  • CUDDESDON and DENTON NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN Submission Version
    CUDDESDON AND DENTON NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN Submission version Cuddesdon: originally an Anglo-Saxon hilltop settlement and still surrounded by open countryside with exceptional far-reaching views 1 SUMMARY 1. This document briefly describes the Neighbourhood Planning process for those who are unfamiliar with it and the village for those who have not visited it. This is followed by an assessment of the village character and then our vision and aims for the plan. It ends with a set of planning policies designed to deliver the vision and aims. 2. Cuddesdon and Denton is a small parish about 6 miles south east of Oxford with nearly 500 people in three distinct settlements – Cuddesdon, Chippinghurst and Denton. 3. Cuddesdon itself is home to Ripon College Cuddesdon, one of the largest theological colleges in the country and well known worldwide. Generations of theological students have appreciated the peace and tranquillity, as well as the stunning views of the surrounding countryside, a defining feature of the village. 4. The church and agriculture have shaped the parish for nearly 1500 years. More recently the Green Belt has maintained the character and protected the wonderful views across to the Chilterns, North Wessex Downs and Garsington. This protection is much valued by residents. 5. Cuddesdon is designated as a ‘Smaller’ unsustainable settlement with minimal services and within the Green Belt and is not expected to grow significantly. Denton and Chippinghurst are not classified meaning that growth is even less likely. 6. The parish has a mixed architectural style with some 28 Listed Buildings and Monuments. The theological college and Parish Church dominate the skyline from all sides.

  • A Record of a Meeting of Members Of
    A record of a meeting of members of the International Anglican Liturgical Consultation at Ripon College Cuddesdon 3-9 August 2003 Liturgical Formation The meeting began with a celebration of the eucharist at which the Bishop of Salisbury was presider, and convened after a reception and dinner. The chair, Paul Bradshaw, welcomed participants. He thanked those who had made the meeting possible, especially members of the steering committee, members of the England home team (Jeremy Fletcher and Gilly Myers who put together the worship booklets for the week), and John Harper of the Royal School of Church Music. He welcomed Alan Detscher, a presbyter of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport, Connecticut, as ecumenical partner. He also thanked Graham Wolfenden, lecturer in liturgy at Cuddesdon, and Simon Jones, who arranged transportation.. Graham Wolfenden welcomed the meeting on behalf of the Principal of the college. David Stancliffe welcomed the meeting on behalf of the Archbishop of Canterbury who sent his good wishes. Paul Bradshaw commented on the somewhat remote location of the College and the consequent limitation of amenities. The meeting discussed various housekeeping matters. Paul Bradshaw noted that 61 persons were present, representing 16 provinces of the Anglican Communion. Paul Bradshaw reminded the meeting that this event was not a Consultation. The Consultations were originally held every two years but when it became clear that it was impossible to get wide representation so frequently it was decided that full consultations would be held only every four years and meetings of members would be held at the two-year intervals between them.

  • An Introduction to Ripon College Cuddesdon
    History Cuddesdon College was founded in 1854 by the Bishop of Oxford, Samuel Wilberforce, for the full- time, residential training of ordained ministers. Another theological college, Ripon Hall, was incorporated in 1975 to form Ripon College Cuddesdon. Non-residential and dual-track ordination training has been offered since 2006 with the incorporation of the Oxford Ministry Course (now the Part Time Pathway PTP) located at Cuddesdon, the West of England Ministerial Training Course (now Cuddesdon Gloucester Hereford CGH) located in Gloucester and Ludlow in 2011, and the inception of the Portsmouth Pathway (PPC) located in central Portsmouth in 2015. Alongside formational training, some students take University of Oxford degrees but the majority undertake Durham University Common Awards (DUCA). Through these pathways and range of courses, the College offers programmes to suit students at different stages of life, various personal circumstances and academic abilities for ministry within the church: stipendiary, self supporting, local ordained and lay ministry. The College is committed to the diversity of the church with students coming from a broad range of Anglican traditions. There are around 100-120 students in training at any one time with a roughly even split between men and women, with the average age of students being between 30 and 35 years. Just under half live in the Cuddesdon community, either as single students or with their families, for one, two or three years, with the remainder training on non-residential pathways. The College also trains Ordained Pioneer Ministers through a collaboration with Church Mission Society, trains Readers through its Gloucester, Hereford and Portsmouth pathways, and offers independent courses to a growing number of lay and ordained students.

