  • Introduction to Evelyn Underhill, “Church Congress Syllabus No. 3: the Christian Doctrine of Sin and Salvation, Part III: Worship”
    ATR/100.3 Introduction to Evelyn Underhill, “Church Congress Syllabus No. 3: The Christian Doctrine of Sin and Salvation, Part III: Worship” Kathleen Henderson Staudt* This short piece by Evelyn Underhill (1875–1941) appeared in a publication from the US Church Congress movement in the 1930s. It presents a remarkably concise summary of her major thought from this period.1 By this time, she was a well-known voice among Angli- cans. Indeed, Archbishop Michael Ramsey wrote that “in the twenties and thirties there were few, if indeed, any, in the Church of England who did more to help people to grasp the priority of prayer in the Christian life and the place of the contemplative element within it.”2 Underhill’s major work, Mysticism, continuously in print since its first publication in 1911, reflects at once Underhill’s broad scholarship on the mystics of the church, her engagement with such contemporaries as William James and Henri Bergson, and, perhaps most important, her curiosity and insight into the ways that the mystics’ experiences might inform the spiritual lives of ordinary people.3 The title of a later book, Practical Mysticism: A Little Book for Normal People (1914) summarizes what became most distinctive in Underhill’s voice: her ability to fuse the mystical tradition with the homely and the * Kathleen Henderson Staudt works as a teacher, poet, and spiritual director at Virginia Theological Seminary and Wesley Theological Seminary. Her poetry, essays, and reviews have appeared in Weavings, Christianity and Literature, Sewanee Theo- logical Review, Ruminate, and Spiritus. She is an officer of the Evelyn Underhill As- sociation, and facilitates the annual day of quiet held in honor of Underhill in Wash- ington, DC each June.

  • The First Bishop of Liverpool Churchman 69/4 1955
    The First Bishop of Liverpool Churchman 69/4 1955 Revd O. R. Clarke Church people of Liverpool have been celebrating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the formation of the Diocese. It is seventy-five years since Liverpool became an independent see, with a Bishop of its own. Hitherto it had been part of the Diocese of Chester, which then included South-West Lancashire. But Liverpool was a great and growing city with a crowded, vigorous life. It was a leading centre of shipping with its miles of docks, and its lively cosmopolitan life. The link with Chester, for all but officials, could clearly be only a slight and tenuous one, and Episcopal government from so distant a centre meant little. A separate Diocese was needed. Action was taken, the needed funds raised, the legal obstacles surmounted, and the See safely launched, free and independent. To think of the founding of the Diocese is to think of the first Bishop, John Charles Ryle. “A man of granite with the heart of a child, a man whose name is better known through that part of Christendom where the English language is spoken than that of any other save Charles Spurgeon”—such was the generous tribute paid to him by his successor, Bishop Chavasse. Ryle was the first Bishop of the new Diocese, and rightly proud of the fact. His critics—and no man is without critics—declared that he would not allow the fact that he was the first to be forgotten. Yet such pride in his Diocese was natural and proper.

  • Welsh Disestablishment: 'A Blessing in Disguise'
    Welsh disestablishment: ‘A blessing in disguise’. David W. Jones The history of the protracted campaign to achieve Welsh disestablishment was to be characterised by a litany of broken pledges and frustrated attempts. It was also an exemplar of the ‘democratic deficit’ which has haunted Welsh politics. As Sir Henry Lewis1 declared in 1914: ‘The demand for disestablishment is a symptom of the times. It is the democracy that asks for it, not the Nonconformists. The demand is national, not denominational’.2 The Welsh Church Act in 1914 represented the outcome of the final, desperate scramble to cross the legislative line, oozing political compromise and equivocation in its wake. Even then, it would not have taken place without the fortuitous occurrence of constitutional change created by the Parliament Act 1911. This removed the obstacle of veto by the House of Lords, but still allowed for statutory delay. Lord Rosebery, the prime minister, had warned a Liberal meeting in Cardiff in 1895 that the Welsh demand for disestablishment faced a harsh democratic reality, in that: ‘it is hard for the representatives of the other 37 millions of population which are comprised in the United Kingdom to give first and the foremost place to a measure which affects only a million and a half’.3 But in case his audience were insufficiently disheartened by his homily, he added that there was: ‘another and more permanent barrier which opposes itself to your wishes in respect to Welsh Disestablishment’, being the intransigence of the House of Lords.4 The legislative delay which the Lords could invoke meant that the Welsh Church Bill was introduced to parliament on 23 April 1912, but it was not to be enacted until 18 September 1914.

