  • How Useful Are Episcopal Ordination Lists As a Source for Medieval English Monastic History?
    Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. , No. , July . © Cambridge University Press doi:./S How Useful are Episcopal Ordination Lists as a Source for Medieval English Monastic History? by DAVID E. THORNTON Bilkent University, Ankara E-mail: [email protected] This article evaluates ordination lists preserved in bishops’ registers from late medieval England as evidence for the monastic orders, with special reference to religious houses in the diocese of Worcester, from to . By comparing almost , ordination records collected from registers from Worcester and neighbouring dioceses with ‘conven- tual’ lists, it is concluded that over per cent of monks and canons are not named in the extant ordination lists. Over half of these omissions are arguably due to structural gaps in the surviving ordination lists, but other, non-structural factors may also have contributed. ith the dispersal and destruction of the archives of religious houses following their dissolution in the late s, many docu- W ments that would otherwise facilitate the prosopographical study of the monastic orders in late medieval England and Wales have been irre- trievably lost. Surviving sources such as the profession and obituary lists from Christ Church Canterbury and the records of admissions in the BL = British Library, London; Bodl.

  • Crowned with Authority Because of His Grace We Have Been Given Authority to Defeat Satan and Advance the Kingdom of God!
    Crowned with Authority Because of His grace we have been given authority to defeat satan and advance the kingdom of God! British Monarchy: Kingdom: United Kingdom & 16 Commonwealth states (Australia, Canada, Jamaica, Saint Lucia etc.) Ceremony - Coronation: is the act of placement or bestowal of a crown upon a monarch's head. The coronation usually takes place several months after the death of the previous monarch, as it is considered a joyous occasion that would be inappropriate while mourning continues. The Imperial State Crown: is one of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom and symbolizes the sovereignty of the monarch. - Heavy Weight: The Imperial State Crown is 12.4 inches tall and weighs 2.3 lbs (heavy). Queen of England advised that she has to hold her head up when wearing it because if not if feels like you would break your neck. Its purple velvet cap is trimmed with ermine. The frame is made of gold, silver and platinum, and decorated with 2,868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, and 5 rubies. - Great Value (Glory): Usually, the crown is taken to the Palace of Westminster under armed guard in its own carriage and placed in the Robing Room, where the Queen puts on her robes and puts on the crown before giving her speech to Parliament. We may never sit on the thrown in England, but we are crowned and sit from a place of authority! We are citizens of a Heavenly Kingdom Philippians 3:20 New American Standard Bible 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; - You get the rights of where you live 1 Peter 2:9 The Passion Translation 9 But you are God’s chosen treasure—priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones.

  • The Crown of Life by Martin G
    The Crown of Life by Martin G. Collins (https://www.cgg.org) The Crown Of Life by Martin G. Collins Forerunner, September 1995 Some call the Tower of London "the Cradle of the English Race." It is well named, for it was there that England had her beginnings as a nation. It is the oldest palace, fortress and prison in Europe, dating back 900 years. Housed within its walls in the underground Jewel House beneath the Waterloo Barracks are the Crown Jewels of England. The incomparable collection of crowns, scepters, orbs, swords and other regalia is displayed in a specially designed vault and display case surrounded by heavy security. As one walks into the vault, one can see the sparkling light reflecting off the jewels in the crowns and onto the dark walls of the vault's interior. The gasps of "oohs" and "ahs" of the visitors getting their first glimpse at the Crown Jewels enhances the breathtaking sight of the dazzling golden, jeweled crowns. The most recognized is the Imperial State Crown worn by the king or queen for the annual opening of Parliament and other state functions. It is framed in gold with silver settings for the jewels. The crown weighs two pounds thirteen ounces, and boasts 2,873 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds and 5 rubies, including one huge ruby and one huge sapphire. The jewels are of great antiquity and historical significance. The oldest jewel is Edward the Confessor's sapphire, believed to have been worn by him in a ring (c. AD 1050).

  • Accompanying Label Information for Respect the Dress Exhibit
    Accompanying Label Content for Virtual Tour of Respect the Dress: Clothing and Activism In U.S. Women’s History Section I: Introduction R.E.S.P.E.C.T. the Dress: Clothing and Activism in U.S. Women’s History The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. It took many decades for advocates to reach the successful passage of federal-level suffrage for women in the United States. In the century that followed, challenges toward women’s right to vote, to hold office, and to participate fully and completely in American society remain. Advocates for and against women’s expanded rights have used clothing to define or support their mission. From bloomer costumes to bra burning, the story of women’s rights activism in the United States is filled with references to how women dress. Radical fashion choices are often given as examples revealing the equally radical behaviors of activists. Yet few women adopted the dress reform style known as bloomers in the 1850s or burned their bras during the women’s liberation movement protests in the 1970s. The 19th Amendment legally prohibited voter discrimination based on sex. Suffragists, the name U.S. activists advocating for women’s voting rights called themselves, played on and influenced the 1910s fashion for white lacy dresses, allowing them to express affiliation with women’s rights advocacy while also maintaining a less radical choice in dress. Suffragists used the three colors of white, purple, and yellow for sashes, buttons, and flags. Feminists in the 1970s and in the new millennium continue to wear these colors as a signal of support to earlier activists.
