  • The Reserved Sacrament – Some Thoughts (Written As a Memorial to Bishop John Mantle Formerly Bishop of Brechin)
    The Reserved Sacrament – some thoughts (Written as a memorial to Bishop John Mantle formerly bishop of brechin) 1. Introduction The history of the Reserved Sacrament is almost as old as Christendom. Gregory Dix made it clear in his book The Shape of the Liturgy that the principal reason for reservation was to symbolise the liturgical presidency of a bishop within his church. As the church grew and bishops were perforce required to warrant their presbyters with authority to consecrate the sacramental species, deacons carried portions of the Eucharistic bread (the fermentum) from the bishop’s celebration to be included with that of the presbyters.1 This action was undertaken as a token that they were in communion with their bishop and to demonstrate that the bishop remained the high-priest of the community and its principal, liturgical minister, whether he was present or not. This use was attested at least thirty years before reservation was employed in providing daily communion (by about AD120). Dix explained that it was also a common practice in the pre-Nicene church for the communicating faithful to take portions of the consecrated bread home with them so that they could make their communions on mornings when the liturgy was not celebrated.2 By the third century, deacons carried the sacrament to those who could not get to the Sunday service; this activity was later assumed by acolytes or assistants. Dix described the basic use of the reserved sacrament as being essential for the daily communion of the faithful, not necessarily for the communion of the sick.3 2.

  • Newsletter – Autumn 2006
    THE YORKSHIRE ASSOCIATION OF CHANGE RINGERS Established 1875 NEWSLETTER – AUTUMN 2006 Editorial Welcome to this first edition of the YACR Newsletter, which we hope will appear in every tower of the Association via Branch Secretaries. The Production Team – Bob Cater and Anne Deebank – hope you find something of interest in this first, bumper Edition. As this is the first edition we would also be interested in your views – have we got the content right? Have you any suggestions for articles? Are you reading this in a tower which isn’t your own and you haven’t got one at your home tower? Let us know! The next edition will come out in the Spring, immediately after the AGM on 5 May. Please let either of us have copy by 15 April 2007. Bob Cater [email protected] Anne Deebank [email protected] President’s Message I am writing this newsletter introduction after spending an enjoyable day listening to two excellent peals rung at two of West Yorkshire’s best light sixes. (Clue 1 – both towers begin with an S. Clue 2 – I could have walked from one tower to the other along the Leeds-Liverpool canal.) Whilst listening to the ringing I got to thinking about why people ring bells and why they might attend Association events at both branch and full association level. When I was younger I attended Association meetings to have the opportunity to ring on new and different bells (and to get a tick in Dove!) and also to ring new and different methods that I did not have the chance to ring on a normal practice night.

PREFACE. Of the numerous biographers of the poet Burns, few have dilated on his lineage. Some doubtless felt that his position might not be elevated by any pedigree, however famous. Others may have been content to hold that himself being in lowly circumstances, any inquiry as to his progenitors would be useless and unprofitable. By his biographer Dr Currie he is described as " in reality a peasant." What in respect of descent Burns really was these Memoirs will show. Bemotely sprung from a landed stock, his im- mediate ancestors were yeomen, at first opvdent, latterly the reverse. The family had produced another poet, the author of "Thrummy Cap;" but decided indications of intellectual activity did not appear in the house till subsequent to the marriage of the poet's paternal grandfather. The wife of this person was of the family of Keith of Craig, a branch of the house of Keith-Marischal.

The server who carries the Cross (“crucis”) in Church processions is called the “Crucifer”. Often the Crucifer is specially clothed in a decorated garment with sleeves called a “tunicle”. Why? I suppose, with the Cross carried at the head of the procession, it adds some colour, but I think there’s more to it than that. There’s something special about carrying the Cross. We vest the Crucifer with his own special garment to emphasise that particular idea. But the original Crucifer was not such a pretty sight. And I don’t mean the Emperor. Our Lord was Himself the original Crucifer In the Beginning… – the One who carried the Cross to Calvary.
