The last year has seen changes in the running of the Trust, with a new Chairman and Secretary, and with the retirement of some of the Trustees. Caroline Woollard, our new Chairman (she prefers the term to ‘chairperson’ or even, heaven forbid, ‘chair’), was Secretary of the Trust and the Pilgrimage Association for six years; Dr Peter Davies, having retired as a GP in Abergavenny, now takes on those rôles. Dr Davies is the son of the late Wilfred and Helen Davies—Wilf was one of the original Trustees and the family lived at the Monastery. 3 From the Chairman.

    Travels in America: Aelred Carlyle, His American “Allies,” and Anglican Benedictine Monasticism Rene Kollar Saint Vincent Archabbey, Latrobe, Pennsylvania N FEBRUARY 1913, Abbot Aelred Carlyle and a majority of the Benedictine monks of Caldey Island, South Wales, renounced the Anglican Church and converted to I Roman Catholicism.1 For years, the Caldey Island monastery had been a show piece of Anglo-Catholicism and a testimony to the catholic heritage of the Anglican Church, but when Charles Gore, the Bishop of Oxford, tried to regularize their status within Anglicanism by forcing Carlyle and the monks to agree to a series of demands which would radically alter their High Church liturgy and devotions, the monks voted to join the Church of Rome. The demands of the Great War, however, strained the fragile finances of the island monastery, and during the spring of 1918, Abbot Carlyle traveled to America to solicit funds for his monastery. “And it was indeed sheer necessity that took me away from the quiet shores of Caldey,” he told the readers of Pax, the community’s magazine, but “Caldey has suffered grievously through the war.”2 Abbot Carlyle saw a possible solution to his problems. “In our need we turned to our Catholic Allies in the United States, and my duty seemed obvious that I should accept the invitation I had received to go to New York to plead in person the cause of Caldey there.” Carlyle had not forgotten lessons from the past. During his years as an Anglican monk, the American connection proved to be an important asset in the realization of his monastic dreams.

    1 the Revival of Benedictinism Within the Anglican Communion: Its

    The Revival of Benedictinism within the Anglican Communion: its origins and development within three monastic communities. By Philip John Bewley, 2009 Introduction Lord Carey of Clifton, former Archbishop of Canterbury, once described the existence of monastic and other religious communities as “the best kept secret in the Church of England”.1 Even among the majority of Anglicans today, all monks and nuns are presumed to be Roman Catholic, and many Anglicans would be very surprised to learn otherwise. However, since Marian Hughes made her profession in 1841, male and female religious have existed in the Anglican Communion. More importantly, male religious following the Rule of Benedict emerged on Caldey Island in 1896 and female religious at Baltonsborough in 1906, later moving to West Malling in 1916. With the birth of these two religious communities, Benedictinism and monastic life was finally restored to Anglicanism. In this paper I will present an overview of the restoration of Benedictine monasticism within the Anglican Communion, detailing the various strands which brought this revival into existence. Thereafter three particular Anglican communities will be studied, namely the Benedictines of Caldey Island; the monastic community which has lived at Pershore, Nashdom and Elmore respectively; and the female community which resides at Malling Abbey. This overview will look at their respective beginnings and ongoing development, and will offer a critique of the Benedictine movement as it has stood within Anglicanism. It is my premise that the movement at various points in its development has moved towards an overtly Anglo-Papalist agenda, and only by embracing its Anglican identity, which by its very nature is steeped in Benedictinism, has it been embraced by mainstream Anglicanism.

