  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • Simone Weil: an Anthology
    PENGUIN � CLASSICS SIMONE WElL : AN AN THOL OGY SIMONE WElL (1909-1 943) is one of the most important thinkers of the modern period. The distinctive feature of her work is the indissoluble link she makes between the theory and practice of both politics and religion and her translation of thought into action . A brilliant philosopher and mathematician, her life rep­ resents a quest for justice and balance in both the academic and the practical spheres. A scholar of deep and wide erudition, she became during the thirties an inspired teacher and activist. So as to experience physical labour at first hand, she spent almost two years as a car factory worker soon after the Front Populaire and later became a fighterin the Spanish Civil War. When her home city of Paris was occupied, she joined the Resistance in the South of France and became for a time an agricultural labourer before acceding to her parents' wish to escape Nazi persecution of the Jews by fleeing to New York. Leaving America, she joined the Free French in London where, frustrated by the exclusively intellectual nature of the work delegated to her, and weakened by a number of physical and emotional factors, she contracted tuberculosis and died in a Kentish sanatorium at the age of thirty-four. The bulk of her voluminous oeuvre was published posthumously. SIAN MILES was born and brought up in the bi-cultural atmos­ phere of Wales and educated there and in France where she has lived for many years. She has taught at a number of universities worldwide, including Tufts University, Massachusetts, Dakar University, Senegal and York University, Toronto.

  • National Identity on the Portuguese-Spanish Frontier
    National identity on the Portuguese-Spanish frontier Anthropology Today, 2018, Vol. 34, Nº 4, 19-22 https://www.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1467-8322.12449 Please, cite the published version “This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: National Identity on the Portuguese-Spanish Frontier, which has been published in final form at 10.1111/1467-8322.12449. This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Use of Self-Archived Versions." LUÍS SILVA Luís Silva is a post-doctoral research fellow at the Centre for Research in Anthropology (CRIA NOVA FCSH), Portugal. His email is [email protected]. This is an ethnographic account of national identity in the day-to-day lives of village residents who live on opposite sides of the Guadiana River on the Portuguese-Spanish frontier.1 I examine ‘banal nationalism’ (Billig 1995), particularly the perceptions of differences in national culture and identity in two villages which face each other across the frontier area where the Portuguese region of Alentejo meets the Spanish region of Extremadura.2 I understand identity in terms of Brubaker and Cooper’s (2000: 4-5) idea of a ‘category of practice’ used by ordinary social actors in day-to-day settings ‘to make sense of themselves, of their activities, of what they share with, and how they differ from, others’. Politicians use it in this way too, aiming ‘to persuade people to understand themselves, their interests, and their predicaments … that they are (for certain purposes) “identical” with one another and at the same time different from others, and to organize and justify collective action along certain lines’.

  • Camino Chronicle, Newsletter No 22, September 2017
    Camino Chronicle Australian Friends of the Camino Newsletter No 22, September 2017 Page 1 AFotC Newsletter #22 Sep 2017 MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN Confucius said: “Wherever you go, go with all your heart”. When planning a Camino, whether for a short or long journey, this is what most of us do – we go with all our heart. There is something about the Camino that impels us to plan, prepare, and anticipate this journey with great excitement and yes – we do put our whole heart into it. Many of us find that it is not only the preparation for, and the journey itself, that we go with all our heart though. After the anticipation, followed by the exhilaration of the journey. we return with a head full of memories, and our heart is really touched. Ah, those Camino memories! We all have so many, triggered by so much. Many good memories, and maybe some that are not so good. Over the past few months I have been blessed with many opportunities to reminisce, and remem- ber, various Caminos with fellow pilgrims from as far away as WA, NT, and NSW. We polish our memories in numerous ways – by reading of others escapades, researching a new Camino, or just sharing and exchanging tales with pilgrim friends. So often it is these memories that prompt us in what we do in the months ahead, whatever paths we tread, whether here at home, or back on an- other pilgrimage path far afield. The Camino is so many things to so many of us. It might be an adventure, a time of challenge, a time of reflection, a time to change, or a time for making new friends.

