Evangelii Nuntiandi 1975 This troubling document is, sad to say, rather mean-spirited. Its attitude to the vernacular seems wholly grudging and concessive and is hard to reconcile with the positive openness to other cultures and languages displayed by Vatican II (e.g. Ad Gentes 19, 21) and Paul VI (e.g.Evangelii Nuntiandi 62, 63). It is mistrustful of bishops and bishops’ conferences and claws back the jus liturgicum restored to them by the Council. It claims the right to overrule their choice English-speaking Catho- of collaborators and even to impose the Congregation’s own translations on them. Without lics have an obligation supporting evidence, it imputes serious errors to existing translations which have been approved to offer their own over and again by conferences and confirmed over and again by the selfsame Congregation contributions to the living corpus of prayer in Rome. that they have received. It is authoritarian, not to say totalitarian in tone. It speaks openly in terms of the exercise Our faith experience of Jesus, reflecting our con- of “power”, spurns ecumenical convergence, requires biblical translations to be conformed to temporary culture, is the Latin liturgy and both to be conformed to the Catechism, and sets out to control even just as valid as the faith punctuation, capitalisation and the numbering of paragraphs. experience of those in previous millennia. It is doubtful whether the vitality of local churches and the energy of the Holy Spirit at work in Bishop D.Trautman, America, March 2001 them can be so constrained and controlled.

In the 1870s a former Presbyterian who was looking for the ideal pattern of the Church witnessed his first Brethren morning meeting in the village of K—.2 Converted in the revivals in the 1860s he was eventually to join this community. A number of years later he described his initial impressions. The seats were plain, and all alike, and in the place where I would have naturally looked for the pulpit, there stood a small table, covered with a white cloth, and on it a loaf of bread unbroken, and a cup of wine beside it.... The worship of these simple, warm-hearted believers, was such as I had never seen or heard of before. There was no minister, no president; nearly all the brethren took part: some in giving out a hymn, some in prayer and thanksgiving, and several read short portions of the Word, making a few remarks.

Printed by Whittet & Shepperson, Richmond, Va. A YEAR IN EUROPE. TO /ID^ Xlraveling Companions This Book is Dedicated as a memento OF HAPPY DAYS IN THE OlD WoRI.D. FOREWORD. The only excuse I have to offer for the publication of these desultory and chatty letters in this more per- manent form is that a number of my friends have requested it. Many of the letters have already ap- peared in the columns of The Children's Friend, for which they were originally written, at the instance of the Presbyterian Committee of Publication ; but I have included in the volume several letters which were written for other periodicals, and a considerable num- ber which have not been published anywhere till now. Some of them were written hastily, and, as it were, on the wing, others with more deliberation and care. Some were intended for young readers, others for older people. This will account for the differences of style and subject matter which will strike every one, and which will be particularly noticeable when the letters are read consecutively. In some cases I have drawn the materials, in part, from other sources besides my own observations, the main object at times being not originality, but accuracy and fullness of information. In such cases I have endeavored to make full acknowledgment of my in- debtedness to other writers.

  • The Presbyterian Interpretation of Scottish History 1800-1914.Pdf
    Graeme Neil Forsyth THE PRESBYTERIAN INTERPRETATION OF SCOTTISH HISTORY, 1800- 1914 Ph. D thesis University of Stirling 2003 ABSTRACT The nineteenth century saw the revival and widespread propagation in Scotland of a view of Scottish history that put Presbyterianism at the heart of the nation's identity, and told the story of Scotland's history largely in terms of the church's struggle for religious and constitutional liberty. Key to. this development was the Anti-Burgher minister Thomas M'Crie, who, spurred by attacks on Presbyterianism found in eighteenth-century and contemporary historical literature, between the years 1811 and 1819 wrote biographies of John Knox and Andrew Melville and a vindication of the Covenanters. M'Crie generally followed the very hard line found in the Whig- Presbyterian polemical literature that emerged from the struggles of the sixteenth and seventeenth century; he was particularly emphatic in support of the independence of the church from the state within its own sphere. His defence of his subjects embodied a Scottish Whig interpretation of British history, in which British constitutional liberties were prefigured in Scotland and in a considerable part won for the British people by the struggles of Presbyterian Scots during the seventeenth century. M'Crie's work won a huge following among the Scottish reading public, and spawned a revival in Presbyterian historiography which lasted through the century. His influence was considerably enhanced through the affinity felt for his work by the Anti- Intrusionists in the Church of Scotland and their successorsin the Free Church (1843- 1900), who were particularly attracted by his uncompromising defence of the spiritual independence of the church.