    Cotswolds Tours & Villages Cotswolds tours around local villages give a distinct air of beauty to the eye of any visitor to the area. You will often find locals waving and saying hello in the summer as they sit and watch the world go by, children play out on village greens and walkers stride through lanes and fields admiring the breath-taking scenery and views. Cotswold villages are a wonderful place to live and there are many villages which have several historical sites, making them famous landmarks, enticing people to the area. Many of the villages in the Cotswolds are dotted along the picturesque countryside, nestled on the rolling hills between magnificent market towns. Cotswolds tours regularly take visitors through the picture- perfect villages, showing them a somewhat picturesque vision of typical Cotswold life. Many villages and towns are built from the beautiful Cotswold stone which could be described as a warm honey-coloured limestone, typical of the area. Cotswold Villages – The Slaughters Upper and Lower Slaughter are two awe-inspiring villages which offer visitors a perfect Cotswold scene of honey-coloured Cotswold stone cottages that beautifully line the streets and lanes. Known as ‘The Slaughters’, the villages in Gloucestershire are close to Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on- the-Water. They are twin villages where the River Eye divides them and runs through the centre of the villages and the word ‘Slaughter’ comes from the word ‘Slohtre’, an Anglo-Saxon phrase for ‘muddy place’. A street called Copse Hill Road in Lower Slaughter has been named by Google Maps as being the ‘most romantic street in England’.

    For the 38Th Annual Symposium at Buckfast 4/4/2013)

    I A SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE (for the 38th Annual Symposium at Buckfast 4/4/2013) I was asked to talk about the early history of my Community at Prinknash, and with special reference to Abbot Aelred Carlyle who founded it. It is now a very appropriate time; because our Community has been going 117 years since 1896 and Aelred died very near the middle in 1955. So the Community existed for 59 years during his life time and has continued another 58 years since his death. I have called the talk “A Spiritual Adventure” because that was the title Aelred gave to an autobiography he never wrote1. I am trying to do it for him in 45 minutes. I propose to discuss the matter in three sections, covering three different aspects: (i) the things Aelred did that influenced the Community (ii) the things he did that did not influence the Community (iii) the things that the Community did irrespective of Aelred. I. THE THINGS AELRED DID THAT INFLUENCED THE COMMUNITY The Community was Aelred’s invention. Bom and baptised Benjamin Feamley Carlyle in 1874 he was an Anglican medical student at Barts in 1896 with Anglo-Catholic tendencies2 and out of his own head he got the idea of setting up a Benedictine Community3 in the East End of London. Individual Anglicans had been relatively successful in setting up Religious Orders in the latter half of the 19th century especially for women. But in the last decade of the century, founding communities was becoming a part of pastoral strategy in the Church of England.
  • Unenglish and Unmanly: Anglo-Catholicism and Homosexuality

    Unenglish and Unmanly: Anglo-Catholicism and Homosexuality

    UnEnglish and Unmanly: Anglo-Catholicism and Homosexuality By David Hilliard ESPITE THE TRADITIONAL teaching of the Christian Church that homosexual behaviour is always sinful, there are grounds for believing Dthat Anglo-Catholic religion within the Church of England has offered emotional and aesthetic satisfactions that have been particularly attractive to members of a stigmatised sexual minority. This apparent connection between Anglo-Catholicism and the male homosexual subculture in the English-speaking world has often been remarked upon, but it has never been fully explored. In 1960, for example, in a pioneering study of male homosexuality in Britain, Gordon Westwood stated: Some of the contacts maintained that the highest proportion of homosexuals who are regular churchgoers favoured the Anglo-Catholic churches. ... It was not possible to confirm that suggestion in this survey, but it is not difficult to understand that the services with impressive ceremony and large choirs are more likely to appeal to homosexuals.1 More recently, in the United States, several former priests of the Episcopal church have described some of the links between homosexual men and Catholic forms of religion, on the basis of their own knowledge of Anglo-Catholic parishes.2 This essay brings together some of the historical evidence of the ways in which a homosexual sensibility has expressed itself within Anglo-Catholicism. Because of the fragmentary and ambiguous nature of much of this evidence only a tentative outline can be suggested. I Until the late nineteenth century homosexuality was socially defined in terms of certain forbidden sexual acts, such as “buggery” or “sodomy.”3 1 Gordon Westwood, A Minority: A Report on the Life of the Male Homosexual in Great Britain (London; Longmans, 1960), pp.
