Primarily Connect is a community of people and our purpose is threefold: 1. To provide opportunities for fellowship for partners of those studying at Trinity College. 2. To provide support to one another, sharing our lives together and seeking God’s transformation in our lives. 3. To be a means by which our members can be equipped for their future ministry and to develop their own unique callings Our heart is to be a place where God can develop us for what he has prepared for us after life at Trinity. LIZ VENABLE SARAH GROVE PRESIDENT VICE-PRESIDENT THE CONNECT EXEC EMMA DINSMORE SAFEGUARDING ON FERGUSON F J AMILIES / SECRETARY R EP HANNA RUSSELL TREASURER A CONNECT WEEK Our week looks slightly different due to Covid-19 - so this is our rough guide to what a Connect week might look like this year. Please remember that none of this is set in stone. MONDAY mornings will hopefully be an opportunity to meet together in the chapel to engage in Bible study and prayer. We will start the main bible study at 11.00am and aim to finish at 12.30pm. Note for spouses with children: Usually there would be childcare (college kids) however this will not be possible for the foreseeable. Monday is a delegated study day for students but as it is down to students to manage their own time , college have agreed that your student partner is allowed to provide childcare whilst you come to Connect. We understand that this may not be possible or feasible for some of you so please note that if you cannot get childcare you can bring your children (there will be a few toys etc). FRIDAY COMMUNITY MORNING normally begins with Communion at 8.30am. College are looking to live stream this and there will be opportunities to tune in communally in the dining room. After communion, the whole community gather together for coffee before the students head off to their sessions, location and logistics TBC. Connect then continues to meet, we will hopefully use the games room as a cafe style base for adults and babe-in-arms. There will be an organised activity for adults with toddlers/children (such as a walk to the park or common) - you can of course grab drinks and snacks from the games room as and when. Note for spouses with children: Only one adult member in a household has to attend chapel on a Friday so your husband or wife is allowed to miss chapel to provide childcare onsite or at home so that you can tune in. It is worth noting that the service is not child friendly and it can be tough keeping little ones happy. There are occasionally all age communion services which are really great for the children to get involved in - we’ll let you know in advance. HOME GROUPS were meeting virtually towards the end of last year. We will continue this initially and start to meet face-to-face as rules relax. We gather centrally for RECONNECT which is an evening of extended prayer and worship and occasionally there will be additional teaching and prayer. This is normally in the chapel but may be virtual to start with - so you can sing your heart out from home! Lunch has, in previous years, been a great opportunity to be in community together, however, plans for lunch have yet to be confirmed and it’s unsure whether spouses and children can be included in the plans. Having said that - this may be something you can enjoy in subsequent years. COMMUNITY LIFE There are many other regular and one-off events that happen outside of the basic weekly structure. Here are some examples of our regular events: It’s best to check out the College and Connect Facebook pages for the latest news about what's going on. If there is something in particular that you are keen on and it isn’t already happening please feel free to post to the Connect Facebook page and round up some others who may be keen to get involved too! A TRINITY STUDENT WEEK Trinity students always have lots to keep them busy what with family life, placements and of course their studies. Here is an overview of what the standard student week: MONDAY Regular private study day for all students and faculty members. Attendance at chapel is optional on this day. However, during block weeks there will be teaching. Occasionally Mondays may be used for one-off events, particularly at the beginning of term. TUESDAY Teaching day starting from 9.10am to 5pm. Lectures will run for students that have selected those units. WEDNESDAY In the morning students meet together in their pastoral groups to reflect corporately and go on socials. The afternoon is usually kept free. And is when extra-curricular activities such as football take place - which is a great way for the students to let off steam midway through a busy week! THURSDAY Similar to Tuesday, i.e. 9.10am to 5pm: Lectures will run . FRIDAY Begins with Communion for all students at 08.30am, after Communion students continue to meet together for Trinity Community time. From 10.15 am, ordinands break into groups for Anglican Story. Afternoons for students will be used for one-off events, but are generally free for study. Chapel runs services every weekday morning at 08.30am and these are compulsory for Students (apart from Friday if providing childcare). The daily live stream of chapel will be widely available but provision for watching it communally will be reserved for Friday. STUDENT COMMITMENTS Outside of normal lectures, there are a few things going on that you might like to get your head around… COMBINED COMMUNION Once every half term, Trinity and the Baptist College combine for a Joint Eucharist. Check College notice boards for more information (this is often on a Wednesday). EXTRA EVENTS Each year there are various official College events that students are expected to attend: The Student Exec are involved in the Welcome Week at the very beginning of the Autumn term; Academic Awards Ceremony (Spring term) and Valedictory Service (summer term). There are also two College open days through the year and students are expected to help out at least one of them. COLLEGE JOB All students are given a College job – some within College time and sometimes outside of usual College hours. This job will average out as one hour a week. PLACEMENT Each student is placed in a church context where they will practice their preaching, leading services and witness first-hand what it’s like to lead a church. Whilst there is no expectation on spouses to also attend the church students are placed in, most do. Ordinands will also have a community placement during term time which is usually around a week’s worth of work over the course of the year and a ‘Contrasting Placement’ throughout June. This is a 4-week full time placement in a church usually with a different worship style to their regular church context. SAFETY The College is made up of a diverse community with varying needs and demands. As such there are, of course, guidelines that we need to adhere to. Please make sure you sign the visitors’ book whenever you enter the College premises. The exception to this is when attending a Connect event, where there should be a fire regulation sign-in sheet in the room where you are first meeting. The College Child Protection Policy is relevant to all events organised by, or on behalf of, the College and may be viewed on the internal website. The CCPP requires an up to date DBS and applies to all students and staff and permits them to supervise children. OPPORTUNITIES TO STUDY Trinity College provides part-time study opportunities for spouses and the opportunity to ‘audit’ lectures for free. PART-TIME COURSES AT TRINITY Trinity is currently offering the part time Certificate in Theology, Ministry and Mission, accredited by the University of Durham. You can study this over 2 or 3 years. It will initially be taught virtually but may become face-to-face as the year progresses. The fee for spouses is half the price of the normal fee and is £1,225 for the first year if studied over 2 years. Another option is to study for the Foundation Award which is 60 credits and can be studied over 1 or 2 years. Modules are chosen from those offered in the certificate. Level 4 modules include: Introduction to the New Testament, Introduction to the Old Testament, Introducing Theological Reflection, Introduction to Aspects of Pastoral Care, a brief introduction to Christian Doctrine, Introduction to Church History, Elements of Ministry and Mission and Introduction to Christian Ethics. If you would like further information, please contact Jo Norman on 0117 968 0253 or by email: [email protected]. You can also visit the college website where you’ll find application forms to fill in too. AUDITING LECTURES Spouses of full-time students are welcome to virtually attend (audit) any lectures at Trinity, free of charge. This could either be during the daytime or on a Tuesday evening.

