IT is pleasant to come back for a while from the troubled scene at Oxford to the quiet of Hursley, a quiet which however was full of hope and activity. I have already given a general account of what the benefice, which Keble was now the incumbent of, consisted. The Vicarage of Hursley is of large ex tent, including several hamlets, and having a scat tered population. Otterbourne is less in size and po pulation, but its population also is scattered, and for the most part living at a distance from the church, which was far too small for its numbers. When Keble entered on his charge, he found the inha bitants of Otterbourne busy in endeavouring to add to it an aisle ; the Bishop had recommended them to wait until the new Rector had been instituted, and they had done so. When the matter came be fore him, their views had enlarged, and in con sideration of the great inconvenience of the situa tion, aggravated now by the Railway having been 28o Memoir of the Rev. John Kcble. carried near to it, they desired, and he with some regret acceded to, the erection of a new church ort a more convenient site ; he was unwilling to sepa rate the church and churchyard, from a feeling which one cannot but sympathize with ; but he yielded to the general wish, preserving, however, the old chancel for the performance of the Burial Service. He con tributed ^400 towards the erection of the new church, on a site which was given for the purpose by the President and Fellows of Magdalen College, Oxford, who are landholders in the parish. Keble had the good fortune to find among the re sidents in Otterbourne a relation of mine, William Crawley Yonge, who having served in the Peninsula and at Waterloo in the distinguished 52nd, had re tired from the army upon his marriage at the re- establishment of the general peace ; though a Light Infantry officer only, he had been a diligent student of military engineering, and had made himself a good military draughtsman. He became Keble's archi tect : for his designs he had recourse to the great examples at Winchester, and in its neighbourhood, and worked out his drawings with infinite care and patience; he brought his stone from Caen, at that time a rather unusual thing ; was acute and intel ligent in making his contracts, and vigilant in see ing to their faithful execution. The result was a church not without its faults, and thirty years ago few churches were built without them, (not many Otterbourne Church. 281 indeed now,) but effective in its architectural cha racter, and on the whole, with reference to its date, convenient in its arrangements. Keble of course considered a parsonage necessary to complete his designs for the parish ; accordingly he purchased a site, and, with the same help from the same archi tect, erected a handsome and commodious residence for the Curate whom he placed there ; these last measures were at his sole expense. While the Otterbourne Church was in course of erection, Sir William Heathcote was busy in pre paring for building, entirely at his own expense, a second church in Hursley parish, at Ampfield ; and this was also undertaken and executed by the same volunteer architect, with at least equal suc cess. I take pleasure in recording these labours of the retired soldier, performed at a time when regularly trained architects were not so numerous as now, and when the principles of architecture, and their application, were comparatively little studied. The works too were performed without ostentation, and with most commendable patience and zeal. I should add that in respect of both these churches, W. C. Yonge was assisted as to some details by Mr. Carter, now deceased, then an architect residing at Winchester. The situation of Ampfield Church is very beau tiful, and that of the churchyard remarkably so, sheltered on the north and east by wood and wood 282 Memoir of the Rev. John Keble. land, open on the south and west, and commanding a beautiful and extensive view ; flourishing ever greens adorn it ; the road from Winchester to Rom- sey runs by the open side, which gives a special ap propriateness to a fountain surmounted by a cross, which is close to one of the entrances to the church yard ; it bears the inscription following : — " While cooling waters here ye drink, Rest not your thoughts below ; Look to the sacred sign, and think Whence living waters flow ; Then fearlessly advance by night or day, The holy Cross stands guardian of your way." Many years have passed since I stood on this spot, but I remember well, that even with the close neighbourhood of a turnpike road, the prevailing character of the whole scene was one of solemn rest, and almost seclusion; the dark background of foliage perhaps helps to produce this effect. A very short inscription on the basin into which the water pours, in German character, and German words, headed with the initials of three names, hardly serves to convey information to the common way faring man, that it was placed there in memory of a holy fountain seen by the three friends when on a tour together in the Tyrol. One of these three, Lady Heathcote, for I will take leave to add her name, furnished the inscription which I have printed, above. Ampfield Church. 2S3 Mr. Savage, from whose work I have freely re freshed my memory, mentions the placing in the church of a stained - glass window in memory of John Keble ; it is the gift of the parishioners, and records their grateful remembrance of his services ; the design was given by Mr. Butterfield, and £25 out of £33, the cost of the window, were returned by Mr. Wailes to the Keble College Fund. These are, it may be, little facts, but I do not like to pass them over in silence. The building of Ampfield Church, and the con stitution of a separate district for it, relieved Keble from a considerable part of his burthen, the whole of which was too heavy to be borne by a single pastor ; and he no doubt gladly consented, by the apportion ment of part of the rent-charge of the Vicarage, to lay the foundation of an endowment for the new district.

