In the late s and early s there seems to have been a parallel College Magazine which did not survive. Oddly, the Society Magazine editor is apparently always appointed by the College Governing Body. Until , the main emphasis was certainly on the Society and alumni matters. However, when I took over as editor that year, an oral survey suggested that readers would value more detailed news of the College, so I introduced the College Report which has subsequently become an informal, but very much valued, Annual Report. Consequently, when copyright issues were raised, I vested it with the College even though, ocially, the Magazine is published by the Society. Originally funding came from Society subscriptions, then by a levy on students (at rst nine terms at one guinea per term gave life membership of the Society including the Magazine). Later, rather than raise the levy, the College agreed to a / split of the costs. Finally, at about the time I became editor, the College agreed to pay the full cost. The student levy for Society membership – now per term for a maximum nine terms – is still raised; however, at least as much is distributed back to students as Society grants and bursaries; these are very much appreciated (see Society Awards and an article by two recipients of Internship Bursaries). I am hopeful that the position of the Magazine will be settled as part of the clarication of the relationship between College and Society (see the report of the th AGM in the Society section). This edition contains news of some exciting library and archive acquisitions, particularly of interest to scientists, thanks to the extraordinary generosity of an alumnus – see the Library Report and the article on the Periodic Table. Miranda Grin takes over as Senior Tutor from , so the Senior Tutor’s Report in this Magazine is Paul Hartle’s last; he retires after years in the post. In Sports News, once again St Catharine’s won the hockey triple (men’s, women’s and mixed); a St Catharine’s cox guided the winning women’s Boat Race crew; and, for the rst time in a while, the current students beat the Society on Acheson Gray Day. Record numbers are applying to study at St Catharine’s; see the report from the Admissions Tutors. Head Porter Dom Mulcrone’s reminiscences in the Magazine mentioned the streakers leading to ‘constant salvos of abusive re from the ... public press’ concerning the ‘naked bodies streaking fearlessly’ around Main Court; the quotes are from the Magazine. Rumours followed that applications to Catz were up considerably over the next couple of years. Then in the College topped the Tompkins Table of Cambridge colleges based on tripos results. I have checked the numbers and it is true that applications were up (though only very slightly) for the three years following the streakers. However, numbers were down by a similar amount in the three or four years after topping the Tompkins table! I doubt either correlation is signicant, but the increase in numbers in recent years certainly is. The twin sister of fellow Sriya Iyer read mathematics at Balliol, Oxford, and drew attention to Balliol’s link with St Catharine. John Balliol and his wife the Princess Dervorguilla of Galloway founded Balliol around . According to an article in the edition of the Balliol College Record, Dervorguilla was a special follower of St Catharine and, when the college received its licence from the Bishop of Lincoln in , he noted that she had included St Catharine prominently in the dedication. As Professor Sir John Baker notes from his visits to Balliol, the college is covered in Catharine wheels. The article also describes various chapels in the college precincts which were dedicated to the saint over the years, 4 and an adjacent inn ‘The Catherine Wheel’ whose aairs were linked to the college and in which various plots (including the Gunpowder Plot) were hatched. It seems that Balliol, like Catz, customarily feasts on November (St Catharine’s Day) each year and has probably been doing so for considerably longer than we have – maybe for over years.

