    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.

  • Feasibility Study Into the Future Use and Management of Broadway Quarry
    Feasibility Study into the future use and management of Broadway Quarry In partnership with: Summary This feasibility study has been supported with funding from Natural England through DEFRA‟s Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF). It has been managed by the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust, in collaboration with the Steering Group, as well as additional parties that have become engaged in the process. The co-operation and support from the landowners should also be acknowledged, as without them, this study would not have been possible. The aim of the study has been to identify, in consultation with a wide number of stakeholders, the issues and options regarding the post-restoration management and use of Broadway Quarry. The study has sought to identify a clear framework to guide future development and management in a sustainable way to the advantage and needs of the landowners, nature conservation, industry and the local community. This report covers all the issues identified during the course of the study. These include the landowner interests, geological and wildlife interest, industrial heritage, managed access, local community needs and ensuring that the benefits of the Quarry Restoration are secured on a permanent basis past the Quarry Operator‟s 5 year duty of after-care. The study also aimed to provide generic guidance and advice on the restoration of aggregate sites with a potential high nature conservation value and educational interest. This included looking at provisions for long term management of restored sites and their access arrangements. Contents Page 1.
