  • Westminster Abbey 2013 Report to the Visitor Her Majesty the Queen
    Westminster Abbey 2013 Report To The Visitor Her Majesty The Queen Your Majesty, The Dean and Chapter of the Collegiate Church of St Peter in Westminster, under the Charter of Queen Elizabeth I on 21st May 1560 and the Statutes graciously granted us by Your Majesty in a Supplemental Charter on 16th February 2012, is obliged to present an Annual Report to Your Majesty as our Visitor. It is our privilege, as well as our duty, now to present the Dean and Chapter’s Annual Report for the Year of Grace 2013. From time to time, the amount of information and the manner in which it is presented has changed. This year we present the report with more information than in recent years about the wide range of expertise on which the Dean and Chapter is able to draw from volunteers sitting on statutory and non-statutory advisory bodies. We also present more information about our senior staff under the Receiver General and Chapter Clerk who together ensure that the Abbey is managed efficiently and effectively. We believe that the account of the Abbey’s activities in the year 2013 is of wide interest. So we have presented this report in a format which we hope not only the Abbey community of staff, volunteers and regular worshippers but also the wider international public who know and love the Abbey will find attractive. It is our daily prayer and our earnest intention that we shall continue faithfully to fulfil the Abbey’s Mission: — To serve Almighty God as a ‘school of the Lord’s service’ by offering divine worship daily and publicly; — To serve the Sovereign by daily prayer and by a ready response to requests made by or on behalf of Her Majesty; — To serve the nation by fostering the place of true religion within national life, maintaining a close relationship with members of the House of Commons and House of Lords and with others in representative positions; — To serve pilgrims and all other visitors and to maintain a tradition of hospitality.

Take 2 Timothy for example. The whole letter is set against a very discouraging background of imprisonment and widespread apostasy. Or take 2 Corinthians. In chapter 1, Paul talks of being ‘so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself’ (verse 8). But as he looks back on a dreadful time, he concludes that ‘this was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly a peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again’ (vv 9-10). As we come towards the end of the third lockdown, I’m very conscious of the unremitting pressure on church leadership teams to keep ministering online, while individual members have to balance this with care for their families, and all in the relative isolation of lockdown. On top of this comes the need to plan for a changed future when there are still so many unknowns.

  • Canon Treasurer
    Canon Treasurer 1 PROFILE OF CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL St Augustine, the first Archbishop of Canterbury, arrived on the coast of Kent as a missionary to England in 597 AD. He came from Rome, sent by Pope Gregory the Great. It is said that Gregory had been struck by the beauty of Angle slaves he saw for sale in the city market and dispatched Augustine and some monks to convert them to Christianity. Augustine was given a church at Canterbury (St Martin’s, after St Martin of Tours, still standing today) by the local King, Ethelbert whose Queen, Bertha, a French Princess, was already a Christian. This building had been a place of worship during the Roman occupation of Britain and is the oldest church in England still in use. Augustine had been consecrated a bishop in France and was later made an archbishop by the Pope. He established his seat within the Roman city walls (the word cathedral is derived from the Latin word for a chair ‘cathedra’, which is itself taken from the Greek ‘kathedra’ meaning seat.) and built the first Cathedral there, becoming the first Archbishop of Canterbury. Since that time, there has been a community around the Cathedral offering daily prayer to God; this community is arguably the oldest organisation in the English speaking world. The present Archbishop, The Most Revd Justin Welby, is 105th in the line of succession from Augustine. Augustine’s original building lies beneath the floor of the nave– it was extensively rebuilt and enlarged by the Saxons, and the Cathedral was rebuilt completely by the Normans in 1070 following a major fire.

