May 2010.Pub Welcome to the May issue of St. Margaret’s Magazine STOP PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT Gary Allan, the interim Chairman of the Vestry, was pleased to make the announcement of the details of our new Rector at the start of the Eucharist on April 18th. See page 4 for more information. Sunday 2nd May is the next All-Age Service at 10.30am Ascension Day Service Thursday 13 May 7.30pm at St Ninian's See P. 5 N.B.

We have waited patiently for the coming of our new Rector and I hope that in the waiting you have been strengthened by all the processes necessary to support a vacancy. A vacancy forces a congregation to go the extra mile in supporting those processes and I think you have all been strengthened by having to make that extra effort. Many more people have been engaged in the day-to- day life of our church or, at least, been given an insight into the complexities of its workings, and that is no bad thing. That being said, what a joyous way to have started our recent Easter Sunday celebrations by having the Chair of the Vestry, Gary Allan, confirm the appointment. You will, I hope, forgive my (to some) clichéd indulgence in linking the news with all that Easter represents in terms of new “growth” and new beginnings – a true Easter gift indeed! Waiting seems to be a difficult concept for society. We are the children of the Age of the Instant – instant gratification bolstered by instant electronic communication: no matter the circumstances and no matter the effect on others. As long as I get what I want now then I’ll be happy. Of course, wise older heads know differently. Such a driven nature comes at a price. This is hardly a modern insight. The technology may be instant but the human desire for having things instantly is as old as the hills. The mere fact that the psalmist had to remind his readers that the gift of waiting, as a virtue to be sought, was worthwhile, points to a universal truth about human nature. Sometimes people demand of their God that He be a God of Instant Response – “Now listen God, I want you to do so-and-so or perform this miracle for me, and I want you to do it now!” 2 If there is no instant response (and that tends to be what happens, at least in my experience) the person is apt to write off God and give up the spiritual journey. I say to the contrary that it has been good for us to have waited and to do some more waiting until our new Rector is amongst us. It is in the waiting and in the “waiting patiently for the Lord”, that true growth comes and not just in springtime. I am a great aficionado of poetry, particularly modern poetry. Cyril Lloyd wrote his “Spring Sonnet” in the style of a Shakespearean sonnet and here are four stanzas from it as it expresses most exquisitely the fruits to be gained by waiting upon the Lord – and not just for a new Rector! In full accord but by more wondrous means the Holy Spirit quickens all that lives and like Spring’s sun on many-shaded greens new Life to people’s varied natures gives… Yours in Christ Paul Appreciation of Rev. Paul Romano Many members of the congregation wish to be associated with saying a special ‘thank you’ to Paul for his untiring work for us at St. Margaret’s during this interregnum. He has challenged us in many ways to consider our response to the message of Lent and Easter, addressing our inmost motives and commitment to the service of Jesus Christ. He sets us an example to follow in our involvement with the lives of those with whom we come in contact on a daily basis, knowing, as we do, the nature of his ‘day job’. He has shown us great commitment, for which we thank him, and we pray for his continuing ministry in the weeks ahead. Dr. Taylor has become well-known to us also, as he has shared in the ministry here as well as his work at St Aidan’s, and we extend thanks to him for his spiritual direction and his friendship. 3 OUR NEW RECTOR: The Reverend Dr Scott Robertson, B.D., M.A., Ph.D. The announcement of the appointment of our new Rector on Sunday 18 April 2010 was a source of great joy and satisfaction. Dr Robertson is forty six years old and is married to Alison, a general medical practitioner practising in Ayrshire. They have two sons Stephen (16) and Craig (13). Dr Robertson has been a priest in the Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway for almost twenty years and has been the Rector of the North Ayrshire Team (St Andrew’s Ardrossan, St Andrew’s Irvine and St Peter’s Dalry) for the last thirteen years. He was previously the Priest-in-Charge at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Hillington where he also served his curacy. Dr Robertson is a productive writer on theological and literary matters and his list of publications is very impressive. He obtained his Divinity degree from the University of Edinburgh, his Arts degree (in English Literature) from the Open University, and his Doctorate from the University of Glasgow where his special interest was Literature , Theology and the Arts, an area of study and reflection which has occupied and interested him for many years . As the Diocesan Director of Ordinands, Dr Robertson has been given special responsibility within the Diocese for the guidance of potential ordained clergy through a careful process of spiritual and vocational discernment. He is a member of a number of diocesan committees and working groups the most recent of which was involved in the appointment of the new bishop. He is an honorary lecturer at the University of Glasgow. He is a member of the Scottish Religious Advisory Committee for BBC Scotland and indeed is a regular contributor to BBC Radio Scotland’s religious output. Dr Robertson is also a musician and as well as being a player he occasionally also composes music. 4 In case the congregation may think him being obsessed by intellectual study and not mindful of daily parish work, he has confirmed that he sees worship as central and community groups and house groups as very important in giving depth and reinforcement to our church communities . Apart from his great learning he sees pastoral care demanding the greatest possible attention. What causes him with his son Stephen to be a Liverpool FC supporter is quite inexplicable to the writer! Dr Robertson’s institution as our new Rector will take place on Saturday 3 July 2010 at 1130hrs at St Margaret’s, which promises to be a day of great happiness and celebration. The Vestry is presently engaged in drawing up a programme for the day, based around the central canon law requirements and will provide details as soon as possible. The Vestry was unanimous in its view that Dr Robertson was the right person for the demanding role of Rector of St Margaret’s and commends him to all of you. We are sure that you will make Dr Robertson and his family very welcome amongst us. GJGA 18 April 2010 Ascension Day Service Thursday 13 May 7.30pm at St Ninian's Pollokshields All welcome. This is a joint service for all the Southside Region Episcopal churches. 5 HOME NOTES Thanks to all who made our Easter worship so relevant and meaningful this year: for the preparation and leading of worship – in the Lenten Eucharists and all the services celebrated, including the joy of Easter Sunday, we thank the clergy, particularly the Rev Paul Romano, Reverend Canon Dr Nicholas Taylor, our Interim Priest, and Jenny Whelan for the music – thanks to Michael and the choir for all the extra practices they had and the extra services in which they led the worship with such spirit; for the decoration of the church – to Olivia and her flower team for the time they dedicate to arranging flowers and keeping them in prime condition with daily watering, etc; for the preparation of all the flowers that are ready on Easter Sunday to adorn our Easter Cross; to all those members and friends who donated money for lilies and for the general flower fund; (the list of those who have been remembered in this way is in this issue, and also displayed on the notice-board) a reminder: Lent boxes should now be returned to church Necklace Chain If anyone has lost a necklace chain, please contact the Office.