  • Edinburgh Notes
    The Chapels Society Edinburgh weekend visit notes, 2-4 May 2015 One thing which is soon noticeable when you visit Edinburgh is the profusion and variety of church buildings. There are several factors which help to account for this: The laying out of the ‘New Town’ from the 18th century, north of what is now Princes St, whose population needed to be served by suitable places of worship. Divisions within the Church of Scotland, most notably the Disruption of 1843 which resulted in the formation of the Free Church of Scotland. Revival and revivalism from the late 1850s through to 1905/6, leading to the establishment of evangelical churches and missions from existing churches. The desire of every denomination to establish a presence within Scotland’s capital, often of a suitably imposing and aesthetically satisfying nature (the Catholic Apostolic Church offers a prime example of this). The planting of new congregations in post-war suburban housing areas, although many of these have struggled to establish themselves and closures have already occurred. The arrival of new denominations, some taking over buildings constructed for Presbyterian use. For example, Holy Corner (that’s what you ask for on the bus!), around the junction of Morningside Rd and Colinton Rd, you can see Christ Church (Scottish Episcopal), Baptist (now Elim Pentecostal), United (now Church of Scotland / United Reformed), and the Eric Liddell Centre (formerly Church of Scotland). As a student here in the late 1970s, I remember the buses being busy with people travelling to Sunday morning worship. That may not be so now, but a surprising quantity of church buildings remain in use for worship.

    HOLY COMMUNION IN THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY A Thesis submitted to the University of Glasgow for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy KENNETH GRANT HUGHES IFaculty of Divinity, June 1987 Department of Theology and Church History Q Kenneth G. Hughes 1987 i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to record my indebtedness to the late Rev. Ian A. Muirhead, M. A., B. D., formerly lecturer in the Department of Ecclesiastical History in the University of Glasgow, who guided my initial studies relating to the subject of this thesis. I am particularly conscious, also, of my special debt to his successor, Dr. Gavin White, who accepted me as one of his research students without demur and willingly gave time and consideration in guiding the direction of my writing and advising me in the most fruitful deployment of the in- formation at my disposal. The staff of the University Library, Glasgow, have been unfailingly helpful as have the staff of the Library of New College, Edinburgh. Mr. Ian Hope and Miss Joyce Barrie of that Library have particularly gone out of their way to assist in my search for elusive material. I spent a brief period in Germany searching for docu- mentary evidence of Scottish-students of divinity who matric- ulated at the universities of Germany and, again, I wish to acknowledge the help given to me by the Librarians and their staffs at the University Libraries of Heidelberg and Ttbingen. My written enquiries to Halle, Erlangen, Marburg, Giessen, G6ttingen and Rostock met with a most courteous response, though only a small amount of the interesting material they provided was of use in this present study.

  • The Psalmody of Covenanting Times
    The• Psalmody of Covenanting Times 39 The Psalmody of Covenanting Times. IN dealing with this subject it is right to say at the outset that the materials that throw light upon it are of the scantiest, and most of them are fragmentary and difficult to find. You look for high lights upon it in vain. It does not appear to have attracted any attention even from scholars who have made a special study of the period ; enquiries made of several elicited the confession that they could say nothing about it at all. This need not surprise us. The subject has not engaged the interest of enquirers because it occupied a very subsidiary and indeed insignificant place in the minds of the people of Scotland throughout the whole period in question, and for a full century afterwards. It is no exaggeration to say that except for the very first years of Presbyterianism, when in the mother Church at Geneva there was no singing whatever in public worship—for the very good reason that, as yet, neither in words nor in music was there anything to sing—there can have been few periods of the Church's history when sacred song was allowed a more meagre part in the services of the House of God. The reasons for this were complex: Let me indicate a few. Partly they were political. The great debate then proceeding in the nation absorbed the public mind. The fortunes of the Church were so inextricably implicated in the issues that were at stake, that the pulpit became a chief forum of the controversy ; polemical preaching became the rule, and worship itself took its tone from the fierce passions of the time.

  • The Place of Dr Robert Lee in the Developments in the Public
    Dr Robert Lee 31 The Place of Dr Robert Lee in the Developments in the Public Worship of the Church of Scotland 1840-1940M Our generation has occupied itself with re-examining the character and work of many prominent Victorians. It is timely that we should now re-examine the work of Dr Robert Lee, who has often been regarded as the father of the liturgical revival within the Church of Scotland during the last hundred years ; for Lee in himself epitomizes the urges and misunderstandings which largely shaped the movement for some fifty years. When Dr Lee's critics accused him of attempting to save the Established Church by piling up prayer books as buttresses to support her cracked and crumbling walls, they were pointing to factors in Lee's conduct which must be recognized now, if we are to assess his work. It was primarily as an ecclesiastical statesman, and not as some cloistered liturgical scholar who longed for the riches of sacramental and catholic worship, that Lee entered the field. He was possessed of considerable liturgical know- ledge. While his contemporaries were agreed that his extemporary prayers were so fine that he had much less reason than any of his fellow ministers to seek the aid of a book of prayers, yet the discerning saw in Lee one who was fitted neither by gifts nor temperament to be the reformer who should set right the Church's devotions. (2) Lee was a man of the world. He was known for his liberal theological views. He trembled for the future of a Church which had been dangerously weakened by the Disruption of 1843, and which was continuing to lose many intelligent and influential members to the growing Scottish Episcopal Church.