  • Chapter 3: the Patrician Response
    3 The Patrician Response On the north side of Washington Square, on the square itself and on streets adjacent to lower Fifth Avenue, were the homes of the upper- class Villagers. These patricians were Protestants of Dutch, English, and French stock, some of them heirs to old wealth and to the handsome resi- dences that their parents or grandparents had built before the Civil War. Culturally, religiously, and politically, the north Village gentry had little in common with most of their near neighbors, the working-class and immi- grant Villagers who lived south and west of the square. Italian immigrants and Irish Americans worshipped at Catholic churches, while the gentry at- tended Sunday services at Protestant edifices along lower Fifth Avenue, elite congregations such as the First Presbyterian Church and the Episcopal Church of the Ascension. Irish, Italian, and African American Villagers gathered to drink and socialize in the numerous working-class saloons of the west and south Village, while the Protestant elite socialized in the ele- gant drawing rooms of their homes. These cultural and class contrasts were reflected in political rivalries, especially between the Irish Villagers loyal to the Democratic machine and the patrician Villagers who deeply distrusted Tammany rule. Again and again the Village gentry, whether they were Re- publicans, Independents, or Democrats, organized to challenge Tammany’s control of the city. By the turn of the twentieth century, the future of this upper-class north 77 78 chapter three Village enclave seemed increasingly uncertain. Tenementhousing and Ital- ian immigrants were invading the Village from the south, and commercial buildings were encroaching on the square from the east.

  • Bishop J C Ryle
    Bishop J C Ryle Eric Russell Liverpool became a diocese in 1880. For over 300 years south-west Lancashire had been part of the diocese of Chester, but with the rapid growth in population due to the industrial revolution, the building of the railways and the development of the vast docks system on the banks of the Mersey, voices were raised advocating a further division of the ancient diocese of Chester and the creation of a new diocese centred on Liverpool. Earlier in the century the diocese of Ripon had been reconstituted and Chester lost its Yorkshire territory. Another sub-division was made in 1847 when the diocese of Manchester was created to meet the religious needs of south Lancashire. Chester was again reduced in size when the counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland were transferred in 1856 to Carlisle. The diocese of Chester over the years had been considerably reduced in area, but due to the movement of workers to south-west Lancashire to meet the demands of industry, the population was constantly increasing and making it more and more difficult for the Church to fulfil her ministry. Victorian Liverpool Liverpool in the closing decades of the nineteenth century was fast becoming the hub of trade and commerce in the north-west of England. Manufacturers in the great industrial centres of Lancashire and Yorkshire exported their goods through the port. Iron and steel, machinery, textiles, manufactured goods and pottery were among the numerous items exported, and grain, raw cotton, sugar-cane, tobacco, timber and meat were some of the imported goods unloaded at the docks.

  • The Oxford Movement in Leicester in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries Gerald T
    The Oxford Movement in Leicester in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries Gerald T. Rimmington During the 1830s a small group of Oxford dons, who were also priests, believing that the Churchof England had strayed from its Catholic roots, began a movement that was to affect the churches in Leicester. This article traces the development of the Oxford Movement, through its earlier manifestation in Tractarianism, to Ritualism, its later form, in a county town that was already a bastion of Nonconformity and where Anglican Evangelicalism had also become fairly strong. Introduction Whether one regards the Oxford Movement as a colourful romantic reversion to the Church of England’s past or as ‘one of the fundamental discontinuities in the history of Anglicanism’, or even, to use Diarmaid McCulloch’s delightful terminology, as the facilitator of ‘a remarkably successful piece of theological alchemy’ to justify restoration of the primacy of the altar within Anglican worship, there can be no doubt that it changed the course of church history in England during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.1 Nigel Yates notes that Trollope’s ‘Mr Oriel’ (in Dr Thorne (1858)) was ‘a man of family and fortune’ who went up to Oxford, ‘had become inoculated there with very High Church principles, and gone into orders influenced by a feeling of enthusiastic love for the priesthood’. Though the novelist’s use of the term ‘high church’ is questionable, for it is not entirely synonymous with the Oxford Movement (or Tractarianism or Ritualism or Anglo-Catholicism) to which Mr. Oriel belonged, he had nevertheless clearly discerned that such clergymen were familiar figures in English towns and cities by that time.2 The intention in this study is to examine the circumstances in which the Oxford Movement was initiated, and thereafter grew, in a significant and rapidly growing county town that was a bastion of Nonconformity.
