The work of the church has never been seen as just concerning itself with spiritual wellbeing but with the growth of the whole person, in particular through a rounded education of high standards. Both parishes of St. Paul and St. Luke built a church school early on, soon after the churches were built. St. Paul’s School: The commemorative booklet published in 1908 to mark the 50th Anniversary of the consecration of the first St. Paul’s, Bow Common recorded the origins of the church school. Churches took their schools very seriously and church schools are still seen as desirable places within which to place ones children and parents still make great efforts to find a place for their children in a church school. When I arrived at Bow Common it then had the smallest church electoral roll in the diocese. Growth came, however, through parents attending church for their children to qualify for admission to our church school and for the ‘church letter’ to be signed by the Vicar! However, many of these parents stayed and grew in commitment and became the new core for the church alongside those who had been there from the beginning.

  • Zeugen Des Gegenwartigen Gottes 1 :@ Brunnen-Verlag
    ZEUGEN DES GEGENWARTIGEN GOTTES ' 1 1 1 :@ BRUNNEN-VERLAG GIESSEN UND BASEL Thomas John Barnardo war einer der wenigen, die ihr Leben für die verwahrloste Jugend des Londoner Ostens einsetzten. Viele vergleichen ihn mit Pestalozzi und nennen ihn den Erretter und Befreier des ausgestoßenen Kindes. So blieb der junge Mediziner, der eigent­ lich Hudson Taylor als Missionar nach China folgen wollte, in London und wurde dort ein Künder der Barmherzigkeit und der Liebe Christi. Mitten in den Elends­ quartieren von Whitechapel und Stepney ließ er sich nieder, gründete eine sogenannte Lumpenschule, schuf Stätten für Evangeli­ sation und Heime für die Ärmsten der Armen, für die Söhne und Töchter der Säufer, Dirnen, Verbrecher und für die Niemandskinder, die sich sonst verkaufen, vermieten oder aussaugen ließen. Er gab ihnen eine Heimat und sorgte für ihr wei­ teres Fortkommen. Stets war eine kleine Tür in seinen Heimen geöffnet, damit die Kinder der Nacht und der Sünde einen Weg fanden zu dem helfenden Herzen, das sich keinem versagte. Barnardos Name ist in Deutschland kaum bekannt. So soll dieses schlichte Lebens­ bild das Andenken wachhalten an einen Christen der Tat und Nacheiferung wecken zu gleichem Glauben, der in der Liebe tätig ist.

  • Thomas John Barnardo
    Thomas John Barnardo Thomas John Barnardo was best known by the name Dr Barnardo. He founded the British charity, Barnardo’s, to provide care for vulnerable children and young people. Early Life Thomas John Barnardo was born in Dublin, Ireland, on 4th July 1845. He was the fourth of five children born to John Michaelis Barnardo, a furrier, and his second wife, Abigail. In 1866, Dr Barnardo left Ireland and moved to London as he wanted to become a doctor. He planned to study at London Hospital. However, when he arrived in London, Dr Barnardo was shocked by what he found. He saw children all over the city living in terrible conditions. A deadly disease called cholera was spreading throughout the East End of the city and many children became orphans. Lots of children did not make it to their fifth birthday. Dr Barnardo desperately wanted to do something to help. Ragged Schools Despite his name, Dr Barnardo stopped training to become a doctor and never achieved his qualifications. Instead, in 1867, he set up a ragged school, which is an independent school set up to give free education, food, clothes and homes to children who were too poor to pay. One pupil at Dr Barnardo’s first ragged school was called Jim Jarvis. One evening, Jim took Dr Barnardo for a walk around the East End of London. Jim showed him all of the children who slept on the street, often on roofs or in gutters. Dr Barnardo was so upset by what he saw that he gave up his dream of being a doctor and decided to give his life to helping poor children.
