In these days, I believe that God is refining and honing His Church. This process of ministry development and rationalisation, whether we yet realise it or not, is working to make us more intuitive and nimble as a Church. Rather than lockdown being a crisis for the Church, as some have said, it is actually the preparing of our seed bed, which will soon position us for vitality and growth. Changing Seasons We are now closing a chapter, and a new one is opening before us.

One puts the future of the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East in jeopardy; the other, the future of the diocese itself.

  • George Abbot 1562-1633 Archbishop of Canterbury
    English Book Owners in the Seventeenth Century: A Work in Progress Listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: • What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? • How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? • How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. Evidence of book ownership in this period is manifested in a variety of ways, which need to be brought together if we are to develop that fuller picture.

  • Archdeacons News
    THE ARCHDEACONS’ FORUM for the Church of England and the Church in Wales Archdeacons’ News Bulletin no. 41 February 2019 from Norman Boakes Archdeacons’ National Development Officer It was wonderful to see so many archdeacons at the national conference Dealers in Hope in January. I think it was our largest attendance for very many years and the atmosphere and collegiality were inspiring and affirming. We were also blessed with very good speakers. The worship framework offered by Hopeweavers really did weave prayer, worship and hope through the conference. Thank you to all those who attended and participated so fully and thank you also to those who have shared their reflections on the conference already. If there is anything you would like the Forum Executive to consider when we review the event and start the planning for the next one, please send it to me by the end of February. In case anyone is interested, Jessica Martin has sent me an electronic copy of her address Hope, Desire and the Unexpected which she gave during our Closing Eucharist. If you would like a copy, just let me know. For those of us with Welsh connections, this year is one of those rare occasions when we can celebrate St David’s Day outside of Lent. Whatever you are planning for Lent, I hope it will be a time which allows for space and renewal, and an opportunity to continue reflections on how we may better be Dealers in Hope.

  • The Haldon Team
    THE HALDON TEAM Vacancy for Team Rector Growing in prayer Making new disciples The Archdeacon’s Foreword Serving the people of Devon with joy The Ven. Andrew Beane, Archdeacon of Exeter e. [email protected] t. 01392 425577 Thank You Thank you for your interest in the role of Team Rector of the Haldon Mission Community. This post presents an excellent opportunity to work with a mixed group of parishes centered on the seaside town of Teignmouth and its two ancient parishes, but reaching out to the rural parishes in the local area. We would hope that the right candidate will bring new experience, energy and innovation to a Mission Community open to new ideas. Our Diocesan Vision We seek to be people who together are: Growing in Prayer Prayer is conversation with God and is part of a healthy Christian life. Prayer is a life-giving activity that opens up deep places within us to God’s transforming grace. It is essential if we are to become the people and the Church God calls us to be. Making new disciples As the Christian story is less and less known, we must find new ways of telling the story, of explaining the faith and giving a reason for the hope that is in us. With Jesus Christ as our companion and guide, we can travel through life differently. Serving the people of Devon with joy As followers of Jesus Christ, we want to make a difference in the world and make God’s love and justice known.

  • J|3Otes; on Jqelungton. by F. T. ELWOETHY
    j|3otes; on JQelUngton. BY F. T. ELWOETHY. |_j^ NOUGH has already been said upon the name of our ^ to^m and its probable etymology, but the question of its undoubted antiquity seems to have received but small attention. All writers from Collinson downward, take it for granted that the history of Wellington begins with the earliest known written document—a certain Charter of exchange of manors, between Eadweard the King and Asser, Bishop of Sherborne. This charter (in latin) which Mr. Hugo, a better authority than Collinson, puts at a.d. 904, is printed at length in the “Calendar of Wells Manuscripts,” by the late Bev. J. A. Bennett, and published by the Historical MS. Commission, 1885, at p. 196. A careful study of this will show not only, that the history of Wellington did not begin then, a thousand years ago, but that of whatever date the document may be, Wellington must have had a past of many centuries, and had even at that time attained to a position of civilisation and considerable development. We find that in the days of Edward the Elder, 150 years before the Norman Conquest, there were six manentes, i»e., tenants, residents, or proprietors in Weolingtun, and five in Bocland, under the Over Lord, whose joint holdings constituted what afterwards came to be called the hlanor, instead of the Villa of those days. Notes on Wellington. 221 Even then Wellington was closely associated with Bocland, and this connection has lasted unbroken, down to the present time. The name Bocland, which unlike Wellington admits of no controversy, in itself

  • JOB DESCRIPTION “I Long for Us to Be Caught by a Fresh Vision of the Beauty of God and of the Glory We See in the Face of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified
    Appointment of the Archdeacon of Barnstaple THE DIOCESE OF EXETER The Bishop of Exeter is seeking an imaginative and pastorally gifted priest with significant parish experience to appoint as Archdeacon of Barnstaple in succession to the Venerable Mark Butchers, following his appointment as Principal of the South-West Ministerial Training Course. She or he will have a heart for evangelism and rural mission, be committed to fostering spiritual and numerical growth, and be able to relate confidently and comfortably across the spectrum of church traditions of the Diocese. The priest appointed will be personable, prayerful and instinctively collaborative in their approach. The Archdeacons of the Diocese, of which there are four, work as a team and in close partnership with their respective Suffragan Bishop; in the case of the Archdeacon of Barnstaple, with the Bishop of Crediton. The new Archdeacon will bring to their work creative and strategic thinking and effective organisational skill in a way that enables the Church to flourish. She or he will encourage and motivate the parishes and Mission Communities of the archdeaconry to articulate a vision for the future, strengthening community resilience, supporting the formation of mature Christian disciples, and nurturing the gifts of the whole people of God. The Archdeacon will do this within a context of caring for and providing appropriate support to clergy and their families, readers, churchwardens and other lay officers as together we process the psychological and relational impact of the coronavirus pandemic and new patterns of church life and ministry emerge. Together with senior colleagues, the Archdeacons share responsibility for the vision of the Diocese and will help realise the full potential of their archdeaconries.
