  • The Report of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission
    THE REPORT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY’S COMMISSION ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS TO THE WIDER CHURCH OF ENGLAND 30 September 2019 Letter from the Chair of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Commission on the relationship of the Channel Islands to the wider Church of England, the Right Revd & Rt Hon the Lord Chartres, GCVO PC Dear Archbishop, At the beginning of the work of the Commission you insisted that we should not seek to pass judgement on the unhappy sequence of events which precipitated the breakdown of relations between the Diocese of Winchester and the Deaneries of Guernsey and Jersey. Rather we were to focus on the possibility and shape of a future relationship conducive to the mutual flourishing of the Church in the Islands and the wider Church of England. We were charged to consult with the ecclesiastical and secular authorities in the Islands, with the Bishop of Winchester, his staff and other interested parties. This we have endeavoured to do. In the Report which follows we have proposed a way forward which, I believe, honours the polity of the Church of England and in particular the enhanced level of accountability of its bishops in the light of recent legislation but which also recognises and respects the traditions, both legal and ecclesiastical, which obtain in the Channel Islands. Our recommendations for action are attached. I have been very fortunate to be joined in this Commission by Baroness Judith Wilcox and Sir Christopher Clarke. After a distinguished business and political career, Baroness Wilcox has been able to offer a shrewd analysis of the context for our work while Sir Christopher Clarke with his extensive experience as a former Judge of the Courts of Appeal in Guernsey and Jersey, and Lord Justice of Appeal, has contributed an invaluable legal perspective.

  • Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury: an Appreciation
    Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury: An Appreciation On Friday, 16 March, Archbishop Rowan Williams announced that he would step down as leader of the 70 million strong worldwide Anglican Communion after being at the helm for a decade. In January 2013, he will be returning to Cambridge to take up the post of Master of Magdalene College. Reflecting on his tenure as Archbishop in a media interview to mark this announcement, Williams said: ‘The worst aspects of the job, I think, have been the sense that there are some conflicts that won’t go away, however long you struggle with them, and that not everybody in the Anglican Communion or even the Church of England is eager to avoid schism or separation’. When Rowan Williams was enthroned as the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury, whose lineage could be traced to St Augustine who first set foot on British soil in 597, he was only 52, the youngest person to occupy this office for nearly 200 years. Even before he became the spiritual leader of the Anglican Communion, Williams has had a brilliant career in both academia and the Church. At just 36, he was appointed Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Oxford University, after serving as an ordained priest in Cambridge and lecturer in Divinity in the city’s university. In 1989, he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Divinity, and a year later became a fellow of the prestigious British Academy. Williams was elected and consecrated as bishop of Monmouth in 1992, and in 2002 as the Archbishop of Wales.

  • The See of Canterbury
    The See of Canterbury STEPHEN NEILL THE ARCHDEACON OF WESTMINSTER is well known for his humane, indeed urbane, historical scholarship. I can think of no one, except perhaps Canon Charles Smyth, who could have produced so engaging a panorama of a hundred archbishops of Canterbury.* Dr. Carpenter has wisely resisted the temptation to string his arch­ bishops out on a line-to make a hundred brief biographies interesting would overtax the resources of the most skilled historian and writer. He has depicted a number of them in groups. Even so the Anglo­ Saxons remain shadowy figures, and few of the medievals are really interesting. When we come to the Reformation, it seems to me that Dr. Carpenter has not fully understood the greatness of Cranmer, has been a little too kind to Pole, a little indecisive on Laud. And I do not know how anyone could make the Georgian bishops interesting; they were on the whole a poor lot, and the best of the bishops of that time, Joseph Butler, never attained to the primacy. As we approach modern times the sketches become more individual and more alive. Dr. Carpenter is very good on Tait and Davidson, good on Benson and Lang, a little weak on the two Temples. I judge it to have been a mistake to include Geoffrey Fisher-the time has not yet come at which it will be possible to see in perspective that enigmatic figure. His remarks on the present holder of the office are thin and unrevealing. So a more than competent job. My real question, however, is whether the Archdeacon was put by his publishers on to a really rewarding enterprise.

