  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

  • Chaplain to the Archbishop of York Recruitment Pack July 2021
    Chaplain to the Archbishop of York Recruitment Pack July 2021 1 Overview The vision for the Church of England in the 2020s is that we become a Christ centred and Jesus shaped Church. To be Christ centred requires a spiritual and theological renewal. The phrase ‘Jesus shaped’ is borrowed from the Anglican Communion and describes how our life in Christ should be shaped by the five marks of mission. From this central vision three strategic objectives have emerged – • to be a church of missionary disciples • to be a church where mixed ecology is the norm • to be a church that is younger and more diverse Nationally, the Archbishop of York leads on this agenda. It therefore shapes the Living Christ’s Story agenda of the York diocese and the agenda for our work here at Bishopthorpe, both to support this national and diocesan ministry, but also to help Archbishop Stephen identify specific priorities for his own ministry, particularly here in the northern province. At Bishopthorpe we have aligned these ideas around a single phrase from the Lord’s Prayer: Your kingdom come on earth as in heaven. This is shaping an agenda for the Palace itself, enhancing the way we welcome groups and how we use the building and its beautiful grounds for hospitality, debate, dialogue and encounter with God. It also shapes Archbishop Stephen’s personal priorities of - • Prayer • Pilgrimage • Teaching and evangelism, particularly through missionary journeys across the north when that is possible • Shaping a Christian narrative of hope for the nation, and particularly in the north Working with other members of the leadership team at Bishopthorpe and with the York Diocesan Leadership Team, the Chaplain will have a particular role to support the Archbishop in his ministry in the York diocese and across the Northern Province, particularly providing spiritual, liturgical, pastoral and theological support Bishopthorpe Palace Bishopthorpe Palace is located in the village of Bishopthorpe which sits 3 miles south of the City of York.
