  • Evangelicals and Tractarians: Then and Now PETERTOON Ln 1967 and in 1977 Evangelical Anglicans Held National Conferences at Keele and Nottingham
    Evangelicals and Tractarians: then and now PETERTOON ln 1967 and in 1977 evangelical Anglicans held national conferences at Keele and Nottingham. On each occasion a statement was issued: Keele '67 and Nottingham '77. There were basically contemporary confessions of faith and practice. In 1978 Anglo-Catholics held a national conference at Loughborough but this produced no statement. It is hoped that such a document will be produced by a follow-up conference projected for the future. According to John Henry Newman, who moved from evangelical­ ism to Tractarianism to Roman Catholicism, the Tractarian Move­ ment began on 14 July 1833 when his friend John Keble preached the assize sermon in the university pulpit of Oxford. It was publ.shed as National Apostasy. Probably it is more accurate to state that Tract­ arianism began when Newman began to write and distribute the Tracts for the Times in September 1833. It represented a develop­ ment (or some would say, corruption) of traditional high-church principles and doctrines. The dating of the origin of evangelicalism is more difficult. Some would want to trace it to the Reformation of the sixteenth century but it is more realistic to trace it to the Evangelical Revival of the eighteenth century. In this revival we have the beginnings of the parish (as opposed to itinerant) ministries of clergy of evangelical convictions-William Romaine of London, for example. Therefore, when Tractarianism appeared in the English Church, evangelicalism was producing a third generation of clergy and laity. Not a few of the leading Tractarians had enjoyed an evangelical upbringing.1 It is an interesting question as to whether it may be claimed that Tractarianism is the true or the logical climax of Anglican evangel­ icalism.

STUTZ 2009 Christians, Critics, and Romantics: Aesthetic Discourse among Anglo-American Evangelicals, 1830-1900 Chad P. Stutz Professor Judith Wilt, advisor ABSTRACT Though contemporary evangelical Protestants have shown an increased interest in the fine arts, scholars have often seen the aesthetic history of Anglo-American evangelicalism as one marked by hostility and indifference. In contrast to this view, this study argues that the history of evangelicalism’s intellectual engagement with the fine arts has been complex and varied. Throughout much of the nineteenth century, evangelicals writing in a variety of denominational periodicals carried on a robust inquiry into aesthetics. This study traces the rise of this discourse among Anglo-American evangelicals and maps some of the main features of the evangelical theoretical landscape between 1830 and 1900 – a high point of evangelical critical activity. Christians, Critics, and Romantics describes how evangelicalism’s contact with Enlightenment thought initiated a break with the Puritan aesthetic tradition that contributed to the growth of a modern aesthetic consciousness among some eighteenth-century evangelicals.

  • Customary for 5:30 Eucharist Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration
    Customary for 5:30 Eucharist Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration Preparation Arrive 30 minutes prior to service. Check in with the presiding clergy, if possible, for special instructions. Lector checks the readings at the Ambo, and ask the clergy for guidance if there are any discrepancies with the bulletin. Lector also reviews the Prayers of the People in the Intercessions’ Book. Eucharistic Minister (EM) may check the Credence Table to ensure all vessels are present. Lector and EM should sit in the north transept. Reading the Lessons During the Collect of the Day, Lector moves to position beside/behind the Eucharistic Minister bench. After taking the first step into the chancel, Lector performs a “deep bow” toward the Altar and Tabernacle, then stands beside the EM bench. After the Collect of the Day, Lector moves up steps and go directly to the Ambo. Do not reverence the Altar at this time, as you should have when you stepped into the chancel from the floor. Read the first lesson (please review the Lector Customary for guidance on reading in church). After the first lesson, Lector steps back a full step away from the Ambo and remains still while the Celebrant leads the Psalm (the “Gradual”). After the Psalm, Lector steps to the Ambo to read the second lesson. After the reading, Lector returns to their seat the way they came in, deeply bowing toward the Altar and Tabernacle as before (just before stepping down into the Nave). Taking Attendance During the Nicene Creed, Lector quietly performs a head count of attendance.

  • Chancel Repair Liability
    Last updated: December 2013 Chancel Repair Liability Under ancient ecclesiastical law, some landowners in England and Wales, including domestic landowners, are liable for repairs, known as “chancel repair liability”, to their local Church of England church. Owners with property in an area liable to pay chancel repairs are likely to see a fall in the value, or even saleability, of the property. The National Secular Society sees this ecclesiastical obligation as deeply unfair and anachronistic, and calls for the abolishment of it. What’s the issue? Under ancient ecclesiastical law, landowners in England and Wales, including domestic landowners, may be liable for repairs to their local pre-1537 Church of England church. Most so liable will by now have received notification from the Land Registry of a “chancel repair liability” (CRL). [The chancel is the part of a church including the altar.] Particularly if registration has taken place, owners with property in an area subject to CRL are liable to pay any CRL levied and are likely to see a fall in the value or even saleability of the property. The more premises on the land subject to this liability, the less the burden on individual landowners. Regular headlines are appearing as more discover their liability through a new registration process. Real hardship is being caused, particularly among poorer people and those whose property, often their sole asset, is one of few having to bear the cost of repairing the local ancient church. Insurance may mitigate the problems but could be expensive. A statutory mechanism exists to buy out the CRL liability from the Church, but little is known about the sums likely to be payable.

  • The Oxford Movement in Leicester in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries Gerald T
    The Oxford Movement in Leicester in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries Gerald T. Rimmington During the 1830s a small group of Oxford dons, who were also priests, believing that the Churchof England had strayed from its Catholic roots, began a movement that was to affect the churches in Leicester. This article traces the development of the Oxford Movement, through its earlier manifestation in Tractarianism, to Ritualism, its later form, in a county town that was already a bastion of Nonconformity and where Anglican Evangelicalism had also become fairly strong. Introduction Whether one regards the Oxford Movement as a colourful romantic reversion to the Church of England’s past or as ‘one of the fundamental discontinuities in the history of Anglicanism’, or even, to use Diarmaid McCulloch’s delightful terminology, as the facilitator of ‘a remarkably successful piece of theological alchemy’ to justify restoration of the primacy of the altar within Anglican worship, there can be no doubt that it changed the course of church history in England during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.1 Nigel Yates notes that Trollope’s ‘Mr Oriel’ (in Dr Thorne (1858)) was ‘a man of family and fortune’ who went up to Oxford, ‘had become inoculated there with very High Church principles, and gone into orders influenced by a feeling of enthusiastic love for the priesthood’. Though the novelist’s use of the term ‘high church’ is questionable, for it is not entirely synonymous with the Oxford Movement (or Tractarianism or Ritualism or Anglo-Catholicism) to which Mr. Oriel belonged, he had nevertheless clearly discerned that such clergymen were familiar figures in English towns and cities by that time.2 The intention in this study is to examine the circumstances in which the Oxford Movement was initiated, and thereafter grew, in a significant and rapidly growing county town that was a bastion of Nonconformity.