  • Lent, Holy Week and Easter
    Lent, Holy Week and Easter Music of Faith, Songs of Scripture Music and song have always been at the heart of Christian faith and worship. Throughout the scriptures the community of the faithful have responded to the divine by singing and making music upon instruments of all kinds. This Lent, we will be reflecting on the music of our faith and the songs of scripture, the psalms, as a means of bringing us closer to God. We journey to the cross accompanied by songs of lament which deepen our prayer and we greet the resurrection with joyful songs of praise and thanksgiving. Here at Ely Cathedral we are offering a wide range of worship opportunities for prayer and reflection in our Lent, Holy Week and Easter Programme. We are delighted to welcome inspiring preachers, among them Malcolm Guite, Stuart Townend, Megan Daffern and Rowan Williams. We will be accompanied on our journey by our Cathedral Choirs and musicians. We hope that you will feel able to engage with the story of Christ’s passion and resurrection in many and various ways; growing in holiness and deepening their faith as we journey together through the season of Lent. ‘This is our story, this is our song’ Shrove Tuesday | 13 February | 6.30pm The Big Pancake Party and Pancake Race With live music from Ely Cathedral Octagon Singers and Ely Cathedral Community Choir. Come and enjoy the fun in our Big Pancake Race and Pancake Party where we will be raising money for the Church Urban Fund’s Food Poverty Campaign and eating away at hunger.

Hobbes was outed as an athe- ist and discredited almost as soon as the work appeared. Subsequent criticism was seen to be the idle pursuit of a discredited text, an exer- cise upon which young militant churchmen could cut their teeth, as William Warburton observed in the eighteenth century.2 We need to be aware, however, that this was a story that was largely the cre- ation of Hobbes’s intellectual opponents, writers with an interest in sidelining Leviathan from the mainstream of the history of ideas.

  • 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. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • Archdeacons' News
    THE ARCHDEACONS’ FORUM for the Church of England and the Church in Wales Archdeacons’ News Issue no. 47 February 2020 from Cameron Watt Archdeacons’ National Development Officer Welcome to the first issue of the Archdeacons’ News of 2020. Over the past few months I have had the enormous privilege of getting to know many of the Archdeacons across England and Wales since starting this role. When I first spoke to Norman Boakes about this role, he waxed lyrical about both the work, but more importantly about the wonderful cohort of people who are called to Archidiaconal ministry. I must pay tribute to Norman, as my predecessor in this role. He built up the role and tirelessly championed Archdeacons across the Church of England and the Church in Wales. As this role develops I am fabulously supported by Husna Louise in Church House, Bishop Chris Goldsmith as the new Director of Ministry, and the Archdeacons’ Forum Executive which is very well led by Archdeacon Stephen Taylor. Over the coming years, I hope to be able to develop the support which is on offer to Archdeacons, and also to help to ensure that the collective wisdom of the Archdeacons is heard at all levels of our central church institutions. Outside of this role I am a part-time parish priest in a rural parish, and have found that combining these two roles keeps me grounded in both of them – long may that continue! The important thing is that I am here to support, pray for, and work alongside you – the Archdeacons who provide so much support, guidance and love for the work of God across our dioceses.

  • Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1St April – 30Th June
    Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1st April – 30th June The great theologian Karl Barth says that prayer is ‘primitive’. Many of us therefore naturally turn to prayer, especially in times of great need. Yet, as we pray, we also discover that it is God’s Spirit who has put this desire to pray in our hearts. The purpose of this new format of the Prayer Diary is to help us to channel and develop our primitive prayer responses so that we become both intentional and focused in our praying for others. The word ‘prayer’ in all its forms is mentioned 375 times in the New Testament. The Prayer Diary will offer us at least 365 opportunities to express our prayer in a way that draws out our petitions to God on behalf of others – for those in the Diocese and for those across the world. Our Archbishops have asked us to especially pray, during the fifth week in Lent, for the wider Anglican Communion. As we do this, let’s also pray for those involved in the re-arrangements now needed due to the postponement of the Lambeth Conference until 2021. We also particularly pray in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. One personal petition is for the homeless who already experience ‘social distancing’ by social exclusion. So my prayers are for them and for those who continue to provide care for the homeless in the midst of all the complexities that the virus imposes on human contact. You may want to use this prayer composed by Canon Roly Riem, Vice-Dean at Winchester Cathedral: Lord Jesus, Who in your earthly life Bore our grief and carried our sorrows, Stand with us, we pray, In our fear, distress and uncertainty.
