ABSTRACT in the Early Nineteenth Century, the Church ABSTRACT In the early nineteenth century, the Church of England faced a crisis of self- understanding as a result of political and social changes occurring in Britain. The church was forced to determine what it meant to be the established church of the nation in light of these new circumstances. In the 1830s, a revival took place within the Church of England which prompted a renewal of the theology and practice of the church, including the Eucharist. This revival, known as the Oxford Movement, breathed new life into the High Church party. A heightened emphasis was placed on the sacramental life and on the Eucharist as the focus of worship. Adherents of the Oxford Movement developed a Eucharistic theology which promoted a closer connection between the elements and Christ’s presence in the Eucharist than did the earlier Anglican tradition. One of the exponents of this Eucharistic theology was Robert Isaac Wilberforce (1802- 1857). The second son of anti-slavery crusader William Wilberforce, Robert was raised in a family of prominent Anglican Evangelicals. At the University of Oxford he came under the influence of his tutor, John Keble, who was one of the four leaders of the Oxford Movement during its heyday. The Gorham case, whose focus was ostensibly the question of baptismal regeneration, turned into a debate on the state’s control over the established church. Robert 1 Wilberforce was called upon to articulate the sacramental theology of the Oxford Movement, which he did in his three major works, The Doctrine of Holy Baptism: With Remarks to the Rev. W. Goode’s “Effects of Infant Baptism,” The Doctrine of the Incarnation of Our Lord Jesus Christ in its relation to Mankind and the Church and The Doctrine of the Holy Eucharist. In attempting to reconcile catholicising and Evangelical views within the Church of England Wilberforce presented an understanding of Eucharistic presence that may be said to be a synthesis of various Christian positions on the subject. Wilberforce views sacraments as natural outgrowths of the Incarnation. In the case of the Eucharist, the elements contain the spiritual presence of the risen and glorified Christ. Wilberforce maintains that as a result of consecration the Eucharistic elements of bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ. This presence is not a physical one, however. When received by faithful believers in a state of spiritual fitness, the elements convey the gift of God’s grace. The importance placed on consecration is consistent with the catholic tradition of Christianity while the emphasis on the spiritual state of the recipient is a feature of the Evangelical tradition. This thesis examines Wilberforce’s writings on sacramental theology to determine how he reached his understanding of presence. We shall see that in addition to turning to Scripture he looked back to the early centuries of the Christian era to find sources that would be acceptable to all Christians. Although he may not have deliberately intended to do so, Wilberforce bridges the gaps between the factions within the Church of England on the subject of Eucharistic presence. By extension, it can be said to appeal to other Christian groups as well. In looking to the past for answers to the dilemmas of his time Wilberforce was following a path similar to that taken by continental European theologians of the nineteenth century in their efforts to rediscover the roots of the Christian tradition. Wilberforce’s approach to this synthesis 2 foreshadows that taken by various ecumenical bodies in the latter part of the twentieth century, both bilaterally in the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Committee (ARCIC) and multilaterally in the documents on Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry published by the World Council of Churches. Wilberforce is important for Christians today because his work serves as a reminder of the importance of turning to the roots of the Christian tradition to find commonalities. The parallels between his work and the developments in twentieth-century Christian sacramental and liturgical scholarship are striking. The early seeds of the ecumenical movement were just beginning to be planted during Wilberforce’s time; nevertheless, he can be seen as a precursor to the ecumenical movements that would follow over a century after his death. 3 Veiled in an Earthly Medium: A Theology of Eucharistic Presence as an Eirenicon of Divergent Christian Positions in the Writings of Robert Isaac Wilberforce (1802-1857) Dianne M.

