  • The Trinitarian Ecclesiology of Thomas F. Torrance
    The Trinitarian Ecclesiology of Thomas F. Torrance Kate Helen Dugdale Submitted to fulfil the requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, November 2016. 1 2 ABSTRACT This thesis argues that rather than focusing on the Church as an institution, social grouping, or volunteer society, the study of ecclesiology must begin with a robust investigation of the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. Utilising the work of Thomas F. Torrance, it proposes that the Church is to be understood as an empirical community in space and time that is primarily shaped by the perichoretic communion of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, revealed by the economic work of the Son and the Spirit. The Church’s historical existence is thus subordinate to the Church’s relation to the Triune God, which is why the doctrine of the Trinity is assigned a regulative influence in Torrance’s work. This does not exclude the essential nature of other doctrines, but gives pre-eminence to the doctrine of the Trinity as the foundational article for ecclesiology. The methodology of this thesis is one of constructive analysis, involving a critical and constructive appreciation of Torrance’s work, and then exploring how further dialogue with Torrance’s work can be fruitfully undertaken. Part A (Chapters 1-5) focuses on the theological architectonics of Torrance’s ecclesiology, emphasising that the doctrine of the Trinity has precedence over ecclesiology. While the doctrine of the Church is the immediate object of our consideration, we cannot begin by considering the Church as a spatiotemporal institution, but rather must look ‘through the Church’ to find its dimension of depth, which is the Holy Trinity.

The results demonstrate that, on average, a managerial sacking results in a post-announcement day market-adjusted share price rise of 0.3%, whilst a resignation leads to a drop in share price of 1% that continues for a trading month thereafter, cumulating in a negative abnormal return of over 8% from a trading day before the event.

  • The Centenary of the Church
    LANGHOLM OLD PARISH CHURCH 1846 - 1946 THE CENTENARY OF THE CHURCH ITS HISTORY AND ASSOCIATIONS COMPILED BY R. H. WATT, M.D. Price 2/- (in aid of Centenary Fund). 1 ORIGINAL FOREWARD The Minister and Session of the Church are greatly Indebted to Dr. Watt, one of the Session members, for compiling this record. The proceeds from the sale of the copies will be devoted to the Centenary Fund by which it is hoped further to equip and adorn the Church at an early date. NEW FORWARD This booklet has been reprinted from the original by the Langholm Archive Group in 2009. Proceeds from the sale will be split between the Church and the Archive Group 2 3 This year (1946) we celebrate the Centenary of the Langholm (Old) Parish Church, and at such a unique time in its history it is perhaps not unbefitting for us to recall to memory its long associations and traditions. Indeed one doubts whether there exists anywhere in the Scottish Borders a Parish and Auld Kirk whose annals tell a story, more romantic, more religious, more historic, or more compelling, than do those of the Parish and Auld Kirk of Langholm. EARLY HISTORY. Even before the coming of Christianity to the Scottish Borders, the people were being subjected to constant turmoil and fighting with little rest or peace, and this state of affairs continued until the 1745 rebellion. The first to make its appearance was the Roman invasion and this was followed by the Saxon and Danish invasions. These were followed by the Wars of Independence when Scotland struggled for national existence.

  • The Bass Rock
    The Bass Rock. OAviO J l««,oi~, AT lf<<.M fJXA\ ^^ fiSli - t —____ k« . CHAPTER I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. HE rocky islands that dot the shores of the Forth have been picturesquely described by Sir Walter Scott in " Marmion " as " emeralds chased in gold." They have also been described as " bleak islets." Both these seemingly contradictory descriptions are true according as the sky is bright and sunny or, as so often happens in our northern climate, cloudy and1 overcast. Of these islands those known as the greater *' emeralds " are Inchkeith, Inchcolme, May Island, and the Bass. The lesser " emeralds " being Cramond, Inch- garvie, Fidra, Eyebroughty, and Craig Leith. Over nearly all these islands there clings a halo of romance and legend. With Inchkeith we associate a gallant chieftain, of the name of Keith, who in one of the« invasions of the Danes slew their leader, and received the island as a reward from a grateful King. 4 THE BASS ROCK. Inchcolme takes us back to the time of the Britons when the Druids are said to have here practised the mysteries of their religion. It was here, too, that David I., having sought refuge in a storm, was enter- tained by the hermit, and afterwards in gratitude founded a monastery, the ruins of which form at the present day a picturesque feature of the island. The May Island in early Christian times was dedi- cated to religious uses, and here a colony of monks under the saintly Adrian were massacred by the Danes. The beautifully shaped Fidra has also its historical associations, having had a monastic establishment in con- nection with the Abbey at North Berwick, and also a castle called Tarbert, which at one time belonged to the Lauders of the Bass.

The Commission had emerged after years of disagreement related to the meaning of baptism and its administration, especially in light of infant baptism.

The charitable fund my husband launched in 2008 continues to go from strength to strength and we’re very proud of everything we’ve been able to achieve. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, and working in partnership with the NHS, Newcastle University and other charities, we’ve been able to make tremendous progress towards finding m ore effective ways to detect cancer early and treat it. It feels like, together, we’re achieving Bob’s strongly held ambitions to help other people faced with this terrible disease. And there’s still so much more we have planned. Our medical trustees are always looking ahead Sir Bobby with Professor Ruth Plummer just to the next promising new treatments and before the launch of the Foundation equipment. I’m often astounded by the science involved. Sir Bobby launched the Foundation after a request for help from his oncologist Professor Ruth Plummer. This has been a tremendous year for us. I hope this review reflects that. It covers activity before Professor Plummer was treating Sir Bobby as he faced cancer for the fifth - and what he knew would Steve Harper’s wonderful charity game at be the final time.
