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.

  • English Attitudes Toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs C.1680-1740
    English Attitudes toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs c.1680-1740 By Sugiko Nishikawa A Dissertation for the degree of Ph. D. in the University of London 1998 B CL LO\D0 UNIV Abstract Title: English Attitudes toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs c.1680-1740 Author: Sugiko Nishikawa It has long been accepted that the Catholic threat posed by Louis X1V played an important role in English politics from the late seventeenth century onwards. The expansionist politics of Louis and his attempts to eliminate Protestants within his sphere of influence enhanced the sense of a general crisis of Protestantism in Europe. Moreover news of the persecution of foreign Protestants stimulated a great deal of anti-popish sentiment as well as a sense of the need for Protestant solidarity. The purpose of my studies is to explore how the English perceived the persecution of continental Protestants and to analyse what it meant for the English to be involved in various relief programmes for them from c. 1680 to 1740. Accordingly, I have examined the church briefs which were issued to raise contributions for the relief of continental Protestants, and which serve as evidence of Protestant internationalism against the perceived Catholic threat of the day. I have considered the spectrum of views concerning continental Protestants within the Church; in some attitudes evinced by clergymen, there was an element which might be called ecclesiastical imperialism rather than internationalism. At the same time I have examined laymen's attitudes; this investigation of the activities of the SPCK, one of the most influential voluntary societies of the day, which was closely concerned with continental Protestants, fulfills this purpose.

  • The Incoherence of the Anglican Communion
    118_3 28/9/04 2:59 pm Page 235 235 The Incoherence of the Anglican Communion Andrew Atherstone Three tumultuous weeks in May and June, 2003 will go down in history as a defining moment in the development of the Anglican Communion. Three crises, in three separate countries, stirred up fiery debate about homosexual practice. Yet, more significantly, each has brought to light fundamental and irreconcilable divisions which exist between Anglicans. These distressing controversies have forced us to face the uncomfortable truth that the Anglican Communion, as presently organised, has no theological coherence. On 20 May, 2003, Downing Street announced that Jeff rey John (a vocal advocate for the blessing of same-sex unions) was to be the new Bishop of Reading, to the c o n s t e rnation of orthodox Anglicans in the Oxford diocese. Next, on 28 May, a gay couple in Vancouver had their relationship blessed using a liturgy authorized by Michael Ingham (Bishop of New Westminster), as mandated by his diocesan synod. This innovation, James Packer warned, undermines the Christian gospel and is ‘a watershed decision for world Anglicanism, for it changes the nature of Anglicanism itself’ .1 Then, on 7 June, the Diocese of New Hampshire elected Gene Robinson (who left his wife for a male partner) as its next bishop. His consecration went ahead despite protests from Christians around the world and the Anglican primates’ urgent warning that ECUSA’s action would ‘tear the fabric of our Communion at its deepest level’.2 These events are well documented. They have shaken the Anglican Communion to its core.

Pp. xiv 4- 401, preface, index. $12.99 (paper). Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1980 to 1991, is given unconventional treatment by Humphrey Carpenter in this bestselling biography. Seldom are the lives of (living) clerics probed in the relaxed and sometimes slightly irreverent way that Carpenter chooses to in this comprehensive study of Runcie. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which deals with Runcie’s life until 1980 and his enthronement as archbishop of Canterbury, the second with his years as spiritual leader of the Church of England and the seventy million members of the Anglican communion worldwide. Runcie was born and raised in suburban Liverpool in the home of an anti-clerical father (“Never trust parsons or policemen”) and a hair­ dresser mother. His higher education was interrupted by WWII, during which he served in the Scots Guards. Eventually, Runcie graduated from Oxford with a first class degree in 1948.

  • The Metaphysical Realism of E
    THE METAPHYSICAL REALISM OF E. L. MASCALL AND ANGLICAN DOCTRINE Submitted by ROBERT IRELAND B.A., B.Th., M.Th., M.R.Ed., Dip. Ed., A.Mus.A. A Thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Theology Faculty of Arts Australian Catholic University McAuley Brisbane 2010 This Thesis contains no material published elsewhere or extracted in whole or in part from a thesis by which I have qualified for or been awarded another degree or diploma. No parts of this Thesis have been submitted towards the award of any other degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution. No other person‟s work has been used without due acknowledgment in the main text of the Thesis. ……………………………………………………………… iii This Thesis gratefully acknowledges the support and inspiration of Dr D. Casey and Dr A. T. Kelly and is dedicated to Margaret iv ABSTRACT AIMS The twentieth century Anglican theologian, E. L. Mascall, made an important contribution to Anglican theology by incorporating into it the philosophical doctrine of metaphysical realism, developed by Thomas Aquinas. The Thesis asks about the relationship of Mascall‟s theology to Anglicanism and how it may be of benefit to Anglican theology, particularly since he represented an increasingly marginalized party within the Church, that is, Anglo-Catholicism, and also since his writings seem somewhat neglected today. SCOPE In order to assess the significance of Mascall‟s approach within the world of contemporary Anglican theology, this Thesis examines the question of whether the Thirty Nine Articles of Religion – which are salient representative texts of official Anglicanism and a significant exemplar of the so-called Anglican method – intentionally incorporate an ontological understanding into such fundamental accounts as those of the doctrine of God and of Christ.

Some more recent historians, on the other hand, have described him as a defender of orthodox Protestantism. The present study was stimulated by seeing these divergent opinions about Tillotson, so one of the main questions is the relationship between reason and religion in Tillotson’s theology.
