It was open to all Bishops, Priests, Deacons, and Ordi- nands who were in sympathy with the aims of the First Anglo-Catholic Con- gress (held in the Albert Hall on June 29, 30, and July i, 1920), of which it was a direct outcome. The Bishop of Oxford (The Rt. Revd. H. M. Burge, D.D.) was President of the Convention, the Warden of Keble CoUege (The Revd. B. J. Kidd, D.D.) was the Revd. H. Chairman, A. Wilson, M.A., was Secretary, and Major-General G. Carleton Jones, G.M.G., was Treasurer. The initial plans were in the hands of an Executive Committee in London (Chairman, The Revd. M. E. Atlay, M.A., Vicar of St. Matthew's Church, Westminster), which worked in co- with an operation Oxford Committee (Chairman, The Warden viii Anglo-Catholic Priests' Convention of Keble), which made all local arrangements. A special Hospi- of tality Committee admirably organized the provision board and lodging for the members of the Convention in colleges and elsewhere. Holy Communion was given on July 19 in Keble College Chapel, on July 20 in New College Chapel, on July 21 in Magdalen in the Cathedral the celebrant on College Chapel, and on July 22 ; the first morning being the Warden of Keble, and on the other mornings the Rt. Revd. E. D. Shaw, D.D., Archdeacon of Oxford. Arrangements for visiting Priests to say Mass were made at many churches, convents, and colleges. There were 1,199 Priests present in Oxford for the Convention, each of whom was requested to wear, at all services and sessions, a small ticket on which his name and address were written. On the morning of Tuesday, July 19, Pontifical High Mass of the Holy Ghost was celebrated in St. Barnabas' Church at 10 a.m. The celebrating Prelate (The Rt. Revd. Vibert Jackson, Assist- ant Bishop, British Honduras) was received at the South-west door of the Church at 9.45; simultaneously the members of the Convention left St. Barnabas' Schools, where they had vested, and walked in procession to the church. After the Mass the members dispersed and at 12 noon were assembled in the church of St. Mary the Virgin to hear the Sermon preached by the Bishop of Oxford, President of the Convention. All sessions were held in the Town Hall. The first was preceded by an official welcome of the Convention by the Warden of Keble (acting on behalf of the President, who had been summoned to London at short notice) and by the Deputy-Mayor and Aldermen of Oxford. A vote of thanks from the members was proposed by the Revd. M. E. Atlay and carried by acclamation. In the afternoon of Wednesday, July 20, the members were invited by the ladies of Oxford to a garden party in the grounds of New College by the permission of the Warden and Fellows. The Warden (The Revd. Canon W. A. Spooner, D.D.) attended the evening session of the Convention, and a vote of thanks was passed to him for his kindness. Of the papers read in session and printed in this volume some, owing to exigencies of space, have been slightly curtailed for publication.* After the third, fourth, fifth, and seventh sessions there were discussions, of which (as also of the meeting held in camera on the morning of Friday, July 22) a summary will be found in its place. * Viz. : Nos. IV (The Revd. Dr. Sparrow Simpson), XI (The Revd. J. J. G. Stockley), XII (The Revd. J. C. H. How), XIII (The Revd. Canon Long), XV (The Revd. Fr. Denys). IX Introduction The Priests in T is no very hazardous con- their Conven- jecture that those persons tion made plain who whether as acknow- to the most cri- tical observer ledged opponents or as relent- that lessly candid friends are observing the Catholic Move- ment in the Church of England with keenly critical eyes, were stirred by the 'Priests' Convention of 1921, no less than by the Anglo-Catholic Congress of 1920, to a sense of very genuine surprise. In the Congress they had looked for a rather arrogant demonstration of conscious strength a shout of triumph ending, perhaps, in a shriek of defiance. They found, as its atmosphere, an eager devotion of humility and thankfulness and, as its memorable climax, a spon- taneous offering to the foreign Mission field to be the fruit and visible sign of a purely spiritual enthusiasm. In the Convention, where only Priests would fore- gather and where exhortation was to be followed by debate, they were not slow to prophesy a set of all rivalries of papers Pharisaically pre-occupied with party- preference or shibboleths and an air thick with flying repartees.

