THE CHICAGO-LAMBETH QUADRILATERAL: DEVELOPMENT IN AN ANGLICAN APPROACH TO CHRISTIAN UNITY Robert B. Slocum Theology, Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI PRECIS The Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral has served as the primary reference point and working document of the Anglican Communion for ecumenical Christian reunion. It identifies four essential elements for Christian unity in terms of scriptures, creeds, sacraments, and the Historic Episcopate. The Quadrilateral is based on the ecumenical thought and leadership of William Reed Huntington, an Episcopal priest who proposed the Quadrilateral in his book The Church.Idea:/In Essay toward Unity (1870) and who was the moving force behind approval of the Quadrilateral by the House of Bishops of the 1886 General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church. It was subsequently approved with modifications by the Lambeth Conference of 1888 and finally reaffirmed in its Lambeth form by the General Convention of the Episcopal Church in 1895. The Quadrilateral has been at the heart of Anglican ecumenical discussions and relationships since its approval Interpretation of the meaning of the Quadrilateral has undergone considerable development in its more than 100-year history.

  • Pierre Ceresole a Lifetime Serving Peace
    Pierre Ceresole A lifetime serving Peace Bibliothèque de la Ville La Chaux-de-Fonds Service Civil International Pierre Ceresole (1879-1945) La Chaux-de-Fonds Bibliothèque de la ville, 25.9.2010-15.1.2011 The La Chaux-de-Fonds Municipal Library has joined forc- es with Service Civil International to put together an ex- hibition devoted to Pierre Ceresole, a pacifist personality who is nowadays little-known to the public at large. From the First World War on he worked unstintingly to try to set up a civilian service for conscientious objectors, going as far as to launch a Federal campaign (in Switzerland) in 1922/1923. We have to wait more than seventy years before a public service is set up which replaces military duties for people who officially declare themselves to be conscientious objectors. As a matter of fact, up until 1996 the latter are tried by Military Tribunal and sentenced to prison. We can now appreciate how far we have come since then. As part of SCI’s 90th anniversary, in ten display panels, the exhibition takes us through the main phases in the life of the militant pacifist. It also refers to a number of histori- cal landmarks in the development of conscientious objec- tion and non-violence. The personal accounts of volun- teers who have taken part in international voluntary work camps highlight Ceresole’s heritage. This brochure contains the content of the exhibition with additional information about Service Civil international and the La Chaux-de-Fonds Public Library. It includes as well a short biography of Pierre Ceresole, which shows his evolution to a radical pacifist.

  • Frederick Dennison MAURICE: Still a Prophetic Voice Today? a Paper for St Aidan’S Fellowship, November 2010 by Derek Pratt
    Frederick Dennison MAURICE: Still a prophetic voice today? A paper for St Aidan’s Fellowship, November 2010 By Derek Pratt I. Introduction If you are a regular Facebook user you will know that down the right hand side of the home page there are frequent advertisements for things such as how to flatten ones belly or quizzes to help understand ones self-development. Last year I answered a set of questions which then informed me that I would best fit into a Dominican monastery were I to a become a religious. A few weeks ago I found a quiz, which promised to tell me which Anglican theologian I was. After answering a set of ten questions it informed me that F. D. Maurice was the Anglican theologian I was closest to. My report stated: You are fully convinced that the Scriptures and the Fathers are important to Anglican life and witness. However, social justice is important to you, too - and social justice tends towards some sort of non-revolutionary socialism, and towards an emphasis upon education. Liturgy is at the Church's heart, and both it and the calendar ought to be taken more seriously. Taking these seriously, however, means neither detracting from them nor adding to them. Thus, you have a traditional but not excessively high view of aesthetics. The Gospel is about Christ, and Christ is about grace - perhaps even for all. Therefore, you believe, theology should begin with the Incarnation. Bishops are the successors of the apostles, but you like to remind your friends that the Church is also embedded within a larger political community whose stability it must help to secure.

  • ORDO 2020 Holy Cross Monastery Edition West Park, NY
    THE ORDER OF THE HOLY CROSS ORDO 2020 Holy Cross Monastery Edition West Park, NY The Ordo of the Order of the Holy Cross is the official calendar of feasts and fasts observed in our community along with their rank or degree of solemnity. This Ordo follows the calendar authorized by the Chapter of the Order in 2017. It may be used with The Monastic Breviary in either its 1976 or revised forms, with the service books published by the Camaldolese Benedictines, or with any other authorized form of the daily office. Observances listed as First Class feasts begin with First Vespers on the preceding evening and generally take precedence over all other observances. Second Class feasts do not have a First Vespers; their Vespers take precedence over the Saturday Vespers preceding an ordinary Sunday. Third Class feasts are observed with their own office, elements of which are taken either from the Proper or the Common of Saints in the service books used. Fourth Class feasts, also called Optional Commemorations, do not have their own office but may be commemorated at Matins [or Vigils and Lauds] and Vespers or observed at the Eucharist of the day or both. A table of such commemorations recently observed in our Order can be found at the end of this booklet. Local communities or households will need to determine if and how they wish to observe them. In this Ordo, First and Second Class feasts that are impeded are transferred to the next day of lesser rank. Local communities or households may choose to transfer them to some other available day in the week that follows their assigned date.

