The Parish Church of St. Wilfrid, Bognor Feast of Dedication 7:00pm Friday 23rd April, 2010 1 St. Wilfrid’s Church was dedicated on 23rd April 1910 and built as a daughter church to St. John’s church, London Road to meet the growing needs in the west of the town. The original design by the architect George Fellowes Prynne (see below) were for a much larger 900 seat church, but three of the five bays, the bell tower and baptistery were sadly never completed. St. Wilfrid’s became the Parish Church on 25th of May 1971, when St. John's Church was closed and subsequently demolished in 1972. We give thanks to God for his blessings over the last 100 years and pray for grace to continue this ministry to the people of Bognor Regis. 2 Feast of Dedication Celebrant & Preacher The Bishop of Chichester, the Right Reverend John Hind Clergy: The Revd. Andrew Wadsworth, Parish Priest Revd. Raymond Whelan Revd. Mark Everitt Director of Music: James Kirkpatrick Organist: Rex Latter Centenary Prayer Heavenly Father, pour down your spirit on St Wilfrid’s Church in our Centenary Year. Grant us a new vision of your glory, a new experience of your power, a new faithfulness to your Word and a new consecration to your service, that through our renewed Witness your Holy name may be glorified and your kingdom advanced through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 3 Choir Introits Gloria in Excelsis - Shaw O taste and see how gracious the Lord is - Vaughan Williams Hymn (Processional) Hail thee, Festival Day! Salve Festa Dies; R. Vaughan Williams Hail thee, Festival Day! Blest day that art hallowed for ever; Day when the Church, Christ’s bride, is to her bridegroom espoused. This is the house of God, a place of peace and refreshing; Solomon here to the poor offers a treasure untold. Scion of David is he who has called us to share in his glory; here in his Father's house God we shall find him and man. Here, at his holy font, does the heav’nly King and the righteous grace for their cleansing and growth grant to his people on earth. Tower of David is this; here are pledges of life and salvation, if with unwavering feet swift to this stronghold we run. Here is the ark of God, a refuge of grace to the faithful; safe to the haven it bears mariners tossed by the waves. Ladder of Jacob, by none but by thee we can mount to the heavens; grant that thy people, O Lord, thither ascending may reign. The Bishop: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. and also with you. The Bishop introduces the liturgy 4 The Collect for Purity Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known and from whom no secrets are hidden: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen The Bishop invites all to confess our sins: Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, firmly resolved to keep God’s commandments and to live in love and peace with all. Almighty God, our heavenly Father, we have sinned against you and against our neighbour in thought and word and deed, through negligence, through weakness, through our own deliberate fault. We are truly sorry and repent of all our sins. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who died for us, forgive us all that is past and grant that we may serve you in newness of life to the glory of your name. Amen The Bishop: Almighty God, who forgives all who truly repent, have mercy upon us, pardon and deliver us from all our sins, confirm and strengthen us in all goodness, and keep us in life eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen The Kyries Lord have mercy; Lord have mercy; Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy; Christ have mercy; Christ have mercy Lord have mercy; Lord have mercy; Lord have mercy Gloria Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King, 5 Almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen Collect The Bishop: Almighty God, to whose glory we celebrate the dedication of this house of prayer: we praise you for the many blessings you have given to those who worship you here: and we pray that all who seek you in this place may find you, and, being filled with the Holy Spirit, may become a living temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen All sit: Reader: A reading from the First Book of the Chronicles (1 Chronicles 29.6-19) Then the leaders of ancestral houses made their freewill-offerings, as did also the leaders of the tribes, the commanders of the thousands and of the hundreds, and the officers over the king's work. They gave for the service of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darks of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, into the care of Jehiel the Gershonite. Then the people rejoiced because these 6 had given willingly, for with single mind they had offered freely to the LORD; King David also rejoiced greatly. Then David blessed the LORD in the presence of all the assembly; David said: 'Blessed are you, O LORD, the God of our ancestor Israel, for ever and ever. " Yours, O LORD, are the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and on the earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all. Riches and honour come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might; and it is in your hand to make great and to give strength to all. And now, our God, we give thanks to you and praise your glorious name. 'But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to make this freewill-offering? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you. For we are aliens and transients before you, as were all our ancestors; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope. O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a house for your holy name comes from your hand and is all your own. I know, my God, that you search the heart, and take pleasure in uprightness; in the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen your people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to you. O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our ancestors, keep for ever such purposes and thoughts in the hearts of your people, and direct their hearts towards you. Grant to my son Solomon that with single mind he may keep your commandments, your decrees, and your statutes, performing all of them, and that he may build the temple for which I have made provision.' This is the word of the Lord Thanks be to God Psalm 122 (verses from) Responsorial Congregation Response “I rejoiced when I heard them say,” Let us go to God’s house” 7 I rejoiced when I heard them say: ‘Let us go to God’s house.’ And now our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem. Response Jerusalem is built as a city Strongly compact. It is there that the tribes go up, The tribes of the Lord. Response For Israel’s law it is, There to praise the Lord’s name. There were set the thrones of judgement of the house of David Response Reader: A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Ephesians (Ephesians 2,19-22) So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with I the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling-place for God. This is the word of the Lord Thanks be to God All stand Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! I have chosen and sanctified this house, says the Lord, That my name may remain in it for all time. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

