  • News from the Catholic Church in Scotland Press Release
    NEWS FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN SCOTLAND PRESS RELEASE: Scottish Catholic Archives at Columba House to close as of Monday 8 April: Columba House, an early 19th-century townhouse in Edinburgh, which has been home to the Scottish Catholic Archives for over 50 years, is to close to researchers and members of the public from Monday 8 April 2013 until further notice. The archive collections are the responsibility of the Trustees of the Scottish Catholic Heritage Collections Museum (commonly called the Blairs Museum), who have taken the decision after receiving reports from specialists in archive conservation and historic buildings. The immediate cause of the closure has been the discovery of mould on items in the collection, which require urgent conservation treatment. This is the result of dampness in Columba House¹s main storage area in the sub-basement. Reports spanning a period of more than thirty years indicate that this has been a recurrent problem. Fortunately, an Agreement is already in place between the Trustees and the University of Aberdeen in terms of which the University agreed to house the archives on long-term loan. They will be accommodated in the University¹s 21st-century Special Collections Centre in the iconic Sir Duncan Rice Library. It is clear that the transfer from Edinburgh to Aberdeen is now not only desirable but also essential, to protect and preserve the historic archives for posterity, and to make them again available for research as soon as possible. Archbishop Mario Conti, Chairman of the Trustees, said: “We have emphasised for some time that Columba House was not fit for purpose.

    4 I AhENoAtTlEM)k, NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL ~ To: POLICY & RESOURCES COMMITTEE 1. Introduction 1.1 The Scottish Office has recently published for information and consultation a document entitled "Open and Accountable: Public Bodies in Scotland" which seeks to provide information on executive Non-Departmental Public Bodies and similar bodies such as health authorities in Scotland. 1.2 The document sets out plans to improve openness through increased accessibility and new appointment procedures: and identifies steps undertaken within the Scottish Office and public bodies to improve their management and supervision. 1.3 COSLA has circulated the document to local authorities and invited comments on the consultation paper by 9 September 1996 in order to assist COSLA in preparing its response to the document. 1.4 A copy of the Scottish Office paper is annexed as Appendix 1. Although the paper is consultative insofar as the Secretary of State has made clear that he will consider carefully all views on the document which are received, in large measure, the document is drafted in such a way as to give factual information on steps which have been taken or decisions taken within the Scottish Office in relation to improvement of the management and supervision of these public bodies. 1.5 The document firstly seeks to describe the non-departmental public bodies which are the principal subject of the document, identifying that "quangos" is a commonly used general term to cover nationalised industries, public corporations and NHS bodies in addition to non- departmental public bodies. 1.6 The document is intended to cover the non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) with executive responsibilities in Scotland and NHS bodies (Health Boards and Trusts).

  • The Siamese Twins, the Bunker Family, and Nineteenth-Century U.S
    American Family, Oriental Curiosity: The Siamese Twins, the Bunker Family, and Nineteenth-Century U.S. Society Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joseph Andrew Orser Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, Adviser John Brooke Alan Gallay Copyright by Joseph Andrew Orser 2010 Abstract This dissertation examines the cultural and social spaces that conjoined brothers Chang and Eng Bunker occupied, interrogating the insights their lives offer into nineteenth-century ideas of race, class, gender, and respectability. Chang and Eng were conjoined twins of Chinese descent whose stage name, the Siamese Twins, derived from the country of their birth. The brothers toured the United States as “Oriental” curiosities from 1829 to 1839, and then settled in North Carolina as farmers, becoming slaveholders, marrying white sisters, and eventually fathering twenty-one children between them. In 1849, the twins returned to touring, this time taking two daughters along with them; until their deaths in 1874, Chang and Eng exhibited themselves and their offspring, touring as the Siamese Twins and Children. Through promotional literature, personal correspondence, visual images and newspaper reports, this work traces the evolution of public discourse about the twins and their families, contributing to other considerations of the twins and the course of American Orientalism. This dissertation goes further, however, by introducing early Asian Americans to considerations of the turbulent terrain of class and respectability in the 1830s and 1840s; the increasingly divisive debates over slavery, nativism, and sectionalism; and the tensions of national reunion in the years following the Civil War.

With just over a month to go before the Pope arrives Cardinal Keith O’Brien of St Andrews and Edinburgh and Archbishop Mario Conti of Glasgow admitted the run up to the Papal visit had not been without problems. Both men said they were confident the Pope’s time here would be a resounding success however. Benefits and boosts Cardinal O’Brien said that the Church had not had long to prepare for the Pope’s arrival but the benefits would be extraordinary. “The Bishops of Scotland believe that the reli- gious meaning and social value of a personal visit to our country from the Successor of Peter far out- weigh the practical and financial problems which we continue to face and try to solve,” he said. Archbishop Conti said that the presence of the Pope would give the Church in Scotland a vital boost after a difficult period. “At times we may all feel the Church has in recent months been under hostile scrutiny and that clergy particularly have been sifted like wheat,” he said.

It echoes the oft-repeated exhortation of Our Lord, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.” Our model in this regard in the Gospel is Mary, who takes into her heart all the events of the birth and infancy of Jesus and keeps them there. She who listens is not a passive spectator. By her initial reception of the word brought by the angel Gabriel she conceives the Word in her heart and in her womb. Then, in her visitation to Elizabeth, she completes Old Testament prophecy with her song, the Magnificat, and at the same time anticipates the proclamation of the Gospel. In the Magnificat, she proclaims the pulling down from their thrones of the mighty, and the lifting up the lowly, the ending of the present order of the world and the beginning of a new world based on divine justice, that will be brought about by the Messiah. In St Luke’s account of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, which concludes his narrative of the birth, and traditionally marks a final liturgical farewell to Christmas in the Feast of the Presentation on 2nd February, Simeon takes up the Magnificat’s theme of the rise of the humble and the fall of the mighty, when he says to Mary, “This child is set for the rise and the fall of many in Israel”, and prophesies that the sword that will separate those who rise and those who fall will pass through the heart of Mary.
