Not only did the Movement’s proponents work for the renovation of parish life and call upon parochial clergy to ‘magnify their office,’ but there was also a remarkable process of church planting into the new urban areas which the established church was in danger of leaving behind.

Mary always points away from herself and towards her Son. Her significance is rightly tied to her son’s immeasurably greater significance and we sense that, like John the Baptist, she would happily declare, ‘He must increase and I must decrease’. So we honour Mary, the Mother of God, with an eye on her horizon. We look beyond her to her Son, to the Light of the World. But this is only part of the story. Saint Augustine of Hippo, who died in the year 430, wrote: The Church observes the birth of John [the Baptist] as a holy day; and none of the other great ones of old is solemnly commemorated in this way. We celebrate The Lady Altar John’s birth, as we celebrate Christ’s.

    This 2008 Letter

    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.

    Abstract “LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY STREAMS: A CHRISTIAN MANDATE FOR PLACEDNESS” JENNIFER M. SCOTT Thesis under the direction of Dr. Andrew Thompson Trees find strength in being rooted. Do humans need similar stability and placedness? This thesis explores the questions: “Is there a mandate for being placed?” and if so, “What is the impact on the local church?” In the transient, unrooted culture of the USA, the concept of place is easily lost. Individuals and whole communities are detached and disconnected. In this thesis, place will be explored through the lenses of Christian scripture, Christian theology, and social and environmental sciences. The final chapter will then explore the impact of placedness for the local church. In the first chapter, I will look at the biblical mandate for placedness, mainly focusing on the Hebrew Scriptures. The second chapter will address a theological mandate, with an emphasis on sacramental theology. The third chapter will look at the mandate for place that informs some secular studies , mainly in the fields of social sciences and environmentalism. The last chapter will then address how the local church can intentionally seek the sense of place, or placedness, that is mandated by these different studies.

    Forward Christmas 2019 FINAL.qxp_Layout 1 30/11/2019 14:11 Page 1 together THE VOICE OF CATHOLIC ANGLICANS CHRISTMAS 2019 Christmas: So what? Father Philip Barnes writes... One of the deflating reactions we sometimes get from the teenagers in our families is “so what?” I daresay most of us will have had the experience of enthusiastically imparting what we think of as exciting news or crucial information, and an eyebrow raises, an iPhone is momentarily lowered and a disinterested voice simply replies “so what?” “So what?” is actually a pretty good theological question, and as you and I move through the season of Advent to the great feast of Christmas, and as we claim and proclaim that the child of Bethlehem, Jesus, is the Son of God, we might well ask “so what?” What difference does that make? It could be said that the birth of Jesus Christ has made not the slightest difference to how the world looks, and that everything appears to be going as it was two thousand years ago. People are still behaving badly towards one another; people still sin; people still fight; nations are still at war with one another; the greedy get greedier; the needy get needier. So what? What difference has Jesus made? That question lies at the heart of the opening chapter of St John’s Gospel which is read in our churches on Christmas morning. It speaks of the birth of Jesus as the “Word becoming flesh”. The Word, the second person of the Trinity, one with the Father and the Holy Spirit has become a human being, in the only way that you can become a human being, through being born of a woman.

For all those years since I returned to a parish-based ministry, I have rejoiced in the privilege and calling of priesthood and of serving people in the everyday life of a parish. Only very occasionally do I stand amongst the faithful clothed as a bishop even though, of course, I share fully in the episcopal order and, I realize, every sacramental action I perform I do as a bishop. I am grateful to my episcopal colleagues who value my ministry (sadly, there are one or two who do not welcome this) and who allow me to share in consultation and decision-making on, say, the Council of Bishops.
