Sometime in the first five years after those Africans were traded to the colony for food by an English pirate who had captured them on the high seas, the infant son of two of the original “20 and odd Negroes” was baptized in an Anglican church in the area, according to the colony’s 1624 census records. Those records say the son of “Antoney Negro and Isabell Negro” was baptized with the name of his family’s owner, William Tucker. It was the first 13 documented baptism of an African baby in English North America.

  • A Prayer on the Anniversary of the First Moon Landing
    The Church of England is marking the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing with the publication of a special prayer, as events take place around the world to celebrate the event. The prayer, which is being shared on social media, speaks of man’s drive to “explore the mysteries of creation” and the need to cherish our world. Churches and cathedrals across England are marking the anniversary with special events. At Lichfield Cathedral, One Small Step, a 36 metre artwork replica of the lunar surface opens on Saturday morning – the anniversary of the landing - giving visitors the chance to ‘walk on the moon’ until the end of September. Also on Saturday, Birmingham Cathedral is hosting two showings of ‘Interstellar’, an immersive sound and light show celebrating the moon landing. The Bishop of Kingston, Richard Cheetham, who is a Co-Director of Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science, a project to promote greater understanding between science and faith, encouraged churches to use the anniversary of the moon landing as an opportunity for prayer and reflection. “After decades of space travel, including the iconic moon landing 50 years ago, we are more aware than ever of the vastness and complexity of the cosmos,” he said. “Living, as we do, in a scientific age it is vital that our understanding and practice of Christian faith celebrates and engages deeply with the huge potential which science brings to our understanding of the universe, and ensures it is used wisely. “The Equipping Christian leadership in an Age of Science project has sought to help the church to do that in many ways.

St. Swithin’s Day, (July 15), a day on which, according to folklore, the weather for a subsequent period is dictated. In popular belief, if it rains on St. Swithin’s Day, it will rain for 40 days, but if it is fair, 40 days of fair weather will follow. St. Swithin was Bishop of Winchester from 852 to 862. At his request he was buried in the churchyard, where rain and the steps of passers by might fall on his grave. According to legend, after his body was moved inside the cathedral on July 15, 971, a great storm ensued. The first textual evidence for the weather prophecy appears to have come from a 13th- or 14th-century entry in a manuscript at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. You can find lots more history about him, but he is perhaps one of the more commonly heard of saints, even if its only the legend about the weather.

  • INTRODUCTION It Is Possible to Wonder What More There Is to Say
    INTRODUCTION It is possible to wonder what more there is to say about whether the Church of England should have women bishops. The Church of England has already been blessed by a series of substantial reports – notably the Rochester Report in 2004, and the series of documents that went to General Synod in 2006 from the Guildford Group, the Bishops of Guildford and Gloucester, and the Faith & Order Advisory Group. This Report, nevertheless, breaks new ground and is of a different character from what has gone before. The task that the General Synod gave us in July 2006 was to prepare possible legislation, consistent with the Synod’s view that the time had come to explore in some detail what the practical implications would be of admitting women to the episcopate. This report, therefore, seeks to move the debate on from the ‘whether’ to the ‘how’. In so doing it sets out some key options, with illustrative legal material. Our hope is that this Report will now enable Synod members to make an informed choice as to how to proceed. While the Report essentially focuses on practicalities, the Group has throughout been engaged on the theological and ecclesiological implications of different ways of proceeding. Within the Group, as within the Synod, there has been a wide range of views and we have not seen it as our task to strain for consensus. We have, however, engaged with one another with great courtesy, united in a shared commitment to a common task, and been nurtured by much prayer and fellowship together.
