Parliament and the Church of England: The Making of Ecclesiastical Law Asma Said Khan Dissertation Submitted for the PhD Degree 2011 School of Law Kings College London Page 1 of 327 ABSTRACT This thesis examines one of the pillars of the constitutional link between Church and State. It focuses on the unique process by which Church legislations (Measures) are drafted by a legislative body of the Church (the General Synod) and presented to Parliament for approval. The thesis looks at the role played by Parliament and examines how well it performs this role. The responsibility for scrutinising Measures lies with a joint committee of both houses, the Ecclesiastical Committee. This Committee cannot amend a Measure and can only declare it expedient and present it before the House for approval or reject it. An analysis of this legislative process is missing in the current literature. This thesis aims to fill this gap and provide a study supported by case studies of this important legislative process. The first part of this thesis analyses this process in detail together with the role of the Ecclesiastical Committee. The case studies illustrate how parliamentary scrutiny of ecclesiastical measures has become more interventionist than the restrictive framework set up by the 1919 Enabling Act. The Appointment of Bishops Measure 1984 was passed by a deeply-divided Ecclesiastical Committee. Once the Measure reached the House of Commons, members of the Committee who had opposed it, presented their views before the House. The Measure was rejected by the Commons. The Clergy Ordination Measure 1989 faced a difficult passage through the Committee, as members were unhappy about the changed voting system used by the General Synod to pass this Measure. The Priests (Ordination of Women) Measure 1993 saw the Church having to concede to demands to include opponents to this Measure in the joint consultation process. The final case study is the Churchwardens Measure 2001, which was rejected twice by the Ecclesiastical Committee. Eventually the Measure was passed after the Church accepted all its recommendations. The third section with Comment and Analysis on the research addresses the wider context of Church-state relations today and the pressures and challenges upon the future of establishment and, with it, the place of Parliament in the making of ecclesiastical law. The greater scrutiny of ecclesiastical legislation has arguably ensured that the Church of England has been more open to broader opinions in society. On the other hand, the way in which the legislative procedure works has also sometimes enabled narrow interests in Parliament and in the Church to set the agenda or to block change. Although reform in the immediate future is unlikely, the link between Parliament and the Synod has been the object of criticism in some political and religious quarters (particularly from those who support disestablishment). At some point administrative changes to ecclesiastical law-making is likely. The thesis concludes that given the important role played by Parliament in legislating for the Church, misguided or badly structured reforms can have serious consequences for the established Church and the Monarchy to which it is so closely linked. Page 2 of 327 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to my supervisor Professor Blackburn for his encouragement and support. My interest in this topic began as an undergraduate studying Advanced Constitution Law with Professor Blackburn. It has taken time to get this far. The journey has had its ups and downs but has been very fulfilling intellectually and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to research a topic that really interested me. I would like to thank my examiner for the upgrade viva, Professor Paul Mitchell, for his suggestions on how I could narrow the field of research on this subject. I am also grateful to Charlotte Smith for explaining the finer points of Church of English History to me. And I would also like to thank Professor Penny Green, for her emotional support during difficult times. I am grateful to Dr. Cian Murphy for always being available to answer my questions and for being so positive in all his email communications with me in the final stages of writing up. And thank you to Annette Lee, for dealing with all my administrative issues with such patience and efficiency. I would like to thank Michael Scott-Joynt, the Bishop of Winchester and Colin Buchanan, the then Bishop of Woolwich for giving me interviews before I began work on my thesis. I am grateful for their time and willingness to answer questions. It was a wonderful opportunity to listen to two Church of England clerics with very different views on the relationship of Church and State. Finally on a personal note, I would like to thank R. Claude, Sue Hubble, Mushtaq Khan, Asha Pradhan and Shefaly Yogendra for their advice and support. I dedicate this thesis to my two boys, Ariz and Fariz.

Some of the invested funds clearly involve unethical enterprises. Investigations into this statement are based on biblical principles and historical examples and progress through time to consider diverse influences involving the Church and its money. The aim of my thesis is to assess the impact of Church investments within a world of economics that encourages the accumulation of wealth yet often ignores the consequences for the Church and their effect upon the world. I begin my research by examining the principles for financial relationships and systems as established within the Bible.

  • Catholicism and the Judiciary in Ireland, 1922-1960
    IRISH JUDICIAL STUDIES JOURNAL 1 CATHOLICISM AND THE JUDICIARY IN IRELAND, 1922-1960 Abstract: This article examines evidence of judicial deference to Catholic norms during the period 1922-1960 based on a textual examination of court decisions and archival evidence of contact between Catholic clerics and judges. This article also examines legal judgments in the broader historical context of Church-State studies and, argues, that the continuity of the old orthodox system of law would not be easily superseded by a legal structure which reflected the growing pervasiveness of Catholic social teaching on politics and society. Author: Dr. Macdara Ó Drisceoil, BA, LLB, Ph.D, Barrister-at-Law Introduction The second edition of John Kelly’s The Irish Constitution was published with Sir John Lavery’s painting, The Blessing of the Colours1 on the cover. The painting is set in a Church and depicts a member of the Irish Free State army kneeling on one knee with his back arched over as he kneels down facing the ground. He is deep in prayer, while he clutches a tricolour the tips of which fall to the floor. The dominant figure in the painting is a Bishop standing confidently above the solider with a crozier in his left hand and his right arm raised as he blesses the soldier and the flag. To the Bishop’s left, an altar boy holds a Bible aloft. The message is clear: the Irish nation kneels facing the Catholic Church in docile piety and devotion. The synthesis between loyalty to the State and loyalty to the Catholic Church are viewed as interchangeable in Lavery’s painting.

Our Vision for the Role We are looking and praying for an enthusiastic, energetic and passionate Pioneer Minister to devise and lead our drive to engage with the local community and particularly build relationships in the areas of the parish which we feel have been neglected over past years, bringing unchurched people to faith in Jesus. This is an important role as part of our Vision 2022. The parish is located within the central area of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, West Midlands towards the eastern edge of the Birmingham Diocese. The centre of Birmingham is about 8 miles to the northwest and Coventry is about 15 miles to the east. The area and population of the parish are large for the Diocese of Birmingham. The Parish is roughly 4 miles across and 4 miles long and has a population of about 28,500. The majority of working age people are in employment with a large proportion being professional people working in industry, commerce, institutions or government. There are, however, poorer parts of our parish to which we have discerned a particular call to serve as well and we envisage this area of ministry to be included in the Pioneer Minister’s remit.

At the beginning of the reign, Protestant and Catholic controversialists in their publications concentrated upon whether the English Church could be considered to be a true Church; after the State began prosecuting seminary priests and their lay protectors for treason, the debate moved on to whether Catholics were being put to death exclusively for a political crime or sacrificing their lives solely for their faith.

God and Mrs Thatcher: Religion and Politics in 1980s Britain Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2010 Liza Filby University of Warwick University ID Number: 0558769 1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own. ……………………………………………… Date………… 2 Abstract The core theme of this thesis explores the evolving position of religion in the British public realm in the 1980s. Recent scholarship on modern religious history has sought to relocate Britain‟s „secularization moment‟ from the industrialization of the nineteenth century to the social and cultural upheavals of the 1960s. My thesis seeks to add to this debate by examining the way in which the established Church and Christian doctrine continued to play a central role in the politics of the 1980s. More specifically it analyses the conflict between the Conservative party and the once labelled „Tory party at Prayer‟, the Church of England. Both Church and state during this period were at loggerheads, projecting contrasting visions of the Christian underpinnings of the nation‟s political values. The first part of this thesis addresses the established Church.
