More information to follow so watch this space. 2 October 2012 Dear Friends, The Olympics have had a tremendous impact on our nation. The quality that has stood out for me has been commitment. Commitment by volunteers, commitment by spectators and of course the commitment of those taking part. If there were to be just one legacy of the Games to the nation, I hope it will be an overall change in notions of commitment. Over the years there seems to be an element of conditionality creeping into our understanding of commitment. I will stay in this relationship whilst it delivers the happiness I want. I will keep up my fitness regime until I can get into a size 10. I will keep with this job until something better turns up. Or put the other way round, I am not going to maintain this friendship because it’s only ever me that makes any effort. I’m not going to football practice any more because I didn’t get chosen for the team. In my job, I most often meet ‘conditional’ commitment when people tell me why they don’t believe in God any more or why they don’t come to church any more.

  • Rawlinson's Proposed History of Oxfordshire
    Rawlinson's Proposed History of Oxfordshire By B. J. ENRIGHT INthe English Topographer, published in 1720, Richard Rawlinson described the manuscript and printed sources from which a history of Oxfordshire might be compiled and declared regretfully, ' of this County .. we have as yet no perfect Description.' He hastened to add in that mysteriously weH­ informed manner which invariably betokened reference to his own activities: But of this County there has been, for some Years past, a Description under Consideration, and great Materials have been collected, many Plates engraved, an actual Survey taken, and Quaeries publish'd and dispers'd over the County, to shew the Nature of the Design, as well to procure Informations from the Gentry and others, which have, in some measure, answer'd the Design, and encouraged the Undertaker to pursue it with all convenient Speed. In this Work will be included the Antiquities of the Town and City of Oxford, which Mr. Anthony d l-Vood, in Page 28 of his second Volume of Athenae Oxonienses, &c. promised, and has since been faithfully transcribed from his Papers, as well as very much enJarg'd and corrected from antient Original Authorities. I At a time when antiquarian studies were rapidly losing their appeal after the halcyon days of the 17th-century,' this attempt to compile a large-scale history of a county which had received so little attention caUs for investigation. In proposing to publish a history of Oxfordshirc at this time, Rawlinson was being far less unrealistic thall might at first appear. For
