We must, however, be patient with the process of restrictions being lifted and I suspect church services in person will still be some time away ... so, it was very encouraging to see a good number of parishioners join in our Zoom service last Sunday. People were really delighted to see one another. We will meet in this way each Sunday at 10.30am for the duration of our confinement to barracks. The login details are: Join our Sunday Zoom Service https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85815697155?pwd=cERsSklnUUcwZ3BoeG5zSlAyallSZz09 Meeting ID: 858 1569 7155 Password: 044061 Again, like last week, you might like to have a candle with you this Sunday morning, ready to light as part of an Easter candle lighting liturgy at the beginning of our service. You can also use the same log-in details to join us at 10.30am on Wednesday for a virtual morning tea and compline at 9pm Monday-Friday. For Compline, the order of service is available from the Church of England website or via their app - deatils here https://www.churchofengland.org/prayer- and-worship/join-us-service-daily-prayer Pax, - 3 - SENTENCE - FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER ‘I am the good shepherd,’ says the Lord. ‘The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.’ John 10.11 THE COLLECT God of all power, you called from death our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep: send us as shepherds to rescue the lost, to heal the injured, and to feed one another with understanding; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. THE FIRST LESSON ACTS 2.42-47 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved. PSALM 23 The Lord is my shepherd: therefore can I lack nothing. He will make me lie down in green pastures: and lead me beside still waters. He will refresh my soul: and guide me in right pathways for his name’s sake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me, your rod and your staff comfort me. You spread a table before me in the face of those who trouble me: you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full. Surely your goodness and loving-kindness will follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. - 4 - SECOND LESSON: 1 PETER 2.1-10 Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, and all guile, insincerity, envy, and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in scripture: ‘See, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.’ To you then who believe, he is precious; but for those who do not believe, ‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the very head of the corner’, and ‘A stone that makes them stumble, and a rock that makes them fall.’They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. THE GOSPEL: JOHN 10.1-10 ‘Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.’ Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. So again Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. - 5 - - 6 - FROM THE PULPIT: THE REVEREND BEN EDWARDS HE GOOD SHEPHERD is an endearing and one of the most favoured images of Jesus. A tender, consoling image it has proved a tremendously popular subject of stained glass windows. St TPaul’s has its own Good Shepherd window in the baptistery, reproduced opposite. Study the image. Healthy, royal show presentable sheep, well-groomed shepherd with pristine sweeping robes, soft gaze …and note the bare feet ... how green and lush that pasture must be! Bucolic bliss. Well, as charming and heart-warming as this is, it rather sanitises and detracts from the image that is being conveyed to us in the Scriptures. The Good Shepherd of stained glass windows tends to be heavily airbrushed - the earthy realities of what this image of the Good Shepherd really means are removed from the frame. The type of shepherd the Psalmist speaks of, known from his personal experience, and the shepherding with which Jesus was familiar, are far removed from this pristine, dappled and sentimental pastoral image. The type of shephered we are really concerned with here is the sort that led sheep to find water and pasture, that protected flocks by fighting off attackers with rods and hooking stray sheep with a staff to rescue them. These were shepherds who, in the hot months would build temporary sheepfolds to protect their sheep while moving them about searching for pasture and water; sleeping across the opening of the enclosures to protect their sheep. This was dirty, dusty, smelly, dangerous and tough work. No pristine flowing raiments. No lush, flowing hair. No fat, cuddly white sheep gazing ador i ngly… Even in 21st century Australia, shepherding is still hard, dirty work. Thinking of the image of the Good Shepherd my mind turns to the sheep farmers, shearers and graziers that were my neighbours in Orange my parishioners at Molong. I recall the tired, stooped frames – backs that have been bent over working with sheep, weathered faces, strong arms, and above all the coarse, leathery hands stretched out to receive Holy Communion – hands from which the dirty residue of hard outdoor work cannot be completely washed away.

  • 1 Establishment of the Church and the Parish of Stoke Gabriel The
    Establishment of the Church and the Parish of Stoke Gabriel The founding of the church and the establishment of the parish of Stoke Gabriel are largely informed by the records of the Bishops of Exeter and the Dean and Chapter of Exeter Cathedral. The register of Bishop Bronescombe (1257-80) is of particular note since he was the first Bishop of Exeter to keep a register of his activities, following the practice established by bishops elsewhere in the country. Written in Latin, these registers record the visits that the bishops made around the Diocese, their purpose and much other information, all of which helps to provide an early timeline of the church and parish. In the mediaeval period, the county of Devon had a population of about 100,000 (cf. about 1.1 million today), most of whom lived and worked in the countryside.1 The infrastructure was undeveloped and neighbourhoods were largely self-sufficient, exploiting locally available land and water resources to sustain themselves. Known at the time as “Stoche”, an Anglo Saxon word meaning “settlement”, Stoke Gabriel would have been no more inaccessible than many other places in the county. Its distance from Exeter was not a problem since the registers show that the bishops regularly travelled throughout the Diocese, which at that time included Cornwall. Moreover, they regularly stayed in Paignton, the principal neighbourhood within the Manor of Paignton and the location of their palace.2 Stoke Gabriel was within the manorial estate and a mere five miles from the palace. Yet, Stoke Gabriel is rarely mentioned amongst the bishops’ itineraries.