  • One Baptism, One Hope in God's Call
    A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDING OFFICERS OF THE GENERAL CONVENTION Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: As your Presiding Officers we appointed the Special Commission on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion late in 2005. The Special Commission was asked to prepare the way for a consideration by the 75th General Convention of recent developments in the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion with a view to maintaining the highest degree of communion possible. They have admirably discharged this very weighty task. With our deep thanks to them we commend their report to you. Here we would like to make three observations. First, though this document is a beginning point for legislative decisions—and indeed includes eleven resolutions—it is first and foremost a theological document. Its primary focus is on our understanding of our participation as members of the Anglican Communion in God’s Trinitarian life and God’s mission to which we are called. Second, the report is intended as the beginning point for a conversation that will take place in Columbus under the aegis of the Holy Spirit. That is, it is intended to start the conversation and not conclude it: the Commission has seen itself as preparing the General Convention to respond in the wisest possible ways. Again, we thank the members of the Special Commission who have been servants of this process of discernment. Third, following up on the careful work done by the Commission, the General Convention is now invited into the Windsor Process and the further unfolding of our common life together in the Anglican Communion.

  • “Making Church of England Poetical” Ephraim and the Oxford Movement
    Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies, Vol. 2.1, 111–129 © 1999 [2010] by Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute and Gorgias Press “MAKING CHURCH OF ENGLAND POETICAL” EPHRAIM AND THE OXFORD MOVEMENT GEOFFREY ROWELL BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE BISHOPSWOOD END, KINGSWOOD RISE ENGLAND [1] In 1966 Donald Allchin gave a paper at an Oxford symposium entitled “The theological vision of the Oxford Movement,” in which he explored the important unpublished series of lectures by Pusey dating from 1836, entitled “On Types & Prophecies.” A footnote to the published volume of the conference papers acknowledges with gratitude Robert Murray’s comment about the Semitic quality of Pusey’s thought, suggesting that it was reminiscent of the Syrian Fathers, even more than the Greek. Allchin notes there that Father R. M. Benson, a close disciple of Pusey and the founder of the The Society of St. John the Evangelist (“the Cowley Fathers”), the first religious community for men in the Church of England, was also a theologian who “was first of all a Hebraist, and then a patristic scholar.” This same footnote contains the words: “The possibility of a direct influence of St. Ephrem the Syrian on Pusey would be worth investigating.”1 This might be regarded as the starting-point for the present paper. 1 A.