  • Hens Lay, People Lie: a Novel and an Exegesis
    HENS LAY, PEOPLE LIE A Novel and an Exegesis Beyond Epistolarity: The Warp, the Weft and the Loom Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Glenice Joy Whitting Swinburne University of Technology Faculty of Higher Education, Lilydale 2012 Abstract This thesis is comprised of two components: 'Hens Lay, People Lie', a novel, and an exegesis, Beyond Epistolarity the Warp, the Weft and the Loom. Together they propose that 'creative epistolarity', namely imaginative writing with factual material, including personal letters, emails and journals, provides women with a safe space where knowledge can be intuited, articulated or performed. In this space, women find their own creative voice, write their stories and in turn, understand themselves. 'Hens Lay, People Lie' draws heavily on the epistolary genre but aims to move beyond that genre by using an auto/biographical and creative epistolary style better suited to reveal emotion and character. The novel illustrates that creative epistolarity intersects with feminism and postmodernism and is uniquely placed to empower women to write their stories. The exegesis discusses theories, methodologies, fictional techniques and creative decisions made during the writing of the novel. Key writerly choices are examined: the choice of an epistolary novel and the importance of creative epistolarity as a way of knowing the self as well as production of knowledge. The research process is practice-led research informed by personal correspondence and personal history in the autoethnographic mode. The exegesis presents a reflective examination of existing works in the genre of epistolary fiction and calls on the practices of exponents of the epistolary form such as Elizabeth Jolley, Nancy Turner and Lionel Shriver.

  • Press Fact Sheet – Literary Bristol
    Destination Bristol 53 Queen Square I Bristol I BS1 4LH I www.VisitBristol.co.uk Media Contact: [email protected] I Tel: 0117 946 2203 PRESS FACT SHEET – LITERARY BRISTOL As you wander through the streets of Bristol it is easy to see how writers have been inspired by this beautiful and diverse city. Bristol is well known for being the birthplace of Robert Southey. Southey, a close friend of Wordsworth and Coleridge, whom he met in Bristol, later became a Poet Laureate. Although he only spent his early years living in Bristol, his time here had a lifelong influence on his work. William Wordsworth was also influenced by Bristol, it is said that he wrote the famous poem 'Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey' in Bristol at the house of Joseph Cottle who owned a book shop on the High Street. Samuel Taylor Coleridge launched his magazine, 'The Watchman,' in Bristol in 1795 at The Rummer hotel, in the heart of the Old City. Not all the poetry in Bristol has a happy history. The young Bristolian Thomas Chatterton, now a respected and revered contributor to Britain's literary past, was born and brought up near Redcliffe, where his family had held the office of sexton at St Mary Redcliffe for nearly 200 years. Educated at Colston's School, Chatterton later moved to London to find fame and wealth. After finding that he was not fitting in with his peers and failing to get his poems published, he took his own life at the young age of 17.

  • Menagerie to Me / My Neighbor Be”: Exotic Animals and American Conscience, 1840-1900
    “MENAGERIE TO ME / MY NEIGHBOR BE”: EXOTIC ANIMALS AND AMERICAN CONSCIENCE, 1840-1900 Leslie Jane McAbee A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Eliza Richards Timothy Marr Matthew Taylor Ruth Salvaggio Jane Thrailkill © 2018 Leslie Jane McAbee ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Leslie McAbee: “Menagerie to me / My Neighbor be”: Exotic Animals and American Conscience, 1840-1900 (Under the direction of Eliza Richards) Throughout the nineteenth century, large numbers of living “exotic” animals—elephants, lions, and tigers—circulated throughout the U.S. in traveling menageries, circuses, and later zoos as staples of popular entertainment and natural history education. In “Menagerie to me / My Neighbor be,” I study literary representations of these displaced and sensationalized animals, offering a new contribution to Americanist animal studies in literary scholarship, which has largely attended to the cultural impact of domesticated and native creatures. The field has not yet adequately addressed the influence that representations of foreign animals had on socio-cultural discourses, such as domesticity, social reform, and white supremacy. I examine how writers enlist exoticized animals to variously advance and disrupt the human-centered foundations of hierarchical thinking that underpinned nineteenth-century tenets of civilization, particularly the belief that Western culture acts as a progressive force in a comparatively barbaric world. Both well studied and lesser-known authors, however, find “exotic” animal figures to be wily for two seemingly contradictory reasons.
