Introduction to Evelyn Underhill, “Church Congress Syllabus No. 3: the Christian Doctrine of Sin and Salvation, Part III: Worship”
ATR/100.3 Introduction to Evelyn Underhill, “Church Congress Syllabus No. 3: The Christian Doctrine of Sin and Salvation, Part III: Worship” Kathleen Henderson Staudt* This short piece by Evelyn Underhill (1875–1941) appeared in a publication from the US Church Congress movement in the 1930s. It presents a remarkably concise summary of her major thought from this period.1 By this time, she was a well-known voice among Angli- cans. Indeed, Archbishop Michael Ramsey wrote that “in the twenties and thirties there were few, if indeed, any, in the Church of England who did more to help people to grasp the priority of prayer in the Christian life and the place of the contemplative element within it.”2 Underhill’s major work, Mysticism, continuously in print since its first publication in 1911, reflects at once Underhill’s broad scholarship on the mystics of the church, her engagement with such contemporaries as William James and Henri Bergson, and, perhaps most important, her curiosity and insight into the ways that the mystics’ experiences might inform the spiritual lives of ordinary people.3 The title of a later book, Practical Mysticism: A Little Book for Normal People (1914) summarizes what became most distinctive in Underhill’s voice: her ability to fuse the mystical tradition with the homely and the * Kathleen Henderson Staudt works as a teacher, poet, and spiritual director at Virginia Theological Seminary and Wesley Theological Seminary. Her poetry, essays, and reviews have appeared in Weavings, Christianity and Literature, Sewanee Theo- logical Review, Ruminate, and Spiritus. She is an officer of the Evelyn Underhill As- sociation, and facilitates the annual day of quiet held in honor of Underhill in Wash- ington, DC each June. -
Irish Narratives: Liverpool in the 1930S
Irish narratives: Liverpool in the 1930s John Davies By the 1930s there had been a substantial Irish community in Liverpool for over a hundred years. Irish immigration into Liverpool grew steadily from the 1 790s and expanded rapidly with the onset of famine in Ireland in the 1840s. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, years of economic depression, there was a renewed wave of Irish migration to Britain in general, and to Liverpool in particular, as migration into the United States was choked off. Relations between the Irish community, largely Catholic and poor and unskilled, and the majority community had been notoriously difficult in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when the history of the city was scarred by incidents of sectarian violence.1 The increase in migration in the 1930s was accompanied by growing tension between the majority and the Irish community. This article seeks to explore how the majority community in Liverpool viewed the Irish, how these views were articulated and what ‘stories’ were commonly told about the Irish. In recent years sociologists and cultural historians, referring to such ‘stories’ as ‘discourses’ and ‘narratives’, have seen them as ‘providing models of social experi ence’ as well as attempts to shape and control opinions.2 1 F.

Welsh Disestablishment: 'A Blessing in Disguise'
Welsh disestablishment: ‘A blessing in disguise’. David W. Jones The history of the protracted campaign to achieve Welsh disestablishment was to be characterised by a litany of broken pledges and frustrated attempts. It was also an exemplar of the ‘democratic deficit’ which has haunted Welsh politics. As Sir Henry Lewis1 declared in 1914: ‘The demand for disestablishment is a symptom of the times. It is the democracy that asks for it, not the Nonconformists. The demand is national, not denominational’.2 The Welsh Church Act in 1914 represented the outcome of the final, desperate scramble to cross the legislative line, oozing political compromise and equivocation in its wake. Even then, it would not have taken place without the fortuitous occurrence of constitutional change created by the Parliament Act 1911. This removed the obstacle of veto by the House of Lords, but still allowed for statutory delay. Lord Rosebery, the prime minister, had warned a Liberal meeting in Cardiff in 1895 that the Welsh demand for disestablishment faced a harsh democratic reality, in that: ‘it is hard for the representatives of the other 37 millions of population which are comprised in the United Kingdom to give first and the foremost place to a measure which affects only a million and a half’.3 But in case his audience were insufficiently disheartened by his homily, he added that there was: ‘another and more permanent barrier which opposes itself to your wishes in respect to Welsh Disestablishment’, being the intransigence of the House of Lords.4 The legislative delay which the Lords could invoke meant that the Welsh Church Bill was introduced to parliament on 23 April 1912, but it was not to be enacted until 18 September 1914. -

