  • AD CLERUM: 11 July 2018
    AD CLERUM: 11 July 2018 Dear Colleagues There can be few better days in the Church’s calendar than the Feast of St Benedict to announce the appointment of the Venerable Jackie Searle as the next Bishop of Crediton. The announcement was made from Downing Street this morning. Prior to her ordination, Jackie trained as a Primary School teacher, specialising in English. Following her ordination and two curacies in London, Jackie became a Lecturer in Applied Theology at Trinity College, Bristol. From there she moved to the Diocese of Derby becoming Vicar of Littleover, Rural Dean and Dean of Women’s Ministry. In 2012 she moved to her current appointment as Archdeacon of Gloucester and Canon Residentiary of Gloucester Cathedral. She is married to David Runcorn and they have two grown up children, Joshua and Simeon. Jackie is a person of wide sympathies with a deep love of Christ. She has been a Training Partner with Bridge Builders for several years, specialising in conflict transformation, and will bring to her new role the same mixture of compassion, integrity and professionalism that has characterised all her work. She understands the challenges and opportunities of rural ministry well and will enrich the life of the church in Devon in all sorts of ways. I look forward to welcoming her to the Diocese this autumn. She will be consecrated in London on the Feast of St Vincent de Paul, Thursday 27th September, and her welcome service will be in Exeter Cathedral at 4pm on Sunday 14th October. More details about both services will follow in due course.

Dear friends During my sixth form days, I had a Saturday job in a large shop that was a newsagent, stationers, tobacconist (we still used such words in those days!) and sweet shop. The owner was always keen that the window displays were kept fresh and attractive because they were ways of bringing customers into the shop. Over the years, I’ve thought a great deal about where our “shop window” is in terms of what we stand for as a Christian church. Our worship week by week is, of course, the obvious and best example - but what about those who rarely if ever come to our services? Do they see anything of the life of the Christian community which is our parish and in which they live? I’m sure that they do, as each of us lives out our faith in practice, taking seriously the gospel charge to love God without reservation and our neighbour as ourselves. We have an enormous deposit of faith within our Christian community here and I thank God that it overflows into every walk of life well beyond the church building.

  • Liturgy As History: the Origins of the Exeter Martyrology
    ORE Open Research Exeter TITLE Liturgy as history: the origins of the Exeter martyrology AUTHORS Hamilton, S JOURNAL Traditio: Studies in Ancient and Medieval History, Thought, and Religion DEPOSITED IN ORE 01 November 2019 This version available at http://hdl.handle.net/10871/39448 COPYRIGHT AND REUSE Open Research Exeter makes this work available in accordance with publisher policies. A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication 1 Liturgy as History: The Origins of the Exeter Martyrology Sarah Hamilton, University of Exeter Abstract Through an Anglo-Norman case study, this article highlights the value of normative liturgical material for scholars interested in the role which saints’ cults played in the history and identity of religious communities. The records of Anglo-Saxon cults are largely the work of Anglo-Norman monks. Historians exploring why this was the case have therefore concentrated upon hagiographical texts about individual Anglo-Saxon saints composed in and for monastic communities in the post-Conquest period. This article shifts the focus away from the monastic to those secular clerical communities which did not commission specific accounts, and away from individual cults, to uncover the potential of historical martyrologies for showing how such secular communities remembered and understood their own past through the cult of saints. Exeter Cathedral Library, Ms 3518, is a copy of the martyrology by the ninth-century Frankish monk, Usuard of Saint-Germain-des-Prés , written in and for Exeter cathedral’s canons in the mid-twelfth century.
