Ozment, The Rifarmation in the Cities: The Appeal of Protestantism to Sixteenth-Century Germany and Swit::.erland(New Haven and London, 1975). To be fair, Moeller and his school did not write a one-eyed religious account of the Reformation in the cities but linked the reception and appeal of Protestantism to the idea of community, or communal identity, in the late medieval city. But 'community' is evidently a 'religious' idea, if not a synonym for religion itself. 15. R. W.

Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure.

Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

Email:[email protected] Page 1 I am going to start this issue not talking about Whitlocks at all, but there is a round about connec~IOn. Needless to say the Whitlocks are my father's family but it is an item related to my mother s family that I want to start with. My mother's name is Nora Kathleen and her maiden n~me was Guinan. Her father.was Timothy Joseph Howard O'Farrell Guinan (1878-1952) of Birr, Tipperary, EI~e. Grandpa qum~ had a famous, no~oriousor infamous (depending on your point of view) cousm, Mary Cecilia Guman aka Texas Guman. Grandpa maintained Texas was a cousin but the actual connection has not been proven. Grandpa did visit Texas just before her death in Vancouver in 1933. The reason for including this in the Newsletter is I recently read Louise Berliner's book Texas Guinan, Queen of the Nightclubs and it got me interested again. I also have George Baxt's book The Dorothy Parker Murder Case in which Texas plays a fictitious role. Texas Guinan supposedly made over 100 movies most of which were silents. There is also a movie starring Betty Hutton called The Incendiary Blonde which is based on Texas' life. What I am looking for is any anecdotes anyone might have regarding Texas.

  • Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies
    Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies BY BABETTE M. LEVY Preface NE of the pleasant by-products of doing research O work is the realization of how generously help has been given when it was needed. The author owes much to many people who proved their interest in this attempt to see America's past a little more clearly. The Institute of Early American History and Culture gave two grants that enabled me to devote a sabbatical leave and a summer to direct searching of colony and church records. Librarians and archivists have been cooperative beyond the call of regular duty. Not a few scholars have read the study in whole or part to give me the benefit of their knowledge and judgment. I must mention among them Professor Josephine W, Bennett of the Hunter College English Department; Miss Madge McLain, formerly of the Hunter College Classics Department; the late Dr. William W. Rockwell, Librarian Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, whose vast scholarship and his willingness to share it will remain with all who knew him as long as they have memories; Professor Matthew Spinka of the Hartford Theological Sem- inary; and my mother, who did not allow illness to keep her from listening attentively and critically as I read to her chapter after chapter. All students who are interested 7O AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY in problems concerning the early churches along the Atlantic seaboard and the occupants of their pulpits are indebted to the labors of Dr. Frederick Lewis Weis and his invaluable compendiums on the clergymen and parishes of the various colonies.

  • Religious Printed Images in Elizabethan England
    Picturing the Invisible: Religious Printed Images in Elizabethan England Submitted by David Jonathan Davis to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in HISTORY This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis/thesis* which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (signature) ......................................................................................... 2 Abstract This thesis analyses the culture of printed images during the Elizabethan period, particularly those images of a religious nature. Focusing on images which depict invisible beings (i.e. angels, God, demons etc.), the thesis addresses the assumption that Protestant England all but completely eradicated religious visual imagery from society. Examining images that were first created and printed in Elizabethan England as well as older images which had been recycled from earlier texts and others imported from Europe, the research offers an analysis of Protestant printed imagery between 1558 and 1603. Questions of how images were read, altered, augmented, copied and transmitted across time and space have been posed. What was depicted and how? How were religious images used? What was their understood role in early modern print culture? How did Protestants distinguish between church images to be destroyed and printed images to be read? In this, the images have been historically contextualised within both the theological and cultural milieu of Calvinist theology, the growing international marketplace of print and early modern English society.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

Seems to have been the story all year this year. I managed to take some holidays in September and Patrick and I spent three weeks in England and Ireland. As usual I did not get to see half the people I had hoped to but did try to talk to quite a few people on the telephone. Did manage to do a bit of research while having a wonderful holiday. I was able to acquire several items of interest while in England and Ireland. I did find some elusive Guinan ancestors in Ireland which I was very pleased to find. In England I made copies of some of the Guildhall wills which added to that collection. I found a couple of Ralph Whitlock's books and was able to get copies of the portraits of Sir Bulstrode Whitelocke (1605-1675) and his father Sir James Whitlock (1570-1632) from the National Portrait gallery. I also brought back the forms for people to request copies of these through the mail if they wish to. I met with Robert Whitelocke Fountaine in Hertfordshire regarding the chart (R1926) showing his descent from Roger De la Beche circa 1200AD.

  • An Address by Rt Revd Roger Morris Bishop of Colchester
    Colchester Deanery Synod: Address by Rt Revd Roger Morris, Bishop of Colchester 1st December 2020 James Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert may be names that ring a bell with some of you But you will all have heard Jack Swigert’s chilling communication to Mission Control Houston – we’ve had a problem On board Apollo 13, things were not looking good An explosion in one of the oxygen tanks had ripped off one whole side of the space craft –they were losing oxygen fast and they had no power. They could not fulfil their mission They could barely communicate with the people on earth They had very little with which to sustain life It looked as though they were going to perish. Houston – we’ve had a problem I guess – if I am being really honest that is what we have been saying for about the last 5 years or so Now I say that – not to do us down but to recognise some of the factors at work Basically – it has pretty much always cost more to be the Church of England in Essex and East London than we get in We have always been subsidised. And part of that reflects our history There simply have not been the numbers of churchgoers in Essex to properly sustain a large Christian enterprise I know our Christian heritage goes a long way back we have a church by the Police Station that is 1700 years old and my predecessor as Bishop of Colchester (Bishop Adelphius of Camulodunum) was at the Council of Arles in 314 We have St Cedd and his great missionary endeavour but Essex has remained – on the whole pretty indifferent to the church So we have needed help

  • MORETON CORBET Written Primarily by Barbara Coulton 1989
    MORETON CORBET Written primarily by Barbara Coulton 1989 EARLY HISTORY There has been a settlement at Moreton at least since Saxon, even Roman times and it lies on the Roman road from Chester to Wroxeter. The Domesday Book (1086) records that Moreton was held by Thorold, from whom it was held by Hunning and his brother since before 1066. Another Saxon family, that of Thoret, came to have Moreton, under Robert fitz Turold. In the time of his descendant, Peter fitz Toret, the chapel at Moreton - a subsidiary of the church of St Mary at Shawbury (a Saxon foundation) - was granted, with St Mary's and its other chapels, to Haughmond Abbey, c. 1150. The north and south walls of the present church may date back to this time. Charters of Haughmond were attested by Peter fitz Toret and his sons, the second of whom, Bartholomew, inherited Moreton Toret, as it was then known. Witnesses to a charter of 1196 include Bartholomew de Morton and Richard Corbet of Wattlesborough, a small fortress in the chain guarding the frontier with Wales. He was a kinsman of the Corbets of Caus Castle, barons there from soon after the Norman conquest; Richard Corbet held Wattlesborough from his kinsman, owing him knight service each year, or when a campaign made it necessary. Richard Corbet married Bartholomew's daughter Joanna, heiress of Moreton, and their son, another RICHARD CORBET, inherited both Wattlesborough and Moreton. He married Petronilla, Lady of Booley and Edgbolton; their son ROBERT CORBET was of full age and in possession of his estates by 1255.