  • See of Dorchester Papers
    From the Bishop of Oxford As a Diocese, we are prayerfully seeking the person whom God is calling to be the next Bishop of Dorchester, one of three Area bishops in the Diocese of Oxford. At the heart of our vision we discern a call to become a more Christ-like Church for the sake of God’s world: contemplative, compassionate and courageous. Most of all we are seeking a new Bishop for Dorchester who will seek to model those qualities and inspire the Church of England across the Dorchester Area to live them out in our daily lives. Our new Bishop will therefore be a person of prayer, immersed in the Scriptures and the Christian tradition, able to be at home with and to love the clergy, parishes and benefices in many different church traditions and many different social contexts. We are seeking a person able to watch over themselves in a demanding role and to model healthy and life-giving patterns of ministry. We want our new bishop to be an inspiring leader of worship, preacher and teacher in a range of different contexts and to be a pastor to the ministers of the Area. The Bishop of Dorchester leads a strong and able Area Team in taking forward the common vision of the Diocese of Oxford in the Dorchester Area. Full details of that process can be found in these pages and on our diocesan website. We are therefore seeking a Bishop who can demonstrate commitment and experience to our diocesan priorities. The Bishop of Dorchester holds a significant place in the civic life of the area: we are therefore seeking a bishop who is able to make a confident contribution to wider society beyond the life of the church in civil, ecumenical and interfaith engagement and who is able to live and articulate the Christian gospel in the public square.

    Religion and Innovation in Human Affairs (RIHA) Exploring the Role of Religion in the Origins of Novelty and the Diffusion of Innovation in the Progress of Civilizations Religion and Innovation: Naturalism, Scientific Progress, and Secularization Protestantism? Reflections in Advance of the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation ($75,000). Gordon College. PIs: Thomas Albert Howard (Gordon College) and Mark A. Noll (University of Notre Dame) With an eye on the approaching quincentennial, of the Protestant Reformation, the project has engaged in a fundamental inquiry into the historical significance of Protestantism, its heterogeneous trajectories of influence, and their relationship to forces of social innovation, political development, and religious change in the modern West and across the globe. The quincentennial of the Protestant Reformation in 2017 will bring into public view longstanding scholarly debates, interpretations and their revisions—along with lingering confessional animosities and more recent ecumenical overtures. For Western Christianity, a moment of historical recollection on this scale has not presented itself in recent memory. Acts of commemoration can be enlisted to reflect, shape, and introduce novel forces into history. They were not simply conduits or transmitters of the old, but definers and harbingers of the new. In this sense, we might view the past commemorations of the Reformation as being not unlike the sixteenth-century Reformation itself: a series of acts motivated by the desire of retrieval and restoration that, in the final analysis, left a legacy of profound change, disruption, and innovation in human history.

  • JOINT PRESS RELEASE from Reform and Oxford Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship for Immediate Release
    JOINT PRESS RELEASE from Reform and Oxford Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship For immediate release. Evangelicals call for the Church of England to uphold the gospel of Jesus Christ This week began with Katherine Jefferts Schori, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church (TEC) of the USA preaching in Westminster Abbey, it will end, we are told with Canon Michael Smith of York Minster blessing the York Gay Pride March. In between we have seen the Bishop of Buckingham describe doctrine that he swore to teach and pass on as ‘lousy’. Nowhere in any of this has there been the clear message of the Gospel that despite our rejection of his ways we are all loved by God and can find forgiveness through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is not surprising then, that the majority of the world’s Anglicans now look to the Primates of Global Anglican Future Conference GAFCON for leadership – the only question is whether after weeks like this one, those in the Church of England who wish to proclaim this Gospel will be forced to follow the same path. “Christianity is based on revealed doctrine, enabling individuals to live rightly before a Holy God as followers of Jesus Christ. He tells us how to live in all areas of life, including in areas of sexual behaviour. No denomination is at liberty to invent its own doctrine or to sacrifice revealed doctrine on the altars of contemporary fashion. We cannot be authentically Christian whilst simultaneously rejecting the teaching of the one we claim to follow.” Rev Simon Austen – Rector of St Leonard’s Church, Exeter Diocese “York Minster’s leading the way in the Gay Pride march is symbolic of what the Church of England’s leadership is doing generally on this issue – leading people away from the clear teaching of the Bible and the Gospel.

  • Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1980
    Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1980 Robert L. Richardson, Jr. A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by, Michael H. Hunt, Chair Richard Kohn Timothy McKeown Nancy Mitchell Roger Lotchin Abstract Robert L. Richardson, Jr. Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1985 (Under the direction of Michael H. Hunt) This dissertation examines the origins and evolution of neoconservatism as a philosophical and political movement in America from 1945 to 1980. I maintain that as the exigencies and anxieties of the Cold War fostered new intellectual and professional connections between academia, government and business, three disparate intellectual currents were brought into contact: the German philosophical tradition of anti-modernism, the strategic-analytical tradition associated with the RAND Corporation, and the early Cold War anti-Communist tradition identified with figures such as Reinhold Niebuhr. Driven by similar aims and concerns, these three intellectual currents eventually coalesced into neoconservatism. As a political movement, neoconservatism sought, from the 1950s on, to re-orient American policy away from containment and coexistence and toward confrontation and rollback through activism in academia, bureaucratic and electoral politics. Although the neoconservatives were only partially successful in promoting their transformative project, their accomplishments are historically significant. More specifically, they managed to interject their views and ideas into American political and strategic thought, discredit détente and arms control, and shift U.S. foreign policy toward a more confrontational stance vis-à-vis the Soviet Union.

  • Here Is Characteristically Anglican Liberty Which Encourages Members „To Develop Their Personal Gifts and Thus to Enrich the Offering Laid at the Feet of Christ‟
    THE ORATORY OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD The First Seventy Five Years by GEORGE TIBBATTS,* OGS {* spelling corrected} - 2 - {iv} Copyright © Almoner, Oratory of the Good Shepherd 1988 Published by The Almoner, OGS, 56 Buckland Crescent. Windsor, Berks. Printed by Dramrite Printers Ltd, Southwark, London SE1 ISBN No. 1 871161 00 2 In this digital copy the start of each page of the book and other editorial notes are shown by e.g. {10}. - 3 - {v} FOREWORD This history appears as the Oratory celebrates the seventy fifth anniversary of its foundation in Cambridge in 1913. Canon Tibbatts, who has served both as Secretary-General and Superior, is uniquely qualified to tell the story. His association with the Oratory began in his undergraduate days at Kings in the l920ies. He knew personally the founding fathers and enjoyed their friendship. In the years preceding the first world war three young clerical dons (John How, Eric Milner-White and Edward Wynn) sought to establish a society for celibate priests, bound by a common rule of life, marked by Catholic discipline of prayer and devotion, and characterised by the importance attached to regular and systematic study in the life of a priest Their inspiration was drawn from the Catholic revival of the previous century, and they were concerned to make a distinctive witness in the religious life of the University. The ethos of the Oratory was, and has continued to be essentially Anglican in its Catholic form. The devotion to Our Lord as the Good Shepherd, the adoption of Nicholas Ferrar of Little Gidding as patron, testify to the pastoral ideal and English temper of the Oratory.

  • Henry Chadwick 1920–2008
    HENRY CHADWICK Reproduced by permission of The Times Henry Chadwick 1920–2008 I THE ACCUMULATED DISTINCTION of the Chadwick family is something of a byword. Henry Chadwick was the son of a notably brilliant and success- ful barrister (a former Wrangler in the Cambridge Tripos) who wrote a landmark book on property law; the brother of one senior economist and diplomat and one prolifi c, universally respected and loved academic histor- ian; and, not least, the father of a charismatic headmistress and educa- tionalist. But this was not a typical Oxbridge academic dynasty: the family’s roots lay in Lancashire, and Henry’s grandfather was a mining engineer, whose untimely death in a pit accident meant that John Chadwick senior was brought up by his mother (who came from a farming family at Westleigh) and, after an education at Rossall School, proceeded to Pembroke, Cambridge, studying fi rst Mathematics and then Law, moving to the Inner Temple. He married Edith Horrocks, from another solidly Lancashire line (her father had been Mayor of Leigh), a fi ne pianist and a woman of culture and education, and six children, four boys and two girls, were born to them. They made their home in Bromley, Kent, where their fourth child, Henry, was born on 23 June 1920. John Chadwick survived service in the RNVR during the First World War only to die of meningitis at the age of 51, when Henry was ten. Henry thus came to share his father’s experience of being brought up by a widowed mother, and it is not fanciful to see his extraordinary musical talent as a mark of his mother’s encouragement and inspiration.
