  • Why Do We Still Recite the Nicene Creed at the Eucharist?
    ATR/87:2 Why Do We Still Recite the Nicene Creed at the Eucharist? Mark D. Chapman* The Anglican Communion appears to be seeking to rule some in and some out on the grounds of “orthodoxy.” In that con- text, a discussion of the creed in worship may help to illustrate the relationships between doctrine, performance, and practice. This article suggests that F. D. Maurice’s understanding of the use of the creed offers a way forward for Anglicans: the “performance” of the creed as a focus for the name of God becomes far more im- portant than assent to propositions. This understanding might help Anglicans in living with diversity while acknowledging an underlying baptismal unity. Reading the creed as a corporate hymn of praise to triune Love might encourage God-fearing people to live in humble adoration of the One who loves them— without growing anxious about precisely what, or even whether, the other people who are singing God’s praise “believe.” It is hard to know what people make of creeds today. My hunch is that most people, and even most Christians, however pious, do not spend much time reading creeds of any sort, let alone the Nicene Creed. Popular apologetic programs like the Alpha Course are, per- haps rather surprisingly, distant from the creeds, and instead focus on a few selected articles and a few things (like particular models of the atonement and charismatic experience) which are not in the creeds at all. In fact, the most likely place to encounter creeds is not in any teaching situation at all, but instead at a service in a church which uses a formal liturgy.

  • Gloucestershire Exhibition at Emmanuel Church, Cheltenham by Brian Torode (Copyright Rests with Richard Barton)
    Gloucestershire Exhibition at Emmanuel Church, Cheltenham by Brian Torode (copyright rests with Richard Barton) An exhibition of ecclesiastical and related history to mark the millennium of the County of Gloucester in 2007 These texts for the displays were produced by Brian Torode and together they offer a picture of the story of Christianity in the county during the last thousand years. In many ways these simple and succinct texts offer an overview of many of Brian’s historical interests – Cheltenham history, the Oxford Movement, holy wells, pilgrimage, religious communities, church architecture and liturgy. The BEGINNING OF THE SECOND MILLENNIUM By the beginning of the 800s there were monasteries – mission settlements – at Beckford, Berkeley, Cheltenham, Bishops Cleeve, Deerhurst, Twyning, Westbury, Winchcombe, Withington and Yate. 1 Some of these communities owned large amounts of land. Little churches were built near to the centre of population and the clergy from the monasteries served them. It was at about this time that the Diocese of Worcester was formed, and included that part of present day Gloucestershire east of the Rivers Severn and Leadon. West of those rivers was part of the Diocese of Hereford. From 1062-1095 the saintly Bishop Wulfstan was Bishop of Worcester and therefore Bishop too of most of Gloucestershire. During the 1150s and beyond, many churches and chapels were built on monastic lands to serve the hamlets and villages. The gentry too built their own chapels on their lands and expected their servants and tenants to attend it. In return for serving these churches and chapels the monasteries were granted tithes, left property in the wills of the gentry, or given land and property in gratitude for services rendered or as a way of seeking a favour from the Church.

  • Bishop George Bell Compendium
    THE BISHOP BELL CONTROVERSY A COMPENDIUM OF SELECTED SOURCES COVERING THE PERIOD 22 OCTOBER 2015 - 21 JUNE 2016 Prepared for general use by Andrew Chandler June 2016 ON 22 OCTOBER 2015 the Media Centre of the Church of England released a statement relating to allegations of sexual abuse made against the former Bishop of Chichester, George Bell (1883- 1958). This was immediately given extensive treatment by three newspapers: the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph and the Times. This collection provides a picture of how the controversy emerged and developed in the public sphere in the following months. It shows how the debate has become a national one and how, in the eyes of many of the participants, it has come to raise fundamental questions about the practices of the Church of England in an important area of public justice today. The selected sources are presented in full. 2 CONTENTS 1 Press Release issued by the Church of 12 Statement issued by the Bishop of England Media Centre, 22 October 2015 Chichester 3 February 2016 PAGE 27 PAGE 4 13 Statement issued to all staff and students 2 ‘Revered Bishop Bell was a Paedophile – at the University of Chichester, 3 February Church of England’, article in the Daily 2016 PAGE 28 Telegraph, 22 October 2015 PAGE 5 14 Statement issued by the Bishop of 3 ‘The Rule of the Lynch Mob’, article in Durham after the House of Lords debate the Church of England Newspaper, 28 PAGE 28 October 2015 PAGE 7 15 ‘Child abuse claims: why due process 4 ‘The Church of England’s shameful and a fair hearing matter’, article

