  • The David Nicholls Memorial Lectures No. 1 1999 “STEPPING out OF
    The David Nicholls Memorial Lectures No. 1 1999 “STEPPING OUT OF BABYLON: THEOLOGY AND POLITICS IN THE THOUGHT OF DAVID NICHOLLS” Kenneth Leech “STEPPING OUT OF BABYLON: THEOLOGY AND POLITICS IN THE THOUGHT OF DAVID NICHOLLS” The first David Nicholls Memorial Lecture, given at Regents Park College, Oxford, on 9th October 1999 by KENNETH LEECH On hearing the news of David’s death, his dear friend Fr Percy Coleman commented: ‘David did not care about the world -yet he cared passionately about the world.’ In this Zen-like, typically ‘Percyan’ utterance, he captured the heart, the dialectical core, of David Nicholls’s thought: worldly and otherworldly, caring nothing for worldly power and status, caring deeply about justice and mercy in the world. David Nicholls was both a political theorist and a theologian. His political work involved the study of pluralism in the thought of JN Figgis, the political history of Haiti from Dessalines to Duvalier, and, in the years before his death, the relationship between political structures and images of God, the subject of his Hulsean Lectures. Two volumes, Deity and Domination and God and Government, have appeared. He was a polymath: the political scientist; the theologian; the humble and caring parish priest in Littlemore; the polemical pamphleteer; the historian of the Caribbean; and so much else. Chris Rowland, in a talk given shortly after David’s death, said that, while he was never part of the ‘inner circle’ of Oxford theology, he ‘embodied in his life and writing all that is best in Oxford theology’. Many people knew only one or two sides of his life and work.

God and Mrs Thatcher: Religion and Politics in 1980s Britain Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2010 Liza Filby University of Warwick University ID Number: 0558769 1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own. ……………………………………………… Date………… 2 Abstract The core theme of this thesis explores the evolving position of religion in the British public realm in the 1980s. Recent scholarship on modern religious history has sought to relocate Britain‟s „secularization moment‟ from the industrialization of the nineteenth century to the social and cultural upheavals of the 1960s. My thesis seeks to add to this debate by examining the way in which the established Church and Christian doctrine continued to play a central role in the politics of the 1980s. More specifically it analyses the conflict between the Conservative party and the once labelled „Tory party at Prayer‟, the Church of England. Both Church and state during this period were at loggerheads, projecting contrasting visions of the Christian underpinnings of the nation‟s political values. The first part of this thesis addresses the established Church.

  • The Religious Mind of Mrs Thatcher
    The Religious Mind of Mrs Thatcher Antonio E. Weiss June 2011 The religious mind of Mrs Thatcher 2 ------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT Addressing a significant historical and biographical gap in accounts of the life of Margaret Thatcher, this paper focuses on the formation of Mrs Thatcher’s religious beliefs, their application during her premiership, and the reception of these beliefs. Using the previously unseen sermon notes of her father, Alfred Roberts, as well as the text of three religious sermons Thatcher delivered during her political career and numerous interviews she gave speaking on her faith, this paper suggests that the popular view of Roberts’ religious beliefs have been wide of the mark, and that Thatcher was a deeply religious politician who took many of her moral and religious beliefs from her upbringing. In the conclusion, further areas for research linking Thatcher’s faith and its political implications are suggested. Throughout this paper, hyperlinks are made to the Thatcher Foundation website (www.margaretthatcher.org) where the sermons, speeches, and interviews that Margaret Thatcher gave on her religious beliefs can be found. The religious mind of Mrs Thatcher 3 ------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION ‘The fundamental reason of being put on earth is so to improve your character that you are fit for the next world.’1 Margaret Thatcher on Today BBC Radio 4 6 June 1987 Every British Prime Minister since the sixties has claimed belief in God. This paper will focus on just one – Margaret Thatcher. In essence, five substantive points are argued here which should markedly alter perceptions of Thatcher in both a biographical and a political sense.

