There the Rev. Carol Reese, a recently ordained priest appointed to serve as chaplain of Stroger’s trauma department, praised the marchers’ grassroots campaign to change laws and a culture of violence. CROSSwalk asked marchers to make three commitments: to lobby the state legislature for stricter gun laws on April 10, to join a citywide volunteer day on May 12, and to pro- vide summer jobs for young people. “Show up,” Chaplain Reese said. “Show that their lives matter.” The Rt. Rev. Jeffrey D. Lee said the idea of remembering all young victims of violence in Chicago came to him on All Saints Day 2011. Just as he was about to begin reciting the names of recently departed Episco- palians, he had asked for a moment of silence for victims of murder. Bishop Lee credits Jack Clark, director of CROSSwalk and a pos- tulant for ordination, with bringing 60 other denominations and civic groups together. “I think what an organization like CROSSwalk brings to the movement against gun violence is a group of The Saint James Conference 2013 people who up to this point heard with sadness of young people dying, June 14, 15, 16, 2013 but didn’t understand it was our Saint James School z Hagerstown, MD responsibility,” said the Rev.

  • This Chapter Will Demonstrate How Anglo-Catholicism Sought to Deploy
    Building community: Anglo-Catholicism and social action Jeremy Morris Some years ago the Guardian reporter Stuart Jeffries spent a day with a Salvation Army couple on the Meadows estate in Nottingham. When he asked them why they had gone there, he got what to him was obviously a baffling reply: “It's called incarnational living. It's from John chapter 1. You know that bit about 'Jesus came among us.' It's all about living in the community rather than descending on it to preach.”1 It is telling that the phrase ‘incarnational living’ had to be explained, but there is all the same something a little disconcerting in hearing from the mouth of a Salvation Army officer an argument that you would normally expect to hear from the Catholic wing of Anglicanism. William Booth would surely have been a little disconcerted by that rider ‘rather than descending on it to preach’, because the early history and missiology of the Salvation Army, in its marching into working class areas and its street preaching, was precisely about cultural invasion, expressed in language of challenge, purification, conversion, and ‘saving souls’, and not characteristically in the language of incarnationalism. Yet it goes to show that the Army has not been immune to the broader history of Christian theology in this country, and that it too has been influenced by that current of ideas which first emerged clearly in the middle of the nineteenth century, and which has come to be called the Anglican tradition of social witness. My aim in this essay is to say something of the origins of this movement, and of its continuing relevance today, by offering a historical re-description of its origins, 1 attending particularly to some of its earliest and most influential advocates, including the theologians F.D.

  • Journal 29-30 Pp1-156.Qxd
    Article Title 131 Poverty, Socialism and Social Catholicism The Heart and Soul of Henry Manning Race Mathews In the early years of the twentieth century, the social teachings of the Catholic Church gave rise to a distinctive political philosophy that became known as Distributism. The basis of Distributism is the belief that a just social order can only be achieved through a much more widespread distribution of property. Distributism favours a ‘society of owners’, where property belongs to the many rather than the few, and correspondingly opposes the concentration of property in the hands of the rich, as under capitalism, or the state, as advocated by some socialists. In particular, ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange must be widespread. As defined by the prominent early Distributist, Cecil Chesterton: A Distributist is a man who desires that the means of production should, generally speaking, remain private property, but that their ownership should be so distributed that the determining mass of families — ideally every family — should have an efficient share therein. That is Distributism, and nothing else is Distributism ... ARENA journal no. 29/30, 2008 132 Race Mathews Distributism is quite as possible in an industrial or commercial as in an agrarian community.1 Distributism emerged as one element of the widespread revulsion and agony of conscience over poverty in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain. Its distinctive Catholic character stemmed from half a century of Catholic social thought, as drawn together by Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical letter Rerum Novarum in 1891, in part at the instigation of the great English Cardinal, Henry Manning.

When Anglicans found themselves to be outside the bounds of the English establisliment, they were forced to make a response to their new social, political and religious environment. They did this by founding Churches upon the basis of voluntary compacts and organising them under constitutional synods.

    i Abstract “PERCY DEARMER REVISITED: DISCERNING AUTHENTICALLY ANGLICAN LITURGY IN A MULTICULTURAL, ECUMENCIAL, 21ST CENTURGY CONTEXT” JARED C. CRAMER Project under the direction of Professors James F. Turrell and Benjamin J. King As the worship of The Episcopal Church stands on the cusp of a new period of renewal and innovation, important questions must be explored about what constitutes Anglican liturgy in today’s multicultural and ecumenical context. No longer will simply doing what we have always done (or coming up with new exciting ideas) suffice to enrich the people of God. The time is instead ripe for a reclamation of the work and ideals of Percy Dearmer, noted liturgical scholar from the late nineteenth and early twentieth-century. Though his work is often dismissed as “British Museum Religion,” the truth is that his “English Use” approach to liturgy contributed significantly to the growing Liturgical Movement in the Church of England. Further, the ideals of his work—often misunderstood—stand the test of time and offer a word of encouragement and, at times, correction, to the liturgical tendencies of our own time. Authentically Anglican liturgy is still a goal worth pursuing—it just likely is a much more difficult one that the setting up of riddle posts and the wearing of amices. By getting to the heart of Dearmer’s work, and identifying the ten ideals he used over and over again for Anglican liturgy, we will find our own approaches to worship enlivened and invited into greater truth, faithfulness, and beauty.

JONES* ABSTRACT.Henry George, the Americansocial reformerand Single Tax advo- cate, had a decisive impact on native British socialism considered apart from the Marxist and revolutionary types imported from the continent. Karl Marx and Frederick Engels were hostile critics but the typically English Fabian Society was influenced by George's seminal ideas. The Fabianswere especially attracted to two notions: the conception that George gave to the thought of his time, that poverty was an evil preventable by political intervention-by State action; and that the disparity in incomes could be explained by the theory of unearned increment.
