  • 1 the Revival of Benedictinism Within the Anglican Communion: Its
    The Revival of Benedictinism within the Anglican Communion: its origins and development within three monastic communities. By Philip John Bewley, 2009 Introduction Lord Carey of Clifton, former Archbishop of Canterbury, once described the existence of monastic and other religious communities as “the best kept secret in the Church of England”.1 Even among the majority of Anglicans today, all monks and nuns are presumed to be Roman Catholic, and many Anglicans would be very surprised to learn otherwise. However, since Marian Hughes made her profession in 1841, male and female religious have existed in the Anglican Communion. More importantly, male religious following the Rule of Benedict emerged on Caldey Island in 1896 and female religious at Baltonsborough in 1906, later moving to West Malling in 1916. With the birth of these two religious communities, Benedictinism and monastic life was finally restored to Anglicanism. In this paper I will present an overview of the restoration of Benedictine monasticism within the Anglican Communion, detailing the various strands which brought this revival into existence. Thereafter three particular Anglican communities will be studied, namely the Benedictines of Caldey Island; the monastic community which has lived at Pershore, Nashdom and Elmore respectively; and the female community which resides at Malling Abbey. This overview will look at their respective beginnings and ongoing development, and will offer a critique of the Benedictine movement as it has stood within Anglicanism. It is my premise that the movement at various points in its development has moved towards an overtly Anglo-Papalist agenda, and only by embracing its Anglican identity, which by its very nature is steeped in Benedictinism, has it been embraced by mainstream Anglicanism.

  • Dom Gregory Dix – Reshaped
    Homo Eucharisticus: Dom Gregory Dix – Reshaped David John Fuller, B Sc, B Th Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theology and Religious Studies University of Glasgow December 2013 Copyright © David Fuller, 2013 Homo Eucharisticus: Dom Gregory Dix – Reshaped 2 ABSTRACT In his book The Shape of the Liturgy Dom Gregory Dix coined the phrase ‘Eucharistic man’. In a speech to clergy Archbishop Rowan Williams remarked that Homo Eucharisticus, his Latinised version of Dix’s words, was, ‘a new human species who makes sense of the world in the presence of the risen Jesus at his table’. This thesis will seek to define what is specifically meant by the term Homo Eucharisticus and to indicate that, in a very real sense, Dix is Homo Eucharisticus, understood in his life, vocation, and his primary scholarship as it is centred on The Shape of the Liturgy. I shall demonstrate that Dix’s theology was Incarnational and that his Trinitarian understanding was based on the precept of a ‘Spiritual-Logos’. I shall examine these concepts in the context of Dix’s experience and personality. I shall assess the historical, intellectual and theological influences that helped to shape his life and vocation, and explore his Anglican identity as a priest, a scholar and a member of a religious community. I shall explain Dix’s creative understanding of the Trinitarian nature of the Eucharist and determine that he was a noteworthy theologian of major significance. I shall include studies of his writings on the Ministry of the Church and his major liturgical works The Apostolic Tradition of Saint Hippolytus and The Shape of the Liturgy.

  • The Benedictine Spirit in Anglicanism by Robert Hale, O.S.B
    The Benedictine Spirit in Anglicanism by Robert Hale, O.S.B. It is impossible to set precise limits to the extension, influence and expressions of the Benedictine spirit. Benedictinism, as the abbots themselves have acknowledged, has expressed itself in 'great diversity ... in a wide variety of forms.' St John's Collegeville is quite different from New Camaldoli which differs notably from Mount Saviour, etc. Yet all these communities are Benedictine, at least in the fundamental sense that they all seek to follow the Rule, which in its flexibility and 'indetermination offers the possibility of many adaptations.' And in the broader sense of the spirit of the Rule, one can argue that the Benedictine ethos extends quite beyond cloister limits to inspire a variety of forms of Christian living. The Anglican spiritual theologian Martin Thornton, for instance, insists that 'the genius of St Benedict cannot be confined within the walls of Monte Cassino or any other monastery; the Regula is not only a system of monastic order, it is a system of ascetical theology, the basis of which is as applicable to modern England as it was to sixth century Italy.' Can the Benedictine spirit even inspire and characterize a Church as such, In deed an entire communion of Churches? Several Anglican theologians respond affirmatively in reference to their own Communion. This article proposes to examine this thesis and to offer some Roman Catholic reflections about its ecumenical implications in general and some Benedictine thoughtsabout its challenge specifically to the Benedictine world. A Church of Continuities Most Roman Catholics probably still think of the Anglican Church (in the United States known as the Episcopal Church) as arising in the sixteenth century and as a direct consequence of certain marital problems of Henry VIII.

  • “I Am Delighted by the Opportunity to Learn About Maria Gabriella and Her Remarkable Life, So Poignantly Documented in Her Letters and in the Notebooks of Mother Pia
    “I am delighted by the opportunity to learn about Maria Gabriella and her remarkable life, so poignantly documented in her letters and in the notebooks of Mother Pia. Lavich’s English translation flows smoothly, and I found myself easily caught up in the gripping events of her life. The book was difficult to put down, as I felt simultaneously dismayed yet joyful, but most of all compelled to continue forward on my own spiritual journey. As a researcher of Italian female saints, this book is a must-read. If you love saints, then you’ll love this book.” — Molly Morrison Associate Professor of Italian Ohio University “Add Blessed Maria Gabriella to the list of great monastic letter writers of the twentieth century like Merton and Leclercq. In this volume of her letters she emerges from the cloister with the clarity, sensitivity, and preciousness of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. One need not be a monastic to fall under her spell of love and devotion to both God and the monastic way of life.” — Deacon Mark Plaiss Author of No End to the Search: Experiencing Monastic Life monastic wisdom series: number fifty-seven The Letters of Blessed Maria Gabriella with the Notebooks of Mother Pia Gullini Translated by David Lavich, OCSO Bl.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Provenance and Purpose of Personal Ordinariates Erected under the Auspices of the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus A DISSERTATION SubmiFed to the Faculty of the School of Canon Law Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctorate in Canon Law © Copyright All Rights Reserved By James Daniel Bradley Washington, D.C. 2017 The Provenance and Purpose of Personal Ordinariates Erected under the Auspices of the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus James Daniel Bradley, J.C.D. Director: Kurt Martens, J.C.D. The apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus is a response to petitions from groups of Anglicans to be received into communion with the Holy See in a corporate manner. This dissertation examines the origin of such petitions, the development of the principles guiding the response, and an analysis of the legislation. Chapter One traces the origins of corporate reunion from Newman to the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, in particular the Association for Promoting the Unity of Christendom and the Malines Conversations. Chapter Two discusses the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council with respect to ecumenism and Anglicanism. It examines the establishment of relations between Anglicans and the Holy See, the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC), and proposals for the corporate reunion of Anglicans in the Diocese of Amritsar, the United States, the Diocese of Matabeleland, and the United Kingdom. Chapter Three considers the overtures made by groups of Anglicans from 2005 to 2009. This includes the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), Church of England bishops, and the Traditional Anglican Communion.