  • Everard Bishop of Norwich L. Landon

    186 EVERARD, BISHOP OF NORWICH. EVERARD BISHOP OF NORWICH. By L. LANDON. Owing to the identity of the name and to the fact that he had been one of the royal chaplains bishop Everard for a long time was affirmed to be Everard the son of Roger de Montgomery, Everard fitz count as he was usually called, till in 1872 a writer in Notes and, Queries adduced arguments which showed this identification to be untenable.' It is not necessary to repeat the arguments here. Since then no attempt has been made to find out who he was. Although there is nothing in the shape of definite proof there are some slight indications which suggest that he may have been Everard de CaIna, who also probably was one of Henry I's chaplains. Bartholomew Cotton' appears to be the only one of the chroniclers to record that bishop Everard at some time in his life had been archdeacon of Salis- bury. It is not easy to find information about arch- deacons at this early,date but it happens that William of Malmesbury3relates a story of a miraculous cure by S. Aldhem performed upon Everard, one of bishop Osmund's archdeacons. To be an archdeacon Everard would be at least 2.5years old and bishop Osmund died in 1099. From these two factors we get the year 1074 for the latest date of his birth, it was probably a year or two earlier. Calne being in the diocese of Salisbury there is nothing improbable in a member of a family taking its name from that place, if destined for the church, being appointed to an archdeaconry of that diocese.

    Lancelot Andrewes' Doctrine of the Incarnation

    Lancelot Andrewes’ Doctrine of the Incarnation Respectfully Submitted to the Faculty of Nashotah House In Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Master of Theological Studies Davidson R. Morse Nashotah House May 2003 1 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the whole faculty of Nashotah House Seminary for the care and encouragement I received while researching and writing this thesis. Greatest thanks, however, goes to the Rev. Dr. Charles Henery, who directed and edited the work. His encyclopedic knowledge of the theology and literature of the Anglican tradition are both formidable and inspirational. I count him not only a mentor, but also a friend. Thanks also goes to the Rev. Dr. Tom Holtzen for his guidance in my research on the Christological controversies and points of Patristic theology. Finally, I could not have written the thesis without the love and support of my wife. Not only did she manage the house and children alone, but also she graciously encouraged me to pursue and complete the thesis. I dedicate it to her. Rev. Davidson R. Morse Easter Term, 2003 2 O Lord and Father, our King and God, by whose grace the Church was enriched by the great learning and eloquent preaching of thy servant Lancelot Andrewes, but even more by his example of biblical and liturgical prayer: Conform our lives, like his, we beseech thee, to the image of Christ, that our hearts may love thee, our minds serve thee, and our lips proclaim the greatness of thy mercy; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
  • Diocese of Chichester Opening Statement

