    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.
  • Runaway Wives: Husband Desertion in Medieval England

    Runaway Wives: Husband Desertion in Medieval England

    RUNAWAY WIVES: HUSBAND DESERTION IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND By Sara Butler Loyola University New Orleans Scholars of the medieval family would generally agree that the lot of the me- dieval wife was not an easy one. Medieval husbands held the upper hand in the power relationship, both legally and socially. Although Lawrence Stone's view of niarried life in the Middle Ages as "brutal and often hostile, with little communication, [and] much wife-beating" has since been called into question, more recent historians have still painted a somewhat unflattering picture.' Ju- dith Bennett writes that "[m]edieval people thought of conjugality as a hierar- chy headed by a husband who not only controlled his wife's financial assets and public behavior, but also freely enforced his will through physical violence."^ Indeed, she argues that wife-beating was "a normal part of marriage."^ Even Bar- bara Hanawalt, who has optimistically described peasant marriage in medieval England as a partnership, still concedes that occasional violence was acceptable and expected in marriage.'' What is more, the rules of coverture, which adhered to the biblical principal of husband and wife as one flesh represented at law by the husband, left a wife economically vulnerable. Because all real and movable property legally belonged to the husband as head of the household, a wife who fell out of favor with her husband might well find herself expelled from the family home, without any resources to fall back on.^ From a modern perspective, mari- tal practices hardly provided any sense of reassurance. At a time when families, more often than individuals, took the lead in spousal selection, and inheritance and status were the chief criteria, strong bonds of affection were not guaranteed.

    Learning from Creative Thinking and Planning for Rural Mission and Growth SUMMARY VERSION Learning from Creative Thinking and Planning for Rural Mission and Growth 2 Learning from Creative Thinking and Planning for Rural Mission and Growth INTRODUCTION Several rural areas in England have developed strategic approaches to mission and growth that are starting to show benefits. This document briefly outlines nine examples of good practice, offering useful ideas and approaches that could be deployed in other rural places. These nine case studies have been drawn together from some of the contributions to a Renewal & Reform seminar on Rural Mission and Growth that took place in February 2018. These studies have been summarised from a much longer document, containing many more useful details, which can be found at www.churchofengland.org/rural Our rural church is showing that with prayer, listening, careful focus on what God is prompting, reflection and action, positive changes can come that will enable more people to come to know God in their lives. Change takes time and patience, there are barriers that need to be overcome, and some things will not work first time or even at all. These nine examples illustrate the diversity of approaches to enabling and developing mission and growth in rural communities. One size does not fit all. It is important to play to the strengths of clergy and congregations. Being strategic is not a bar to the Holy Spirit. All nine case studies reflect a mixed economy approach to parish ministry, with new approaches sitting alongside existing Sunday worship. Strategic Development Fund investment has been important for only two of the initiatives.

    Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021

    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement.

    Leominster Team Rector Team Profile, April 2021

    Leominster Team Rector Team Profile, April 2021 Leominster Priory Choir The Wisdom of Winnie the Pooh: Pudleston’s 2019 Flower Festival 1 Leominster Team Profile Welcome from the Deanery Leadership Team The Diocese of Hereford is one of the most rural in the Church of England, and Leominster Deanery is no exception. We comprise five rural benefices plus the Leominster Team Ministry, stretching as the crow flies nearly 18 miles from the Welsh border across the northern reaches of Herefordshire into Worcestershire and over 20 miles from Leintwardine on the Shropshire border to Pipe-cum-Lyde on the northern outskirts of Hereford. Ours has been a forward-thinking Deanery, leading the way in collaborative ministry, new vocations and fulfilment of parish offer. But it is a time of transition; as well as the appoint- ment of a new rector to the Leominster Team, two new benefices joined us on 1 April 2021. These changes provide an opportunity to work together with the newly formed Deanery Leadership Team, creating a new Mission Action Plan and Deanery Pastoral Scheme, and re-examining the best models for joint ministry across the Leominster Team. The clergy chapter currently meets about ten times a year, as well as meetings which include the Deanery Lay Co-Chair, Deanery Leadership Team, Readers and other licenced lay ministers. Once or twice a year (when pre-Covid arrangements resume) there is a social event to which clergy with PTOs and their spouses/partners are also invited. The Diocese of Hereford operates on a ‘parish offer’ model, and the total offer budgeted by the deanery for 2021 is £363,111.

Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

    Appointment of Team Rector for the West Hereford Team Ministry 2020 Parish Profile and Statement of Needs !1 The West Hereford Team Ministry: All Saints, St Nicholas, and Holy Trinity, Hereford and St Michael’s, Breinton Foreword from Bishop Richard Jackson. “Thank you for your interest in the post of Team Rector for West Hereford. This is an exciting opportunity for the right person. I shall be looking for someone who can inhabit the range of Anglican worship you find in the team; who can work in a genuine collaborative spirit with clergy and lay colleagues and can love people before trying to change them. We need someone with a heart of mission and who longs to see young and old come to living faith in Jesus Christ and be supported on their journey of discipleship. Like many (most?) churches in our diocese the team faces demographic and financial challenges. However, the folk are in good heart and have benefited from many years of fruitful ministry enabling the sort of deep discipleship that is communicated in the parish profile. The Diocese of Hereford is a friendly place. It is geographically large, but at 326,000 has the smallest population in the Church of England. A fifth of them live in Hereford! We see parish ministry as the centre of the diocese and are seeking to ensure all our clergy are well supported and cared for so they can minister fruitfully. It is important to us that we genuinely work together. The challenges we face are too much for individual parishes to go it alone.
