  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).

Transmitting to posterity the acts of those who have deserved well of their country, has in all ages been countenanced by persons of public spirit and learning, and I should not presume to take this liberty were I conscious of advancing any particular incon= sistent with the utmost truth and impartiality. Our nobles, whatever imperfections some of their members have displayed, have gained universal applause among all ranks of people for their gracious affability, candor and humanity. Even their enemies have ad= mired those public and private virtues which distin= guished them in learning and solid judgment; and what may seem paradoxical to many, they have generally stood for the maintenance of an equal balance between the prerogative of the crown and the legal rights of the people; and how many have suffered on that account our histories show. n? JOHNSON. General Sir William Johnson, the eldest son of Christopher Johnson, Esq., of Warrenstown, by his wife Anne, a sister of Admiral Sir Peter Warren, was born in Ireland about 1715. Owing to what the General termed " a family dispute as to my marriage " he went to the American colonies where he immediately took over the management of the estates of his uncle, Sir Peter Warren, in the valley of the Mohawk. Here he first established himself upon a tract of land on the south side of the Mohawk River and about twenty miles west of the City of Schenectady, which he named Warrenburgh.

I say 'late September,' because it is usually a Sunday near 20 September, the official date of the Dedication. But what is Dedication! On 20 September 1987, St Mary’s was dedicated by the suffragan bishop, the Right Reverend Edward Holland. He blessed the building and pointed out why this chapel or church is a special place. When we think of it, we can imagine a building that will hold a congregation together and be the focal point of the life of the Chaplaincy. It is usually a very solemn celebration. Marking out such an occasion is important. For St Mary’s this was nearly 30 years ago and from that time on, there has been an Anglican presence in the East of the Netherlands. It is not only Anglicans who have found their way to the chapel, but others have also found a home here.

THOMAS WARREN F. R. S. A. IRELAND "Those who do not look upon themselves as a link connecting the past with the future, do not perform their duty to the world."-DANIEL WEBSTER PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION £All riglzts reserved] A HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE WARREN FAMILY To THE ~IEMBERS OF THE VARIO US BRANCHES OF THE ANCIENT AND NOBLE FAMILY OF WARREN AND THOSE RELATED TO THEM BY THE COMPILER THOMAS WAR REN PREFACE SOME years ago, having retired from professional duties owing to failing health, I began to trace my own family pedigree, without any intention of writing a book; but finding the study of Genealogy so fascinating, I was led to extend my researches to other branches of the old and honoured name of Warren. The materials I have collected, after long and arduous labour, are considered by friends to be worthy of record as well as useful and interesting, not only to those of the name and kindred now living, but important as a basis to work from for others who may afterwards wish to enter upon this field of research and add to the information already acquired. Hence the volume now submitted to my readers. In this work, which has been to me a labour of love, I have received much sympathy and valuable assistance from members of this great and widely-dispersed family, to whom I return my grateful thanks.

  • An Ethical Evaluation of the Historical Significance of Proprietary Chapels
    POTCHEFSTROOMSE UNlVERSlTElT VIR CHRISTELIKE HO~RONDERWYS in association with Greenwich School of Theology U.K. An Ethical Evaluation of the Historical Significance of Proprietary Chapels Albert Pomfret MA, MTh, BSC Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Phitosophiae Doctor Theologiae at the Potchefstroomse Universiteit vir Christelike Hoer Onderwys Promoter G.S.T.: The Revd. Dr. A. Munden co Promoter P.U. for C.H.E.: Prof. dr. J.M. Vorster Potchefstroom 2002. SUMMARY. Proprietary chapels have been in existence from 1642 to the present time (2002). There is one in the Diocese of London, another in the Diocese of Southwark and half-a-dozen in the rest of the country. Ministers of proprietary chapels were required to be ordained clergy of the Church of England. The motives for establishing a proprietary chapel varied from wanting to preach the Gospel to finding employment for a particular cleric and also to financial investment. Ethically some of these motives were suspect but no doubt the chapels met a need when the Church of England lacked accommod~tionfor the expanding population. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries there were more than 500 clergy who held appointments in these chapels in the Diocese of London. Mostly they were highly motivated and the few who were not, either moved to other appointments or had legal proceeding taken against them. The Book of Common Prayer (1662) was in use in these chapels so lessons were read from both Old and New Testaments. Sermons were sometimes preached with variation in quality but, as has been pointed out, Gill (1999: 261) claimed "that churchgoers are relatively, yet significantly, different from nonchurchgoers .
