    THE BOOK OF ARMAGH BY THE REV. CANON W.E.C. FLEMING, M.A. SOMETIME INCUMBENT OF TARTARAGHAN AND DIAMOND AND CHANCELLOR OF ARMAGH CATHEDRAL 2013 The eighth and ninth centuries A.D. were an unsettled period in Irish history, the situation being exacerbated by the arrival of the Vikings1 on these shores in 795, only to return again in increasing numbers to plunder and wreak havoc upon many of the church settlements, carrying off and destroying their treasured possessions. Prior to these incursions the country had been subject to a long series of disputes and battles, involving local kings and chieftains, as a result of which they were weakened and unable to present a united front against the foreigners. According to The Annals of the Four Masters2, under the year 800 we find, “Ard-Macha was plundered thrice in one month by the foreigners, and it had never been plundered by strangers before.” Further raids took place on at least seven occasions, and in 941 they record, “Ard-Macha was plundered by the same foreigners ...” It is, therefore, rather surprising that in spite of so much disruption in various parts of the country, there remained for many people a degree of normality and resilience in daily life, which enabled 1 The Vikings, also referred to as Norsemen or Danes, were Scandinavian seafarers who travelled overseas in their distinctive longships, earning for themselves the reputation of being fierce warriors. In Ireland their main targets were the rich monasteries, to which they returned and plundered again and again, carrying off church treasures and other items of value.

  • The Goverence and Organisation of the Church of Ireland
    The Governance and Organisation of the Church of Ireland WHO ARE WE? The Church of Ireland belongs to the world- wide church known as the Anglican Communion. The Anglican church across the world has over 80 million members in over 160 countries. The Church of Ireland is an Episcopal church, which means that it is governed by a body of bishops. In the USA the Anglican church is known as the Episcopal Church. WHERE DID WE COME FROM? The Church of Ireland is so named as it covers the whole island of Ireland and until 1870 was the established church in Ireland - established by an act of parliament. As such it had a privileged position and was supported and financed by every citizen in the land irrespective of their religious affiliation. In 1870 the Church was DISESTABLISHED and since then has been fully independent of status and state support. WHO’S THE BOSS? The Most Rev. A.E.T. Harper, OBE, BA Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland The Archbishop of Armagh - currently The Most Reverend A.E.T. Harper, O.B.E., B.A. - is the head of the Church of Ireland and is known as the Primate of All Ireland. St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Armagh Armagh is the ecclesiastical (or church) capital of Ireland ever since St Patrick set up his headquarters there in the fifth century. Thus the Cathedral there is dedicated to St Patrick. 1 How is the Church organised? The island of Ireland is divided by the Church into TWO Provinces - The Northern Province of ARMAGH, and the Southern Province of DUBLIN.

  • CNI -March 26
    March 26 ! CNI Two retired bishops who had served in Londonderry received the freedom of the city ! Retired Derry bishops receive freedom of the city Catholic bishop Dr Edward Daly and his Church of Ireland counterpart James Mehaffey were praised for their cross community leadership. They were honoured by the council as ‘leaders of our society’. The former Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, Dr James Mehaffey, has spoken of his pride at being granted the Freedom of the City of Derry, along with his long–time friend, retired Bishop of Derry Dr Edward Daly. The ceremony, in Londonderry’s Guildhall, was one of the last [email protected] Page !1 March 26 formal acts by Derry City Council before it merges with neighbouring Strabane next month. Representatives of the four main political parties were in the chamber, with councillors joined by the Foyle MP Mark Durkan, the Nobel peace laureate John Hume, the Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and members of the Mehaffey and Daly families. The recipients’ successors, Bishop Ken Good and Bishop Donal McKeown, were also in attendance, along with leading figures from the civic life. It was a doubly historic occasion, with the formal presentation being made by the last ever Mayor of the city, Councillor Brenda Stevenson. Bishop Mehaffey told the meeting that he was a Freeman of the City of London, “but being a Freeman of the City of Derry means so much more”. He thanked Bishop Daly for his friendship and support over the last 35 years. “During my entire episcopal ministry in the Diocese, Bishop Daly has been a true friend and colleague.

  • Leaving Certificate History Case Study
    LEAVING CERTIFICATE HISTORY CASE STUDY Meiler Magrath’s Clerical Career EARLY MODERN IRELAND: TOPIC 2 REBELLION AND CONQUEST IN ELIZABETHAN IRELAND, 1558-1603 A resource for teachers of Leaving Certificate History, developed by the National Library of Ireland in association with the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment Written by: Dr Brian Kirby Steering Committee: Dr Ciaran Brady, Mr John Dredge, Dr Noel Kissane, Mr Gerry Lyne Contents Introduction 3 Biographical Notes 6 Glossary 9 List of abbreviations 11 Chronology of Meiler Magrath's life 12 Documents used in case study 14 Documents 16 2 Introduction Meiler Magrath was one of the most prominent and controversial figures of Elizabethan Ireland. He was born into a Gaelic ecclesiastical family in Fermanagh. His kin held the territory of *Termon Magrath which included St. Patrick’s Purgatory on Lough Derg. Meiler became a Franciscan friar and in October 1565 he was appointed bishop of Down and Connor by the Pope. Soon afterwards, however, he was captured by the English, took the oath of supremacy and conformed to Protestantism. Even though the exact circumstances of his conversion remain unknown, it is clear that Queen Elizabeth had enough faith in Magrath to appoint him bishop of Clogher in 1570 and promote him to the archbishopric of Cashel five months later. During his long clerical career he also received appointments to the bishoprics of Waterford and Lismore and Killala and Achonry. However, this brief sketch of Magrath’s life does little justice to a man who became an extremely influential political figure in the latter years of Elizabeth’s reign.

  • Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    National Archives Church of Ireland Parish Registers SURROGATES This listing of Church of Ireland parochial records available in the National Archives is not a list of original parochial returns. Instead it is a list of transcripts, abstracts, and single returns. The Parish Searches consist of thirteen volumes of searches made in Church of Ireland parochial returns (generally baptisms, but sometimes also marriages). The searches were requested in order to ascertain whether the applicant to the Public Record Office of Ireland in the post-1908 period was entitled to an Old Age Pension based on evidence abstracted from the parochial returns then in existence in the Public Record Office of Ireland. Sometimes only one search – against a specific individual – has been recorded from a given parish. Multiple searches against various individuals in city parishes have been recorded in volume 13 and all thirteen volumes are now available for consultation on six microfilms, reference numbers: MFGS 55/1–5 and MFGS 56/1. Many of the surviving transcripts are for one individual only – for example, accessions 999/562 and 999/565 respectively, are certified copy entries in parish registers of baptisms ordered according to address, parish, diocese; or extracts from parish registers for baptismal searches. Many such extracts are for one individual in one parish only. Some of the extracts relate to a specific surname only – for example accession M 474 is a search against the surname ”Seymour” solely (with related names). Many of the transcripts relate to Church of Ireland parochial microfilms – a programme of microfilming which was carried out by the Public Record Office of Ireland in the 1950s.

  • A Conversation with Church of Ireland Bishop of Clogher, Most Reverend
    ENNISKILLEN LISBELLAW Volume 2, Issue 1 NEWSLETTER October 2020 The Editorial Team had originally planned this edition for Easter. It never happened. I took the hard decision to close our parish churches after St Patrick’s Day. I wondered if we were doing the right thing. Was it too drastic a decision? And then came lockdown: confined to barracks apart from an hour a day. It was a challenge to peace of mind, to peace in the home. I remember being able to hear the clock ticking in the parochial house kitchen. Then we opened for personal prayer.
