God and Mrs Thatcher: Religion and Politics in 1980s Britain Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2010 Liza Filby University of Warwick University ID Number: 0558769 1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own. ……………………………………………… Date………… 2 Abstract The core theme of this thesis explores the evolving position of religion in the British public realm in the 1980s. Recent scholarship on modern religious history has sought to relocate Britain‟s „secularization moment‟ from the industrialization of the nineteenth century to the social and cultural upheavals of the 1960s. My thesis seeks to add to this debate by examining the way in which the established Church and Christian doctrine continued to play a central role in the politics of the 1980s. More specifically it analyses the conflict between the Conservative party and the once labelled „Tory party at Prayer‟, the Church of England. Both Church and state during this period were at loggerheads, projecting contrasting visions of the Christian underpinnings of the nation‟s political values. The first part of this thesis addresses the established Church.

Introit John’s1 hoary historiographical aphorism, about maintaining conclusions with doubt,2 has now evolved into his frequent response to the fragmentary observations from which what follows grew. It’s clear that the longer he’s around, the more that certainty evades him, and all he’s prepared to offer is ‘quite possibly so…’ So, in that inquisitive spirit, this material remains defiantly provisional. Six days after the notorious Shanghai massacre in which Chiang Kai-shek purged the Communists from the Kuomintang, ordering over a thousand to be arrested, 300 to be officially executed and caused another 5,000 to go missing; and just two days after the birth in his parents' home in the village of Marktl am Inn, Bavaria, of Joseph Ratzinger who later became Pope Benedict XVI, John was born on 18 April 1927, in Upper Heath, Hampstead, in London.3 1 Dr John Slater, BA (Oxon), Dip Ed (Oxon), MA (London), D Phil (Exeter), FHA.

  • What Are Prime Ministers For?
    Journal of the British Academy, 2, 213–230. DOI 10.5871/jba/002.213 Posted 18 December 2014. © The British Academy 2014 What are prime ministers for? Lecture in Politics and Government1 read 13 October 2014 PETER HENNESSY Fellow of the Academy Abstract: The article draws up an assessment of the resources and instruments a new prime minister inherits on his or her first day in 10 Downing Street. It examines the growth in the functions that have fallen to successive prime ministers, as heads of government, over the seven decades since the end of the Second World War. It explains the very special and personal nuclear weapons responsibilities that belong to a prime minister. It touches, too, on the physical and mental strains that often afflict those who carry the office of prime minister. The article examines Jack Straw’s proposal that the United Kingdom prime minister and the collective Cabinet system over which he or she presides should be placed on a statutory basis by Parliament. Keywords: Prime minister, Cabinet, collective governments, nuclear weapons, Parliament. I owe my title question to a young boy in the late 19th century who may well have not existed beyond what one might call plausible and useful legend about the day Queen Victoria opened Blackfriars Bridge across the River Thames. As the little old lady in black passed in her carriage between her loyal and cheering subjects on either side of said bridge, the lad turned to his papa and enquired ‘Dad. What is that lady for?’ Unless Dad by chance was an avid reader of ‘The Monarchy’ chapter in Walter Bagehot’s The English Constitution,2 he would have been a bit pushed to provide the precocious child with a pithy answer.

  • Clement Attlee Was Born on 3 January 1883 in Putney, the Seventh of Eight Children
    P R O F I L E Clement Attlee was born on 3 January 1883 in Putney, the seventh of eight children. His father, Henry Attlee, was a solicitor and senior partner in the firm of Druces and Attlee, whose offices were in the Middle Temple. After being home-schooled, Attlee was educated at the preparatory school Northaw Place and then Haileybury College, both in Hertfordshire. At Haileybury, which had a strong military ethos, Attlee became an enthusiastic member of the Volunteer Rifle Corps. After leaving Haileybury in 1901 Attlee went on to University College, Oxford, where he studied Modern History. He specialised in Italian and Renaissance history and graduated in 1904 with a second-class degree. After leaving Oxford Attlee followed in his father’s footsteps and entered the legal profession, although without any great enthusiasm for it. He had been admitted to the Inner Temple on 30 January 1904, and in the autumn of that year entered the Lincoln’s Inn chambers of Sir Philip Gregory. His father’s connections meant he had already C L E M E N T dined at the Inner Temple; he was called to the Bar in March 1906. In October 1905, Attlee accompanied his brother Laurence to the A T T L E E Haileybury Club, a club in Stepney, East London for working-class boys, run by former Haileybury College pupils. It was connected to B O R N 1 8 8 3 the Territorial Army, and volunteers were expected to become non- D I E D 1 9 6 7 commissioned officers.

  • Faith in Conflict: a Study of British Experiences in the First World War with Particular Reference to the English Midlands
    FAITH IN CONFLICT: A STUDY OF BRITISH EXPERIENCES IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE ENGLISH MIDLANDS by STUART ANDREW BELL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The thesis addresses the question, ‘How did the First World War affect the religious faith of the people of Britain?’ The ways in which wartime preachers, hymn-writers, diarists and letter-writers expressed their faith are examined. For the vast majority, the War was both a military and a spiritual conflict of right against might and the rhetoric of a Holy War was popular. Questions of divine omnipotence and providence troubled many, the standard response being that war was a consequence of God’s gift of free will. The language of sacrifice dominated public discourse, with many asserting that the salvation of the fallen was ensured by their own sacrifice.
