Dean of York to Retire News from the Church of England between the Humber and the Tees November 2011 Dean of York to retire The Very Revd Keith Jones, Dean of York, has announced he intends to retire on 30 April 2012. He has led York Minster as Dean since June 2004. He will carry on with his duties as normal up to his last day in office. During his eight years as Dean of York, he has seen major work of repair to the Minster’s glass and stone, especially at the East Front of the Minster. Another of his priorities has been to strengthen the Minster’s role in encouraging unity among Christians, celebrating for example the accession of Constantine in 2006 and the visit of the relics of St Therese of Lisieux in 2009. Minster: the colleagues, Dean Jones said, “These have craftspeople and volunteers, the been exciting, inspiring, endlessly friends across the churches, the varied years. But what a place to choirs and the worshippers. For work in!

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION. FORMER publications * of the Camden Society have brought before our notice Richard Duke of Gloucester, as continually engaged in the intrigues of a court or the storms of civil war, while for four centuries both his person and character have been the theme of almost universal vituperation. Into these subjects it is not the province of the editor of the present volume to enter; and, in truth, there is now the less occasion for it, since the volumes of Miss Halsted have appeared in the field of literature. This talented and zealous writer has adduced a host of authorities, apparently proving that his personal deformity existed but in the libels of an opposing faction, perpetuated in the pages of the poet and the novelist; while at the same time her researches seem to throw such light over the darker shades in his chequered career, as to induce the strongest presumption that he was not guilty of, or accessory to, those startling crimes which have been charged to his account. The limits, however, of the brief introduction allotted to this work, compel us to turn our attention from scenes of battle and of blood to other, and to us more interesting portions of his history. When, on the partition f of Warwick's vast domains between the sister heiresses, the lordship and manor of Middleharn, with its ancestral castle, became the fair heritage of Gloucester in * Historic of the Arrival of Edward IV. ; Warkworth's Chronicle ; and Polydore Vergil; being Nos.

    Find out more about The Church of England and The Diocese of York The Church of England The Church of England is led by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York and 106 other bishops. They provide guidance and direction to the churches across the country and make decisions on the Church in society. The General Synod is an assembly of bishops, clergy and laity (all members who are not part of the clergy), and creates the laws of the Church. ‘Synod’ is a Greek word meaning “coming together and finding a way”. The Archbishop of Canterbury has oversight for the ministry and mission in the southern two-thirds of England. He also fills a unique position in the world-wide Anglican communion as spiritual leader. The Archbishop of York has oversight for the ministry and mission in the northern third of England. Together they lead the vision and direction of the Church of England. Our two archbishops and 24 other bishops sit in the House of Lords, making a major contribution to Parliament's work. They are known as Lords Spiritual. Her Majesty the Queen is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. The Queen appoints archbishops, bishops and deans of cathedrals on the advice of the Prime Minister. There are 42 dioceses in the Church of England (though only 40 are in England, with the other 2 being the Diocese of Sodor and Man and the Diocese of Europe).

  • York Minster's Chapter House and Its Painted Glass Narratives
    York Minster’s Chapter House and its Painted Glass Narratives Volume 1 of 3 Ann Hilary Moxon PhD University of York History of Art December 2017 Abstract This thesis focuses on the late thirteenth-century narrative glazing scheme of the chapter house in York Minster and the political and religious context of its design. Created as an intrinsic and integrated part of one of the most elaborate and important buildings in the period, the glass has suffered interventions affecting both its appearance and the positions of its narrative panels. By examining the glass in the context of contemporary visual and textual material, it has been possible to reconstruct the original order of the panels and to identify the selection of episodes the lives of the saints, some for the first time. The study has demonstrated the extent to which the iconography was rooted in liturgy and theology relevant to the period which, in turn, reflected the priorities of a dominant group among the active members of Chapter for whose use the building was constructed and, by extension, the contemporary Church. Further, the glass shows strong Mariological themes which reflected features in the rest of the decorative scheme and the architecture of the chapter house, indicating that the glazing scheme may have been conceived as part of the architectural whole. The conclusions are supported by parallel research into the prosopography of the contemporary Chapter which additionally suggests that the conception of the programme may have had its roots in the baronial wars of the

  • The History of Clementhorpe Nunnery
    Volume 2 Fascicule 1 The History of Clementhorpe Nunnery By R. B. Dobson and Sara Donaghey With contributions by D. A. Brinklow and D. A. Stocker Introduction The priory of Clementhorpe, as the only medieval nunnery in the immediate vicinity of the city of York and the first post-Conquest religious house for women in the whole of Yorkshire, has justifiable grounds for more scholarly attention than it has hitherto received. On the other hand, and like the great majority of the hundred or so houses of nuns founded in England and Wales between 1066 and 1216, the detailed history of the priory is very inadequately documented. It was accordingly all the more welcome that the redevelopment for housing by York City Council of an area bounded by the modern streets of Clementhorpe, Cherry Street and Lower Darnborough Street (Fig. 1) offered an opportunity to conduct excavations during 1976 and 1977. Records of a Roman mosaic pavement (RCHMY 1, 62) discovered during the 19th century provided the initial impetus for the excavations. The position of fragments of presumed precinct wall of the priory recorded on the 1852 Ordnance Survey map (City of York, Sheet 15, redrawn as Fig. 2) indicated that they too would be disturbed by the housing development. An area of approximately 390 sq m within the presumed precinct was therefore chosen for examination. The excavations were directed in 1976 by Sara Donaghey and in 1977 by David Brinklow. The detailed archaeological results are to be found in AY 6, AY 8, AY 12 and AY 13. All finds and site records are lodged with the Yorkshire Museum, York, under the Trust and Museum accession numbers 1976.3 and 1977.3.

  • The Consecration of the Revd Dr Andrew Emerton Dean of St Mellitus College to Be Bishop of Sherwood
    The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of St Peter in York The Consecration of The Revd Dr Andrew Emerton Dean of St Mellitus College to be Bishop of Sherwood by The Rt Revd Paul Butler Lord Bishop of Durham assisted by the Bishop of London and the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham with The Most Revd and Rt Hon Stephen Cottrell Lord Archbishop of York, Primate of England and Metropolitan Monday 21 September 2020 at 2.30 pm Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist The Consecration and Ordination of a Bishop The ministry of the church is the ministry of Christ, its chief shepherd and high priest. Those who are ordained are called to share Christ’s work, to speak in his name and build up the Church of which Christ is the head. This service of ordination perpetuates a pattern of ministry in direct continuity—through a long line of succession—with the apostles. Just as Jesus commissioned his first disciples, so by the laying on of hands the President will commission this disciple to mission. That is, to witness to the resurrection and to preach the good news of salvation in all the world. The particular role of the Bishop—while remaining a deacon and priest—is to proclaim and guard the faith, to preside of the sacraments, to lead the Church’s prayer and to hand on its ministry. During the service the candidate will be asked to confirm his commitment to these priorities. All who are present will be asked to undertake to support the ordination of this candidate, not least because as bishop he will act not just on behalf of particular local Christian communities, but of the whole Church.