  • A Short History of the Western Rite Vicariate
    A Short History of the Western Rite Vicariate Benjamin Joseph Andersen, B.Phil, M.Div. HE Western Rite Vicariate of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America was founded in 1958 by Metropolitan Antony Bashir (1896–1966) with the Right Reverend Alex- T ander Turner (1906–1971), and the Very Reverend Paul W. S. Schneirla. The Western Rite Vicariate (WRV) oversees parishes and missions within the Archdiocese that worship according to traditional West- ern Christian liturgical forms, derived either from the Latin-speaking Churches of the first millenium, or from certain later (post-schismatic) usages which are not contrary to the Orthodox Faith. The purpose of the WRV, as originally conceived in 1958, is threefold. First, the WRV serves an ecumeni- cal purpose. The ideal of true ecumenism, according to an Orthodox understanding, promotes “all efforts for the reunion of Christendom, without departing from the ancient foundation of our One Orthodox Church.”1 Second, the WRV serves a missionary and evangelistic purpose. There are a great many non-Orthodox Christians who are “attracted by our Orthodox Faith, but could not find a congenial home in the spiritual world of Eastern Christendom.”2 Third, the WRV exists to be witness to Orthodox Christians themselves to the universality of the Or- thodox Catholic Faith – a Faith which is not narrowly Byzantine, Hellenistic, or Slavic (as is sometimes assumed by non-Orthodox and Orthodox alike) but is the fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for all men, in all places, at all times. In the words of Father Paul Schneirla, “the Western Rite restores the nor- mal cultural balance in the Church.

  • The Seven Sacraments Are: 1. Baptism 2. Confession 3. Holy Eucharist 4
    The seven Sacraments are: 1. Baptism 2. Confession 3. Holy Eucharist 4. Confirmation 5. Marriage 6. Holy Orders 7. Anointing of the Sick Each sacrament provides Grace, God's strength, to us during a different time in our life. Baptism, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation are the sacraments that make us become part of God's family. Together they are known as the Sacraments of Initiation. Baptism makes us adopted children of God. Holy Eucharist feeds us and strengthens us, helping us to become the person God created us to be. Confirmation is when God gives to us more Graces, more Gifts, through His Holy Spirit, so we can to do the work God created us to do. Holy Orders and the Sacrament of Marriage are meant to strengthen us as we choose a path of life that we will follow the rest of our lives. Holy Orders is for men only. It is the Sacrament that men receive when they become a Priest. As a Priest, they are set apart to live a life of service to anyone God sends to them. The Sacrament of Marriage is for men and women who choose to live no longer as a single person but become joined to each other in a union that will last until one of them dies. The Grace of this Sacrament helps each person give themselves totally to the other in the good times and bad times of life. Penance (or Reconciliation) and the Anointing of the Sick are the Sacraments of Healing. Penance allows us to make up with God for any wrong we have done to Him.

  • Rituals and Sacraments
    Rituals and Sacraments Rituals, Sacraments (Christian View) By Dr. Thomas Fisch Christians, like their Islamic brothers and sisters, pray to God regularly. Much like Islam, the most important Christian prayer is praise and thanksgiving given to God. Christians pray morning and evening, either alone or with others, and at meals. But among the most important Christian prayers are the community ritual celebrations known as "The Sacraments" [from Latin, meaning "signs"]. Christians also celebrate seasons and festival days [see Feasts and Seasons]. Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth, who taught throughout Galilee and Judea and who died on a cross, was raised from the dead by God in order to reveal the full extent of God's love for all human beings. Jesus reveals God's saving love through the Christian Scriptures (the New Testament) and through the community of those who believe in him, "the Church," whose lives and whose love for their fellow human beings are meant to be witnesses and signs of the fullness of God's love. Within the community of the Christian Church these important ritual celebrations of worship, the sacraments, take place. Their purpose is to build up the Christian community, and each individual Christian within it, in a way that will make the Church as a whole and all Christians more and more powerful and effective witnesses and heralds of God's love for all people and of God's desire to give everlasting life to all human beings. Each of the sacraments is fundamentally an action of worship and prayer. Ideally, each is celebrated in a community ritual prayer-action in which everyone present participates in worshipping God.