  • The Parish of Compton
    The Parish of Compton Sunday 5 July 2020: The Fourth Sunday after Trinity Dear Friends, We have the benefit of two brilliant pictures from Jo Dix this week, illustrating the Gospel passage for the week from Matthew. You will find them in the text of the reading as part of the simple liturgy for use at home. It is a passage worth pondering, and Jo’s picture of the weary traveller is a very insightful commentary. Jesus offers release from the burdens of a religion which oppresses ordinary folk with rules, regulations and guilt: instead of an oppressive yoke, Jesus offers a way of life which is no less disciplined but inspired by his hallmark of the positive energy of love for God and neighbour. For those who wish to join the Zoom service this Sunday at 6.00pm for Evensong, we have a guest whom Jenny knows well. He is Bishop Jack Nicholls, formerly Bishop of Sheffield, and in that role he ordained her as a deacon and priest. Bishop Jack will be sharing with us in the light of his experience some reflections on the contrasts of North and South as they affect the nation and the church. You are welcome to join: if it is for the first time, please email the Parish Office at [email protected] so that we know to send you an invitation and link to join the Zoom meeting. This past week the annual act of remembrance around the Lochnagar Crater was held. The Crater, which is in the area of the Somme in France, was the site of a massive explosion on 1 July 1916 during the First World War.

One aspect of that privilege is the variety of opportunities to participate in events to celebrate the College’s achievements and heritage. For example, I very much look forward to seeing our 2014 Finalists back next summer when they graduate since a record number of forty-four individuals obtained first class degrees. But Keble past and present is commemorated in a host of different ways with many of them recorded on the College website. To illustrate that general point, I shall mention just three events which evidence the range. As I write this I have just hosted a party in honour of Dr George Richardson who was Warden of the College between 1989 and 1994 and who reached his ninetieth birthday on 20 September. Earlier in the month Amanda and I, in the company of the Chaplain and members of the Chapel Choir, attended a service at All Saints Margaret Street to mark the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Butterfield, whose creation of the physical fabric of the College has been so important to our history and our culture.

  • All Saints Parish Paper 7, MARGARET STREET, LONDON W1W 8JG JANUARY 2015 £1.00
    All Saints Parish Paper 7, MARGARET STREET, LONDON W1W 8JG www.allsaintsmargaretstreet.co.uk JANUARY 2015 £1.00 VICAR’S LETTER At Christmas we celebrate the Word made flesh, God the Son born as Mary’s child. Scripture and liturgy, carol and anthem, crib and nativity play, help us meditate on the reality of the divine becoming human and the human being taken into the divine. The incarnation demonstrates to us the value which God places on humankind, that he bound us to himself for ever. So it also shows the value which we should also place on human life from beginning to end, cradle to grave. In the week I am writing this, Hampden Gurney School will stage its nativity plays and the next day Fr Bowie and I assist Fr Beauchamp with the school Mass, something I do most weeks. People often say that “Christmas is for the children”. Fr Alan beside one of the new iron There is a suggestion that this means it chandeliers (Photo: Andrew Prior) isn’t really for adults and that they are a bit embarrassed by singing “Away in a infantilise us, but because the pride which manger” and the like. It is childish rather elevates one human being over another than mature — something which we should demeans the dignity of fellow human grow out of unless we are to remain stuck beings and children of God, made in the in childhood. And yet, there is a wonder divine image. The humility of the Wise Men in it which can light up the darkness of kneeling before the infant Jesus reminds us December and the winter of our cynicism, that humility before God and others is an despair and self-absorption.

  • Class, Culture and Conflict in Barcelona 1898–1937
    Class, Culture and Conflict in Barcelona 1898–1937 This is a study of social protest and repression in one of the twentieth century’s most important revolutionary hotspots. It explains why Barcelona became the undisputed capital of the European anarchist movement and explores the sources of anarchist power in the city. It also places Barcelona at the centre of Spain’s economic, social, cultural and political life between 1898 and 1937. During this period, a range of social groups, movements and institutions competed with one another to impose their own political and urban projects on the city: the central authorities struggled to retain control of Spain’s most unruly city; nationalist groups hoped to create the capital of Catalonia; local industrialists attempted to erect a modern industrial city; the urban middle classes planned to democratise the city; and meanwhile, the anarchists sought to liberate the city’s workers from oppression and exploitation. This resulted in a myriad of frequently violent conflicts for control of the city, both before and during the civil war. This is a work of great importance in the field of contemporary Spanish history and fills a significant gap in the current literature. Chris Ealham is Senior Lecturer in the Department of History, Lancaster University. He is co-editor of The Splintering of Spain: Historical Perspectives on the Spanish Civil War. His work focuses on labour and social protest in Spain, and he is currently working on a history of urban conflict in 1930s Spain. Routledge/Cañada Blanch Studies
