    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.

Sadly, during August, a large branch fell off in the middle of the night, victim so the experts said to the phenomenon of ’summer drop’. Much to our relief we have been assured that the tree is otherwise in good health, subject to some pruning to balance what remains. So far as I’m aware that is the only negative change in the physical aspect of the College that I need to report. Work has continued on aspects of the fabric to ensure that the original Butterfield buildings are preserved and, where appropriate, enhanced. This has included a further phase of refurbishment of the rooms in Liddon Quad and of some of the floor tiling in the Hall. The main elements of a new lighting scheme in the Chapel have also been completed and, as a result, three valuable outcomes have been achieved: the mosaics are now visible,The Light of the World is lit to much better effect and the choir is able to read the music its members so ably perform.

  • SERVICES & MUSIC June 2019
    S ERVICES & M USIC June 2019 From the Canon Precentor June is always a busy month as people tend to plan parties and weddings, picnics and outdoor events in the hope of fine weather. With the end of term and summer holidays in sight, this month at the Cathedral is exceptionally busy too, and packed with musical treats and special services. So much is going on it seems most helpful to list things chronologically: On Sunday 2 June the Cathedral is hosting the first Diocesan Thy Kingdom Come service. This is in response to the Archbishop of Canterbury’s prayer initiative, in which Christians the world over are encouraged to pray the Lord’s Prayer between the Feasts of the Ascension and Pentecost. This will be a lively, upbeat service and the Bishop of Bristol is preaching. On the evening of Saturday 8 June the Cathedral Choir is giving a concert entitled Faire is the Heaven. The choir is in particularly fine voice at the moment and the programme offers a variety of well-known and slightly different pieces. Tickets are available from Opus13.co.uk, 0117 923 0164. On Sunday 9 June we will celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, the day when we re-live the time when the first disciples received the gift of the Holy Spirit. Sunday 16 June is Trinity Sunday, when as the Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, we will celebrate our Feast of Title. On this special occasion we are delighted that the Bishop of Bristol will be with us to confirm ten of our young people.
