LORD God, when thou givest to thy servants to endeavour O any great matter, grant us also to know that it is not the beginning, but the continuing of the same unto the end, until it be thoroughly finished, which yieldeth the true glory; through him who for the finishing of thy work laid down his life, our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Amen. The Dean pronounces THE BLESSING OD grant to the living grace, to the departed rest, to the G Church, The Queen, the Commonwealth, and all mankind, peace and concord, and to us sinners life everlasting: and the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you and remain with you always. Amen. 3 .

Westminster Abbey 2013 Report to the Visitor Her Majesty the Queen
Westminster Abbey 2013 Report To The Visitor Her Majesty The Queen Your Majesty, The Dean and Chapter of the Collegiate Church of St Peter in Westminster, under the Charter of Queen Elizabeth I on 21st May 1560 and the Statutes graciously granted us by Your Majesty in a Supplemental Charter on 16th February 2012, is obliged to present an Annual Report to Your Majesty as our Visitor. It is our privilege, as well as our duty, now to present the Dean and Chapter’s Annual Report for the Year of Grace 2013. From time to time, the amount of information and the manner in which it is presented has changed. This year we present the report with more information than in recent years about the wide range of expertise on which the Dean and Chapter is able to draw from volunteers sitting on statutory and non-statutory advisory bodies. We also present more information about our senior staff under the Receiver General and Chapter Clerk who together ensure that the Abbey is managed efficiently and effectively. We believe that the account of the Abbey’s activities in the year 2013 is of wide interest. So we have presented this report in a format which we hope not only the Abbey community of staff, volunteers and regular worshippers but also the wider international public who know and love the Abbey will find attractive. It is our daily prayer and our earnest intention that we shall continue faithfully to fulfil the Abbey’s Mission: — To serve Almighty God as a ‘school of the Lord’s service’ by offering divine worship daily and publicly; — To serve the Sovereign by daily prayer and by a ready response to requests made by or on behalf of Her Majesty; — To serve the nation by fostering the place of true religion within national life, maintaining a close relationship with members of the House of Commons and House of Lords and with others in representative positions; — To serve pilgrims and all other visitors and to maintain a tradition of hospitality.

Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey A National Scout and Guide Service of Celebration and Thanksgiving Saturday 3rd November 2018 Noon HISTORICAL NOTE Following the death of The Chief Scout of the World, The Lord Baden-Powell OM GCMG GCVO KCB DL, in 1941, a memorial stone was unveiled in Westminster Abbey on 23rd April 1947. From then until 1955, Scouting Headquarters staff and some members held an annual wreathlaying and a small service in the Abbey. In 1957, the centenary of Baden-Powell’s birth, the service was attended by members of the Royal Family. In years thereafter it was referred to as a Service of Thanksgiving, and became a much bigger celebration. From 1959 onwards, the service was held on the nearest Saturday to 22nd February and from 1978, following the death of Lady Baden-Powell GBE the previous year, this annual service changed in style and name to a joint celebration of Thinking Day and Founder’s Day. In 1981, a memorial was dedicated to Lord and Lady Baden-Powell in Westminster Abbey. In 2011, the arrangements for the service were reviewed and changed in the light of increasing local opportunities to celebrate these special occasions. The current arrangement nevertheless maintains the tradition of the annual service at Westminster Abbey, now known as the National Scout and Guide Service of Celebration and Thanksgiving and focuses on thanking the adult volunteer leaders and supporters for their service and dedication. WESTMINSTER ABBEY We cannot say with certainty when Westminster Abbey was founded, but we know that around the year 960 Benedictine monks settled on the marshy north bank of the Thames, in a place called Thorney Island.

Authors of Articles in the Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review
Authors of Articles in The Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review [Volume I (1829) through Volume XL (1868)] Compiled by Earl William Kennedy 1963 Edited by Wayne Sparkman, Director of the PCA Historical Center, St. Louis, MO. with corrections, the addition of pagination, and information for Volumes XLI (1869) through XLIII (1871). 2007 INTRODUCTION This compilation is designed to make possible the immediate identification of the author(s) of any given article (or articles) in the Princeton Review. Unless otherwise stated, it is based on the alphabetical list of authors in the Index Volume from 1825 to 1868 (published in 1871), where each author‘s articles are arranged chronologically under his name. This Index Volume list in turn is based upon the recollections of several men closely associated with the Review. The following account is given of its genesis: ―Like the other great Reviews of the periods the writers contributed to its pages anonymously, and for many years no one kept any account of their labours. Dr. [Matthew B.] Hope [died 1859] was the first who attempted to ascertain the names of the writers in the early volumes, and he was only partially successful. With the aid of his notes, and the assistance of Dr. John Hall of Trenton, Dr. John C. Backus of Baltimore, and Dr. Samuel D. Alexander of New York, the companions and friends of the Editor and his early coadjutors, the information on this head here collected is as complete as it is possible now to be given.‖ (Index Volume, iii; of LSM, II, 271n; for meaning of symbols, see below) The Index Volume is usually but not always reliable.

George Abbot 1562-1633 Archbishop of Canterbury
English book owners in the seventeenth century: a work in progress listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: • What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? • How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? • How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. The Cambridge History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland (2006) contains much relevant information in this field, summarising existing scholarship, and references to this have been included in individual entries below where appropriate.

Final (Amended 06.07.2016)
Final (amended 06.07.2016) Westminster Abbey Monday July 4th 2016 Fortieth anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood of The Very Revd John Hall, Dean of Westminster Sermon by The Rt Revd Graham James, Bishop of Norwich “We are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us…” (II Corinthians 5. 20) It is a privilege to preach at this Eucharist, just as it was to be the deacon at John Hall’s first mass at St John the Divine, Kennington, forty years ago. In those days John and I were the young hope of the Church of England. Now we are on the brink of becoming blasts from the past. The years seem to have slipped by astonishingly quickly. I vividly remember John’s first mass, since the MC taught me how to walk properly in procession and especially down steps in the approved St John the Divine, Kennington manner – at the right speed and so that it looked as if I was gliding. No processional training could have been better for a future Dean of Westminster, for here gliding is compulsory. John has been an ambassador for Christ, to use St Paul’s striking phrase in our epistle, in very different contexts in his ministry. As an ambassador for God, Church and Crown in this abbey church John has regularly received ambassadors, as well as the presidents and monarchs to whom they owe allegiance. But John’s diplomatic qualities were perhaps most constructively utilised when he worked on the other side of Dean’s Yard at Church House for the National Society and the Education Division.

This is Justin Welby’s third formal visit to the Abbey this year. There will be many such occasions, to which we look forward. We shall continue to offer the resources of the Abbey in support of the Archbishop’s ministry. One of today’s candidates is well known to the Abbey community. Jonathan Goodall is a Priest Vicar of the Abbey and formerly a Minor Canon. More recently , at Lambeth Palace , he has been the principal link with the Archbishop in planning the many occasions on which he leads or participates in worship here. Martyn Snow comes not as a stranger , but as a missionary from the great city and diocese of Sheffield, pausing in this once-Benedictine house on his pilgrim way to take the title of another whose Norman church survives as ours did not.
