PLACES OF WORSHIP Please note that when visiting places of worship mobile phones should be switched off and we suggest appropriate dress code such as shoulders being covered, no short skirts etc. Some venues will have specific rules which we have pointed out below. Visits to all places of worship are very popular and have limited time slots for group visits so they are strictly subject to availability. You may need to be flexible with your dates and times. Please advise at provisional booking stage which visits are essential for your tour to go ahead and we will source if they are available before your tour plans go any further. WALKING TOURS Our specialist Blue Badge Guide in London Ruth Polling can help your students discover more about the places of worship around London past and present. Ruth studied history and religious studies at degree level. Since graduating as a guide Ruth has worked with a number of school groups devising specific tours to cover GCSE and A Level curriculum. Ruth is passionate about working with young people to bring the school curriculum to life by teaching outside the classroom in places related to the course of study. She will work with your prior to your departure to tailor make your tour to provide the best experience for your school and its students. Here are Ruth’s suggested walking tours for you: Walking tour - Immigration and Religion in London's East End The East End of London has long been the centre of immigration in the UK. This walking tour will take you through the history of immigration in the area and the impact this has had on the religions practiced here. From the French Protestant Huguenots of the 17th and 18th centuries, to the Jewish community of the 19th and 20th centuries to the Muslim Bangladeshi community today, this area has seen massive religious change including one building which has served as a church, synagogue and mosque at different points over its 300 year history. Walking tour - Churches in a Changing City The City of London once had over 100 churches serving a large residential population. As people moved from the City to the suburbs these churches have had to find a new role. This walking tour will take in a number of examples from churches converted into gardens, to those offering lunchtime services to office workers, to a centre for peace and reconciliation, those hosting services for other denominations and London's diverse community and those providing other services including cafes and counselling. See how worship continues in the very centre of London. BEVIS MARKS SYNAGOGUE Situated in the City of London just off the ancient thoroughfare of Bevis Marks, this Synagogue is a Grade I listed building and is the only synagogue in Europe that has held regular services continuously for over 300 years.

  • Churches of Marylebone (Pdf)
    The Churches of Marylebone The Parish Church: Marylebone owes its name to its parish church. Although originally dedicated to St John the Baptist, the Parish Church has, since 1400, been dedicated to The Blessed Virgin Mary. A parish church is recorded by the 12th century and this building was situated on, what is today, Oxford Street. The parish church has always been the parish church of the Manor of Tyburn and when the parish church was moved to a position opposite the old manor house (at the top of what is now Marylebone High Street) St Mary by the Ty Bourne got shortened to Mary-le bone and then to Marylebone. The present parish church building dates from 1817 and was designed by the architect Thomas Hardwicke. Now, just off the High Street, there are three churches. They are from different Christian traditions, with different patterns of worship and different emphases in the faith, but they work together. They are one in following Jesus and his way of love. The Parish Church and Hinde Street Methodist Church signed a formal Covenant to work together in 2007. They have active links with other faiths: with the West London Synagogue, the London Central Mosque and the Buddhist Temple on Margaret Street. The parish of St Marylebone once encompassed an enormous geographical area stretching from Oxford Street in the south to Maida Vale in the north and Edgware Road in the west to the boundary with Camden in the east: the old manors of Tyburn and Lillestone. Today, this area is served by many other parish churches, all carved out of the historic parish of St Marylebone.

  • Milestones in Publishing the Spanish and Portuguese Prayer Book in London
    MILESTONES IN PUBLISHING THE SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE PRAYER BOOK IN LONDON By Dr Roy Shasha, Jerusalem – August 2020 Introduction The year 2020 marks the publication of the first new British edition of the Spanish and Portuguese prayer book in over 100 years. This achievement represents the culmination of many years of planning, a major re-editing of the text and the preparation of a new translation by a small body of dedicated professional staff and a larger number of equally dedicated volunteers. Therefore, this is perhaps an appropriate moment for us to stand back and view this achievement within its historical context. An excellent brief history of the printing of the Spanish and Portuguese prayer book was written by Hakham Gaster in the introduction to his edition of the prayer book, and the writer wishes to acknowledge his debt to this important piece of work. However, the intention and scope of this work is quite different to that of Dr Gaster in a number of respects. 1. We have attempted to list all Spanish and Portuguese prayer books planned, printed, or edited in London, including a number that were not authorised by the Mahamad and one that was written but not published. Also included are all the known Spanish translations of the text prepared in London. 2. Each volume seen has been described in a precise bibliographical fashion, and as far as possible not only reprints, but also bibliographical variants have been noted. 3. Each edition has been placed wherever possible in a historical context. A brief biography of each editor or translator has been included, together with information as to how the books were distributed.

  • Introduction
    Introduction In the preceding sections we have looked into the general strategies of London’s Sephardi congregation with regard to oversight of printed materials as they transpired from the Mahamad’s decisions, and offered an analysis of the logics behind these strategies, as they translated into a defined language policy. In brief, the congregation consciously sought to have full control over printed materials, while at the same time, and not following any specific deci- sion, it created four realms of activity, with each allotted a specific language. This analysis will not be complete without an address of the practices of implementation over the years. Part 3 explores the extent to which the print regulations were applied and the degree to which community members inter- ested in publishing sought out the Mahamad’s permission. Did the Mahamad actually strive to implement its censorial policies? Was it able to effectively apply them? It will be safe to assume that changes made to the censorship by- law over the course of time were not devoid of context and reflected the shifting challenges with which the Mahamad had to cope (some of those chal- lenges were hinted at above). Perhaps then, the best way to analyze the pat- terns of censorship and their amendment over time will be to look into the publications on the one hand, and the censorial trends on the other, that char- acterized the periods between the various versions of the Ascamot, from 1664 and up to the beginning of the nineteenth century. This analysis will also give us a new perspective through which we can understand the metamorphosis of the congregation with the passing of time.

  • Islamic Radicalization in the Uk: Index of Radicalization
    ISLAMIC RADICALIZATION IN THE UK: INDEX OF RADICALIZATION Anna Wojtowicz, (Research Assistant, ICT) Sumer 2012 ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to analyze the process of radicalization amongst British Muslims in the United Kingdom. It begins with a review of the Muslim population, demographics and community structure. Further presenting several internal and external indicators that influenced and led to radicalization of Muslim youth in Britain. The paper concludes that there is no one certainty for what causes radicalization amongst Muslims in United Kingdom. However, it is certain that Islamic radicalization and the emergence of a homegrown threat is a growing trend that jeopardizes the countries security, peace and stability. Radicalization in the United Kingdom is an existing concern that needs to be addressed and acted upon immediately. Misunderstanding or underestimating the threat may lead to further and long term consequences. * The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT). 2 I.

Weeks This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 15 November 2012 Abstract The contemporary threat of terrorism has changed the ways in which government and the public view the world. Unlike the existential threat from nation states in previous centuries, today, government and the public spend much of their effort looking for the inward threat. Brought about by high profile events such as 9/11, 7/7, and 3/11, and exacerbated by globalisation, hyper-connected social spheres, and the media, the threats from within are reinforced daily. In the UK, government has taken bold steps to foment public safety and public security but has also been criticised by some who argue that government actions have labelled Muslims as the ‘suspect other’. This thesis explores the counterterrorism environment in London at the community/government interface, how the Metropolitan Police Service and London Fire Brigade deliver counter-terrorism policy, and how individuals and groups are reacting.
