis of in-depth studies in nine Member States in addition to broader EU and national research. Based on an analysis of selected provisions of Directive 2004/38/EC in Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the UK, it identifies the main persisting barriers to free movement for EU citizens and their family members. The study also examines discriminatory restrictions to free movement, measures to counter abuse of rights and refusals of entry and residence rights, in addition to expulsions. It finds that, ten years after the deadline for transposition, there is general compliance, though some challenges remain. More systematic data collection, evaluation and guidance is thus required. The nine country studies are made available separately. PE 571.375 EN ABOUT THE PUBLICATION This research paper was requested by the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and Committee on Petitions and was commissioned, supervised and published by the Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs. Policy departments provide independent expertise, both in-house and externally, to support European Parliament committees and other parliamentary bodies in shaping legislation and exercising democratic scrutiny over EU external and internal policies.

  • Roger Garaudy, Abbé Pierre, and the French Negationists
    Simon Epstein Roger Garaudy, Abbé Pierre, and the French Negationists The Roger Garaudy affair, was the most famous of the cases of negationism in France in the 1990s. It boosted Garaudy to the rank of chief propagator of denial of the Shoah, following in the footsteps of Paul Rassinier, who made himself known in the 1950s, and Robert Faurisson, whose hour of glory came in the 1980s. In addition, the Garaudy affair marks the point of intersection between negationism and a particularly virulent anti-Zionism. For both of these reasons—its place in the history of negationism in France and its “anti-Zionist” specificity—this affair deserves to be examined in detail, in all its phases of development. Central to such an analysis is the somewhat unusual biography of the chief protagonist. Born in 1913 to a working-class family, Roger Garaudy was first tempted by Protestantism before becoming a Marxist in 1933. A teacher of philosophy at the secondary school in Albi, in the Tarn, he became an active militant in the ranks of the French Communist Party (PCF). He was arrested in September 1940 and trans- ferred to the detention camps of the Vichy regime in Southern Algeria. Elected to the French Parliament after the war, he progressed through the Communist hierarchy and became one of the intellectuals most representative of, and loyal to the PCF. Director of the Center of Marxist Studies and Research (CERM) from 1959 to 1969, he addressed himself to promoting dialogue between Marxists and Christians. He sought to prove that Communism was compatible with humanism, in compliance with the “politics of openness” advocated by Maurice Thorez, the Communist leader.

  • UPF and WFWP France's Day of Peace Brotherhood and Religion, Paris
    UPF and WFWP France's Day of Peace Brotherhood and Religion, Paris Brigitte Wada September 17, 2016 On September 17, 2016, on the occasion of the International Day of Peace, the French chapters of UPF and WFWP organized an interreligious Forum on the theme of “Brotherhood and Religion” at the Catholic center “Accueil Barouillère” in Paris. Since early 2015, France has gone through a traumatic experience with terrorism. The recent killings on the Nice seafront and the beheading of the catholic priest Father Hamel while saying mass in his church in Normandy have heightened tensions and fears within communities. The forum raised the fundamental question: can we go beyond simple tolerance and coexistence and live as brothers and sisters in a multicultural, multireligious society? Religions provide an answer from the core of their teaching: living as brothers and sisters is possible when one connects with the transcendental Spirit that is the source of compassion, mercy and love. The event, the second of three forums in 2016 in Paris*, was also aimed at addressing contemporary social issues through the prism of the family and bringing the family to the fore of interreligious dialogue and harmony. In the first session, moderated by UPF France vice president Patrick Jouan, the first speaker was a Catholic Bishop, Monseigneur Jacques Gaillot, Bishop of Partenia. In a soft but captivating tone, he conquered the audience speaking on the meaning of brotherhood, referring to a world under a warm sunshine or a beautiful garden with various kinds of fragrant flowers, adding: “What transcends us is what brings us together”.
