President Fiscal Year 2013-2014, for The Church Club of New York, marked the third and final year serving as your President. My term on the Board of Trustees also concluded, and I take this occasion to express my profound gratitude for having had the opportunity to work with a dedicated and talented Board, and !to serve you, our Membership. Significant highlights of Fiscal Year 2013-2014 included strengthening professional management by changing Executive Director Barbara Hayward’s position from interim to permanent; innovative and ambitious programming of events at various parishes around New York; and the launching of an important new initiative, the Church Club’s Young Adult of the Year Service Recognition Award. Additionally, the year ended fiscally more secure than in Stanley M. Ackert III the recent past, without incurring an annual deficit for the first time in nine ! consecutive years. The achievements have afforded a period of transition for the Church Club, leaving us a stronger, and more viable, organization for the future. We will need that strength in the coming year as the Church Club will again have to relocate its headquarters and archives due to the pending sale of the !building where our current office is situated at 281 Park Avenue South. I invite you to peruse the following pages of the 2013-2014 Annual Report, which chronicle events enjoyed by our members, friends, and guests during the fiscal year; as well as our 127th Annual Award Dinner, at which The Very Rev. Robert Willis, Dean of Canterbury Cathedral, England, was the guest of honor and The Rt. Rev. Andrew Dietsche, Bishop of New York, accepted an honorarium from the Church Club for the Bishop’s discretionary fund, and offered the Invocation at the Dinner. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

The Award is accompanied by an honorarium in the amount of $1,000 ($500 for the Young Adult and $500 for the Young Adult’s church or designated community outreach ministry), presented at the Church Club’s Annual Meeting.

MDCCCXLIIL Digitized by GoogI e OXPOBD: PRINTSD BY I. 8RBlIlPTON. THE OXFORD SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE STUDY OF GO THIC ARCHITECTURE. GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE is a subject which has of late years excited a considerable degree of public interest, and the labours of many eminent individuals have been directed to the recovery of its Principles. From the scarcity of records ex­ isting monuments are the safest guides in this research: but as they are widely separated, the labour of examination and comparison is so great, that, without some more systematic plan of operation than has hitherto been adopted, we can scarcely expect that the task will be satisfactorily accom­ plished. It has been suggested that this inconvenience may be best met by the formation of Local Associations, having for their principal aim the collecting of Drawings, and descriptions of the Edifices in their immediate neighbourhood, which would thus form so many sources, whence the enquirers into the Gothic Antiquities of any particular district might derive in­ formation.· In furtherance of this object, "The Oxford Society for Promoting the Study of Gothic Architecture" .has been established. The number of Churches now fast rising in every part of tbecountry, renders it 6ithe highest importance to provide for the cultivation of correct Architectural Taste; the circum­ stances of this place seem to point it out as peculiarly well suited for the purpose; because many of its residents are, or soon will be, Clergymen, the constituted guardians of our Ecclesiutical Edifices, while the City itself, and its neigh­ bourhood, abound in specimens of every period of the Art.

  • The Hammer-Beam Roof: Tradition, Innovation and the Carpenter’S Art in Late Medieval England
    The Hammer-Beam Roof: Tradition, Innovation and the Carpenter’s Art in Late Medieval England Robert Beech A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Art History, Film and Visual Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis is about late medieval carpenters, their techniques and their art, and about the structure that became the fusion of their technical virtuosity and artistic creativity: the hammer-beam roof. The structural nature and origin of the hammer-beam roof is discussed, and it is argued that, although invented in the late thirteenth century, during the fourteenth century the hammer-beam roof became a developmental dead-end. In the early fifteenth century the hammer-beam roof suddenly blossomed into hundreds of structures of great technical proficiency and aesthetic acumen. The thesis assesses the role of the hammer-beam roof of Westminster Hall as the catalyst to such renewed enthusiasm. This structure is analysed and discussed in detail.

    Anglican Fellowship of Prayer Volume 28, No. 4 December 2020 Serving, Supporting, and Encouraging Prayer The Light is Stronger Than the Darkness A letter from National Director Paul Feheley On November 18,1991 Shiite Muslim kidnappers in Lebanon freed Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite after more than four years of captivity. Terry was the special envoy for peace and reconciliation of the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie. He had travelled to Lebanon to try to secure the release of four hostages when He himself was kidnapped and held captive from 1987 to 1991 with four years spent in solitary confinement. Terry’s faith was an incredibly important sustaining factor in keeping his courage and spirits alive during his ordeal. His words, “The light is stronger than the darkness” inspired the Dean of Canterbury, Robert Willis to pen an exceptionally beautiful hymn which speaks to our world in an immensely powerful way today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDTO6RgrZj0) In a world where people walk in darkness Let us turn our faces to the light, to the light of God revealed in Jesus, to the Daystar scattering our night. (Refrain) For the light is stronger than the darkness And the day will overcome the night. Though the shadows linger all around us, Let us turn our faces to the light. In a world where suff'ring of the helpless Casts a shadow all along the way, Let us bear the Cross of Christ with gladness And proclaim the dawning of the day. (Refrain) Let us light a candle in the darkness, In the face of death, a sign of life.
