  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS JOHN PAUL II TO PILGRIMS FROM THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND FROM THE DIOCESE OF YORK Thursday, 22 April 1993 Dear Friends in Christ, It gives me great pleasure to welcome you here today, pilgrims to Rome from the Church of England and from the Diocese of York. In particular I greet the Archdeacon of York, the Venerable George Austin, and through him I wish to convey my good wishes to your Archbishop and to all the clergy and laity of your Diocese. In May 1982 it was my joy to visit York during the course of my pastoral visit to the Catholic Church in Great Britain. That visit had special significance in our common quest for the fulness of unity among Christ’s followers. Although the path to unity is beset by trials and by serious obstacles, we must continue to rely on the grace of the Holy Spirit, who will in his own time bring about the fulfilment of the prayer of Christ himself: "May they all be one" (Jn. 17: 21). More recently, at the Day of Prayer for Peace in Europe and especially in the Balkan region, which was convened at Assisi in January of this year, the Archbishop of York represented the Church of England. His presence was deeply appreciated. In the face of the terrible violence and injustice that confronts us in the world today, it is vital that Christians should bear united witness to the Prince of Peace, who alone can free us from the sin and disorder which lie at the root of the evil in the world.

  • Facing the Challenge of Liheralism.1
    Facing the Challenge of 1 2 Liheralism. ' DONALD ALLISTER Setting the scene We live in difficult and dangerous times for the Church of England. This church-raised up and so often preserved by God's hand; doctrinally, liturgically and historically a beacon to the nation and beyond; confession­ ally faithful to his sufficient and unerring word-is now facing its most difficult problems, its greatest dangers, since it began. The problems and dangers come in different ways and from different directions. The Church of England, and all that it stands for, is under attack doctri­ nally from those who (deliberately or not) seek to undermine God's unchanging truth. It is under attack morally from those who (knowingly or not) choose to set their own standards or follow those of the world. It is under attack constitutionally from those who (for whatever reasons) want to break its links with the state and thus its influence over the nation; and from those who (often with good motives) aim to increase the power of the bishops, synods and bureaucratic structures at the expense of the parishes and the people. These attacks on our church can be blatant or subtle. They come from those who intend to cause damage, and from those who want the church's good. Historically the greatest dangers to the church have always come from within: heresy, unbelief and moral degeneracy among God's people are far greater problems than pressure or persecution from outside. This is equally true today: the enemy is within. What is more, because we are all sinners and very prone to err, we have to count ourselves, as much as anyone else, as potentially the enemy of God's church.

    David Starkey Historian and Broadcaster Media Masters – December 19, 2019 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today I'm joined by the historian, author and broadcaster, Professor David Starkey, known for his acerbic political views, he's a longstanding member of the Conservative Party and appears frequently on television and radio on shows such as Question Time and Politics Life. David has also written and presented a number of documentaries for the BBC, Channel 4, and CBS on the monarchy, particularly in relation to the Tudor period. He was awarded a CBE in the 2007 Birthday Honours for services to history. David, thank you for joining me. Thank you. Do you like being described as acerbic? Well, it's a sort of Latin version of the rudest man in Britain, isn't it? Yes. Which is the famous label that was pinned upon me by the Daily Mail. Do you realise you are actually quoting the Daily Mail? Oh no. The badge of shame. Indeed. It followed... it was, I suppose the first moment at which I became that dreadful phrase, a household name. It was The Moral Maze. It was in the later 1990s, it was... no, the early 1990s, it was the moment at which Prince Charles' relations with Camilla Parker Bowles first became really public knowledge, and there was this extraordinary figure, George Austin, who was the Archdeacon of York, now everybody thought he was the Archbishop of York.