Grants of £30,000 have been paid to priests in the Scottish Episcopal Church who are facing financial hardship. The funds have been provided by the Clergy Support Trust, a centuries-old charity which helps destitute Anglican clergy....three of the most vulnerable clergy who asked for help were said to have long-term disabilities and ‘caring situations within the household’.

  • Literature Review
    Badertscher, The Measure of a Bishop Literature Review The more I have researched the “Continuing Church,” the more I have realized that this thesis is charting largely unmarked territory. First-hand information on the movement is available in relatively great abundance from the various denominations themselves, but is often of uneven quality, and truly scholarly material is rare. In some cases, churches have put all their pamphlets, brochures, etc., onto their World Wide Web sites, but have not provided references such as author’s name and date of publication. Sadly, too, the electronic nature of the “Web” means that data found there is ephemeral; what is here today may be gone tomorrow, without a clue as to where to trace it. The relative emphasis given herein to certain denominations, such as the Anglican Orthodox Church, is due not merely to their importance to traditionalist Anglicanism, but because their diocesan offices have cooperated fully with my research. Newsletters, books from their denominational presses, brochures—all these they provided promptly and cheerfully. Some of the other traditionalist groups, however, never responded to my correspondence, even after a second attempt. It is unclear whether this was because they feared editorial bias, or simply that they lack regular secretarial assistance. Another major primary source is the pages of The Christian Challenge, a monthly periodical published since 1962 and devoted to chronicling Anglicanism around the world. Although it covers news both inside and outside the official Anglican Communion, the magazine’s editorial stance is very sympathetic to the traditionalists (a former editor, the late Louis E.

