  • HISTORY of FETCHAM CHURCH Draft 23.3.97 J Mettam
    pdfMachine by Broadgun Software - a great PDF writer! - a great PDF creator! - http://www.pdfmachine.com http://www.broadgun.com HISTORY OF FETCHAM CHURCH Draft 23.3.97 J Mettam INTRODUCTION The oldest parts of Fetcham Church were built about 1,000 years ago. At that time The Street extended southward between the church and the manor house (where Fetcham Park House now stands) to join the path over the Downs to West Humble. The Street also continued north, bearing right past where Barracks Farm now is, to ford the Mole on the way to Kingston. The Street was crossed by the Harroway, an ancient route which came into existence in BC600-300 from North Kent to the tin mining areas of Cornwall. The Harroway followed the spring line of the Lower Road in the summer and a drier route near the Leatherhead Guildford road in the winter. The Harroway became an important link between the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Kent and Wessex. Fetcham must have been one of the earliest areas of Anglo-Saxon settlement with 6th Century burial grounds on Hawks Hill and at Watersmeet. The village was clustered in the nearest part of The Street just north of the church and manor house, which is thought to have developed around the site of a Roman villa or farmhouse. The present parish boundaries probably represent the ghost of the Roman estate. The varied soil types were well suited to the mixed communal farming methods of the Anglo Saxons. The main open fields were on calcareous loam on the slopes SE and SW from the Church, which could still be described in 1809 as some of the best soil in Surrey.

  • Runaway Wives: Husband Desertion in Medieval England
    RUNAWAY WIVES: HUSBAND DESERTION IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND By Sara Butler Loyola University New Orleans Scholars of the medieval family would generally agree that the lot of the me- dieval wife was not an easy one. Medieval husbands held the upper hand in the power relationship, both legally and socially. Although Lawrence Stone's view of niarried life in the Middle Ages as "brutal and often hostile, with little communication, [and] much wife-beating" has since been called into question, more recent historians have still painted a somewhat unflattering picture.' Ju- dith Bennett writes that "[m]edieval people thought of conjugality as a hierar- chy headed by a husband who not only controlled his wife's financial assets and public behavior, but also freely enforced his will through physical violence."^ Indeed, she argues that wife-beating was "a normal part of marriage."^ Even Bar- bara Hanawalt, who has optimistically described peasant marriage in medieval England as a partnership, still concedes that occasional violence was acceptable and expected in marriage.'' What is more, the rules of coverture, which adhered to the biblical principal of husband and wife as one flesh represented at law by the husband, left a wife economically vulnerable. Because all real and movable property legally belonged to the husband as head of the household, a wife who fell out of favor with her husband might well find herself expelled from the family home, without any resources to fall back on.^ From a modern perspective, mari- tal practices hardly provided any sense of reassurance. At a time when families, more often than individuals, took the lead in spousal selection, and inheritance and status were the chief criteria, strong bonds of affection were not guaranteed.

  • GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD 1 Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops Of
    GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York issued a letter on 16th February outlining their proposals for continuing to address, as a church, questions concerning human sexuality. The Archbishops committed themselves and the House of Bishops to two new strands of work: the creation of a Pastoral Advisory Group and the development of a substantial Teaching Document on the subject. This paper outlines progress toward the realisation of these two goals. Introduction 1. Members of the General Synod will come back to the subject of human sexuality with very clear memories of the debate and vote on the paper from the House of Bishops (GS 2055) at the February 2017 group of sessions. 2. Responses to GS 2055 before and during the Synod debate in February underlined the point that the ‘subject’ of human sexuality can never simply be an ‘object’ of consideration for us, because it is about us, all of us, as persons whose being is in relationship. Yes, there are critical theological issues here that need to be addressed with intellectual rigour and a passion for God’s truth, with a recognition that in addressing them we will touch on deeply held beliefs that it can be painful to call into question. It must also be kept constantly in mind, however, that whatever we say here relates directly to fellow human beings, to their experiences and their sense of identity, to their lives and to the loves that shape and sustain them.

  • PARISH MAGAZINE MARCH 2 0 2 0 50P What the Ipswich Road Roundabout Can Teach Us About Lent
    ORDINARY PEOPLE. EXT RAORDINARY GOD. PARISH MAGAZINE MARCH 2 0 2 0 50p What the Ipswich Road roundabout can teach us about Lent For those who need to travel regularly around the Ipswich Road rounda- bout, the (I’m assured) impending completion of the roadworks must be a cause for celebration. When there are distractions, obstacles, and frus- trations making our daily lives more difficult, it’s easy (and quite natural) to become obsessed, dejected, angry - or all three! At the heart of Lent is the idea that – unlike the Ipswich Road roadworks – we have it within ourselves to remove some of the distractions, obsta- cles and frustrations in our lives that get between us and God’s love for us. Actually, that’s not quite right: we don’t do this ourselves – through our own power alone – but by asking for God’s assistance. And making that prayer for God’s help is itself part of the solution. We follow in a very long tradition of people asking God for assistance! “Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me!” “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” Instead of trying to remove those things which distract us from, or ob- struct, God’s love by obsessing about them and allowing them to loom ever larger, we should bring them to God and accept his help. When we do this, we turn our face to God, we reach out to God: we repent! So maybe the real danger each Lent isn’t the obstructions and distrac- tions in themselves, but thinking we can deal with them without God, rather than reaching out for God? When we reach out, we avoid the temptation to treat self-denial as if it is some ‘holy’ act of self-harm (which God never wants for us).

The draft Scheme carried the following as the diocesan rationale for your proposals: As the result of ongoing concerns about the financial viability and capacity for governance and mission going forward, the Bishop of Southwark held a Visitation to the parish of All Saints, Spring Park in 2016. This was conducted by the Bishop and Archdeacon of Croydon. A series of Directions were issued as a result of this, designed to help the parish to address these areas. There has sadly been no evidence that this has been the case nor has the parish demonstrated the future capacity to do so.

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

Overview of the Diocese of Chelmsford 8 4. The Episcopal Areas and Archdeaconries 9 5. Role description and Person Specification 10 6. The Bradwell Episcopal Area 13 7. Working together 19 Appendix: The diocese and its people 20 1. Introduction What sort of episcopal oversight, leadership and ministry do we need in the diocese of Chelmsford? Since 1984 the answer to this question was the area system. That is, a system of oversight and governance, whereby the diocese was organised into three areas, with virtually all episcopal responsibilities delegated to the Area Bishop. This in turn leaves the diocesan free for strategic oversight within the diocese and for national responsibilities. The diocese of Chelmsford is what you might call, a small province rather than a big diocese. However, for about the same amount of time there has also been a recognition that this model wasn’t working as well as it might. The sheer size of the diocese has always stretched our leadership structures and resources. In 1989 a decision was made to create a fourth episcopal area, but this was never implemented beyond creating a new archdeaconry of Harlow in 1993. The question was raised several times and particularly by Bishop John Gladwin. Stephen Cottrell was enthroned as the tenth Bishop of Chelmsford in November 2010. He was appointed with a clear brief to help the Church in Essex and East London become more intentionally missional and evangelistic in all its ministry.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year.
