The beginning of a cemetery at St. Benedict’s Priory, now Subiaco Abbey, and of St. Benedict’s Parish, was in 1878, shortly after the monks arrived from Indiana. The first burial was that of an elderly bachelor, a Mr. Babel, a brewer from Bavaria. He had lived 3 with the monks for about three weeks and then settled northwest of the town of Paris and began to construct a brewery. Here he fell ill. A Protestant neighbor brought the Abbey Journal news to Fr. Wolfgang at the priory and the prior hurried on the sick call. The next day Gardening without rain! word came that Mr. Babel had died and that there was no one to attend to his burial. The monks made a coffin and Fr. Wolfgang and Br.

  • A Manual for Vestries

    A Manual for Vestries

    A SHORT MANUAL FOR VESTRIES PARISH COUNCILS Origins In the English Church a Vestry is a room in which the priest vests. In America we term this room a sacristy. Before the Reformation some parishes were served by secular priests appointed by the local lord of the manor or the bishop. Such priests were called Rectors. In other parishes the church was served by a member of a Religious Order either because the church building was shared between the local Order and the villagers or because an Order had founded and built the parish church. In such cases the parish priest was called a Vicar. In “secular” parishes the parish priest was assisted by his flock whereas in a “Religious” parish the members of the Order helped the parish priest. The system of having a body of lay people help the priest originated in “secular” parishes. The lay leadership held its meetings in the sacristy or vestry and thus became known as the “Vestry”. In those days there was no separation of Church and State. The parish church was the church of all the people and the Vestry served as a sort of village council, which looked after the roads, village politics, the care of the poor and lunatics. Some things never change. After the suppression of the monastic orders at the Reformation secular priests served all parishes. The local parishes had to take over much of the charitable work previously administered by monks and nuns. To provide funds for this work, the Vestries were required to provide alms boxes in each church and to set aside the collections at Divine Service for poor relief.

    Tithing Customs and Disputes: the Evidence of Glebe Terriers, 1698-I 85O

    Tithing Customs and Disputes: the Evidence of Glebe Terriers, 1698-I 85o By E. J. EVANS "I certainly think that the institution of tithe, especially if rigorously enforced, is everywhere a great obstacle to the improvement and prosperity of any country... I believe too that it is as much for the real interest of the Church as for the land to adopt, if practicable, some other mode of provision."--William Pitt I "I am confident that I am defrauded by many of my parishioners of various vicarial dues and rights to which the laws of Heaven and earth entitle me... for the very word 'tithe' has ever been as unpleasing and odious, to farmers especially, as cuckoo to the married ear. Those who pay them, pay them very partially and I may say, grudgingly and of necessity."--Rev. William Jones, Vicar of Broxbourne and Hoddesdon, Herts. 2 N the last century and a half of its existence in its old form, the tithe system was at once uniquely unpopular and inefficient, a Landowners and tenants I alike had, of course, always objected to providing the tithe owner, whether a layman or a cleric, with a tenth of the produce of their land; but the develop- i ments of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries made the tithe owner's demands doubly onerous. Agricultural improvements bringing increased yields meant in their turn an increased return for the tithe owner, without the latter having had to bear any of the expenses of improvement. Thomas Thomp- son was one of many to voice the frustration of the agricultural interest when ,! he asked: "Is it equitable that, whenever I work for myself, I should be com- pelled to work for another person also? ''4 Adam Smith pointed out that the I poorer lands were harder hit by the impost because of the higher capital outlay necessary to improve them, ~ while the researches of Arthur Young and the Board of Agriculture were not slow to bring to light numerous cases of lands left barren because the burden of tithe, after heavy initial improvement ex- penditure, would not bring the improver any real return for his outlay.
  • The Parson's Freehold

    The Parson's Freehold

    The Parson's Freehold BY A. TINDAL HART HE much publicized Spaxton case and the new Pastoral Measure T shortly to be laid before the Church Assembly, whereby a sitting incumbent, after receiving adequate compensation, could willy-nilly be removed from his present parish in order to make way for a team ministry, whose " vicars " would hold office only for a term of years "laid down by the bishop's licence", have raised again in an acute form the whole question of the Parson's Freehold. Whatsoever were the legal or moral rights and wrongs of the Spaxton affair : whether, as has been suggested, it was "a highly successful attempt at all stages, regardless of natural justice, to maintain the Establishment ", or that a reluctant bishop was driven into taking legal action, which was distasteful, costly, and highly damaging to himself, it has proved once and for all that as long as the freehold persists in its present form similar judicial processes, with all their attendant publicity and expense, will have to continue to operate as much under the new highly vaunted Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure of 1963 as they did with the old Incumbent's Discipline Act of 1947. The Bishop of Leicester put the case very fairly for his side when he said : " One of our great problems is that the laity, now articulate and used to business methods, cannot understand why bishops cannot solve these problems. By the time they reach the bishops' ear the bishops are powerless. People do not realize how limited are a bishop's powers in a church which they wrongly think is episcopally governed.
  • The Life of William Carey, Shoemaker & Missionary

    The Life of William Carey, Shoemaker & Missionary

    The Life of William Carey by George Smith PREFACE On the death of William Carey In 1834 Dr. Joshua Marshman promised to write the Life of his great colleague, with whom he had held almost daily converse since the beginning of the century, but he survived too short a time to begin the work. In 1836 the Rev. Eustace Carey anticipated him by issuing what is little better than a selection of mutilated letters and journals made at the request of the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society. It contains one passage of value, however. Dr. Carey once said to his nephew, whose design he seems to have suspected, “Eustace, if after my removal any one should think it worth his while to write my Life, I will give you a criterion by which you may judge of its correctness. If he give me credit for being a plodder he will describe me justly. Anything beyond this will be too much. I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.” In 1859 Mr. John Marshman, after his final return to England, published The Life and Times of Carey, Marshman, and Ward, a valuable history and defence of the Serampore Mission, but rather a biography of his father than of Carey. When I first went to Serampore the great missionary had not been twenty years dead. During my long residence there as Editor of the Friend of India, I came to know, in most of its details, the nature of the work done by Carey for India and for Christendom in the first third of the century.

VICAR VICTORIA: WRITING THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY FICTION A Dissertation Presented for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree The University of Mississippi Rachel Elizabeth Cason May 2019 Copyright © 2019 by Rachel Elizabeth Cason All rights reserved ABSTRACT Vicar Victoria: Writing the Church of England in Nineteenth-Century Fiction shows how the organizing force of the Anglican Church and the figure of the Anglican clergyman were used to interrogate social, legal, and historical developments in nineteenth-century fiction. The project outlines how authors reacted to events such as Pluralism reform, the opening of training schools for clergy, and the Oxford Movement. There was a growing importance of institutions (including new physical buildings and Anglican reform movements). Further, the clergy, pushed by the increased expectation to modernize and professionalize, became a specialist career, with raised training and performance requirements. As a result of these internal changes, we find the Anglican Church establishment in a state of flux across the nineteenth century: working to adapt itself to a new normal where Anglicanism as the dominant organizing force in people's lives could no longer be taken for granted.
