Bishop June Osborne of the Diocese of Llandaff is has organised for him to the St Padarn’s Institute in Cardiff for a year of formation starting in September 2019. He will be based in a parish context from the outset and he will continue in that parish for his Curacy.

However, I have absolutely no doubt that he will be back amongst us soon as a guest deacon then priest.

For 30 years, 261092 was Tony’s clock number at Pressed Steel in Cowley. He was one of 12,000 employees, each easily replaceable, whom he saw as neglected by the Church, though each an individual of utmost value to God. That deep theological and socialist conviction was rooted for Tony in Matthew 25.31-46, read by two of his grandsons at the service of thanksgiving for his life. After five terms at Cuddesdon, Tony began work as a “trucker”. It took 18 months to persuade the cautious Bishop Harry Carpenter to ordain him to serve his title at St Luke’s, Cowley, for the nominal stipend of 1s. a year; he still clocked on at 7.15, after celebrating the eucharist at 6.30 on Wednesdays. He joined the Transport and General Workers Union (TGWU), which met on Sunday mornings — for Tony this was after an eight-o’clock communion; and he chaired the largest UK TGWU Branch for 16 years. Election to Oxford City Council led, through hours of thorough and caring case-work, to Chair of the Housing Committee for ten years, leadership of the Labour Party in both City and County Councils, Lord Mayor of Oxford, and Life Alderman of the County. One Polling Day, a voter arrived to “vote for Tony”, only to find that he wasn’t a candidate in that ward. “Where is he standing? I’ll go there!” Tony lobbied Buckingham Palace to allow Barbara and all their four children to witness his award of the OBE. Tony was the son of Fr Joe of Poplar, widely known in his own day, and to viewers of Call the Midwife. For lack of schooling, Joe, too, struggled to be ordained; so he made sure that his children had the best chances. Tony went to the Dragon School, Marlborough, and Trinity, Oxford, gaining a third in Geography — with greater success at hockey. His wife, Barbara, a Somerville alumna, was cleverer, a JP and careers adviser. Tony repaid his debt to her as devoted mother, generous host, and wise critic, tirelessly giving her for four years the fullest possible life after a severe stroke. Days before his death, his four children helped Tony to finish a project that had been important to their parents. They reached the Thames Barrier, the end of the 180-mile Thames Path that Tony and Barbara had started walking in 2010. Thirty years’ “clocking on” was followed by spending 11 years as Oxford Diocesan Director of Education. He pioneered a sustainable scheme of professional advisers in church and county schools. In Watlington, the “retyred turbo-charged vicar” in his yellow BMW Mini fought for a new primary school and sheltered housing, and every week worked alongside community payback teams clearing the churchyard. He supported clergy as a union representative for the Faithworkers’ Branch of Unite. On Barbara’s garden trolley, his ashes were drawn by his granddaughters in recession from the church as the Strawbs sang “I’m part of the union till the day I die”. Tony put into practice his lifelong belief in the union of God and the human family. Canon Christopher Hall ALL SAINTS NEWS PRAYER April 2019 1 Mass 8.30am Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest & Teacher 1872 1838 published The Kingdom of Christ, a discussion of the causes and cures of divisions within the Christian Church. He was much concerned with the role of the Church in speaking to social questions, speaking of "faith in a God who has redeemed mankind, in whom I may vindicate my rights as a man." He organized the Christian Socialist Movement, which, he wrote, "will commit us at once to the conflict we must engage in sooner or later with the unsocial Christians and unchristian Socialists." His work is one of the reasons why Socialism in England has been largely devoid of the avowedly anti-Christian overtones it had in many other countries. St John’s School Easter Services 9.30am & 1.30pm 2 Mass 7.00pm Pray for those without faith, for those searching, for those who have experienced trauma that means they are unable to have faith. An estimated 2% of the world population are atheist. 3 Mass 9.30am Pray for all in healthcare administration – leadership, management and administration of public health systems, hospitals and hospital networks. Pray for smooth running, positive and effective connections between different structures and organizations, and the achievement of positive outcomes for the common goal which is the good health of society. Pray for parts of the world without these facilities. 4 Mass 7.00pm Rats, usually the though brings negative associations. In the west rats are thought to have spread disease and damage goods and food supplies. The term is used as an expletive or to describe unscrupulous characters. Pray for all who are negatively and unfairly ‘labelled’ in this and other societies, may we become increasingly aware of the meaning and effect of language we use about others. 5 Mass 10.30am Hope springs eternal in the human breast; Man never is, but always to be blessed: The soul, uneasy and confined from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come. Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man 6 Mass 10.30am Pray for those in the uniformed services In our own country and throughout the world.

  • Chronologically Lewis Joel D
    Chronologically Lewis Joel D. Heck All notes are done in the present tense of the verb for consistency. Start and end dates of term are those officially listed in the Oxford calendar. An email from Robin Darwall-Smith on 11/26/2008 explains the discrepancies between official term dates and the notes of C. S. Lewis in his diary and letters: “Term officially starts on a Thursday, but then 1st Week (out of 8) starts on the following Sunday (some might say Saturday, but it ought to be Sunday). The week in which the start of term falls is known now as „0th Week‟. I don‟t know how far back that name goes, but I‟d be surprised if it wasn‟t known in Lewis‟s day. The system at the start of term which I knew in the 1980s - and which I guess was there in Lewis‟s time too - was that the undergraduates had to be in residence by the Thursday of 0th Week; the Friday was set aside for start of term Collections (like the ones memorably described in Lewis‟s diary at Univ.!), and for meetings with one‟s tutors. Then after the weekend lectures and tutorials started in earnest on the Monday of 1st Week.” Email from Robin Darwall-Smith on 11/27/2008: “The two starts to the Oxford term actually have names. There‟s the start of term, in midweek, and then the start of „Full Term‟, on the Sunday - and is always Sunday. Lectures and tutorials start up on the following day.

