  • Baptist North American Phase Communiqué
    North American Phase 2003 Communiqué The North American phase of the international theological conversations between Anglicans and Baptists was held at Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia, from 10 - 12 September 2003. This regional meeting follows five previous phases held in Norwich (for Europe) in 2000, Yangon (for Asia/Pacific) in 2001, Nairobi (for Africa), in 2002, Santiago,Chile (for Latin America) and Nassau (for the Caribbean) in January 2003. Participants came from the United States and Canada, representing their respective Churches and joined the members of the "Continuation Committee" which is conducting these regional gatherings on behalf of the Baptist World Alliance and the Anglican Communion. The Anglican and Baptist representatives gave an overview of the life of their respective communions in North America. Seven substantive papers were presented on Common Challenges facing Anglicans and Baptists in North America, Baptist Life in North America, A North American Baptist Understanding of Continuity, two papers on The Nature and Role of the Church from Anglican and Baptist perspectives and paired papers on Authority. The plenary discussion drew together insights from the American and Canadian contexts and related them to the themes emerging from previous regional conversations, namely: continuity and story; the meaning of recognition; mission and ministry; baptism and Christian initiation; membership of the Church; the Eucharist or Lord's Supper; oversight and episcope; and confessing the apostolic faith. Discussion focussed on how each tradition handled diversity of views within their tradition, and the nature of denominational allegiance as well as the diversity between the two communions. The meeting began with a celebration of an Anglican Eucharist in the local parish church, and included shared prayer and devotions conducted by Baptists and Anglicans.

  • 'The Wealth of Nations: the Health of Society': 60 Years of the Wolfson
    ‘The Wealth of Nations: the Health of Society’: 60 Years of the Wolfson Foundation Neil MacGregor OM, Director, The British Museum Lecture given at Wolfson College, Oxford, 8 June 2015, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Wolfson Foundation Janet thank you very much indeed for that generous introduction, and thank you above all for inviting me to pay tribute to the Foundation and to your father and grandfather, and what the Foundation has done and what it represents. This is as you all know a year of anniversaries, and indeed June the month of anniversaries: 800 years of Magna Carta and two hundred years since the Battle of Waterloo, which has also cast along historical shadow. It is also, and for this evening’s purposes, above all, the 60th anniversary of the creation of the Wolfson Foundation, and the history of that Foundation is in the excellent booklet that has just been published, but I would like to pay tribute to its two founding figures, its founding Chairmen: the grandfather and the father of the current Chairman, Janet Wolfson de Botton. Isaac Wolfson, who was born in poverty in Glasgow in 1897, came to London to make a fortune with Great Universal Stores, and used that fortune, as you know, to endow the Foundation. And his son, Leonard Wolfson, who continued not just GUS, but also the Foundation, developed it remarkably. I never knew Isaac Wolfson, but I did frequently meet Leonard, and was the recipient of enormous generosity and encouragement, and also extremely testing conversations. It was always the first thing: this extraordinarily generous man, already committed to helping the institution that one was trying to ask for money for, always began with a very firm and ringing endorsement that the one thing he would not pay was VAT.
