  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx).

Windsor, Berks. Printed by Dramrite Printers Ltd, Southwark, London SE1 ISBN No. 1 871161 00 2 In this digital copy the start of each page of the book and other editorial notes are shown by e.g. {10}. - 3 - {v} FOREWORD This history appears as the Oratory celebrates the seventy fifth anniversary of its foundation in Cambridge in 1913. Canon Tibbatts, who has served both as Secretary-General and Superior, is uniquely qualified to tell the story. His association with the Oratory began in his undergraduate days at Kings in the l920ies. He knew personally the founding fathers and enjoyed their friendship. In the years preceding the first world war three young clerical dons (John How, Eric Milner-White and Edward Wynn) sought to establish a society for celibate priests, bound by a common rule of life, marked by Catholic discipline of prayer and devotion, and characterised by the importance attached to regular and systematic study in the life of a priest Their inspiration was drawn from the Catholic revival of the previous century, and they were concerned to make a distinctive witness in the religious life of the University. The ethos of the Oratory was, and has continued to be essentially Anglican in its Catholic form. The devotion to Our Lord as the Good Shepherd, the adoption of Nicholas Ferrar of Little Gidding as patron, testify to the pastoral ideal and English temper of the Oratory.

  • Christianity and Vegetarianism 1809 – 2009
    EDEN’S DIET: CHRISTIANITY AND VEGETARIANISM 1809 – 2009 by SAMANTHA JANE CALVERT A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham June 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The vegetarian teachings of the Salvation Army, Quakers, the Seventh Day Adventists and other Christian groups have been largely neglected by academics. This study takes a prosopographical approach to the development of modern Christian vegetarianism across a number of Christian vegetarian sects, and some more mainstream traditions, over a period of two centuries. The method allows for important points of similarity and difference to be noted among these groups’ founders and members. This research contributes particularly to radical Christian groups’ place in the vegetarian movement’s modern history. This study demonstrates how and why Christian vegetarianism developed in the nineteenth century and to what extent it influenced the secular vegetarian movement and wider society. It contextualizes nineteenth-century Christian vegetarianism in the wider movement of temperance, and considers why vegetarianism never made inroads into mainstream churches in the way that the temperance movement did.

  • GS Misc 1172 an Abuse of Faith
    GS Misc 1172 The Independent Peter Ball Review AN ABUSE OF FAITH 1 FOREWORD “He said it was God’s will1” This report considers the serious sexual wrongdoing of Peter Ball, a bishop of the Church of England (the Church), who abused many boys and men over a period of twenty years or more. That is shocking in itself but is compounded by the failure of the Church to respond appropriately to his misconduct, again over a period of many years. Ball’s priority was to protect and promote himself and he maligned the abused. The Church colluded with that rather than seeking to help those he had harmed, or assuring itself of the safety of others. Much of what we report has already been aired in the public domain but we have been surprised by how unclear the picture was, even to many who were quite close to what happened. In part that is a consequence of misinformation used by Ball. We hope that a clear and detailed account of what happened will help all involved. Most of the events described in this report took place many years ago. Some beliefs, attitudes and moral norms have changed. The standards and expectations of safeguarding practice, both in the Church and more widely, were different then. We do not think that the Church now would conduct itself in the ways we have described. We believe that the Church’s attitude to homosexuality at the time played a part in the failure to act appropriately. Ball’s abusive behaviour was trivialised and its consequences were set aside.

Darkness falls as your life ebbs away. Violence, hatred and fear have distorted your human features. So much in our hurting world is broken. Yet you are there, not abandoning us. You bear our pain. You make our distress and confusion your own. May the cruel wood of your cross become the living tree that bears fruit for our healing. Renew our lives by the blood and water that flow from your side. Breathe that last breath of your Spirit into our lives. (Prayer request written by Christopher Chapman - Discipleship and Spirituality Consultant) Anglican Communion: The Diocese of Bathurst - The Anglican Church of Australia 3 April Praying together: Holy Saturday Today we wait in the darkness of the tomb where your broken body lies. The wheat grain lies buried in the earth. We feel the loss of what has ended, and the absence of what has not yet begun. Be with those whose lives are suspended in long days of grieving. In this sleep of your death, Lord Jesus, hold those who can see no meaning to the day ahead.