  • The Anglo-Saxon Coins of Harthacnut
    THE ANGLO-SAXON COINS OF HARTHACNUT. BY H. ALEXANDER PARSONS. O the student who consults the two chief works of reference relating to the English coins of Harthacnut, the striking feature which presents itself is that so many Anglian types have been attributed to a reign which was one of the shortest in this country's history. The first of these works is Hildebrand's comprehensive Catalogue of Anglo-Saxon Coins in the Royal Cabinet of Coins and Medals in Stockholm, 1881. The second is the Catalogue of Anglo-Saxon Coins in the British Museum, vol. ii, 1893. Both works give nine types to the reign with their varieties. It should be mentioned, however, that, from his remarks on the types, it seems that Hildebrand had some hesitation in ascribing the bulk of the different issues to England, and he clearly states that only his Types A and B are perfectly normal English types. On the other hand, in the introduction to the British Museum Catalogtie, p. xcii, it is stated that " we need not question that the types described by Hildebrand are English," although in the catalogue itself the authors indicate that one of their types, together with a variety of another, may be Danish copies of English coins, and they further exclude, altogether, one of Hildebrands types on the plea that it is Danish, p. 321. From these remarks it will readily be seen that the published English issues of Harthacnut are the subject of considerable confusion and uncertainty, and it may at once be stated that before it is possible to be constructive it is necessary to be destructive.

If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication 1 Liturgy as History: The Origins of the Exeter Martyrology Sarah Hamilton, University of Exeter Abstract Through an Anglo-Norman case study, this article highlights the value of normative liturgical material for scholars interested in the role which saints’ cults played in the history and identity of religious communities. The records of Anglo-Saxon cults are largely the work of Anglo-Norman monks. Historians exploring why this was the case have therefore concentrated upon hagiographical texts about individual Anglo-Saxon saints composed in and for monastic communities in the post-Conquest period. This article shifts the focus away from the monastic to those secular clerical communities which did not commission specific accounts, and away from individual cults, to uncover the potential of historical martyrologies for showing how such secular communities remembered and understood their own past through the cult of saints. Exeter Cathedral Library, Ms 3518, is a copy of the martyrology by the ninth-century Frankish monk, Usuard of Saint-Germain-des-Prés , written in and for Exeter cathedral’s canons in the mid-twelfth century.

  • KING CNUT's LAST COINAGE? Robert L. Schichler on 12
    KING CNUT’S LAST COINAGE? Robert L. Schichler On 12 November 1035, Cnut the Great died, leaving uncertain in England the matter of the royal succession, for the king had not named a successor (O’Brien 159). Two of his sons, by different women, were preoccupied in Scandinavia: Swein, Cnut’s eldest son from his earlier union with Ælfgifu of Northampton, had recently been deposed as regent or king of Norway and had fled to seek the support of his half- brother Harthacnut, Cnut’s son by Queen Emma (also called Ælfgifu by the English), who was reigning in Denmark. These two sons, on good terms with each other, then apparently agreed to a geographical division of England, the southern section going to Harthacnut, the northern section to Swein. Because neither of them could leave Denmark at this time, the decision was made that Cnut’s middle son Harold Harefoot, full-brother to Swein and half-brother to Harthacnut, should oversee the affairs of England in their absence (Howard 51-52). This plan, however, met with the objection of Queen Emma, who, distrusting Harold and his mother, was watching out for the interests of her son Harthacnut, and did not wish to lose her own position of power. She had even anticipated such a dreaded development when agreeing to marry Cnut in 1017; mindful of the children of the other Ælfgifu and Cnut, Emma had made it a condition of her acceptance of the marriage that no other son but her own (by Cnut) should succeed to the throne: “But she refused ever to become the bride of Knútr, unless he would affirm to her by oath, that he would never set up the son of any wife other than herself to rule after him, if it happened that God should give her a son by him.

    The Cult of St Æthelwold and its Context, c. 984 - c. 1400 Rebecca Browett Institute of Historical Research School of Advanced Study, University of London A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Ph.D in History September 2016 1 Declaration This thesis is submitted to the University of London in support of my application for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. I, Rebecca Browett, hereby confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own, carried out during the course of my studies. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the consent of the author. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis documents the cult of St Æthelwold, a tenth-century bishop of Winchester, from its inception (c. 984) until the late Middle Ages. During his life, Æthelwold was an authoritative figure who reformed monasteries in southern England. Those communities subsequently venerated him as a saint and this thesis examines his cult at those centres. In particular, it studies how his cult enabled monasteries to forge their identities and to protect their rights from avaricious bishops. It analyses the changing levels of veneration accorded to Æthelwold over a five hundred year period and compares this with other well-known saints’ cults. It uses diverse evidence from hagiographies, chronicles, chartularies, poems, church dedications, wall paintings, and architecture. Very few studies have attempted to chart the development of an early English saint's cult over such a long time period, and my multidisciplinary approach, using history, art, and literary studies, offers insight into the changing role of native saints in the English church and society over the course of the Middle Ages.

He died at Winchester in 1067, and was buried in his cathedral church at Dorchester (ASChr D; John of Worcester, ed. McGurk, iii. 4–5). Dorchester was thus the first bishopric to fall vacant after the Conquest. William I’s choice for the new bishop was Remigius, as William of Malmesbury tells us (Gesta pontificum Anglorum IV § 177, ed. Winterbottom, i. 472–3). Remigius had been a monk of Fécamp. He gave help on a large scale to William duke of the Normans when he came to England, on condition that he received a bishopric in the event of victory; and William was as eager to give as Remigius to receive. Pope Alexander, as I have said, found him guilty for this and penalized him, but at the request of Archbishop Lanfranc he restored him to his office. In his first years he had great plans for Dorchester, which he started to implement; but in the end he transferred his see, together with all his attention, to the city of Lincoln, one of the most populous in England, a market for those coming by land and sea.
