  • The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, C.1164-C.1560
    1 The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560 Victoria Anne Hodgson University of Stirling Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 2 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560, and its place within Scottish society. The subject of medieval monasticism in Scotland has received limited scholarly attention and Coupar itself has been almost completely overlooked, despite the fact that the abbey possesses one of the best sets of surviving sources of any Scottish religious house. Moreover, in recent years, long-held assumptions about the Cistercian Order have been challenged and the validity of Order-wide generalisations disputed. Historians have therefore highlighted the importance of dedicated studies of individual houses and the need to incorporate the experience of abbeys on the European ‘periphery’ into the overall narrative. This thesis considers the history of Coupar in terms of three broadly thematic areas. The first chapter focuses on the nature of the abbey’s landholding and prosecution of resources, as well as the monks’ burghal presence and involvement in trade. The second investigates the ways in which the house interacted with wider society outside of its role as landowner, particularly within the context of lay piety, patronage and its intercessory function. The final chapter is concerned with a more strictly ecclesiastical setting and is divided into two parts. The first considers the abbey within the configuration of the Scottish secular church with regards to parishes, churches and chapels. The second investigates the strength of Cistercian networks, both domestic and international.

IS “NONTHEIST QUAKERISM” A CONTRADICTION OF TERMS? Paul anderson s the term “Nontheist Friends” a contradiction of terms? On one Ihand, Friends have been free-thinking and open theologically, so liberal Friends have tended to welcome almost any nonconventional trend among their members. As a result, atheists and nontheists have felt a welcome among them, and some Friends in Britain and Friends General Conference have recently explored alternatives to theism. On the other hand, what does it mean to be a “Quaker”—even among liberal Friends? Can an atheist claim with integrity to be a “birthright Friend” if one has abandoned faith in the God, when the historic heart and soul of the Quaker movement has diminished all else in service to a dynamic relationship with the Living God? And, can a true nontheist claim to be a “convinced Friend” if one declares being unconvinced of God’s truth? On the surface it appears that one cannot have it both ways.

  • Correspondence-With-Government
    AN OPEN LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER DAVID CAMERON Time to Dismantle the Parallel Legal System: Call from 395 Signatories 10th December 2015 Prime Minister David Cameron 10 Downing St London SW1A 2AA Dear Prime Minister Women’s rights and secular organisations urge the new government to take concerted measures to stop the development of parallel legal systems and to facilitate full and proper access to justice for all citizens and to one secular law for all. For decades, successive governments have appeased undemocratic religious power brokers in minority communities who have sought to gain power through multicultural and now multi- faith social policies. These policies have led to the homogenisation of minority communities including the ‘Muslim community’ and have recognised and legitimated ‘non-violent’ Islamists as ‘community representatives’, outsourcing legal justice to what are in effect kangaroo courts that deliver highly discriminatory and second-rate forms of ‘justice.’ Over the years, we have witnessed with increasing alarm the influence of ‘Sharia courts’ over the lives of citizens of Muslim heritage. Any government inquiry into ‘Sharia courts’ must also examine the impact of the draconian cuts in legal aid that have adversely affected access to justice for the most vulnerable. Many abused women from minority backgrounds, for instance, are increasingly forced to either represent themselves in court in what are often complex family legal proceedings or go to ‘Sharia courts’ that operate entirely outside the rule of law. The loss of legal aid contributes to a context that is conducive to the consolidation of privatised and unaccountable forms of justice and ‘Sharia courts’ are amongst the main beneficiaries.

  • NSS Autumn 2016 Bulletin
    Issue 64 Autumn 2016 150 years of challenging religious privilege Religious selection in school admissions: Don’t extend it. End it. The National Secular Society is vigorously opposing controversial new Government proposals for a new wave of 100% religiously selective schools in England. Prime Minister Theresa May wants to allow new and existing faith-based free schools to religiously select all of their pupil intake, rather than the 50% allowed now. TAKE ACTION WE MUST END RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION AND SEGREGATION IN OUR SCHOOLS – NOT EXTEND IT. Please make sure you respond to the consultation AND urge your MP to oppose these proposals and instead call for open inclusive schools. RELIGIOUS SELECTION IN SCHOOLS is discriminatory, and undermine children’s and young people’s religious entrenches religious segregation in wider society, and freedoms. often leads to ethnic and socio-economic segregation too.

  • Freedom of Religion and Education in Connection with the Relations of Church and State in Scotland
    Freedom of religion and education in connection with the relations of church and state in Scotland Thank you for the opportunity to address you. My title reveals a particularly Scottish perspective which I hope will be of interest to you. I must begin by stressing that I am not an educationalist, nor, in any sense, an expert in the field of Christian education. I am here as a minister of the gospel. Much as I might wish to, I don’t however intend to preach a sermon. So, I hope you will bear with me, and with my Scottish accent, and that you will find some of the issues I raise to be relevant. I want to look at four things in the time available: 1. Some background concerning education and freedom of religion in Scotland 2. Two different responses to the situation 3. How Reformed principles would, and in my view should, impinge on education 4. Offer some practical suggestions for addressing the present need in Scotland I want to open by giving you a general picture of religion in the Scottish education system. (1) Legal situation. In terms of law, religion in Scottish schools has a favoured place. This dates back to 1872 when most schools, then run by Churches, came under state control and a national system was devised. Religious instruction and religious observance were specially protected. In 1929 an Act of Parliament ensured that this religious instruction and observance ‘cannot be discontinued in any Local Authority school without a resolution to discontinue being submitted to a poll of electors in that area and approved by a majority.’ This has never happened in any part of Scotland.

  • Scottish Government Consultation on Religious Observance (RO) Guidance
    Together, Level 1, Rosebery House, 9 Haymarket Terrace, Edinburgh EH12 5EZ Company Number 199725 Scottish Charity SC 029403 Scottish Government consultation on Religious Observance (RO) guidance Proposed revisions of relevance: 3. Importance of schools communicating effectively about their RO plans. 4. Clarity about the relevance of young people’s own views in any discussions about withdrawal from Religious Observance. Key points from Together: Whilst welcoming the Scottish Government’s proposal to revise the guidance on religious observance, Together is clear this initial consultation does not fully implement the UN Committee’s Concluding Observation and can only be seen as a first step in taking the recommendation forward. Together supports the full implementation of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child’s 2016 Concluding Observation that: “the State party repeal legal provisions for compulsory attendance at collective worship in publicly funded schools and ensure that children can independently exercise the right to withdraw from religious worship at school.”1 In this initial revision of the guidance, Scottish Government can give further effect to its UNCRC obligations to children and young people as follows: Article 5 of the UNCRC2: Article 5 of the Convention states that direction and guidance, provided by parents or others with responsibility for the child, must take into account the capacities of the child to exercise rights on his or her own behalf. The article recognises children’s “evolving capacities”, stressing that parental guidance should be conditioned upon this evolving capacity. In other words, as children mature, they should be allowed greater freedom of choice and respect for their ability to fully exercise their rights, including decisions to withdraw from Religious Observance.