  • 1920 - 1970 the First Fifty Years of Service Civil International
    Bibliothéque de la Ville Contact Philipp Rodriguez Rue du Progrès 33 : Th.Kocher-Strasse 3 CH-2305 La Chaux-de-Fonds CH-2502 Biel/Bienne [email protected] 19. March 2001 1920 - 1970 The first fifty years of Service Civil International by Etienne Reclus, Paris Origins Since the beginning of this century men and women had been wondering about that rise in violence and asking themselves which action to take upon in order to avoid that such a wave would develop which would bring about total war. This is how some men and women especially in Great Britain, tried to create a chain of resistance and came in contact with pacifists from Germany, the USA etc... A rather important group was set up in Cambridge, Great Britain: some of its members, particularly in Britain, objected to their call-up-order. In 1919 the various groups met up again at Bilthoven in Holland, an estate which belonged to one of their friends, and that is where the International Movement for Reconciliation (IMR) was officially set up. Pierre Ceresole had been invited and there were his first contacts with the Quakers who had carried out many relief actions for the victims during and after the war. For him that meeting meant a decisive step in his life. As a Swiss citizen he had constantly been arguing against that war and feeling Indignant about the passivity of the Christian churches; he became a total pacifist which led him to spend many months in prison in Switzerland in order to demonstrate publicly the horror of that war.

  • The Sources and Structures of Authority in the Church by J
    The Sources and Structures of Authority in the Church by J. Robert Wright An Anglican paper for the second Anglican/Oriental Orthodox Forum at the Monastery of St. Bishoy, Wadi El Natrun, near Cairo, Egypt, March 12-18, 1990. VER THE PAST SEVERAL centuries of the history of Christianity in the West, there have been three major Christian Oanswers to the question of “authority,” all of which have had some following within the Anglican tradition as it has sought the proper and appropriate source in which Christian authority may be grounded. The first approach has been to locate authority within the Holy Scripture, as if the truth contained therein were univocally obvious to anyone who reads it. A second approach has been to find the source of authority within the individual testimony of the Holy Spirit as perceived by each true believer in prayer, who is in this way supposedly enabled by private guidance to distinguish among contradictory interpretations. And a third approach has resorted to the calm certainty afforded by the institutional church, which is thought by those who follow it to offer a collective wisdom that is presumably more objective. Variations on each of these approaches have been numerous, and the one most commonly cited as “Anglican” is most frequently labeled by the triad of scripture, tradition, and reason. The major discussion of authority in the reports to the Lambeth Conference of 1988 is based on it (pp. 99-105). In the Anglican use of this triad, holy scripture is generally understood as the fundamental source of Christian revelation, the new testament complementing and completing the old, then tradition as the gradual unfolding of the scriptural truth throughout the pages of history, and finally reason (including experience) as the most satisfactory way in which the former two sources can be appropriately evaluated and measured.

  • SCI's HISTORICAL BACKGROUND and DEVELOPMENT
    Bibliothéque de la Ville Coordinator: Philipp Rodriguez Rue du Progrès 33 Th.Kocher-Strasse 3 CH-2305 La Chaux-de-Fonds CH-2502 Biel/Bienne www.service-civil-international.org [email protected] SCI's HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT (Working paper from the report of the seminar: DEVELOPING DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION: SOLIDARITY WORK AND VOLUNTEER EXCHANGE". held in Bemburg - Northern Ireland - from 5 till 9 April 1987) (NB: A number of Ralph's significative comments have been added to the working paper.) Introduction This is a modest attempt to review SCI's history, its principles and its, in so many ways fascinating adaptation of practical activities to "needs of the time". It may be helpful to first throw a glimpse at the situation as it prevailed in Europe in the twenties: in the year after World-War-1st. All countries were in economic crisis, had shattered currencies and went through considerable political and cultural unrest. There was a widespread craze for speculations of all kind, leading in October 1929 to a crash at the New York stock exchange, followed by a general economic collapse with an unemployment rate of hitherto unknown dimensions: at that time without any State unemployment compensation. This meant horrible hardship for millions of workers, employees, workshop owners and shopkeepers. It also meant frantic attempts towards national self-sufficiency, full of hatred for anything so- called foreign, although exactly such chauvinistic attitudes had 15 years earlier let to the First World War and its consequences and with all its misery! As usual in such situations, a majority of people in nearly all-European countries was frustrated.

F.R.S.A. 392 Reviews and Notes 400 EDITORIAL Of our contributors Dr. Jenkins is minister-in-charge at Paddington Chapel, Dr. Cornick is chaplain at Robinson College, Cambridge. Professor Ferguson was until recently President of the Selly Oak Colleges and Professor Davie is at Vanderbilt University, Tennessee. Dr. Jenkins, Dr. Cornick and Professor Ferguson are contributing articles for the first time. The conversation between Dr. Jenkins and Professor Davie, which moves from Protestant aesthetics to Nonconformist poetics, introduces a tone new to the Journal, to which pure historians might object. It is to be hoped that the conversation will continue, perhaps on architecture, or music, or indeed that vanishing art-form, the sermon. Professor Ferguson also introduces a new note: that of reminiscence. His stance is in a firm tradition, not too far removed from that of William Baines.
