  • 2017-November-Cathedral-News.Pdf
    Cathedral News November 2017 – No. 668 From the Acting Dean The battle of Monte Cassino in Italy, during the Second World War, was a long drawn out fight. The mountains around the valley made an ideal defensive line for the Germans. The Allies sent in wave after wave of attacks over four months. The Commonwealth War Graves in the valley, and the Polish Cemetery, behind the famous Benedictine Abbey on the mountain, are testament to the numbers killed. I led a Royal British Legion Pilgrimage to Italy a few years ago for veterans, and families of those who fought or died in that campaign. We held a service of remembrance at the Commonwealth War Cemetery; it was forty-nine years to the day that one of the veterans had been shot and badly injured in that battle. He collapsed in tears as he remembered not just his own experience, but the fact that his best friend had died at his side. Another party joined us in our service – younger veterans from recent conflicts; many going through similar traumas of loss and bewilderment. The Polish nation fought bravely on many fronts. Their fighter squadrons flew in defence of our nation, and the City of Exeter. After Evensong on the 15th November, we will be unveiling a plaque in memory of the sacrifices that the Polish airmen made on our behalf – a permanent memorial and reminder of the bravery of the few in the defence of the many. It also reminds us of the indiscriminate nature of war - where death can be delivered on a civilian population by bombers thousands of feet above a city.

  • British Protestant Missions and the Conversion of Europe, 1600–1900
    British Protestant Missions and the Conversion of Europe, 1600–1900 This book is the first account of British Protestant conversion initiatives directed towards continental Europe between 1600 and 1900. Continental Europe was considered a missionary land – another periphery of the world, whose centre was imperial Britain. British missions to Europe were informed by religious experiments in America, Africa, and Asia, rendering these offensives against Europe a true form of “imaginary colonialism.” British Protestant missionaries often understood themselves to be at the forefront of a civilising project directed at Catholics (and sometimes even at other Protestants). Their mission was further reinforced by Britain becoming a land of compassionate refuge for European dissenters and exiles. This book engages with the myth of International Protestantism, questioning its early origins and its narrative of transnational belonging, while also interrogating Britain as an imagined Protestant land of hope and glory. In the history of Western Christianities, “converting Europe” had a role that has not been adequately investigated. This is the story of the attempted, and ultimately failed, effort to convert a continent. Simone Maghenzani is Dame Marilyn Strathern Lecturer in History, and Fellow and Director of Studies at Girton College, University of Cambridge. Stefano Villani is Associate Professor at the University of Maryland, College Park. Routledge Studies in Early Modern Religious Dissents and Radicalism Series editors: Federico Barbierato, Hannah Marcus, Stefano Villani and Xenia von Tippelskirch Titles in this series address the discursive constructions of religious dissent and the practices of radical movements in the early modern world. The series transcends traditional national and confessional historiographies to examine early modern reli- gious culture as a dynamic system that was essential in forging complex identities and encouraging dialogue among them.
