  • The Reserved Sacrament – Some Thoughts (Written As a Memorial to Bishop John Mantle Formerly Bishop of Brechin)
    The Reserved Sacrament – some thoughts (Written as a memorial to Bishop John Mantle formerly bishop of brechin) 1. Introduction The history of the Reserved Sacrament is almost as old as Christendom. Gregory Dix made it clear in his book The Shape of the Liturgy that the principal reason for reservation was to symbolise the liturgical presidency of a bishop within his church. As the church grew and bishops were perforce required to warrant their presbyters with authority to consecrate the sacramental species, deacons carried portions of the Eucharistic bread (the fermentum) from the bishop’s celebration to be included with that of the presbyters.1 This action was undertaken as a token that they were in communion with their bishop and to demonstrate that the bishop remained the high-priest of the community and its principal, liturgical minister, whether he was present or not. This use was attested at least thirty years before reservation was employed in providing daily communion (by about AD120). Dix explained that it was also a common practice in the pre-Nicene church for the communicating faithful to take portions of the consecrated bread home with them so that they could make their communions on mornings when the liturgy was not celebrated.2 By the third century, deacons carried the sacrament to those who could not get to the Sunday service; this activity was later assumed by acolytes or assistants. Dix described the basic use of the reserved sacrament as being essential for the daily communion of the faithful, not necessarily for the communion of the sick.3 2.

PREFACE. Of the numerous biographers of the poet Burns, few have dilated on his lineage. Some doubtless felt that his position might not be elevated by any pedigree, however famous. Others may have been content to hold that himself being in lowly circumstances, any inquiry as to his progenitors would be useless and unprofitable. By his biographer Dr Currie he is described as " in reality a peasant." What in respect of descent Burns really was these Memoirs will show. Bemotely sprung from a landed stock, his im- mediate ancestors were yeomen, at first opvdent, latterly the reverse. The family had produced another poet, the author of "Thrummy Cap;" but decided indications of intellectual activity did not appear in the house till subsequent to the marriage of the poet's paternal grandfather. The wife of this person was of the family of Keith of Craig, a branch of the house of Keith-Marischal.

The server who carries the Cross (“crucis”) in Church processions is called the “Crucifer”. Often the Crucifer is specially clothed in a decorated garment with sleeves called a “tunicle”. Why? I suppose, with the Cross carried at the head of the procession, it adds some colour, but I think there’s more to it than that. There’s something special about carrying the Cross. We vest the Crucifer with his own special garment to emphasise that particular idea. But the original Crucifer was not such a pretty sight. And I don’t mean the Emperor. Our Lord was Himself the original Crucifer In the Beginning… – the One who carried the Cross to Calvary.

It contains the Marriage Registers of thirteen parishes, besides additional Marriages at Castleacre for the seven- teenth century, taken from the Bishop's Transcripts. The eighteenth century Registers of Castleacre were printed in the first volume of this Series. It will be noticed that the Registers of several parishes are brought down to 1837 instead of 1812 and the Editors hope in the future volumes of the Norfolk Series to print all the Registers down to 1837, which, being the date when Civil Registration began, seems a more appropriate and convenient stopping place than 18 12. It has not been thought needful to print the entries verbatim. They are reduced to a common form, and the following contractions have been freely used : w.=widower or widow. p.=of the parish of. co.=in the county of.
