  • The Report of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission
    THE REPORT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY’S COMMISSION ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS TO THE WIDER CHURCH OF ENGLAND 30 September 2019 Letter from the Chair of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Commission on the relationship of the Channel Islands to the wider Church of England, the Right Revd & Rt Hon the Lord Chartres, GCVO PC Dear Archbishop, At the beginning of the work of the Commission you insisted that we should not seek to pass judgement on the unhappy sequence of events which precipitated the breakdown of relations between the Diocese of Winchester and the Deaneries of Guernsey and Jersey. Rather we were to focus on the possibility and shape of a future relationship conducive to the mutual flourishing of the Church in the Islands and the wider Church of England. We were charged to consult with the ecclesiastical and secular authorities in the Islands, with the Bishop of Winchester, his staff and other interested parties. This we have endeavoured to do. In the Report which follows we have proposed a way forward which, I believe, honours the polity of the Church of England and in particular the enhanced level of accountability of its bishops in the light of recent legislation but which also recognises and respects the traditions, both legal and ecclesiastical, which obtain in the Channel Islands. Our recommendations for action are attached. I have been very fortunate to be joined in this Commission by Baroness Judith Wilcox and Sir Christopher Clarke. After a distinguished business and political career, Baroness Wilcox has been able to offer a shrewd analysis of the context for our work while Sir Christopher Clarke with his extensive experience as a former Judge of the Courts of Appeal in Guernsey and Jersey, and Lord Justice of Appeal, has contributed an invaluable legal perspective.

If so, WHY? Everything was now in place and the process of arriving at a final design for the new church was well underway from 1956 with the first stone being laid at the very end of 1958 and this will soon be described. Maguire and Murray were now on the map of architectural practice and there was growing interest in what they were up to. Bob Maguire describes an early exercise in ‘going back to basics’: 26 ‘In 1958, Keith Murray and I put on a sort of double-act audio-visual show at a Theological Conference at Swanwick using almost entirely every day, secular images to sketch out, as it were by tangential lines, the idea of set-apart space as a deep need of the human psyche.

St. Paul‘s Cathedral is not only the Cathedral church of the London diocese, but it can also be called the Nation‘s Cathedral. Dominating the London skyline for hundreds of years, St. Paul‘s has been the scene of many important events. From its earliest days as the home of the Shrine of St. Erkenwald, people have been attracted to the site on Ludgate Hill to worship God, and to see the spectacle of the building itself. Destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666, St. Paul‘s was rebuilt according to the radical plans of Sir Christopher Wren, and stands today as a symbol of faith and an object of beauty in the City of London. This booklet aims to cover both the history and symbolism of the various parts of the Cathedral, as well as some of the objects which can be seen during an act of worship. It attempts to explain how these features relate to the Christian faith as practised in St. Paul‘s, but could also be used to explain key features common to all Cathedrals and many churches.
