  • Chapter Six Stephen Langton: Moulding the Model After 1170
    Chapter Six Stephen Langton: Moulding the Model After 1170 Thomas Becket became the model for every archbishop of Canterbury to follow in regards to relations with Rome and the English crown. Such was his effect on the archiepiscopate that many of his successors supported and attempted to bolster his sanctity, and constant allusions were made to his name and figure as a revered saint. Stephen Langton was one such successor to Becket’s see and has been considered by Frederick Maurice Powicke as ‘one of the best, and also one of the least known figures in English history’. 1 Langton had a long and varied career, he was a student and leading scholar at Paris, he became a cardinal and archbishop of Canterbury, 2 and perhaps most importantly the arrangement and division of the Bible as it appears today is credited to him, 3 yet this is sometimes ignored. What Stephen Langton is known for, however, is the Interdict of England in 1208 and the creation of Magna Carta in 1215. Yet Langton is the feature of no contemporary biographies or even hagiographies that have survived to this day, all that is left are the chronicles of Matthew Paris, Roger of Wendover and Gervase of Canterbury which contain letters and other information about him. Powicke’s biography is the only modern work which focusses entirely on Langton and his policies, since many historians have glossed over his life, often preferring to study King John or Pope Innocent III. Accordingly there is very little is known about this archbishop apart from a few of his own scholarly writings that have survived.

  • The House of Bishops of the Church of England Has Today Welcomed Eight Women As Participant Observers to Its Meetings
    The House of Bishops of the Church of England has today welcomed eight women as participant observers to its meetings. The welcome follows the election of the eight senior women clergy from regions across the country. In February of this year the House decided that until such time as there are six female members of the House, following the admission of women to the episcopate, a number of senior women clergy should be given the right to attend and speak at meetings of the House as participant observers. The necessary change to the House's Standing Orders was made in May. Elections for the eight senior women clergy were held in autumn of this year and the following were elected: • East Midlands - Ven Christine Wilson, Archdeacon of Chesterfield • West Midlands - Revd Preb. Dr Jane Tillier, Preb of Lichfield Cathedral • East Anglia - Ven Annette Cooper, Archdeacon of Colchester • South and Central - Ven Joanne Grenfell, Archdeacon of Portsdown • South East region - Ven Rachel Treweek, Archdeacon of Hackney • South West region - Ven Nicola Sullivan, Archdeacon of Wells • North East Very Revd Vivienne Faull, Dean of York • North West - The Rev Libby Lane, Dean of Women in Ministry, Chester Diocese Having taken up their role on 1st December, the two day meeting of the House of Bishops in York on December 9-10 will be the first meeting at which the participant observers will attend.

  • Newsletter Canterbury Cathedral Titlearchives and Library News Magna Carta News
    Newsletter Canterbury Cathedral titleArchives and Library News Magna Carta News f the many anniversaries being commemorated this year, the most significant for the Cathedral is that of Magna Carta, sealed by King John 800 years ago, on 15th June 1215, at Runnymede. The story of O Magna Carta is complex. However, its basic legacy is clear. Magna Carta is a cornerstone of English democracy, establishing the principle that all, including the monarch, should be subject to the law. Its influence through the centuries has been great, not just in this country, but also overseas, particularly in the United States. For a good introduction to Magna Carta, do look at the website of the Magna Carta Project (www. magnacarta.cmp.uea.ac.uk). Canterbury is one of the five designated ‘Magna Carta Towns’ in England, alongside Runnymede, the City of London, St Albans and Bury St Edmunds. These towns or cities have a particularly close historical link with Magna Carta. In the case of Canterbury, the link is Stephen Langton, Archbishop from 1207 to 1228. Langton’s appointment as Archbishop of Canterbury by Pope Innocent III led to John’s dispute with Rome, the ‘Interdict’ which the Pope placed on England, and the King’s excommunication. Langton was closely involved in the negotiations between the King and the barons which resulted in Magna Carta. He died on 9th July 1228, and is buried in St Michael’s Chapel. A further very close link with Magna Carta was revealed at the beginning of this year: one of the four surviving copies of the 1215 Magna Carta was identified by Prof David Carpenter as ‘the Canterbury Magna Carta’.

  • Issue No. 7 May to July 2014
    Issue No. 7 May to July 2014 Welcome to the seventh edition of the Newark and Southwell Deanery Newsletter. Dear All, This June I will be standing down as your Lay Chair of Deanery Synod, having been in post for six years. Prior to this I was joint Lay Chair of the newly formed Newark and Southwell Deanery and before that was Lay Chair of Southwell Deanery for six years. As far as my youngest daughter, who is now 18, is concerned, I have always been a Lay chair! In that time many things have changed. The diocese changed its name in 2005, from the Diocese of Southwell to the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham. Three Diocesan Bishops have come and gone and the role of the Deanery and Deanery Leadership team within the diocesan structure has become more involved. As an administrative structure we have been given more responsibility for the day to day running of the deanery, involving allocation of share across the parishes and planning of deanery structure and staffing through various targets set by the diocese - 2012 and 2020. The journey has not been easy. There are some things that have worked better than others. By listening to what folks have to say, both the good and the bad, we hope we are able to serve the deanery more effectively. Money and share and the enormous responsibility of the upkeep of our glorious parish churches has always been and will remain an ongoing juggling act between the needs of our parishes and the desire to join together in the Transforming Mission of God in the wider diocese and beyond.