  • Oxford Movement
    Oxford Movement This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on theLearn talk more The Oxford Movement was a movement of High Church members of the Church of England which eventually developed into Anglo-Catholicism. The movement, whose original devotees were mostly associated with the University of Oxford, argued for the reinstatement of some older Christian traditions of faith and their inclusion into Anglican liturgy and theology. They thought of Anglicanism as one of three branches of the "one holy, catholic, and apostolic" Christian church. By the 1840s many participants decided that the Anglican Church lacked grace, and converted to Roman Catholicism. Edward John Henry Bouverie Newman Pusey The movement's philosophy was known as Tractarianism after its series of publications, the Tracts for the Times, published from 1833 to 1841. Tractarians were also disparagingly referred to as "Newmanites" (before 1845) and "Puseyites" (after 1845) after two prominent Tractarians, John Henry Newman and Edward Bouverie Pusey. Other well-known Tractarians included John Keble, Charles Marriott, Richard Froude, Robert Wilberforce, Isaac Williams and William Palmer. Origins and early period In the early nineteenth century, different groups were present in the Church of England. Many, particularly in high office, saw themselves as latitudinarian (liberal) in an attempt to broaden the Church's appeal. Conversely, many clergy in the parishes were Evangelicals, as a result of the revival led by John Wesley. Alongside this, the universities became the breeding ground for a movement to restore liturgical and devotional customs which borrowed heavily from traditions before the English Reformation as well as contemporary Roman Catholic traditions.[1] The immediate impetus for the Tractarian movement was a perceived attack by the reforming Whig administration on the structure and revenues of the Church of Ireland (the established church in Ireland), with the Irish Church Temporalities Bill (1833).

Morgan, B.S., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2013 ABSTRACT CIRCUMCISION OF THE SPIRIT IN THE SOTERIOLOGY OF CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA Jonathan S. Morgan, B.S., M.A. Marquette University, 2013 In this dissertation I argue that Cyril of Alexandria’s interpretation of “spiritual circumcision” provides invaluable insight into his complex doctrine of salvation. Spiritual Circumcision – or Circumcision by the Spirit -- is a recurring theme throughout his extensive body of exegetical literature, which was written before the Nestorian controversy (428). When Cyril considers the meaning and scope of circumcision, he recognizes it as a type that can describe a range of salvific effects. For him, circumcision functions as a unifying concept that ties together various aspects of salvation such as purification, sanctification, participation, and freedom. Soteriology, however, can only be understood in relation to other doctrines. Thus, Cyril’s discussions of circumcision often include correlative areas of theology such as hamartiology and Trinitarian thought. In this way, Cyril’s discussions on circumcision convey what we are saved from, as well as the Trinitarian agency of our salvation.

The sermon is remembered now largely because John Henry Newman, who was vicar of St Mary’s at the time,3 regarded it as the beginning of the Oxford Movement. Generally regarded as stretching from 1833 to Newman’s conversion to Rome in 1845, the movement was an effort to return the Church of England to her historic roots, as expressed in 1 Work on this essay was made possible by East Texas Baptist University’s Faculty Research Grant program and the Jim and Ethel Dickson Research and Study Endowment.

  • An Eirenicon
    THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND A PORTION OF CHRIST’S ONE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH, AND A MEANS OF RESTORING VISIBLE UNITY. AN EIRENICON, In a Letter TO THE AUTHOR OF “THE CHRISTIAN YEAR.” BY E. B. PUSEY, D.D., REGIUS PROFESSOR OF HEBREW, AND CANON OF CHRIST CHURCH, OXFORD. NEW YORK: D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, 1866 Project Canterbury AD 2003 An Eirenicon, by Edward Bouverie Pusey (1866) MY DEAREST FRIEND, You think that, Dr. Manning’s last letter having been addressed to myself, it is desirable that I should in some way reply to it. It would cost me much, not to undertake any task which you might wish me to essay. You know how long it has been my wish to part with all controversy, and to consecrate the evening of my life to the unfolding of some of the deep truths of God’s Holy Word, as God might enable me, by aid of those whom He has taught in times past. This employment, and practical duties which God has brought to me, were my ideal of the employments of the closing years of a laborious life. The inroad made upon the Gospel by unbelievers, or half-believers, compelled me in part to modify this my hope. Still, since there is a common foe, pressing alike upon all who believe in Jesus, I the more hoped, at least, to be freed from any necessity of controversy with any who hold the Catholic faith. The recent personal appeal of Dr. Manning to myself seems, as you and other friends think, to call for an exception to this too; yet, since “the night cometh when no man can work,” I trust that I shall not be thought to shrink from duty, if, hereafter, I should maintain a silence, in order to give myself to that which seems to me more especially my calling.