  • A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD
    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD Christ Church was founded in 1546, and there had been a college here since 1525, but prior to the Dissolution of the monasteries, the site was occupied by a priory dedicated to the memory of St Frideswide, the patron saint of both university and city. St Frideswide, a noble Saxon lady, founded a nunnery for herself as head and for twelve more noble virgin ladies sometime towards the end of the seventh century. She was, however, pursued by Algar, prince of Leicester, for her hand in marriage. She refused his frequent approaches which became more and more desperate. Frideswide and her ladies, forewarned miraculously of yet another attempt by Algar, fled up river to hide. She stayed away some years, settling at Binsey, where she performed healing miracles. On returning to Oxford, Frideswide found that Algar was as persistent as ever, laying siege to the town in order to capture his bride. Frideswide called down blindness on Algar who eventually repented of his ways, and left Frideswide to her devotions. Frideswide died in about 737, and was canonised in 1480. Long before this, though, pilgrims came to her shrine in the priory church which was now populated by Augustinian canons. Nothing remains of Frideswide’s nunnery, and little - just a few stones - of the Saxon church but the cathedral and the buildings around the cloister are the oldest on the site. Her story is pictured in cartoon form by Burne-Jones in one of the windows in the cathedral. One of the gifts made to the priory was the meadow between Christ Church and the Thames and Cherwell rivers; Lady Montacute gave the land to maintain her chantry which lay in the Lady Chapel close to St Frideswide’s shrine.

He also alleged a factwhich travelers have confirmed:In thevast Library there are no twoidentical books. From these two incontrovertiblepremises he deduced that the Libraryis totaland thatits shelves register all the possible combinations of the twenty-oddorthographical symbols (a numberwhich, although vast,is not infinite):in other words,all thatit is given to express,in all languages. Everything:the minutelydetailed historyof the future,the archangels' autobiographies,the faithfulcatalogue of the Library,thousands and thousands of false catalogues,the demonstrationof the fallacyof those catalogues,the demonstrationof the fallacyof the true catalogue, the Gnosticgospel of Basilides, the commentaryon thatgospel, the commentary on the commentaryon thatgospel, the true storyof your death, the translationof all books in all languages, the interpolationsof everybook in all books.

    OUR VISION: A world where people experience God’s love and are made whole. OUR MISSION: To share the love of Jesus through compassion, inclusivity, creativity and learning. Evensong 9 August 2018 5:15 p.m. Evensong Thursday in the Eleventh Week after Pentecost • 9 August 2018 • 5:15 pm Welcome to Grace Cathedral. Choral Evensong marks the end of the working day and prepares for the approaching night. The roots of this service come out of ancient monastic traditions of Christian prayer. In this form, it was created by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury in the 16th century, as part of the simplification of services within the newly-reformed Church of England. The Episcopal Church, as part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, has inherited this pattern of evening prayer. In this service we are invited to reflect on the business of the past day, to pray for the world and for ourselves, and to commend all into God’s hands as words of Holy Scripture are said and sung. The beauty of the music is offered to help us set our lives in the light of eternity; the same light which dwelt among us in Jesus, and which now illuminates us by the Spirit. May this service be a blessing to you. Voluntary Canzonetta William Mathias The people stand as the procession enters. The Invitatory and Psalter Opening Sentence Said by the officiant.

HE present work represents the fulfilment of the under­ T taking announced in the preface to 'Biblical E~says' a year and a half ago. As that volume consisted of introduc­ tory essays upon New Testament subjects, so this comprises such of Dr Lightfoot's notes on the text as in the opinion of the Trustees of the Lightfoot Fund are sufficiently complete to justify publication. However, unlike 'Biblical Essays,' of which a considerable part had already been given to the world, this volume, as its title-page indicates, consists entirely of unpublished matter. It aims at reproducing, wherever possible, the courses of lectures delivered at Cambridge by Dr Lightfoot upon those Pauline Epistles which he did not live to edit in the form of complete commentaries. His method of trustiqg to his memory in framing sentences in the lecture room has been alluded to already in the preface to the previous volume. But here again the Editor's difficulty has been considerably lessened by the kindness of friends who were present at the lectures and have placed their note­ books at the disposal of the Trustees. As on the previous occasion, the thanks of the Trustees are especially due to W.