  • 'Becoming a Curate Raises All Sorts of Questions About What to Expect
    ‘Becoming a curate raises all sorts of questions about what to expect, how to face the challenges and what to do if it goes wrong. This gem of a collection provides reassurance and much food for thought about how to negotiate being a curate in the Church today. It is a must-read for all future curates, and for anyone else (their families, training incumbents, church wardens, etc.) who will accompany them on their journey.’ Dr Paula R. Gooder, Theologian in Residence, Bible Society ‘This book is a rich resource of personal stories and insights around the experience of serving as a curate. They will help you understand the different parts of the journey and what this ministry is like today.’ The Rt Revd Steven Croft, Bishop of Sheffield ‘As someone who has been involved in the training of potential curates for many years I’ve often felt the lack of a resource that will help people think through exactly what this important role involves and prepare for the reality of being a curate. I’m delighted that Jonathon and Sonia have produced this excellent book which can fill that gap in an ideal way.’ The Revd Dr Graham Tomlin, Dean, St Mellitus College ‘This is an extraordinarily valuable collection of experiences and reflections around curacy. The diverse accounts will elicit equally diverse reactions from readers, and I would particularly recommend the book to those exploring calling and the practice of ministry in groups or one to one discussions.’ The Very Revd John Witcombe, Dean of Coventry Cathedral and author of The Curate’s Guide (Church House Publishing, 2009) ‘The main attraction of this collection of reflections is that they are broad and down to earth – there is something for everyone.

This thesis is an account of how certain resources and the values they expressed came to be available and visible in society, and of how these values were taken up, transformed and used in particular ways. It will demonstrate how four individuals, in different social contexts, acquired and transformed these values, as they attempted to initiate varying forms of the same type of organisation.

  • The Role of Music and Musicians in Current English Parish Church Worship: the Attitudes of Clergy and Organists
    The Role of Music and Musicians in Current English Parish Church Worship: the Attitudes of Clergy and Organists Robin Lodowick Douglas Rees B.Sc., M.Phil. (Lond.), C.Phys., M.Inst.P., M.B.C.S., A.Cert.C.M. Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Sheffield December 1990 2 THE ROLE OF MUSIC AND MUSICIANS IN CURRENT ENGLISH PARISH CHURCH WORSHIP: THE ATTITUDES OF CLERGY AND ORGANISTS R.L.D. REES ABSTRACT One of the many issues currently confronting the Church of England is the role of music in worship. It is not a new debate, but has been brought into sharper focus in recent years in the wake of liturgical change. After examining the fundamental issues of the debate, the author considers them in the context of the present day. Other current matters of concern will also be discussed. The effects of liturgical change are then considered. The discussion is then widened to include: - a review of current hymnals and psalters; - a survey of the courses and qualifications in church music available in Great Britain; - three case studies demonstrating the problems that can arise when clergy and church musicians are in conflict; - a review of surveys in church music undertaken since 1950. The main work comprises a detailed survey by questionnaire to the priest-in-charge and organist at almost half the churches in a large diocese (that of Oxford). This yields an overall picture of: - respondents' personal backgrounds and general attitudes; - respondents' perceptions, both objective and subjective, of the situation at their church, and of each other.