  • Guide to the Archives (Pdf)
    Welcome to Keble College Archives Guide to the Archives The Holdings Keble College was founded in 1870 in memory of John Keble (1792-1866), a founding member of the Tractarian movement, also known as the Oxford Movement, which sought to recover the Catholic heritage of the Church of England. Whilst relatively young by Oxford standards, the College’s history and importance should not be underestimated. Its archival holdings bear witness to changes in the College, the University and in British society. The Archives are a rich resource for research, especially for current students. For those reading History, English or Theology, the Archives could be a fount of valuable primary source material. Among the records of Keble College held here are: Minutes of the meetings of the College Council from 1870 to 1950 College accounts and ledgers Historical material on the advowsons of which Keble College is the patron Records of JCR sports clubs and societies Architectural records, including the original designs by the architect William Butterfield Personal papers and memorabilia of key members of the Oxford Movement, including Canon H. P. Liddon and Dr E. B. Pusey Personal papers and memorabilia of members of the College. One collection of international importance held at Keble College is that relating to John Keble, father of the Oxford Movement. The material held here includes: Keble’s manuscripts of poems that became The Christian Year Correspondence between John Keble and his family, friends and associates, in particular, with John Henry Newman, 1829-1863. The Special Collections in Keble College Library also holds John Keble’s own personal library.

  • The Oxford Architectural and Historical Society and the Oxford Movement
    The Oxford Architectural and Historical Society and the Oxford Movement By S. L. OLLARD (Read before the Society, 31 May, 1939) y the Oxford Movement I understand the religious revival which began B with John Keble's sermon on National Apostasy preached in St. Mary's on 14 July, 1833. The strictly Oxford stage of that Movement, its first chapter, ended in 1845 with the degradation of W. G. Ward in February and the secession to Rome of Mr. Newman and his friends at Littlemore in the following October. I am not very much concerned in this paper with the story after that date, though I have pursued it in the printed reports and other sources up to 1852. The Oxford Movement was at base a moral movement. The effect of 18th century speculation and of the French Revolution had been to force men's minds back to first principles. Reform had begun. In England it had shaken the foundations of the existing parliamentary system, and the Church itself seemed in danger of being reformed away. Some of its supposed safeguards, e.g., the penal laws against Nonconformists and Roman Catholics, had been removed, yet abuses, pluralism and non-residence for instance, remained ob­ vious weaknesses. Meanwhile, most of its official defenders were not armed with particularly spiritual weapons. The men of the Oxford Movement were con­ vinced of a great truth, namely that the English Church was a living part of the one Holy Catholic Church: that it was no state-created body, but part of the Society founded by the Lord Himself with supernatural powers and super­ natural claims.

To read The Oxford Handbook of the Oxford Movement more or less from cover to cover has been a hugely rewarding experience, even though I am no stranger to its subject matter – the history and writings of the movement that cam- paigned to revive a catholic theology, practice and sensibility within the Church of England in the middle decades of the nineteenth century. In engag- ing with this book I am, in a sense, coming home. John Keble’s parochial ministry, John Henry Newman’s epistemology and ecclesiology, and Edward Bouverie Pusey’s sacramental and ecumenical theology have been deeply for- mative for me. And that is the spirit (or ethos in Tractarian-speak, as James Pereiro has shown)1 in which I approach this estimable example of the Oxford Handbook genre. The Oxford (or Tractarian) Movement was a creative upsurge of theological, pastoral and liturgical renewal which lasted from its arresting beginning with John Keble’s Assize Sermon and the first Tracts for the Times in 1833 to John 1 James Pereiro, ‘Ethos’ and the Oxford Movement: At the Heart of Tractarianism (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008). © paul avis, 2020 | doi:10.1163/17455316-01602007 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the cc by 4.0Downloaded License.
