  • Here Is Characteristically Anglican Liberty Which Encourages Members „To Develop Their Personal Gifts and Thus to Enrich the Offering Laid at the Feet of Christ‟
    THE ORATORY OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD The First Seventy Five Years by GEORGE TIBBATTS,* OGS {* spelling corrected} - 2 - {iv} Copyright © Almoner, Oratory of the Good Shepherd 1988 Published by The Almoner, OGS, 56 Buckland Crescent. Windsor, Berks. Printed by Dramrite Printers Ltd, Southwark, London SE1 ISBN No. 1 871161 00 2 In this digital copy the start of each page of the book and other editorial notes are shown by e.g. {10}. - 3 - {v} FOREWORD This history appears as the Oratory celebrates the seventy fifth anniversary of its foundation in Cambridge in 1913. Canon Tibbatts, who has served both as Secretary-General and Superior, is uniquely qualified to tell the story. His association with the Oratory began in his undergraduate days at Kings in the l920ies. He knew personally the founding fathers and enjoyed their friendship. In the years preceding the first world war three young clerical dons (John How, Eric Milner-White and Edward Wynn) sought to establish a society for celibate priests, bound by a common rule of life, marked by Catholic discipline of prayer and devotion, and characterised by the importance attached to regular and systematic study in the life of a priest Their inspiration was drawn from the Catholic revival of the previous century, and they were concerned to make a distinctive witness in the religious life of the University. The ethos of the Oratory was, and has continued to be essentially Anglican in its Catholic form. The devotion to Our Lord as the Good Shepherd, the adoption of Nicholas Ferrar of Little Gidding as patron, testify to the pastoral ideal and English temper of the Oratory.

    Ancestors and Descendants of Cap Benjamin Barnes and Charles Curtiss of Granville, Mass. By Abel Tuttle Barnes Great-grandson of Capt. Benjamin Member New England Historic Genealogical Society SHARON, MASS. ½ ~ :JGift'.s :tlllirrnr There are Joyal hearts, there are spirits brave, There are souls that are pure and true; Then give to the world the best you have And the best will come back to you. Give love and love to your life will flow, A strength in your utmost need; Have faith and a score of hearts will show Their faith in your word and deed. Give truth and your gift will be paid in kind, And honor will honor meet. And a smile that is sweet will surely find A smile that is just as sweet. For life is a mirror of king and slave, 'Tis just what we are and do; Then give to the world the best you have And the best will come back to you. -Author unknown. EXPLANATIONS IN this work the family heads are arranged somewhat dif­ ferently from that in common use; as the title-page implies, this is a record of the descendants of Capt. Benjamin Barnes. In the family headings the descendant, whether male or female, is placed first; hence the wife, in cases where she is the descendant, will have her name placed before that of her husband. The direct descent back to Capt. Benjamin is given in small type directly under each family heading. The family heads will be in larger, black-face type, and the direct ancestors' birth number and name in record of ancestors the same.

  • Nashville, Tenn.) Records, 1958-1984
    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives Ellis Funeral Home (Nashville, Tenn.) Records, 1958-1984 COLLECTION SUMMARY Creator: Ellis Funeral Home (Nashville, Tenn.) Inclusive Dates: 1958-1984 Scope & Content: This collection contains 2,857 records of services performed by the Ellis Funeral Home located on Nolensville Road in Nashville. Each record identifies the name of the deceased; dates of birth and death; place of burial; places of birth, residence, and death; details about the spouse and parents; information on war service; occupation; and specifics about the funeral and burial. All funeral home services are listed and priced on the lower half on the front side of the record, while general information, survivors, and the funeral pall bearers are listed on the back. It is likely that the records were originally organized chronologically, because some bear dated index cards. Others include related items such as insurance or medical information. There are no records for surnames beginning with “E.” The records are particularly useful because of the wide range of personal and genealogical information made available. While only a small number of records are complete, nearly all contain details unavailable on official state-issued death certificates. Physical Description/Extent: 1 cubic foot (2857 items) Accession/Record Group Number: 2008-102, Mf. 2039 Language: English Permanent Location: XI-M-1 Repository: Tennessee State Library and Archives, 403 Seventh Avenue North, Nashville, Tennessee, 37243-0312 Administrative/Biographical History Clarence Ellis founded the Ellis Funeral Home in 1949.

  • Pastors and Pilgrims: Augustinian Reform in The
    PASTORS AND PILGRIMS: AUGUSTINIAN REFORM IN THE LATE MEDIEVAL ENGLISH CHURCH by JONATHAN FOGGIN (Under the Direction of Cynthia Turner Camp ) ABSTRACT This study examines currents of reform in the late medieval English church. One of its primary arguments is that “reform” is a concept fundamental to the Christian faith, and the notion of a single, monolithic “Reformation” obscures and distorts other movements of renewal in the history of the church. A related assertion is that “the Reformation” exhibits characteristics more closely connected to revolution than reform. In the early-fifteenth century, the most successful attempts at reform arose out of the renewed appreciation of Augustine that took place in the previous century. While the culturally Protestant English academy has traditionally understood Augustinianism to be synonymous with the doctrine of predestination, in the later Middle Ages there were numerous other strands of Augustinian thought. Of equal, if not more importance, than the predestinarian strain of Augustinianism, was a theological approach that emphasized the cura animarum and the pilgrimage of life. This “pastoral Augustinianism” eschews the revolutionary tendencies that animate predestinarian modes of thought, such as Wycliffism and much of early modern Protestantism, and instead sees religious renewal as something patient of (in the Christian sense of the word) terrestrial imperfection. It is this emphasis on measured, incremental advancement through the fallen world that is characteristic of true reform. These reformist tendencies can be seen in the writings of William Langland and the faith and practice of the Austin Canons, one of whom, an Oxford theologian named Philip Repingdon, came to exercise great influence within the English church.
