  • 1 2 3 4 5 a Brief Guide to Bruton Parish Church
    A BRIEF GUIDE TO BRUTON PARISH CHURCH (1) THE TOWER: The Tower was added to the church in 1769 and 1 houses the historic Tarpley Bell, given to Bruton Parish in 1761. It continues to summon worshippers every day. Inside the doorway of the Tower is a bronze bust of the Reverend W.A.R. Goodwin, rector, 1903-1909 and 1926-1938. (2) THE WEST GALLERY: Erected for The College of William and Mary students and the only original part of the interior, this gallery has a handrail with visible initials carved nearly 300 years ago. (3) THE HIGH BOX PEWS: These pews with doors were typical of unheated eighteenth-century English churches. Names on the doors 2 commemorate parish leaders and well-known patriots who worshipped here as college students or members of the colonial General Assembly. Names such as Patrick Henry, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and John Marshall remind us of the important place of Bruton Parish in colonial and early U.S. history. (4) THE GOVERNOR’S PEW: Reserved for the royal governor and Council members, 3 this pew has an ornate canopied chair. In colonial days it had curtains for privacy and warmth. Church wardens and vestrymen occupied the pews nearer the altar. Today, the choir uses them. (5) THE BRONZE LECTERN: In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt presented the lectern to Bruton to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the first permanent English settlement and the establishment of the Anglican church at Jamestown. Near the lectern are the 4 gravestones of royal Governor Francis Fauquier and patriot Edmund Pendleton.

  • Working with Churches with a Small Population
    Working with churches with a small population Why this paper? The Diocese of St Albans is committed to the flourishing of all its churches. We seek to Live God’s Love in all our communities, both large and small. Our focus is on keeping all our churches open in an appropriate way. However, there are a number of conversations going on in the Diocese concerning the sustainability and flourishing of local worshipping communities. For instance, Ampthill and Shefford and Bedford Deaneries are developing deanery pastoral plans and in this context some of the clergy consulted have raised questions about the viability of some churches in very small communities. There have been proposals to unite parishes and there is a need to consider the impact this would have, not least in terms of Parish Share. Other dioceses have been exploring options to support churches in very small communities and it is useful to assess whether some of these options might be applicable in individual cases in St Albans. We recognise that no one option will work for every case. This paper looks particularly at the context of rural churches in parishes with a very small population, but churches with a small worshipping community in urban or suburban contexts may share some of the same characteristics and may find some of the suggested options helpful. What are the issues? 26 parishes in the diocese have a population of up to 200, while 32 parishes have a worshipping community of 12 or fewer, based on the Church Membership Figure combining usual Sunday attendance and electoral roll numbers.

  • Introduction of a New Parish Priest (Pastor) Into His Parish by an Auxiliary Bishop
    1 INTRODUCTION OF A NEW PARISH PRIEST (PASTOR) INTO HIS PARISH BY AN AUXILIARY BISHOP Adapted from Ceremonial of Bishops (#1185-1198) and the Book of Blessings (Appendix 1) The Mass of the Sunday is celebrated. Handing over of the Keys of the Parish Church to the New Pastor At the threshold of the church, the auxiliary Bishop hands over the keys of the parish church to the new pastor. He may exhort him in these or similar words. Bishop: In the name of Archbishop Chaput, Father/Monsignor N., I entrust to you this parish church. Dedicated under the title of N., this church is above all a house of prayer, a temple of worship, a home in which the faithful are nourished by the Word of God and the Sacraments of the Church. It is the dwelling place of God on earth, a temple built of living stones, founded on the Apostles with Jesus Christ as its corner stone. It is here that, through the waters of baptism, God’s people die to sin and live again through grace as adopted children of God. Here they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit 2 and gather around the altar to celebrate the memorial of the Paschal Lamb being fed and nourished by Christ’s Body and Blood. Here they celebrate the sacraments of healing and reconciliation so that they might experience the peace which only Christ can give them. It is here that men and women are united in marriage to be a sign of the love Christ has for His Church.
