Walking with Jesus in the Holy Land Led by the Very Revd John Dobson - the Dean of Ripon Cathedral - and Bishop John Pritchard - Former Bishop of Oxford Walking with Jesus in The Holy Land Led by The Very Revd John Dobson - The Dean of Ripon Cathedral - and Bishop John Pritchard - Former Bishop of Oxford - 8th - 17th October, 2020 - The official and preferred Pilgrimage partner for the Diocese of Jerusalem - Coopersale Hall Farm, Epping, CM16 7PE, England Tel: 01992 576 065 Email: [email protected] web:www.lightline.org.uk We are delighted to be inviting a group to join us on pilgrimage in the Holy Land in October 2020. Like thousands of Christians before us we’ve always found that this pilgrimage has stimulated and nourished our faith in a unique and lasting way, and we hope you might like to join us. We will be spending our days getting close to the birth, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus, visiting sites that resonate wonderfully with the faith that we have heard and sung about week by week in church, but which springs to life in a whole new way in the holy places themselves. We’ll also meet some of the heirs of Jesus, the ‘living stones’, in the small but remarkable Christian communities that sustain a Christian witness in what are inevitably very difficult circumstances. Pilgrims with us have often found these encounters some of the most memorable things to have happened to them on the pilgrimage. We will be travelling with Lightline Pilgrimages, a Christian travel company that works exclusively with Christian agents, hotels, restaurants and tour guides, and which is the ‘official and preferred’ pilgrimage partner for the Anglican diocese of Jerusalem. This ensures that we support our Christian brothers and sisters in a very practical way, and that we gain access to communities that are very close to the ground in Israel/Palestine. This is always an enormously rich experience, journeying together around the places that mean so much to us in the Land of the Holy One. We always feel that every Christian ought to go there at least once in their lives! Do start saving and join us next October.

NEW YORK: E & J. B.YOUNG AND CO. 1898. PREFACE. A great mass of material has of late years been brought within reach of the student, bearing upon the history of the religious life and customs of the English people during the period from their conversion, in the sixth and seventh centuries, down to the Reformation of the Church of England in the sixteenth century; but this material is still to be found only in great libraries, and is therefore hardly within reach of the general reader. The following chapters contain the results of some study of the subject among the treasures of the library of the British Museum; much of those results, it is believed, will be new, and all, it is hoped, useful, to the large number of general readers who happily, in these days, take an intelligent interest in English Church history.

  • St John Baptist Church Bishop Monkton
    1 Foreword by the Incumbent, the Very Revd John Dobson, the Dean of Ripon The parishes of Burton Leonard and Bishop Monkton are two of the four parishes making up the Ripon Cathedral Benefice. This profile has been prepared to assist the appointment of a house for duty priest to these two parishes. It reveals how much life and vitality there is both within the churches and the communities they serve. This is a delightful area in which to live and a wonderfully rewarding context in which to minister; many people of all ages are enthused and engaged. It is important that we appoint a priest who will help these churches and communities to continue to flourish. Continuing to develop lay leadership and offering ministry within the schools will be clear priorities. There is a good deal of autonomy for the person in this post, but also an enviable amount of support from both the parishes and the wider benefice. The Cathedral’s support often extends beyond that provided by me, to that of Cathedral canons and minor canons and the services of the Cathedral Office. The Area Bishop of Ripon and the Archdeacon of Richmond and Craven also provide valuable encouragement. The other two parishes in the Cathedral benefice are the Cathedral Parish itself, which also contains the village of Littlethorpe, and the Parish of Sharow with Copt Hewick and Marton-le- Moor. The clergy and congregations of the whole benefice look forward to welcoming, and working with, the person who is appointed. I would be delighted to have a conversation with anyone wishing to explore whether God is calling him or her to this particular ministry.

    Two Village Churches PARISH BROCHURE of St John the Baptist, Bishop Monkton and St Leonard’s, Burton Leonard WELCOME A warm welcome, led by our incumbent the Very Reverend John Dobson, awaits the house-for-duty Priest who comes to share their ministry and mission with our communities in the parishes of St. John the Baptist, Bishop Monkton and St Leonard’s, Burton Leonard. These are two very picturesque, rural villages that boast strong, thriving, diverse communities. The villages are two miles away from each other, are strategically well placed to reach the Cathedral city of Ripon, the Spa town of Harrogate, the cities of Leeds and York and are within easy access to the A1 motorway. Through farming heritage, active families, professional people and of all ages, both communities have a beating heart and we are all looking forward to you getting to know us better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The parishes of Burton Leonard and Bishop Monkton are two of the four parishes making up the Ripon Cathedral Benefice.

  • The Myth of Piers Plowman
    THE MYTH OF PIERS PLOWMAN Addressing the history of the production and reception of the great medieval poem, Piers Plowman, Lawrence Warner reveals the many ways in which scholars, editors, and critics over the centuries created their own speculative narratives about the poem, which gradually came to be regarded as factually true. Warner begins by considering the possibility that Langland wrote a romance about a werewolf and bear-suited lovers, and goes on to explore the methods of the poem’s localization, and medieval readers’ particular interest in its Latinity. Warner shows that the “Protestant Piers” was a reaction against the poem’s oral mode of transmission, reveals the extensive eighteenth-century textual scholarship on the poem by figures including the maligned Chaucer editor John Urry, and contextual- izes its first modernization by a literary forger inspired by the 1790s Shakespeare controversies. This lively account of Piers Plowman challenges the way the poem has traditionally been read and understood. lawrence warner is Senior Lecturer in Medieval English at King’s College London and Director of the International Piers Plowman Society. His book, The Lost History of Piers Plowman: The Earliest Transmission of Langland’s Work (2011), received Honorable Mention for the 2013 Richard J. Finneran Award of the Society for Textual Scholarship. CAMBRIDGE STUDIES IN MEDIEVAL LITERATURE general editor Alastair Minnis, Yale University editorial board Zygmunt G.
