In comparison to other areas of study, the role of the Church of England during this time period is inadequately examined.

  • The Religious Mind of Mrs Thatcher
    The Religious Mind of Mrs Thatcher Antonio E. Weiss June 2011 The religious mind of Mrs Thatcher 2 ------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT Addressing a significant historical and biographical gap in accounts of the life of Margaret Thatcher, this paper focuses on the formation of Mrs Thatcher’s religious beliefs, their application during her premiership, and the reception of these beliefs. Using the previously unseen sermon notes of her father, Alfred Roberts, as well as the text of three religious sermons Thatcher delivered during her political career and numerous interviews she gave speaking on her faith, this paper suggests that the popular view of Roberts’ religious beliefs have been wide of the mark, and that Thatcher was a deeply religious politician who took many of her moral and religious beliefs from her upbringing. In the conclusion, further areas for research linking Thatcher’s faith and its political implications are suggested. Throughout this paper, hyperlinks are made to the Thatcher Foundation website (www.margaretthatcher.org) where the sermons, speeches, and interviews that Margaret Thatcher gave on her religious beliefs can be found. The religious mind of Mrs Thatcher 3 ------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION ‘The fundamental reason of being put on earth is so to improve your character that you are fit for the next world.’1 Margaret Thatcher on Today BBC Radio 4 6 June 1987 Every British Prime Minister since the sixties has claimed belief in God. This paper will focus on just one – Margaret Thatcher. In essence, five substantive points are argued here which should markedly alter perceptions of Thatcher in both a biographical and a political sense.

  • The Act of Synod and Theological Seriousness:INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE
    watch papers The Act of Synod and Theological Seriousness1 by Dr Judith Maltby Introduction to the Revd Dr Judith Maltby’s essay in Act of Synod – Act of Folly? edited by Monica Furlong, SCM Canterbury Press 1998. One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, but Two Integrities? On 11th November 1992, after many years of debate and discussion at all levels in the Church, the General Synod voted to make it law- ful for women to be ordained as priests. Almost exactly one year later, with only two debates a day apart, the General Synod passed the Episcopal Ministry Act of Synod, creating provision for three separate ‘flying bishops’ to minister to those opposed to women’s ordained ministries. Five years after the Act of Synod was passed, the late Monica Furlong edited a collection of essays entitled Act of Synod – Act of Folly? Canon Dr Judith Maltby, Fellow of Christ Church College, Oxford, has given WATCH her permission to use her contribution to Monica’s book. We are grateful to Judith for her essay, which traces the theological and ecclesiological flaws inherent in the Act and the dam- aging precedent it has set, not only for the Church of England but for the entire Anglican Communion. 16 years on, the Act is still in place, although only 2% of parishes in the Church of England have signed Resolution C, the resolution calling for the extended Episcopal oversight created by the Act. As the Church prepares to open the Episcopate to women, WATCH continues to work for the rescinding of the Act of Synod and for the simplest and most straightforward legislation for women bishops.

  • Delegated Oversight in London
    https://livingchurch.org/2018/07/12/a-church-for-the-church-and-the-new-london-plan/ Delegated Oversight in London July 12, 2018 By Colin Podmore On the last day of June — a glorious summer Saturday — the Rt. Rev. Jonathan Baker, Bishop of Fulham (a suffragan in the Diocese of London), ordained two men in their early 30s to the diaconate at the church of Our Most Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, one to serve there and the other in a parish in outer West London. In many ways it was an ordination like so many others: a packed church; 40 robed clergy; rousing hymns; the now familiar 2005 Common Worship ordination rite; Byrd’s Five Part Mass and anthems by Palestrina and Vaughan Williams; songs by the choir of the Parochial School (one quarter of England’s state-funded primary schools, educating children ages 5 to 11, are Church of England schools); prosecco afterwards in the hall and courtyard — followed for many by a late lunch. There were moving moments, as when the ordinands prostrated themselves for the Litany of the Saints, and moments of suspense: would the very small boy in cassock and cotta, struggling to hold the bishop’s enormous gold mitre, fully half as tall as himself, manage not to drop it? But however much it was like many other ordinations, this service was also novel and significant. For a quarter of a century, the last two bishops of London had ordained all of the diocese’s deacons in St Paul’s Cathedral but none of its priests: that arrangement could not survive the appointment of a woman as bishop.

VIII.-THE HOUSES OF LAYMEN AND LAY REPRESENTATION: A NOTE. HE proposal to create Statutory Houses of Laymen to help T in administering the affairs of an autonomous Church requires more thought than it thus far seems likely to receive. At present there is some danger of large plans being made before a majority of intelligent Church-people are at all aware of what is being done in their name and in their assumed interests. It is proposed to give new and very serious powers to Convocation and the Houses of Laymen, but at present how many people know anything accurately about either? I fear that many Church reformers fail to understand the ignorance which prevails ; but in order to test that ignorance I have made an experiment which may not be without interest and value. I addressed the following questions to some Church laymen of my acquaintance : 1. What is the House of Laymen? 2. What are its powers ? 3. How is it elected ? 4. Does it represent the laity ? 5. Ought it to have more power? I chose my men carefully, with the view of getting the opinion of those who are not merely Church-goem, but men deeply interested in the welfare of the Church.

    IP/07/670 Bruksela, dnia 15 maja 2007 r. Spotkanie przewodniczących Parlamentu Europejskiego, Rady Europejskiej i Komisji Europejskiej z dostojnikami religijnymi na temat godności ludzkiej. Z inicjatywy przewodniczącego Komisji Europejskiej, José Manuela Barroso, dnia 15 maja 2007 r. w budynku Berlaymont odbyło się potkanie z dostojnikami trzech religii monoteistycznych. Zaproszenie do udziału w spotkaniu, w którym uczestniczyło 20 osobistości reprezentujących wspólnotę chrześcijańską, żydowską i muzułmańską w Europie, wystosował przewodniczący Barosso wspólnie z kanclerz Niemiec i obecną przewodniczącą Rady Europejskiej Angelą Merkel oraz przewodniczącym Parlamentu Europejskiego Hansem-Gertem Pötteringiem. Podobne spotkania, również z inicjatywy przewodniczącego Barroso, organizowano już w latach ubiegłych, należy jednak podkreślić, że po raz pierwszy spotkanie takie odbyło się pod egidą trzech instytucji: Komisji, Parlamentu Europejskiego oraz urzędującej Prezydencji Rady. Tematem dyskusji w tym roku była „Europa oparta na godności człowieka”. Przewodniczący Komisji José Manuel Barroso powiedział: „Ani bliskość geograficzna, ani wspólna historia nie wystarczą, by na trwałe scementować unię państw i ludów. To wartości uniwersalne, będące częścią naszego wspólnego dziedzictwa, które odgrywają decydującą rolę w procesie integracji państw członkowskich Unii Europejskiej oraz ich obywateli”. Kanclerz Niemiec Angela Merkel oświadczyła: „To właśnie my, Europejczycy, mamy obowiązek propagowania tolerancji i pomagania innym w jej okazywaniu.