This is a family of over 70 million Christians in more than 160 countries. Our nearest relations are the Church of England, the Church in Wales and the Church of Ireland. Through the Porvoo agreement we are also in full communion with many other branches of the Church. St Columba’s in Largs, is one of over 60 Episcopal congregations that work and worship within the Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway. We are part of Ayrshire Region and our neighbours include congregations in Ardrossan, Dalry, Irvine, Troon, Kilmarnock, Prestwick, Ayr and Maybole. The area covered by St Columba’s includes Largs, Skelmorlie, Fairlie and West Kilbride and ecumenically we play a very active part in Largs Churches Together. SERVICES AT ST COLUMBA’S The church building has reopened for public worship with restrictions in place and will continue to remain open for a Sunday service unless the government and Church request a cessation of services again. For the time being only one service will be offered each week as follows: Sunday Eucharist 11.00am This service will be complimented by a broadcast of the gospel of the day and sermon on our YouTube channel.

  • Chapter 6 the Irony of the Anglican Position Toward the Vagantes
    Badertscher, The Measure of a Bishop Chapter 6 The Irony of the Anglican Position toward the Vagantes The mainstream Anglican position toward the vagantes (and thus, to the Continuing Church) is ironic for three reasons. First of all, as we saw in the previous chapter, the English Reformers rejected the Roman concept of the “apostolic succession,” or “Historic Episcopate.” in the very early years of the Reformation. Secondly, the centuries have seen a vast improvement in official Anglican Communion relations with “schismatic” groups such as the Non-Jurors and the Methodists. And thirdly, the High Churchmen’s own claims to the “apostolic succession” are clouded in the eyes of Rome. Looking first at the Reformers’ doctrines of episcopacy, one must always remember that the crucial emphasis for men such as Cranmer and Latimer was the reliance on Scripture as the supreme authority for faith and practice. Tradition and reason may inform the Anglican's use of Scripture, but the Scripture itself is always the basis of faith.1 The English Reformers defended episcopacy as a legitimate form of church government, as even perhaps the best, but by no means did they consider it part of the Church’s very essence. Any sacerdotal concept of bishops, as needing to be in the tactual succession from the apostles, was repulsive to them. On the apostolic succession, the Reformer Bishop John Hooper wrote in 1550 that: As concerning the ministers of the Church, I believe that the Church is bound to no sort of people or any ordinary succession of bishops, but to the only Word of God.

It describes the coming of William, the return of the Scottish exiles with him, and the gathering of the Scottish notables in London in the winter of 1688/9.

    ‘TRUE DIRECTION’ ASPECTS OF AESTHETICISM IN NEW ZEALAND (1880-1913) LAURA ELIZABETH CAMPBELL A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art History VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF WELLINGTON 2016 CONTENTS Contents ii Abstract iii Acknowledgements iv INTRODUCTION 1 1 THE ORIGINS OF AESTHETICISM: AN INTERNATIONAL 13 MOVEMENT 2 THE ‘LOST’ THOUGHTS OF AN ANTIPODEAN BUTTERFLY. 44 J. M. NAIRN’S ‘DECORATIVE ART’ LECTURE OF 1890 3 SEARCH FOR BEAUTY ‘SOUTH OF THE LINE’: THE 81 ARTIST’S STUDIO AND THE ANTIPODEAN WOMAN CONCLUSION 103 List of Plates 108 Plates 110 Bibliography 142 Appendix J. M. Nairn’s ‘Decorative Art’ in Otago Witness (1890) 161 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines aspects of Aestheticism in New Zealand. Despite the paucity of literature written on Aestheticism in colonial contexts, there is evidence that Aesthetic tendencies flourished in the art and literature of the ‘South Seas’. Aestheticism in Australia and New Zealand has been categorised as ‘insignificant’ within national art histories, overlooking the complex ways whereby aspects of Aestheticism arrived in the antipodes through international exhibitions, touring theatre productions, academically trained artists from Europe, and dispersal through literature. It is a moment in our national art history that should be recognised. My research is the first comprehensive study of Aestheticism and its impact on applied art and the general lifestyles of artists and patrons in New Zealand. With particular focus on James McLauchlan Nairn and Charles Frederick Goldie, this study revises the status of two New Zealand artists who have been viewed as representative of opposing artistic camps—Nairn, a bohemian promoting Impressionist and open air landscape practice, and Goldie, a painter of the ‘Old World’ tradition of academic instruction.
