AUGUST 2018.Indd 2 3 Services & Music August 2018 Welcome from the Dean Welcome to Christ Church Cathedral, a house of learning and house of prayer, at the heart of the City of Oxford. Christ Church is a constituent college of the University of Oxford. As well as being a College, Christ Church is the Cathedral Church of the Diocese of Oxford, which covers the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. First established in 1525, Christ Church is one of Oxford’s largest colleges. Its name in Latin is Ædes Christi, meaning ‘house of Christ’, and the foundation is thus sometimes known as ‘The House’. As a foundation, it is unique, comprising a College, Cathedral and Choir School – and of course a world-class Cathedral Choir, with a reputation for some of the world’s finest music. This booklet lists the music for all our services this month. You are welcome to join in the hymns – and listen to the psalms, chants and anthems – as you participate in worship with us. We hope and pray that your time here will be moving and uplifting – one of blessing and peace, and of spiritual nourishment and comfort. St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) wrote that ‘singing belongs to one who loves’. Our prayer – for each and every one who joins us here for worship – is that in the singing and music, you will not only hear the love of God proclaimed in the beauty of worship, but will also hear something of God’s love for each and all proclaimed to you. As the Prophet Zephaniah says: ‘The LORD your God dwells with you. God is a mighty saviour. He will rejoice over you with gladness. He will calm you with His love. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.’ (Zephaniah 3: 17) May God bless you here at Christ Church, as you join us for worship.

  • Studies in the Book of Common Prayer
    Studies in the Book of Common Prayer Author(s): Luckock, Herbert Mortimer, 1833-1909 Publisher: Longmans, Green, and Co. Description: The Book of Common Prayer is the service guide used by the Catholic church for worship, sacraments, ordinations, etc. It was first written by Thomas Cranmer in 1549 under Edward VI of England. In 1881 Herbert Luckock published Studies in the Book of Common Prayer, a historical look at the evolution of the book, which has been revised and reprin- ted many times. He chronicles the Anglican Reform, Puritan Innovations, Elizabethan Reactions, and the Caroline Settle- ment with a chapter each. Luckock©s work does not discuss any of the content of The Book of Common Prayer; rather, he is concerned with discovering how the content got there. His histories are very complete and include examinations of the people, events, theology, and politics that affected the formation of the book. The accounts are meticulously re- searched and as fascinating as they are lengthy. Luckock has written many works and was a respected teacher, college president, and Dean of Lichfield Cathedral. His record of The Book of Common Prayer is a tool that should be utilized by all who are familiar with this centerpiece of Anglican worship.

    AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND ANECDOTES BY WILLIAM TASWELL, D.D., SOMETIME RECTOR OF NEWINGTON, SDRREY, RECTOR OF BERMONDSEY, AND PREVIOUSLY STUDENT OF CHRIST CHUKCH, OXFORD. A.D. 1651—1682. EDITED BY GEORGE PERCY ELLIOTT, ESQ. BARRISTER AT-LAW. PRINTED FOR THE CAMDEN SOCIETY. M.DCCC..LII. INTRODUCTION. THIS autobiography was originally written in Latin, but has been preserved only in the present translation, which was made by the Author's grandson, the Rev. Henry Taswell, Vicar of Marden, in Herefordshire. The translation has on a fly-leaf the following description:— " A few anecdotes concerning William Taswell, D.D., Rector of Newington and St Mary Bermondsey, in Surrey, and his Family. Translated Sept. 1761, after a very poor manner, by H. T., his grandson. " It is by no means an exact literal translation, but it is a just one as to facts recorded." The MS. translation is now in the possession of the Editor, together with the Diary of Dr. Taswell's father-in-law, Archdeacon Lake, which was printed in the former volume of the Camden Miscellany. The GENEALOGY of a FAMILY in the WEST, and COMMENTARIES upon his own LIFE. By W. T., D.D. Translated from the Latin (a thousand faults committed) by H. T. NOTWITHSTANDING I am sensible that for these seven years past and upwards my attention has been for the most part fixed towards husbandry, or in employment of an inferior nature, I once more put pen to paper; not because I am sensible of the accuracy there will be in my performance—the utmost extent of my abilities giving me little room to hope for this—but only to revive again, if possible, a knowledge of myself and letters, which time and my avocations have somewhat effaced.

MY DEAR NEPHEW, IN dedicating these pages to you as the head of our family, I do not feel it incumbent upon me to offer any apology for the manner in which they have been drawn up; as they have not been written with a view to anything beyond a faithful account of those things to which they relate; and, since they are only intended for private distribution among those whom the subject is likely to interest, I need hardly suggest excuses for the so-called weakness of a certain degree of pride in being conscious of the advantages of good birth, and so recording it. Were it necessary to do this, I might appeal to some of the most intelligent and able men of this age: I might quote from Gibbon that "experience has proved that there is scarcely any man of a vi DEDICATION. tolerable family who does not wish to know as much as he can about it; nor is such an ambition either foolish in itself or hurtful to society :" or from Watson Bishop of Landaff, who, entering more fully on the subject, says, "All families being of equal antiquity, and time and chance happening so to all that kings become beggars and beggars become kings, no solid reason I think can be given why any man should derive honour or infamy from the station his ancestors held in civil society; yet the contrary opinion is so prevalent that no words need be employed in proving that it is so.

  • 1 What to See at Christ Church
    What to See at Christ Church : A Short Tour Christ Church is an essential element in any visit to Oxford. Two of its famous landmarks, Tom Tower, by Christopher Wren, and Oxford’s Cathedral spire, define the city’s celebrated skyline and mark Christ Church as a unique dual foundation: one of Oxford University's largest colleges and the cathedral church for the diocese of Oxford. The following tour will provide those visiting Christ Church with more information about its community and history. Beginning in the tranquil landscape of Christ Church Meadow, the tour will move through the college in the footsteps of great minds, royalty, poets, prime ministers, a little girl called Alice and even the odd wizard! Gaze upon the beautiful buildings, elegant quadrangles and vibrant stained glass windows and gain an insight into the rich history of an Oxford college and cathedral. The tour has been designed to accompany a visit to Christ Church but if you should need more information feel free to approach the bowler-hatted custodians or one of the cathedral stewards with any queries that should arise. The Meadow Christ Church Meadow is a rare open space at the heart of Oxford, open to the public all year round. Though seemingly tranquil, the meadow is highly variable, with seasonal flooding and a variety of wildlife that comes and goes. During the Civil War it proved invaluable as a defence against the Parliamentarian forces, but visitors are nowadays more likely to encounter a rare English Longhorn cow than a soldier besieging the city. The meadow has long been used as a site for sport, entertainment and recreation.
