Some details about Cumberland Lodge appear at the end of this booklet. The Conference is promoting a public discussion of the nature of establishment and the challenges it may face in the years ahead, both from a constitutional vantage point and in parochial ministry for the national church. A stellar collection of experts has been brought together for a unique conference which will seek to re-imagine the national church and public religion in the increasingly secular world in the current second Elizabethan age and hereafter. Robert Blackburn will deliver a keynote lecture on constitutional issues of monarchy, parliament and the Church of England. Norman Doe and Colin Podmore will assess the centenaries of, respectively, the Welsh Church Act 1914 and the Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act 1919 (known as the ‘Enabling Act’), and the experience of English and Welsh Anglicanism over this period.

The Vision and the Scheme 5 3. Key steps towards the final scheme 7 4. Benefits to mission 10 5. Key financial assumptions 13 6. Some other issues from the consultation 15 Annex A – Next steps 17 Annex B – List of those making submissions 21 Annex C – The diocesan boundary: transferring parishes to neighbouring dioceses 26 Annex D – Draft Resolution establishing Vacancy in See Committee 30 Annex E - Draft Instrument of Delegation during Vacancy in See 32 Annex F – Draft Instrument of Delegation 37 Annex G – Draft Petition for Re-naming of Suffragan See 39 Foreword This third report from the Dioceses Commission on its proposals for the Yorkshire dioceses follows those of December 2010 and October 2011. It needs to be read with those documents in mind, but has been designed to be self- standing (with links to other material in footnotes). Its publication marks a key phase in the process. It follows a statutory six month consultation period on the Draft Dioceses of Bradford, Ripon and Leeds and Wakefield Reorganisation Scheme, which resulted in over 100 representations. Published with this Report is the final version of this Draft Scheme on which the Diocesan Synods of the dioceses affected will need to vote next March. The Commission is very conscious that there has, quite properly, been a great deal of debate about its proposals over the last two years.

  • The Diocese of Blackburn Archdeacon of Lancaster Recruitment Pack
    The Diocese of Blackburn Archdeacon of Lancaster Recruitment Pack For an informal conversation about this post, please contact the Archdeacon of Blackburn, The Ven Mark Ireland at [email protected] 1 ARCHDEACON OF LANCASTER IN THE DIOCESE OF BLACKBURN THE DIOCESE OF BLACKBURN The Diocese of Blackburn is approaching its 100th anniversary, having been founded on the 12th December 1926. It serves almost the whole of the county of Lancashire, covering an area of 878 square miles, with a population of 1.3 million. It is divided into 14 Deaneries and two Archdeaconries (Blackburn and Lancaster). The Diocese covers an area of extraordinary variety, from the stunning countryside of the Trough of Bowland to the former mill towns of East Lancashire; from the University cities of Preston and Lancaster, to the seaside towns of Blackpool and Morecambe; from elegant villages, to Presence and Engagement Parishes. We have Parishes of all traditions and are strongly committed to the principle of mutual flourishing. The Bishop of Blackburn seeks to appoint a priest of deep faith and gospel ambition to succeed the Venerable Michael Everitt as Archdeacon of Lancaster, to join the Bishop’s Leadership Team. In making the appointment, the Bishop will be mindful of the needs of the Archdeaconry & Diocese but will also take into account the balance of the senior staff team. The Lancaster Archdeaconry comprises the seven Deaneries of Tunstall, Lancaster & Morecambe, Garstang, Poulton, Blackpool, Kirkham and Preston, a total of 77 benefices, 124 licensed worship centres and 123 licensed clergy (of whom there are 69.7 full-time stipendiary equivalent incumbents and 15 are curates (including 1 Ordained Pioneer Minister).

    English book owners in the seventeenth century: a work in progress listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: • What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? • How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? • How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources.