    78 I Churchman Book Reviews) BUSTLING INTERMEDDLER?: THE LIFE AND WORK OF CHARLES JAMES BLOMFIELD Malcolm Johnson Leominster: Gracewing 2001 210pp £14.99pb ISBN 0-85244 -546-6 'Awesome in his industry'; 'The most marvellous power of despatching business'; 'He entered every part of national life, sacred and secular'; but 'not much of a spiritual guide'. If anybody had quoted those phrases to me and asked me to guess the prelate they referred to, I think that I would have chosen Geoffrey Fisher. In fact, they are all from this book and I refer to Charles James Blomfield (1786-1857), who, like Fisher, was Bishop of London but for a much longer time (1828-1856) and for most of that period, in Sydney Smith's witty phrase, 'the Church of England here on earth'. It was a time of great change for the church, especially after 1832 when the post-Reform Act Whig Government intervened extensively in church affairs. Blomfield, as the pragmatic church politician, worked with it in that decade which saw the establishment of the Ecclesiastical Commission and the abolition or modification of many of the anomalies in clerical duties and payments. He supported, for example, the Dean and Chapter Bill (1840) which ironed out some of the differences between rich and poorer cathedrals 'on the grounds of expediency, necessity and urgency' (p 79). Right as this was, Blomfield received, like many another politician, more brickbats than bouquets for his part in it. Blomfield was essentially a practical man, a master of the art of the possible, stretching opportunity as far as it would go, as all such masters do.

  • My Personal Debt to George Macdonald
    My Personal Debt to George MacDonald Lord Blanch (formerly the Most Rev. Stuart Blanch, Archbishop of York) hen I sat down and began to think, how did I know about George MacDonald?—IW assume it must have been through C. S. Lewis, but I have no proof of it. Certainly I was first introduced to him through the Unspoken Sermons and then, subsequently, through the Diary of an Old Soul. I am no expert at all in the tales of fantasy and imagination; so it is about the theology of George MacDonald that I want to speak—not in a technical sense, but simply because the theology of George MacDonald has always chimed in with my own preconceptions. He is not, of course, an academic theologian—as he describes them in his Unspoken Sermons, “spinning his cobwebs in the dark.” That does describe some of the activities which MacDonald rightly attributed to the theologians of his day. He was not “spinning his cobwebs in the dark,” but he was a man deeply irvolved in the life of the world, and his theology is inseparable from that world in which he lived. I want now to say something about those aspects of his life which influenced his theology—what are the characteristics of it. The theology is dominated by experience, first of all in the pastorate. He was born in 1824, he entered King’s College, Aberdeen, in 1840, and in 1850 he began a pastorate at Arundel. And so the story goes, well documented by Greville MacDonald’s biography: he was starved out by the deacons for his so-called heterodox opinions.

    Book Reviews IAN CUNDY reviews THE FINAL REPORT: Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission Catholic Truth Society 1982 ISBN 0 85183 4515 SPCK 1982 122pp £1.95 ISBN0281 038597 The long-awaited (and much leaked) final report of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission was published on 29 March 1982. Pre­ publication headlines suggesting that Anglicans were being asked to accept the papacy, hook, line and sinker (or rather cathedra, tiara and curia?) have ensured that it will be controversial. That it is, but not in the way suggested. The Times leader was nearer the mark in saying: 'Among Anglicans and other Protestant churchmen the Commission's statement may be received as a description of how many of them, and some Roman Catholics, would like the primacy of Rome to function. They will have difficulty in believing that it conveys a reliable portrait of what the primacy has been or what it now is.' It lays before us a concept of primacy in collegiality that many Anglicans, including readers of Churchman, could accept. In the process, it defines away many of the papal claims which have caused so many problems; but the ideal is so far removed from the present reality (and in places the former can be unpacked in terms of the latter, albeit with difficulty) that it is difficult to conceive of it as an achievable concept. The Final Report contains all the material emanating from ARCIC since its creation in 1970, together with the Malta Report (1968) of the Preparatory Commission and the Common Declarations of 1966 and 1977.

    A COMPLETE IDENTITY: THE IMAGE OF THE HERO IN THE WORK OF G. A. HENTY (1832–1902) AND GEORGE MACDONALD (1824–1905) RACHEL E. JOHNSON A thesis submitted in part fulfilment of the University’s requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy JULY 2008 Coventry University in association with The University of Worcester “I declare that the work in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated. It has not been previously submitted to any other university, in total or in part, for the award of a degree.” ii Abstract This study is an examination of the hero image in the work of G.A. Henty (1832-1902) and George MacDonald (1824-1905) and a reassessment of the hitherto oppositional critiques of their writing. The argument driving the reassessment is that their writing is not oppositional but is complementary and that the ideology embedded in their work is communicated through the character of the hero through genre and through their interpretation of their historical period. The central hypothesis is that the reflexive characteristics of the hero image demonstrate a complete identity commensurate with the hero figure of the Victorian ideal. This hypothesis is demonstrated through the analysis of chosen texts from the work of Henty and MacDonald categorised by critics as written for children and by the application of ethical, genre and new historic theory. The relationship between the expansion of the British Empire and youthful heroism is established through investigation of the Victorian political, social and religious milieu, the construct of the child and the construct of the hero.
