  • The Enneagram and Its Implications
    Organizational Perspectives on Stained Glass Ceilings for Female Bishops in the Anglican Communion: A Case Study of the Church of England Judy Rois University of Toronto and the Anglican Foundation of Canada Daphne Rixon Saint Mary’s University Alex Faseruk Memorial University of Newfoundland The purpose of this study is to document how glass ceilings, known in an ecclesiastical setting as stained glass ceilings, are being encountered by female clergy within the Anglican Communion. The study applies the stained glass ceiling approach developed by Cotter et al. (2001) to examine the organizational structures and ordination practices in not only the Anglican Communion but various other Christian denominations. The study provides an in depth examination of the history of female ordination within the Church of England through the application of managerial paradigms as the focal point of this research. INTRODUCTION In the article, “Women Bishops: Enough Waiting,” from the October 19, 2012 edition of Church Times, the Most Rev. Dr. Rowan Williams, then Archbishop of Canterbury, urged the Church of England in its upcoming General Synod scheduled for November 2012 to support legislation that would allow the English Church to ordain women as bishops (Williams, 2012). Williams had been concerned about the Church of England’s inability to pass resolutions that would allow these ordinations. As the spiritual head of the Anglican Communion of approximately 77 million people worldwide, Williams had witnessed the ordination of women to the sacred offices of bishop, priest and deacon in many parts of the communion. Ordinations allowed women in the church to overcome glass ceilings in certain ministries, but also led to controversy and divisiveness in other parts of the church, although the Anglican Communion has expended significant resources in both monetary terms and opportunity costs to deal with the ordination of women to sacred offices, specifically as female bishops.

    Westminster Abbey A SERVICE OF EVENING PRAYER IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE BENEDICT XVI AND HIS GRACE THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY Friday 17 September 2010 6.15 pm THE COLLEGIATE CHURCH OF ST PETER IN WESTMINSTER Westminster Abbey’s recorded history can be traced back well over a thousand years. Dunstan, Bishop of London, brought a community of Benedictine monks here around 960 AD and a century later King Edward established his palace nearby and extended his patronage to the neighbouring monastery. He built for it a great stone church in the Romanesque style which was consecrated on 28 December 1065. The Abbey was dedicated to St Peter, and the story that the Apostle himself consecrated the church is a tradition of eleventh-century origin. King Edward died in January 1066 and was buried in front of the new high altar. When Duke William of Normandy (William I) arrived in London after his victory at the Battle of Hastings he chose to be crowned in Westminster Abbey, on Christmas Day 1066. The Abbey has been the coronation church ever since. The Benedictine monastery flourished owing to a combination of royal patronage, extensive estates, and the presence of the shrine of St Edward the Confessor (King Edward had been canonised in 1161). Westminster’s prestige and influence among English religious houses was further enhanced in 1222 when papal judges confirmed that the monastery was exempt from English ecclesiastical jurisdiction and answerable direct to the Pope. The present Gothic church was begun by King Henry III in 1245. By October 1269 the eastern portion, including the Quire, had been completed and the remains of St Edward were translated to a new shrine east of the High Altar.

  • Lambeth Conference Reflections
    Lambeth Indaba Capturing Conversations and Reflections from the Lambeth Conference 2008 Equipping Bishops for Mission and Strengthening Anglican Identity 3 August 2008 From the Reflections Group Lambeth Indaba 2008 Capturing the conversations and reflections from the Lambeth Conference 2008: Equipping bishops for mission and strengthening Anglican identity. Bless the Lord, O my Soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy Name. Bless the Lord, O my Soul, and forget not all his benefits. The Reflections Group has been privileged to serve the Lambeth Conference in their capacity as Listeners in and for their indaba. Face to face conversations, often exchanging conflicting and challenging points of view, have led to deeper understanding and new insights. The task of the Listener has been to capture the spirit of these encounters. This document is not the primary outcome of this Conference. Written words can never adequately describe the life-changing nature of our time together. We have gained a deeper appreciation of the worldwide Anglican Communion and of our common calling as disciples of Christ. Each listener has tried to prayerfully reflect the conversations that have taken place in the sixteen indaba groups mindful of the mandate given to them to be faithful to the gospel, the indaba process, the bishops gathered at Lambeth Conference and the Anglican Communion. The status of the document is that of a narrative. It seeks to describe our lived experience and the open and honest discussions we have had together on the daily themes of the conference. We acknowledge that the most powerful narrative that accompanies us on the journey back to our diocese is in the transformation that has taken place in our lives through the renewal of our faith in Jesus.

  • Newsletter No 50
    newsletter WEBSITE: www.anglicanstogether.org IAAN 1836-5116 President’s Reflections LEADERSHIP has been in the news a lot lately. We have watched in astonishment the leadership machinations in our federal Labor Party and we have also been intrigued by the changes in Rome: the unexpected resignation of Pope Benedict and the election of Francis as the new leader of the Catholic Church. For Anglicans there has also been the appointment of Bishop Justin Welby as the new Archbishop of Canterbury. This was a surprise appointment as Justin Welby was not one of the early front runners: a mature age entrant to the priesthood and he had been Bishop of Durham for only a short time. I have it on good authority that when asked at his first interview, why he wanted to be Archbishop of Canterbury, his response was, “I don’t”. Sounds like a good choice! Leadership is now a pressing issue contentious issues such as the role Diocese would be a happier place if for Sydney Anglicans.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Graeme Pringle - Diocese of Coventry To: News desk From: Christine Doyle – Coventry Cathedral Graeme.Pringle@CovCofE.org Date: 16 Feb 2013 Email: Christine.Doyle@CoventryCathedral.org.uk 024 7652 1336 - Graeme 07507 196 495 - Graeme Office: Mobile: 024 7452 1226 - Christine 07769 738 180 - Christine New Archbishop returns to Coventry Lambeth Palace has confirmed that the new Archbishop of Canterbury will be visiting Coventry on Friday 15 March. Archbishop Justin Welby was ordained in Coventry Cathedral in 1992 and he spent the next fifteen years serving the people of Coventry and Warwickshire as a Church of England minister. This culminated in his role at the Cathedral as Canon for Peace and Reconciliation, prior to leaving for his post as Dean of Liverpool in 2007. Coventry is one of just five dioceses that Archbishop Justin will be visiting in the days leading up to his enthronement at Canterbury Cathedral. He will be inviting as many people as possible to join him on this 'Journey in Prayer'. The Archbishop will visit one city on each day of the journey, and spend that day in prayer. Both adults and children will have an opportunity to pray in ways that reflect the rich variety of Christian traditions. The Bishop of Coventry, The Right Reverend Dr Christopher Cocksworth, said that it will be an enormous joy and privilege to welcome the Archbishop back to Coventry. He said: “Our new Archbishop of Canterbury is no stranger to the Diocese of Coventry and its remarkable Cathedral. He contributed an enormous amount to the life of church and society in Coventry and Warwickshire over the first 15 years (1992-2007) of his ministry, and the Cathedral's work for peace and reconciliation is deeply in his bones.