    Diocese of Chichester Opening Statement

    THE DIOCESE OF CHICHESTER OPENING STATEMENT BY COUNSEL TO THE INQUIRY OPENING REMARKS 1. Good Morning, Chair and Panel. I am Ms. Fiona Scolding, lead counsel to the Anglican investigation . Next to me sits Ms. Nikita McNeill and Ms. Lara McCaffrey , junior counsel to the Anglican investigation. Today we begin the first substantive hearing into the institutional response of the Anglican Church to allegations of child sexual abuse. The Anglican investigation is just one of thirteen so far launched by the statutory Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse established by the Home Secretary in March 2015, offering an unprecedented opportunity to examine the extent to which institutions and organisations in England and Wales have been able to respond appropriately to allegations of abuse. 2. This hearing focuses upon the response of the Diocese of Chichester to allegations made to it about various individuals – both clergy and volunteers over the past thirty years. Some of the abuse you will hear about occurred during the 1950’s and 1960’s: some of it is much more recent in origin. A series of allegations came to light from the late 1990’s onwards and then engulfed the Diocese of Chichester in the first decade of the 21 st century. The role of the hearing is to examine what happened and what that shows about the ability of the Anglican Church to protect children in the past. It is also to ask 1 about its ability to learn lessons and implement change as a result of learning from the mistakes which it has acknowledged that it has made.

But the volume could never have been completed without the great help given to me on many occassions by Prebendary Bennett.

  • 1066-1272 Eastern Sussex Under the Norman and Angevin Kings of England

    1066-1272 Eastern Sussex Under the Norman and Angevin Kings of England

    1066-1272 Eastern Sussex under the Norman and Angevin kings of England From the Battle of Hastings through the accession of William II until the death of Henry II Introduction In this paper the relationships of the post-Conquest kings of England to Battle and eastern Sussex between 1087 and 1272 are explored. The area ‘eastern Sussex’ corresponds to that described as ‘1066 Country’ in modern tourism parlance and covers the area west to east from Pevensey to Kent and south to north from the English Channel coast to Kent. Clearly the general histories of the monarchs and associated events must be severely truncated in such local studies. Hopefully, to maintain relevance, just enough information is given to link the key points of the local histories to the kings, and events surrounding the kings. Also in studies which have focal local interest there can inevitably be large time gaps between events, and some local events of really momentous concern can only be described from very little information. Other smaller events can be overwhelmed by detail, particularly later in the sequence, when more detailed records become available and ‘editing down’ is required to keep some basic perspective. The work is drawn from wide sources and as much as possible the text has been cross referenced between different works. A list of sources is given at the end of the sequence. Throughout the texts ‘Winchelsea’ refers to ‘Old Winchelsea’ which may have only been a small fishing village in 1066, but by the 1200s had become a sizable and important, if somewhat independently minded and anarchic town, which stood on a large shingle bank east of the present Winchelsea, possibly just south of where Camber castle still stands today.

I made the “mistake” of reading the first set of minutes and became hooked. This booklet is the result and is my first attempt at a project of this type. I hope I have done justice to the years of endeavour that have created a magnificent bowls club in Bishop Duppas. My efforts to capture our past were supported by a number of members. Their memories and contributions have enriched the detail contained in the archives. I am grateful to Mike & Wendy Jay, George & Isabel Morton, John Webb, Ray Purdey, Pauline Hutton, Les Fleetwood, Maureen Ayling, Margaret Horne, Brian Ward ( who helped by taking photographs) and Pauline Knapp who spent ages digging into her computer for a number of the illustrations. Past member Gerry Wynveldt provided some of the pictures. These had been filed in the archives.

    87 TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED: GLIMPSES OF FRIENDS IN THE ARCHIVES OF LAMBETH PALACE LIBRARY y the very nature of the collections in Lambeth Palace Library l which reflect the views of establishment figures, B Archbishops, Bishops, and to a lesser extent local clergy, it is inevitable that Friends are not always portrayed in a particularly sympathetic light, especially in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.2 The collections as a whole illustrate the full breadth of change in society's and the Church of England's attitudes to Friends over the years. These range from virulent attack and total incomprehension of Quaker testimonies in the late seventeenth century to mutual accommodation in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when the Society of Friends was in general conceived less as a threat to the establishment; then finally in a more ecumenical age to an acceptance that Friends had a recognisable contribution to make as both individuals and a Society - at a time when a Quaker, Douglas Steere, was among the official observers present at a Lambeth Conference, in 1968,3 and when an Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, used his privilege under Peter's Pence Act of 1534 to grant a Lambeth doctorate of civil law to Sydney Bailey in 1985 in recognition of his services to international justice and peace, the first Quaker to receive a Lambeth degree.4 It is not my purpose to provide a lengthy catalogue of records or a guide to references to Friends in the manuscripts and archives at Lambeth, but rather to home in on a couple of different and contrasting collections dating variously from the eighteenth and the twentieth centuries which show Friends in less expected lights.