  • The Year 1950 (182)
    The Year 1950 (182) Summary: In 1950, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the first of the Chronicles of Narnia, was published on October 16 in England and on November 7 in America. Jack was in the midst of writing the Chronicles, and Roger Lancelyn Green was reading them. Jack received his first letter from Joy Gresham on January 10. The Inklings were meeting regularly on Tuesdays, but no longer on Thursdays. Jack was receiving gifts of food, stationery, etc., during post-war rationing from Americans Edward Allen, Vera Mathews, Dr. Warfield Firor, and Mrs. Frank Jones (and perhaps Nathan Starr). Jack declined Firor’s invitation to come to America. On February 13, Jack debated Mr. Archibald Robertson of the Rationalist Press Association on “Grounds for Disbelief in God” at the Oxford Socratic Club. Anthony Flew spoke at the Socratic Club in May. In April, the Revd. Duff arrived to try to interest Jack in a home Mission called the Industrial Christian Fellowship, and Mrs. Moore was taken to a nursing home called Restholme. Jack began daily visits to see Mrs. Moore, which continued until her death in January 1951. Daphne Harwood contracted and then died from cancer. June (Jill) Flewett, one of the World War II evacuees who stayed at the Kilns, was married on September 4, which Warren attended. Grace Havard, wife of Humphrey Havard, died on September 10. The famous Firor Ham Feast took place at 7:30 p.m. at Jack’s rooms on September 19. In December Sheldon Vanauken began corresponding with Jack. Jack writes “What Are We to Make of Jesus Christ?” In this year Jack perhaps writes a poem on the shallowness of modern life, entitled “Finchley Avenue.” A second edition of Dymer is published in this year with a Preface by Jack.

  • Notable People Buried in Oxford Cemeteries
    NOTABLE PEOPLE BURIED IN OXFORD CEMETERIES NAME BORN DIED CEMETERY REMARKS Sir Charles 1833 1896 Wolvercote Sir Charles did not inherit the title 'Sir'. It was awarded later, as a Umpherston result of his achievements. He was not a member of the aristocracy Aitchison and he did not go to one of our famous public schools. He attended the local High School in Edinburgh Scotland, where he was born, and then went to Edinburgh University, where he was considered a bright student. He first showed himself to be exceptional at the age of 23, when he took the competitive examination for the Indian Civil Service, as it was then called. There were 113 candidates for only 20 places. Sir Charles came 5th overall. He first came out to the Sub-continent at the age of 24, arriving in Calcutta in September 1856, as a Junior Civil Servant. The next year he was transferred to the Punjab, and was posted to Lahore in March 1858, when he was 26. In the next 20 years, he was gradually promoted, moving upwards through the ranks. He also wrote several books. His most extensive work was a collection of treaties, engagements and Sanads, which eventually spread to eleven volumes. In 1878 he was disappointed to be transferred to Burma, where he felt home-sick for the Punjab. Sir Charles therefore saw this great ambition of his achieved a year befor the end of his term as Lieutenant-Governor. In 1888 he finally retired to England. By this time, he was in a fairly poor state of health, and he eventually died in 1896, at the age of 64.

  • Congregationalism in Oxford the Growth and Development of Congregational Churches in and Around the City of Oxford Since 1653
    Congregationalism in Oxford The growth and development of Congregational Churches in and around the city of Oxford since 1653 by Michael Hopkins A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Historical Studies The University of Birmingham January 2010 1 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

ABSTRACT This thesis contends that the growth and development of Congregationalism in Oxford was different from elsewhere because of the presence of both the University of Oxford and Mansfield College. It explores fully the progress of Congregationalism in Oxford during the three hundred and fifty years from the Puritans in the English Commonwealth until the beginning of the twenty-first century. It considers these developments in the light of the national background and explains how they are distinctive, rather than representative, through the story of the New Road Meeting House, George Street and Summertown Congregational Churches in particular, and the other suburban and village Congregational chapels in contrast to other towns and cities with Congregational colleges.

  • Blackbird Leys a Thirty Year History
    Blackbird Leys A thirty year history And a celebration of forty years of The Church of the Holy Family The story of an ecumenical church growing out of nothing on a new council estate built in the 60’s. 1 Foreword At the beginning of 1990 it was suggested that a history should be written up ready for the 30th Anniversary of Holy Family Church in June that year. Jack Argent, the Chairman of the Church Committee, and Church Warden, for most of those 30 years was planning to do this, but with his sudden death in March 1990 nothing had been started. As I have lived on the estate for 32 years, and been a member of Holy Family Church since it first began, I was asked to produce an article for the Church Magazine. It proved to be such and interesting task looking through the folders of letters, Minutes and Magazines that I offered to write up the history in more detail. The following I hope is a glimpse of life on an outer city estate. Dorothy Fox, Oxford, 1990. Foreword to 2005 edition This year we are celebrating forty years of Holy Family Church since it’s dedication on 10th April 1965. This anniversary and the associated celebrations prompted a number of people to regret that Dorothy’s history was no longer in print so it was decided to reprint the text with a few new illustrations. As part of our celebrations a number of people have written appreciations of Holy Family Church for the Church Magazine.
