But during the past few months I have visited three other, oft-forgotten palaces in London: the Palace of Westminster, now the seat of parliamentary government; the Palace of Whitehall, most of which was destroyed by Above: The Palace of Westminster, seen fire over 300 years ago; and Lambeth Palace, from Lambeth Palace... this was the main the official London residence of the London residence of English kings for Archbishop of Canterbury. almost 500 years.

Westminster Abbey and to government buildings in Whitehall and Downing Street. The first royal palace was built here in the 11th century, and this was the main London residence of English kings from 1049 to 1530. By the 13th century, Westminster had become the centre of government, and today it is home to both the House of Lords and the House of Commons. My visit began in Westminster Hall, the oldest remaining part of the palace. Built in 1097, it later became the home of Parliament, which met there from the 13th century. The hall saw the trials of Sir Thomas More, Cardinal John Fisher, Guy Fawkes and Warren Hastings; here Sir Winston Churchill lay in state; and here Nelson Mandela, Pope Benedict XVI and President Barack Obama addressed both Left: The Clock Tower or ‘Big Ben’... one of the most visited tourist sights in London. houses of parliament.

When fire destroyed most of the Old Palace in 1834, only Westminster Hall, the Cloisters of Saint Stephen’s, the Chapel of Saint Mary Undercroft and the Jewel Tower were left standing.

    October 15, 2018 ! Saints risk all for love of Jesus, Pope says at Canonisation Mass The banners of new saints Oscar Romero and Paul VI hang from the facade of St Peter's Basilica [email protected] Page !1 October 15, 2018 Carrying Pope Paul VI’s pastoral staff and wearing the blood-stained belt of Archbishop Oscar Romero of San Salvador, Pope Francis formally recognised them, and five others, as saints of the Catholic Church. Thousands of pilgrims from the new saints’ home countries – Italy, El Salvador, Spain and Germany – were joined by tens of thousands of others in St Peter’s Square to celebrate the universal recognition of the holiness of men and women they already knew were saints. Carolina Escamilla, who traveled from San Salvador for canonization, said she was “super happy” to be in Rome. “I don’t think there are words to describe all that we feel after such a long-awaited and long-desired moment like the ‘official’ canonisation, because Archbishop Romero was already a saint when he was alive.” Each of the new saints lived lives marked by pain and criticism – including from within the Church – but all of them dedicated themselves with passionate love to following Jesus and caring for the weak and the poor, Pope Francis said in his homily. The new saints are: Paul VI, who led the last sessions of the Second Vatican Council and its initial implementation; Romero, who defended the poor, called for justice and was assassinated in 1980; Vincenzo Romano, an Italian priest who died in 1831; Nazaria Ignacia March Mesa, a Spanish nun who ministered in Mexico and Bolivia and died in 1943; Catherine Kasper, the 19th-century German founder of a religious order; Francesco Spinelli, a 19th-century priest [email protected] Page !2 October 15, 2018 and founder of a religious order; and Nunzio Sulprizio, a layman who died in Naples in 1836 at the age of 19.

The Board intends to revisit its remit and its relationship with the role of Director of Communications. RESTRUCTURING AND DEVELOPING COMMUNICATIONS In September 2002, the role of Press Officer was restructured and the Rev Brian Parker was appointed as Media Officer. The role of Media Officer was redefined with greater emphasis on liaison with diocesan communications structures and the Church of Ireland Gazette. The overall brief is to develop the all Ireland profile of Church of Ireland news gathering and dissemination. In December 2002 the Board was sad to say goodbye to its chairman of five years, the Most Rev Richard Clarke, Bishop of Meath and Kildare. Bishop Clarke had been responsible for overseeing the restructuring of the CCB, the appointment of a Director of Communications and the review of the role of Media Officer.

(Thesis for the M.A. Degree, 1992) ABSTRACT This is a critical enquiry into the widely held belief that the doctrines of pre-Tractarian High Church Anglicanism have exercised a specially tena• cious hold on the Church of Ireland. Chapter 1 surveys the tradition as developed in the 17th and 18th centuries, but also examines the peculiarity of a Church established by law in a land the majority of whose people adhered to other Christian bodies.

    http://ireland.anglican.org/news/4851 Consecrationof The Revd Pat Storey As Bishop Of Meath & Kildare Press Releases Added on 30/11/2013 The Service of Ordination and Consecration of the Revd Pat Storey as Bishop of Meath and Kildare took place at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin earlier today, Saturday, 30 November 2013, the Feast of St Andrew. The service – an historic event as the first woman bishop was consecrated in these islands – was led by the Archbishop of Dublin, The Most Revd Dr Michael Jackson and the preacher was the Revd Nigel Parker, Rector of the Parish of St Comgall, Bangor (pictured right along with Archbishop Richard Clarke, Bishop Pat Storey, Archbishop Michael Jackson and the Revd Earl Storey). The congregation brought together over 500 people drawn from across the Church of Ireland and wider Irish society, including The Most Revd Pat Storey’s father and brother, husband, daughter and son–in–law and many close friends and family members. The Old Testament reading was given by the Revd Earl Storey, Bishop Storey’s husband; the Epistle was led by Mrs Dierdre Amor, a vestry member from St Augustine’s Parish, Londonderry where the new bishop was Rector from 2004 to 2013, and the Gospel proclaimed by the Revd Trevor Holmes, a deacon. In his sermon, the Revd Nigel Parker focused on the theme ‘Consecrate yourself to the Lord’ based on John 21. 1–17, saying that the application of consecration is ‘showing our love for Him who first loved us; placing ourselves entirely at His disposal; and declaring, “Whatever it takes!”’ In commending Pat to all present he said: ‘It has been our privilege over the years to see you respond to our Father’s love with love, trust and obedience.
