Abstract Since the late 20th century information technology has changed the lives of individuals and relationships at local, nation and even global levels. In particular the internet is used by many religious groups for theological and spiritual purposes. Some parts of Christianity have confronted the issue of how to deal with the use of internet. As a result, an internet church has emerged, offering Eucharistic services online across the globe. Even though the numbers of internet churches/Eucharistic groups have sharply increased in the last two decades, the attitude of the established churches does not appear to have taken account of this change yet. To achieve this it is necessary for such initiatives to be guided by certain theological norms or church regulations. This may relate to the definition of church, Eucharistic theology, or how to deal with emerging cultures.

  • GS Misc 1172 an Abuse of Faith
    GS Misc 1172 The Independent Peter Ball Review AN ABUSE OF FAITH 1 FOREWORD “He said it was God’s will1” This report considers the serious sexual wrongdoing of Peter Ball, a bishop of the Church of England (the Church), who abused many boys and men over a period of twenty years or more. That is shocking in itself but is compounded by the failure of the Church to respond appropriately to his misconduct, again over a period of many years. Ball’s priority was to protect and promote himself and he maligned the abused. The Church colluded with that rather than seeking to help those he had harmed, or assuring itself of the safety of others. Much of what we report has already been aired in the public domain but we have been surprised by how unclear the picture was, even to many who were quite close to what happened. In part that is a consequence of misinformation used by Ball. We hope that a clear and detailed account of what happened will help all involved. Most of the events described in this report took place many years ago. Some beliefs, attitudes and moral norms have changed. The standards and expectations of safeguarding practice, both in the Church and more widely, were different then. We do not think that the Church now would conduct itself in the ways we have described. We believe that the Church’s attitude to homosexuality at the time played a part in the failure to act appropriately. Ball’s abusive behaviour was trivialised and its consequences were set aside.

MEMOIRS Our memoirs, which honor and remember with gratitude those clergy, spouses, and surviving spouses of the conference family who have died in this conference year, include deaths through June 6, 2018. The Conference Secretary wishes to thank the families of these faithful servants for supplying photographs and supplemental materials for the memoirs. CLERGY Dallas B. Bailey, Jr. The Rev. Dallas B. Bailey, Jr., a retired deacon in the conference, died January 21, 2018. He was 80 years old. Born February 16, 1937, in Salem, West Virginia, he was a son of Dallas B. and Pearl Ritter Bailey. He was married to Lotta A. (Ann) Bailey for fi fty-fi ve years and they had two sons. A graduate of the former Salem College in Salem, West Virginia, he earned a Master’s degree in Sociology and a Ph.D. in Education and Counseling from Kent State University. He completed post-doctoral studies at West Virginia University, Illinois State University, Methodist Theological School in Ohio, and Perkins School of Theology (SMU) in Dallas, Texas. Most of his career was in higher education administration and teaching at Illinois State University, Salem College, where he served as president, and West Virginia Wesleyan College, where he was Vice President for Student Aff airs and later Dean of the Chapel. In 1988, he was consecrated a Diaconal Minister in the West Virginia Conference. In 1997, he was in the fi rst class of Permanent Deacons ordained in the West Virginia Conference. He battled ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) which limited him physically in his later years, but he was always supportive of and interested in what was happening in the Order of Deacons.

  • An Anglican Heritage in Transition: an Examination of the Role and Function of Traditional English Church Music in Four Anglican Parishes on the Witwatersrand
    AN ANGLICAN HERITAGE IN TRANSITION: AN EXAMINATION OF THE ROLE AND FUNCTION OF TRADITIONAL ENGLISH CHURCH MUSIC IN FOUR ANGLICAN PARISHES ON THE WITWATERSRAND By Malcolm Chalmers Research Report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Heritage Studies) By Coursework and research Report Supervisor: Paul Germond Johannesburg February 2007 DECLARATION I declare that this research report is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Arts (Coursework and Research Report) in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted for any degree or examination in any other university ____________________________________________ Malcolm Chalmers _______________ day of ______________________ 2007 i ABSTRACT This study examines an aspect of Anglican Church heritage (in a state of transition in South Africa) namely, the role and function of traditional English Church Music in a selected number of parishes on the Witwatersrand. Some musicians within the church see this heritage as being under threat, and with the ever-growing support for gospel and traditional African music in a number of former "white" parishes, not to mention the ongoing interest in so-called charismatic or contemporary music, there seems to be a concern that the style of music, as practised for centuries in the liturgy of the Anglican Church, may well be in decay. Thus, the preservation of a heritage such as this, surrounded by so many differing and varied cultural influences perhaps requires a new focus and prominence within the local Anglican Church community.
