This will result in some disruption, but through the project we are maintaining the essential catering services, as you will see if you (re)visit the College over the next 18 months. As usual, our Development team have prepared a feast for the eye and the mind in the 2017 issue of The Pelican. Their standards are always high, but this issue seems to me to be particularly stimulating. The lead article is an interview by Simon Heffer with Jo Bailey Wells, Corpus’s first female Bishop, as Suffragan in the Diocese of Guildford where another Corpuscle, Andrew Watson, is the Diocesan Bishop. You will find interviews by two recent students, Kenza Bryan and Alastair Benn, of Tim Sebastian and Jonathan Rugman, whom we have been lucky enough to have as Fellow Commoners in the College last year and this, respectively. You can get to know some of our Fellows, and learn about their important research, through profiles of Sam Behjati, David Blunt, Aaron Rapport, Jo Wilmott, Vickie Braithwaite, Rachel Adelstein and Jake Bradley. Then there is a delightful double act by our Parker Librarians, and a colourful presentation of Dave Barton and his gardening team.

  • HISTORY of FETCHAM CHURCH Draft 23.3.97 J Mettam
    pdfMachine by Broadgun Software - a great PDF writer! - a great PDF creator! - http://www.pdfmachine.com http://www.broadgun.com HISTORY OF FETCHAM CHURCH Draft 23.3.97 J Mettam INTRODUCTION The oldest parts of Fetcham Church were built about 1,000 years ago. At that time The Street extended southward between the church and the manor house (where Fetcham Park House now stands) to join the path over the Downs to West Humble. The Street also continued north, bearing right past where Barracks Farm now is, to ford the Mole on the way to Kingston. The Street was crossed by the Harroway, an ancient route which came into existence in BC600-300 from North Kent to the tin mining areas of Cornwall. The Harroway followed the spring line of the Lower Road in the summer and a drier route near the Leatherhead Guildford road in the winter. The Harroway became an important link between the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Kent and Wessex. Fetcham must have been one of the earliest areas of Anglo-Saxon settlement with 6th Century burial grounds on Hawks Hill and at Watersmeet. The village was clustered in the nearest part of The Street just north of the church and manor house, which is thought to have developed around the site of a Roman villa or farmhouse. The present parish boundaries probably represent the ghost of the Roman estate. The varied soil types were well suited to the mixed communal farming methods of the Anglo Saxons. The main open fields were on calcareous loam on the slopes SE and SW from the Church, which could still be described in 1809 as some of the best soil in Surrey.

    Pragmatics 13:3.401-422 (2003) International Pragmatics Association DOI: 10.1075/prag.13.3.03sul PERSPECTIVE IN THE DISCOURSE OF WAR: THE CASE OF COLIN POWELL1 Camelia Suleiman and Daniel C. O’Connell Abstract The following article applies both quantitative and qualitative methods of research to markers of perspective in a TV interview of Colin Powell on the CNN LARRY KING LIVE program from November 26, 2001. Perspective is well established in phenomenology and social psychology; its starting point is the conviction that every utterance expresses a point of view. From previous research, we accept the dialogical nature of perspective (see O'Connell & Kowal 1998) and further argue that perspective can be observed through measures of orality and literacy and through referencing (name and pronoun reference). The following measures of orality and literacy are examined: Back channeling hesitations, interruptions, contractions and elisions, first person singular pronominals, interjections and tag questions, and turn transitions from interviewer to interviewee and vice versa. We argue further that Colin Powell's perspective stresses the division between "we" and "they" with regard to the then imminent involvement in Iraq. Theoretical implications are discussed. Key words: Perspective, Television political interview, Dialogism, Orality/literacy, Referencing, The Middle East. Introduction This paper examines perspective in a television interview of Larry King with Colin Powell. Our perspectival approach assumes that every utterance expresses a point of view. The term is well established in phenomenology and social psychology. Earlier research on perspective and the political television interview emphasized the dialogic nature of perspective (see O’Connell & Kowal 1998). It also investigated indicators of perspective through markers of orality and literacy (see Alber, O’Connell, & Kowal 2002).

  • GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD 1 Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops Of
    GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York issued a letter on 16th February outlining their proposals for continuing to address, as a church, questions concerning human sexuality. The Archbishops committed themselves and the House of Bishops to two new strands of work: the creation of a Pastoral Advisory Group and the development of a substantial Teaching Document on the subject. This paper outlines progress toward the realisation of these two goals. Introduction 1. Members of the General Synod will come back to the subject of human sexuality with very clear memories of the debate and vote on the paper from the House of Bishops (GS 2055) at the February 2017 group of sessions. 2. Responses to GS 2055 before and during the Synod debate in February underlined the point that the ‘subject’ of human sexuality can never simply be an ‘object’ of consideration for us, because it is about us, all of us, as persons whose being is in relationship. Yes, there are critical theological issues here that need to be addressed with intellectual rigour and a passion for God’s truth, with a recognition that in addressing them we will touch on deeply held beliefs that it can be painful to call into question. It must also be kept constantly in mind, however, that whatever we say here relates directly to fellow human beings, to their experiences and their sense of identity, to their lives and to the loves that shape and sustain them.

  • Incidents in My Life and Ministry
    This is a re-creation of the original – see page 2 – and please note that the headings on the contents page 3 are hyperlinks INCIDENTS IN MY LIFE AND MINISTRY BY CANON A. G. HUNTER Some time Vicar of Christ Church, Epsom, Rural Dean of Leatherhead, and Hon. Canon in Winchester Cathedral. PUBLISHED BY BIRCH & WHITTINGTON, 10, STATION ROAD, EPSOM, SURREY. 1935. Price Two Shillings Net. DEDICATION. To my dear old Epsom friends I dedicate this little book. A. G. H. Transcriber’s note This small book (of some 100 octavo pages in the 1935 original) has long been out of print. To provide a more accessible source for local and other historians, the present text has been scanned in from an original held by Epsom & Ewell Borough Council’s local history museum at Bourne Hall, Ewell. While it reflects the typography and layout of the original, it does not – as is obvious from the different page count – purport to be a facsimile. Archer George Hunter (pictured here in about 1908) was born on 12 November 1850. As the title page indicates, he was among other things Vicar of Christ Church, Epsom Common. Appointed in 1881 to succeed the first Vicar, the Revd George Willes (who served from the parish’s foundation in 1876) he led the parish for 30 years until his retirement in 1911 at the age of 60. In 1906, he was appointed as Rural Dean of Leatherhead, alongside (as is usual) his parish duties. Less usually, he continued as Rural Dean – perhaps even more actively – after standing down from the parish, retiring from that in 1925 at the age of 75.

  • 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.

  • Ad Clerum Blue Files, DPP and Ccsls
    The Bishop of Guildford The Right Revd Christopher Hill Ad clerum: To all beneficed and licensed clergy in the diocese September 2013 +C/mdgh .. .. BLUE FILES AND OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION HELD OUR CLERGY You should be aware what kind of confidential information is held on clergy by the diocese, where it is kept and for how long. In practice this falls into three main categories, and is securely held as follows: ~ your ‘blue file’ (see below) Willow Grange ~ training and staff development records Diocesan House .. ~ information held on the database (‘DCRM’) Electronically Certain more ephemeral information and some duplicate papers are held in the archdeacons’ office and by the Bishop of Dorking. In some cases separate papers may also be held by the by the Diocesan Secretary or the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser. All important and enduring information however is kept on or copied to your confidential clergy file, or ‘blue file’, which is the main personnel record any clerical ministry in the Church of England. It is the blue file that follows a member of the clergy when he or she moves to another diocese. These records enable bishops to exercise their ministry of oversight and pastoral care as well as their canonical responsibilities, especially that of commending someone for any particular ministry. The attached ‘data sharing protocol’ has recently been adopted by the House of Bishops and outlines how bishops may share information about clergy under the Data Protection Act 1998. In particular you should be aware that your personal consent will be sought before your blue file is transferred to another diocese.
