AT SEA. February 14th, 1912. DEAR MR. CooKE, I must get olf a letter to you this mail or you will be p!Jblishing a number of R.D.Q.P. without a letter from me. I meant to have sent you our accounts With this letter. hut I have come away withou~ the books and must. therefore, wait to send them till I get back, and I fear that will be just too late for next week· s mail. It was not long after I sent you my last letter that I went off to. the Durhar. We were a curiously mixeid company., There were representatives of the Local Government, the large trading firms and professions, together -with Burmese officials, Shan chiefs and their followers. We were all packed into a steamer formerly belonging to the Bibby Line, but recently bought by a rich Chinaman in Rangoon to run between Rangoon, Singapore and China. A special train took us from Calcutta to Delhi, and there we divided into two camps : the Burmese and Shails going to one, and the Europeans to another. You have read probably as much as you_ want to about the Ourbar itself. It is only in its religious aspect that I need speak of it. Seven of the Bishops were present, and I daresay you have seen a picture of our procession at the State Service ~:m Sunday, when all the British troops were paraded. This Service was a wonderfully imposing sight, but the men did not join in it with their voices. If they had the effect would have been truly wonderful. As it was. the music was left to the large band and the choir of picked soldiers behind them. The King and Queen jo-ined ni.ost reverently in the Service. The sermon by the Bishop of Madras was excellent, and delivered so that a large part of the huge audience could hear it. The responses were read by two of the military Chaplains together, and the later prayers by the Bishop of Lahore in a voice that again covered a large part of the congregation.

As a former student myself, I am conscious just how much the House has changed through the years to meet the changing demands of ministry and mission in the Church of England, elsewhere in the Anglican Communion and in the developing ecumenical partnerships which the Federation embodies. We have been at the forefront in the deliberations which have led to the introduction of the Common Awards.

  • That This Synod Ask the Ho
    1. In July 2000, General Synod passed the following motion proposed by the Archdeacon of Tonbridge: That this Synod ask the House of Bishops to initiate further theological study on the episcopate, focussing on the issues that need to be addressed in preparation for the debate on women in the episcopate in the Church of England, and to make a progress report on this study to Synod in the next two years. 2. In order to carry out the theological study referred to in Archdeacon Judith Rose’s motion, the House of Bishops established a working party which began its work in April 2001.

    St. John’s Burns Night Supper, Saturday 27th January 2018 Photograph by Michael St. John’s Burns Night Supper, Saturday 27th January 2018 Photograph by Kirsteen 2 From the Rectory It is indeed my great pleasure to meet you through 'the Eagle'! A little over a month has passed since I was licensed and installed as Priest in Charge at St John's and I am encouraged that it's been a good first month! I was ordained in the Church of South India and have been involved in the ministry of the church in various ca- pacities in India and in the UK over the past twenty years. My wife, Grace, is also an ordained minister and we are blessed with three children: Felina, Erina and Darshan, who are settling well in their schools and nursery. My doctoral studies at the University of Nottingham brought us to the UK in 2011 and seven years on, I am delighted to have received the call to serve as Priest at St John's Forres. It's a privilege and joy to join in the long-standing and continuing Christian witness and heritage of this place. We are grateful for the warmth, welcome and goodwill extended to us. Evidently, a lot of work has gone into preparations, particularly the redec- oration of the Rectory and the work in the gardens. With the unpacking now completed, we are delighted to have this beautiful house as our home. We are enjoying getting acquainted with the beautiful surround- ings and friendly people of Forres. We look forward to getting to know you all and participate in the vibrant community spirit obvious both in the church and in the town.

  • English Spirituality: a Review Article by Jerry R. Flora Gordon Mursell
    Ashland Theological Journal 2006 English Spirituality: A Review Article By Jerry R. Flora Gordon Mursell, English Spirituality. 200l. 2 vols. Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press. 548, 580 pp. $39.95 ea. Imposing. Impressive. Intimidating. Such feelings must be normal when one first approaches Gordon Mursell' s history of Christian spirituality in England. In bulk the two blue volumes resemble the black tomes of Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics. With 1128 pages and more than 6000 fine-print notes, this is a work to be reckoned with. But it is also interesting and inviting. Mursell's clear style and pastoral approach make it a journey worth taking as he surveys almost two millennia of faith. The massive documentation reveals that the author has read widely, deeply, and carefully. This is no quick overview, but a refined, nuanced discussion abounding in detail. From Regent College in Vancouver, veteran teacher and author James Houston writes, "This is the most comprehensive, scholarly, and up-to-date survey ... an essential guide and standard history of the subject" (dust jacket). Not yet sixty years of age, the Very Reverend Gordon Mursell is Area Bishop of Stafford in the Diocese of Lichfield. Born in Surrey, he initially studied at the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music in Rome. While there he lived with a family whose genuine faith caused him to begin taking Christianity seriously. Returning to England, he joined the Anglican Church, attended Oxford University's Brasenose College, and trained for ordination. Since then he has been a parish priest, an instructor in pastoral studies and spirituality, and provost and dean of Birmingham Cathedral.

Dear Readers I often find I am thanking various people in the local community for helping to produce the ABC magazine, which is a real community venture but still centred around the churches and church activities—it is after all only through the grace of God that any of us are here and are so privileged to live in such a beautiful, safe and vital neighbourhood. My thanks in this issue go to Mrs Beryl Roe and the team of people, those unsung heroes, who distribute the magazine. Mrs Roe, through her inestimable powers of persuasion has recruited another four distributors, so the team now numbers 30 people, who give up their own time to ensure you have your copy of ABC on time. On behalf of the ABC Committee, I thank you one and all.