  • Conference Report “Christian Congregational Music: Local and Global Perspectives” Ripon College Cuddesdon, Oxford, 1-3 September 2011
    Conference Report “Christian Congregational Music: Local and Global Perspectives” Ripon College Cuddesdon, Oxford, 1-3 September 2011 Report compiled for the British Forum for Ethnomusicology (http://www.bfe.org.uk/conferencearchive.html ) Dr Muriel Swijghuisen Reigersberg (Independent Scholar) & Laryssa Whittaker (Royal Holloway, London) Sixty-seven scholars – over half of whom were ethnomusicologists – from ten nations participated in this conference, organized by Monique Ingalls (University of Cambridge, UK) and Carolyn Landau (King’s College, London). Together with chair Martyn Percy (Ripon College Cuddesdon), Tom Wagner (Royal Holloway, London), and Mark Porter (City University, London) on the programme committee, they created a stimulating programme that explored congregational music from multiple global and disciplinary perspectives. After a warm welcome, the first plenary explored the idea of performing theology through music. Martin Stringer’s (Birmingham) presentation raised questions about the trivialisation of liturgy in the context of current trends toward comfortableness, intimacy, and musical spontaneity in worship. Carol Muller (Pennsylvania) used her book on the Shembe hymns of South Africa to reflect on what the relationship between theology and performance might look like ethnomusicologically, asking whether “the theological” might only exist in the ephemerality of performance. This was followed by parallel sessions with panels addressing the themes of re-forming identities, replacing binaries, and performing identities. The Christian congregational musics of Chinese Christians based in the UK, Catholic and Protestant churches in Java, Australian Aboriginal Lutherans in Queensland, and HIV- positive Christians in South Africa were explored. The second keynote plenary, “Politics and congregational singing,” included an interactive lecture performance by June Boyce-Tillman (Winchester), who discussed the musical aesthetics and value systems implicit in Western congregational and choral singing.

    Lament, Reading and Therapy Joint KCL/Oxford workshop* 5 November 2018 Oriel College, Oxford This workshop considers the composition, performance, and repetition of texts of lament, loss and healing. We understand the writing and reading of these lament traditions to be the work of therapy. Presentations will explore how interpretive communities – collective and individual – internalise, interpret and translate experiences of trauma and fracture into new readings, rewritten scripture, and radical prayer.

  • Why Do We Still Recite the Nicene Creed at the Eucharist?
    ATR/87:2 Why Do We Still Recite the Nicene Creed at the Eucharist? Mark D. Chapman* The Anglican Communion appears to be seeking to rule some in and some out on the grounds of “orthodoxy.” In that con- text, a discussion of the creed in worship may help to illustrate the relationships between doctrine, performance, and practice. This article suggests that F. D. Maurice’s understanding of the use of the creed offers a way forward for Anglicans: the “performance” of the creed as a focus for the name of God becomes far more im- portant than assent to propositions. This understanding might help Anglicans in living with diversity while acknowledging an underlying baptismal unity. Reading the creed as a corporate hymn of praise to triune Love might encourage God-fearing people to live in humble adoration of the One who loves them— without growing anxious about precisely what, or even whether, the other people who are singing God’s praise “believe.” It is hard to know what people make of creeds today. My hunch is that most people, and even most Christians, however pious, do not spend much time reading creeds of any sort, let alone the Nicene Creed. Popular apologetic programs like the Alpha Course are, per- haps rather surprisingly, distant from the creeds, and instead focus on a few selected articles and a few things (like particular models of the atonement and charismatic experience) which are not in the creeds at all. In fact, the most likely place to encounter creeds is not in any teaching situation at all, but instead at a service in a church which uses a formal liturgy.

    ATR/90:2 Sacred Sagacity: Formation and Training for Ministry in a Church of England Seminary Martyn Percy* Introduction I suppose that the first and most obvious thing to say about the purpose of ordination training—formation and education for min- istry—is that it isn’t immediately obvious. What, after all, is one being prepared for? As Urban Holmes III presciently observed more than thirty years ago, the roles and tasks of the clergy are not nearly as pal- pable in the late twentieth-century North Atlantic as they might have been one hundred years earlier.1 It almost goes without saying that if the professional status of clergy is somewhat ambivalent, then the training and formation that seminarians (or ordinands) receive is also likely to reflect this.2 Yet this is not quite so. Students preparing for or- dained ministry—in whatever institution they are being trained, formed, and educated—can point to a curriculum, usually with a mul- tiplicity of options but also a “core,” and to some kind of disciplined approach to prayer and worship. They can point to an ecclesial tradi- tion that at least adds some kind of accent to the ethos of the institu- tion, and to some practical assignments that continue to test the depth and trajectory of a vocation. And they can point to a continuous * Martyn Percy is Principal of Ripon College Cuddesdon and the Oxford Ministry Course. He is also Professor of Theological Education at King’s College, London, and Canon Theologian of Sheffield Cathedral. 1 Urban T.