Th e Catholic Church in Liverpool also responded to urban redevelopment with ambition and innovation. As architectural expert Charles Reilly announced to readers of the New York Times in 1930, ‘ Liverpool is starting to build a second and even greater cathedral. Her new project, indeed, calls for the greatest cathedral in the world next to St Peter ’ s at Rome. ’1 Designed by Edwin Lutyens, ‘ arguably the greatest British architect of the twentieth century, ’ the planned Catholic cathedral, named the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ, was intended to be second largest in the world and expected to cost £ 3 million.2 Th e impact of the cathedral on the city and beyond was highly anticipated: ‘ I see the cathedral then, like a rainbow across the skies radiating the true and the good ’ , wrote one prominent member of Liverpool Archdiocese.3 For the Archdiocese and, in particular for the cathedral ’ s pioneer, Archbishop of Liverpool Richard Downey (1881 – 1953), it represented an opportunity to transform the way in which Catholicism was seen both in Britain and beyond. -
Bishop J C Ryle
Bishop J C Ryle Eric Russell Liverpool became a diocese in 1880. For over 300 years south-west Lancashire had been part of the diocese of Chester, but with the rapid growth in population due to the industrial revolution, the building of the railways and the development of the vast docks system on the banks of the Mersey, voices were raised advocating a further division of the ancient diocese of Chester and the creation of a new diocese centred on Liverpool. Earlier in the century the diocese of Ripon had been reconstituted and Chester lost its Yorkshire territory. Another sub-division was made in 1847 when the diocese of Manchester was created to meet the religious needs of south Lancashire. Chester was again reduced in size when the counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland were transferred in 1856 to Carlisle. The diocese of Chester over the years had been considerably reduced in area, but due to the movement of workers to south-west Lancashire to meet the demands of industry, the population was constantly increasing and making it more and more difficult for the Church to fulfil her ministry. Victorian Liverpool Liverpool in the closing decades of the nineteenth century was fast becoming the hub of trade and commerce in the north-west of England. Manufacturers in the great industrial centres of Lancashire and Yorkshire exported their goods through the port. Iron and steel, machinery, textiles, manufactured goods and pottery were among the numerous items exported, and grain, raw cotton, sugar-cane, tobacco, timber and meat were some of the imported goods unloaded at the docks. -

Prime Ministers Statement
Prime Ministers statement 10/9/12 from Sian Freestone-Walker (ACPO media) to Natalie Davison (ACPO media) Not sure if you’re aware… I know you know about the report… but looks like the PM is responding on Wed too….. The Prime Minister will make a statement on the Hillsborough tragedy to coincide with the publication of the report by the Independent Panel on Hillsborough. From Sian to Derek Smith at the Cabinet Office 12/9/12 12:48 Can you get a copy of the PMs statement re: Hillsborough pls? x From Derek Smith Cabinet Office12:54 PM: DRAFT COMMONS STATEMENT ON HILLSBOROUGH CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY INTRODUCTION Today the Bishop of Liverpool, the Rt Reverend James Jones, is publishing the report of the Hillsborough Independent Panel. The disaster at the Hillsborough football stadium on 15th April 1989 was one of the greatest peacetime tragedies of the last century. 96 people died as a result of a crush in the Leppings Lane Terrace at the FA Cup Semi-Final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. There was a public Inquiry at the time by Lord Justice Taylor which found – and I quote – that the main cause of the disaster was “a failure of police control.” But the Inquiry didn’t have access to all the documents that have since become available… …it didn’t properly examine the response of the emergency services … …it was followed by a deeply controversial inquest… …and by a media version of events that sought to blame the fans. As a result, the families have not heard the truth and they have not found justice. -

The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day
The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day Jessica Moody PhD University of York Department of History April 2014 Abstract This thesis maps the public, collective memory of slavery in Liverpool from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day. Using a discourse-analytic approach, the study draws on a wide range of ‘source genres’ to interrogate processes of collective memory across written histories, guidebooks, commemorative occasions and anniversaries, newspapers, internet forums, black history organisations and events, tours, museums, galleries and the built environment. By drawing on a range of material across a longue durée, the study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how this former ‘slaving capital of the world’ has remembered its exceptional involvement in transatlantic slavery across a two hundred year period. This thesis demonstrates how Liverpool’s memory of slavery has evolved through a chronological mapping (Chapter Two) which places memory in local, national and global context(s). The mapping of memory across source areas is reflected within the structure of the thesis, beginning with ‘Mapping the Discursive Terrain’ (Part One), which demonstrates the influence and intertextuality of identity narratives, anecdotes, metaphors and debates over time and genre; ‘Moments of Memory’ (Part Two), where public commemorative occasions, anniversaries and moments of ‘remembrance’ accentuate issues of ‘performing’ identity and the negotiation of a dissonant past; and ‘Sites of Memory’ (Part Three), where debate and discourse around particular places in Liverpool’s contested urban terrain have forged multiple lieux de memoire (sites of memory) through ‘myths’ of slave bodies and contestations over race and representation. -
