  • The CWG Will Review Aspects of Cathedral Management And
    The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have set up a Cathedrals Working Group, CWG, in response to a request made by the Bishop of Peterborough in his January 2017 Visitation Charge on Peterborough Cathedral for a revision to be carried out of the adequacy of the current Cathedrals Measure. The CWG will review aspects of cathedral management and governance and produce recommendations for the Archbishops on the implications of these responsibilities with regards to the current Cathedrals Measure. It will be chaired by the Bishop of Stepney, Adrian Newman, the former Dean of Rochester Cathedral, and the Dean of York, Vivienne Faull, will be the vice chair. The Working Group will look at a number of different areas of Cathedral governance, including training and development for cathedral deans and chapters, financial management issues, the procedure for Visitations, safeguarding matters, buildings and heritage and the role of Cathedrals in contributing to evangelism within their dioceses. The Bishop of Stepney and the Dean of York said: "Cathedrals contribute uniquely to the ecology of the Church of England, and we are a healthier, stronger church when they flourish. We are pleased to have this opportunity to review the structures that support their ministry, in order to enhance their role in church and society Cathedrals are one of the success stories of the Church of England, with rising numbers of worshippers. They are a vital part of our heritage and make an incalculable contribution to the life of the communities that they serve. This is an exciting opportunity for the Working Group to look at the different aspects of how Cathedrals work, and to ensure that the legislation and procedures they use are fit for purpose for their mission in the 21st century." The Group will report back initially to the Archbishops' Council, Church Commissioners and House of Bishops in December 2017.

  • Archbishop Tait
    590 Archbishop Tait. Re attempted, indeed, to take part in the discussion of the Socialist Question, but his name had become a by-word for weakness, and no one listened to him. Re had but to wait ingloriously till death took him away two months ago. He might have been an Italian Dollinger had he not been trained. in the methods of the Jesuits. F. .M:EYRICE:. ART. V.-ARCRBISROP TAIT.-I: EW men have ever been more misrepresented and less F understood than Archbishop Tait. It is a misfortune of men who, in prominent positions, are the advocates of a moderate policy, whatever their own convictions may be, to incur the odium and provoke the dislike of all who rejoice in "the falsehood of extremes." The two volumes 1 which the Bishop of Rochester-whose restoration to health, sufficient to discharge the_ duties of the episcopate, is most earnestly desired-and Canon Benham, have given to the world, is more than " the plain record of a busy and eventful life." It is a real vindication of the career of a great and good man, of whom we may emphatically say, to use his own words, taken from a most interesting memo­ randum, after seven years of episcopal life, "that his main object has been to endeavour so to present the Church of England, as that, fully maintaining the truth of Christ, it shall become more and more rooted in the affections of the people.'1 It has been said, with a good deal of partisan venom, that Archbishop Tait was a great man, but a bad Churchman.