  • Thomas Becket: Chancellor, Archbishop and Saint
    Thomas Becket: Chancellor, Archbishop and Saint 7 July: feast day commemorating the translation of his remains from the crypt to Trinity Chapel shrine in the cathedral, 800 years ago, in 1220. 29 December: St. Thomas’s Becket’s feast day, commemorating his martyrdom in Canterbury Cathedral, 850 years ago, in 1170. An extensive programme of events to mark these anniversaries was planned by the cathedral at Canterbury, but because of the Covid-19 pandemic, all have been postponed until 29 December at the earliest. A pilgrimage along the medieval Pilgrim’s Way from Southwark to Canterbury has been cancelled. Holy Trinity Church’s commemorations, centred on our own medieval Becket chantry chapel, have likewise had to be postponed, but the Becket exhibition in the church celebrates these significant 2020 dual anniversaries. Thomas Becket was born c. 1118, in Cheapside, London, son of a Norman merchant father. He rose from these modest beginnings to become a powerful adversary of his king, Henry II, and one of the most venerated medieval Christian saints. Educated first at the Augustinian Merton Priory, then in London and Paris, he started his career serving the city sheriffs as a clerk and accountant; he then became a member of the illustrious household of Archbishop Theobald, who appointed Becket as his agent, and sent by him to study civil and canon law at Bologna and Auxerre. In 1154, Theobald made him Archdeacon of Canterbury, an important and lucrative post, and less than three months later he recommended him to Henry II as Lord Chancellor. In this post, Becket had the opportunity to distinguish himself in initiatives no longer associated with Chancellor; he razed castles, repaired the Tower of London, conducted embassies, mustered and led troops in battle, and was trusted completely by Henry, becoming his close companion and intimate friend, both at court and in the hunting field.

  • Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby
    CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY – EMBARGOED UNTIL DELIVERED DOC ID GEN_19 LANGUAGE ENGLISH ORIGINAL English Christian Presence and Witness in Europe An address to the Assembly of the Conference of European Churches Novi Sad, Serbia Sunday 3 June 2018 The Most Reverend and Right Honourable Justin Welby Archbishop of Canterbury Fear is the greatest danger that afflicts Christian witness and presence. It is fear of the other that causes us to put up barriers, whether within churches, between churches and for that matter between nations. It is fear of the Other the causes us to build walls, whether spiritual or physical. It is fear of the Other that leads to divisions and eventually to the fall of civilisations. The Christian presence in Europe has existed since halfway through the first century AD It has survived the persecutions from the Roman Empire, it has continued through what are often in England called the Dark Ages, the early mediaeval period in which different tribes from outside the Empire successively overran the Western Empire, after the deposition of the last Emperor in 476. It has even survived its own internal dissensions, including the wars in Europe of the 16th and 17th Century which killed more than 1/3 of the population of Germany. It survived the destruction of Europe in the 1940s. It survived in Eastern Europe under persecution between the late 40s and 1989; I remember smuggling bibles with my wife into Romania and what was then Czechoslovakia. The Christians in this Serbia have suffered greatly, and the links with the Church of England, older even than the 180 years of diplomatic relations, bear witness to the compassion between Christians at times of war and persecution.

  • Thomas Cranmer After Five Hundred Years Churchman 104/1 1990
    Thomas Cranmer after Five Hundred Years Churchman 104/1 1990 Roger Beckwith 1. Cranmer’s Life Early Life The five hundredth anniversary of the birth of Thomas Cranmer fell on Sunday 2nd July 1989. He was born in 1489 at Aslockton (or Aslacton), a village east of Nottingham and south-east of Sherwood Forest, the second son of his father, in a family of minor gentry. His schooldays were unhappy. His father died before he was twelve, but his mother saw to it that his education continued, and at the age of fourteen (not then an unusually early age) he went up to Jesus College Cambridge. The university course was long, but in 1511 he took his B.A. and in 1514 his M.A., becoming a fellow of his college. In 1521, having studied Divinity for six years, he was granted his B.D. In the meantime he had married, lost his wife by death, been ordained and become one of the twelve university preachers. In 1526 he was granted his D.D. and made university examiner in divinity. He was now thirty-seven years of age. The Reformation on the Continent preceded that in England, and had been making headway in Germany since Luther's Ninety-Five Theses of 1517. Renaissance learning had been progressing in England since the turn of the century, and Colet and Erasmus had been promoting the study of the Greek New Testament, in the hope of remedying ecclesiastical abuses without division, though recognizing the great obstacles placed in the way of reform by the contemporary papacy.