  • How Anglicans Tipped the Brexit Vote Page 1 of 2
    LSE Brexit: How Anglicans tipped the Brexit vote Page 1 of 2 How Anglicans tipped the Brexit vote Two-thirds of Anglicans voted for Brexit, a much higher proportion than in the country as a whole. Greg Smith (William Temple Foundation) and Linda Woodhead (Lancaster University) look at the reasons for the disparity and note the divergence between the beliefs of UK evangelicals – including the Archbishop of Canterbury – and ‘normal’ Anglicans. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has been busy again attacking the markets and calling for more welfare. His views are at variance with those of ordinary Anglicans, two-thirds of whom think that welfare spending is too high. Research we have just published reveals an equally significant ‘values gap’ when it comes to the EU. ‘In the run up to the referendum of 2016 Welby was against Brexit but in the vote Anglicans strongly supported it. Our exit poll of 3,242 UK adults, commissioned by Linda Woodhead immediately after the referendum, shows that exactly two-thirds (66%) of the Anglicans in England who cast a vote, voted to leave the EU. That’s higher than for England as a whole, where just over half of voters (53%) chose Leave. Stained glass at St Mary’s Church, Godmanchester. Photo: Steve Day via a CC-BY-NC-SA 2.0 licence Anglicans are more enthusiastically pro-Brexit than affiliates of other major religions. In England, 55% of Catholics voted Leave, 45% Remain. Amongst other non-Christian faiths – though sample sizes are small – the tendency was to favour Remain over Leave.

  • Bread of Life: Bishops' Teaching Series
    Bread of Life: Bishops’ teaching series 3 - Remembering: anamnesis – Bishop Rod Thomas Welcome to the third of our ‘Bread of Life’ series. Today we’re going to explore the way in which Holy Communion helps us to remember Christ’s death. Memories are powerful things, aren't they? They can on the one hand inspire us to live better and on the other they can restart old animosities. They can give pleasure or pain. What you remember plays an important part in your outlook on life. As Shakespeare put it ‘purpose is a slave to memory’. It's no surprise therefore that the Bible urges us time and again to remember certain things - because as we remember we remind ourselves of the character of God, of his actions in history, of the promises he has made, and of our place in his plans – our purpose. In this session of our ‘Bread of Life’ series we're going to look at the command to ‘remember’ that our Lord Jesus gave at the Last Supper. In 1 Corinthians 11, the Apostle Paul narrates the command in this way: “For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it , and said,“ this is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the Cup, after supper, saying “this Cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” for as often as you eat this bread and drink this Cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” These words are repeated in the prayer of consecration at our Holy Communion services.

Specifically focused on the period encompassing the episcopates of Wærferth and Oswald (c. 870 to 992), this survey examines a time of intense administrative activity at Worcester, contemporaneous with significant transformations in the political and cultural life of Anglo-Saxon England more generally.

  • CNI -Press Watch May 11
    Press Watch , May 11 ! CNI PRESS WATCH - Blueprint for Church schism revealed as conservative Christian leaders plot separate Anglican structure A blueprint for schism seen by Christian Today reveals extensive plans by conservative evangelicals to form a rival Anglican structure to the Church of England in the UK, Harry Farley reports in Christian Today. The proposals, born out of concerns about liberal teachings on homosexuality, include suggestions for a new synod, new liturgy, an appointments system for new bishops, new church canons and new statements of belief. www.churchnewsireland.org Page !1 Press Watch , May 11 First muted at Renew, a conference of traditionalist church leaders last autumn, the 15- page discussion document outlines how the new faction could take shape and establish credibility as an alternative Anglican church. 'Widespread credible bishops serving conservative evangelicals here in England today seems an unlikely dream,' the document notes before going on to outline how traditionalists concerned about a liberal drift on issues like sexuality could appoint their own bishops. Entitled Credible Bishops, the document defends the role of bishops to ordain 'biblically faithful' church leaders and says this is not always possible within the CofE. 'But that does not mean we should give up on having bishops altogether. It may mean that credible bishops have to be consecrated by other means, with the support of the wider Anglican Communion.' It goes on to outline plans 'to consider irregular ordination' and 'irregular options for oversight' outside the CofE for conservative churches. www.churchnewsireland.org Page !2 Press Watch , May 11 The document was leaked to Christian Today after one conservative church in Newcastle went ahead and made one of its clergy a bishop.
