As a former student myself, I am conscious just how much the House has changed through the years to meet the changing demands of ministry and mission in the Church of England, elsewhere in the Anglican Communion and in the developing ecumenical partnerships which the Federation embodies. We have been at the forefront in the deliberations which have led to the introduction of the Common Awards. At the same time, we have guaranteed our continued use of the Tripos and BTh as The Rt Revd Stephen Conway, Bishop of Ely academically challenging frameworks for theological study which can lead on to higher degrees. The Church continues to need scholarly clergy who are recognisable to the Academy, whether those clergy are serving in parishes, in chaplaincies or as full-time theological educators. Our primary duty and joy is the formation of ordinands. Westcott is a generous and hospitable community in which people gather to study together, eat together and worship together. The Eucharist is at the centre of all that we are and do, shaping ordinands, staff and families as the Body of Christ. We aim to be a healthy community in which people can become fully alive as human beings reflecting the glory of God. We aim to create the setting within which people acquire the habits of holiness which will serve them through a lifetime of service in changing circumstances. More and more, Westcott House is keen to resource its graduates and other clergy through the emerging work of the Westcott Foundation. Learning needs to be life-long if we are to maintain the individual resilience of clergy and the call of the whole Church to be imaginative, creative and courageous in the service of the gospel. We have confidence in the ministerial priesthood and continue to imagine ways in which to respond to the needs which experienced clergy share with us. Westcott House is confident in its identity but not complacent about sustaining quality. An exceptionally good external inspection of our life and learning last year gives us hope and strength to press ahead with even more ambitious plans to improve and extend our accommodation and teaching spaces so that more ordinands, clergy and independent students can benefit from all that Westcott House has to offer as Christ welcomes us as the friends he has chosen.” 3 2012 – 2013 THE YEAR IN REVIEW Principal’s Welcome The challenges the Church of England has of Theology and Ministry at Durham with experienced this past year have underlined for responsibilities for the new Common Awards. those of us involved in ministerial education that For the year 2013-14 onwards, the Ministry we are preparing clergy not to look inwards but Division have removed the “Bishops’ Agreed outwards, and to offer pastoral, spiritual and Maximum” number of ordinands that each prophetic care to the whole community – to theological training institution can admit. We have neighbour and nation. We are preparing clergy consequently been able to accept over ten more who will have the confidence and trust in God than we have had this past year. There is a limit not to be swayed by anxieties about money and beyond which we would cease to be a supportive numbers – faith, not anxiety, being the requisite formational community, but that limit is higher than for true growth. We are preparing clergy who can we have been able to reach until now. Our total engage constructively with difference, and find community of ordinands and ministerial students that when they open themselves to others of including exchange students for 2013-14 is 85.

  • 1 Alec Vidler on Christian Faith and Secular Despair Born in Rye
    Alec Vidler On Christian Faith and Secular Despair Born in Rye, Sussex, son of a shipping businessman, Alec Vidler ( 1899‐1991)was educated at Sutton Valence School, Kent, read theology at Selwyn College, Cambridge (B.A. 1921),then trained for the Anglican ministry at Wells Theological College. He disliked Wells and transferred to the Oratory of the Good Shepherd, Cambridge, an Anglo‐Catholic community of celibates, and was ordained priest in 1923. He retained a life‐time affection for the celibate monkish life, never marrying but having a wide range of friends, including Malcolm Muggeridge, who was at Selwyn with him. Muggeridge’s father was a prominent Labourite and Vidler imbibed leftist sympathies in that circle. His first curacy was in Newcastle, working in the slums. He soon came to love his work with working class parishioners and was reluctantly transferred to St Aidan’s Birmingham, where he became involved in a celebrated stoush with the bishop E. W. Barnes, himself a controversialist of note. Vidler’s Anglo‐ Catholic approach to ritual clashed with Barnes’s evangelicalism. Vidler began a prolific career of publication in the 1920s and 30s. In 1931 he joined friends like Wilfred Ward at the Oratory House in Cambridge, steeping himself in religious history and theology, including that of Reinhold Niebuhr and “liberal Catholicism”. In 1939 Vidler became warden of St Deiniol’s Library, Hawarden (founded by a legacy from Gladstone) and also editor of the leading Anglican journal Theology, which he ran until 1964, exerting considerable progressive influence across those years. He also facilitated a number of religious think‐tanks in these, and later, years.

  • November 2017 - £1 1
    Picture “Gladys Price’s Flower Arrangement” by Jane Hall Email:[email protected]. November 2017 - £1 www.tardebiggechurch.org.uk 1 2 From Richard, the Team Rector As we reach November it is inevitable that our thoughts edge towards Christmas. What an enormous festival it has become! There is no religious event in the worldwide calendar that attracts such a wide amount of participation. You may already be signed up for Christmas meals, outings or shopping trips, and some of us will have a good idea as to who from our family and friends will be receiving a visit from us, and which ones will be paying us a seasonal visit. It is also inevitable that Christmas celebrations will be undertaken with varying degrees of respect to the fact that it is a Christian festival, although not our most important one. Christmas is inspiring because of the talk of peace and goodwill; it is fun because it is a celebration, and it is commercial because we exchange cards and presents. It is a way for people who don’t see each other very often to catch up, and there is nothing sinister or threatening about a baby in a manger, especially as we usually surround the crib with a host of cute and fluffy farmyard animals. Meanwhile, we have other remembrances; we celebrate parliamentary democracy on Bonfire Night; we mourn those we have lost on All Saints’ Sunday, also on November 5th this year; the following Sunday is Remembrance Sunday itself; then it’s only a fortnight to “Stir Up Sunday”, the Sunday before Advent, when the collect – “Stir up O Lord the will of thy faithful people…” - reminded generations of cooks to stir up the ingredients for their Christmas puddings, etc.

In December 2019, the West End came to South Croydon with a wonderful performance of Hairspray staged in Big School. Backcombed beehives, styled kisscurls and glittering costume all made this three night sell-out performance a huge hit. With period glitz, nostalgic glamour and toe-tapping numbers, the cast, production team and band, transported the audience back to 1960s downtown Baltimore. The musical (a record-setter which won the 2003 Olivier and Tony Awards for Best Musical for Marc Shaiman) follows teenager Tracy Turnblad’s dream of hitting the big time dancing on The Corny Collins Show amidst a backdrop of racial segregation and elitism. When Tracy wins a role on the show, she becomes a celebrity overnight, leading to social change as Tracy campaigns for the show’s integration. A big thank you to all those who pulled this production together, particularly Mr Michael and Mrs Carter who directed the performance, and congratulations to the whole cast, including students from Old Palace of John Whitgift and WAVPA, Whitgift’s Saturday Performing Arts School. 2 WHITGIFT LIFE performing arts Hairspray The West End arrives in South Croydon! ‘With period glitz, nostalgic glamour and toe-tapping numbers Hairspray was a huge hit’ WHITGIFT LIFE 3 ‘Celebrating the power news of poetry to bring National Poetry Day people together’ To celebrate National Poetry Day He performed one of his poems on Thursday 3 October, poetic ‘Getting Older’ from his new rapper and storytelling songwriter, book Reasons to Write Rhymes in Rob Bradley was invited to Whitgift an Upper School assembly.
