The Standing Committee received a Report on matters discussed by the Appointments Sub-committee at its meeting held on 25 January 2018. Membership of the Governing Body 10. The Committee approved, under the power delegated to it by the Governing Body, the following co-options to the Governing Body, as recommended by the Sub-committee to 31 December 2020: Clerics The Reverend Dr Adrian Morgan Unbeneficed Cleric The Reverend Dean A Roberts Lay Persons Dr Marion Hughes Lay Persons (Under 30 years of age) Mr Edward Hodge Mr Daniel Priddy Appointments to the Panels of Governing Body Chairs and Assessors 11. Under the procedure for appointing to the Panels of Chairs and Assessors members are reviewed after six years. This year two members of the Panel of Chairs came up for review, Mrs Lis Perkins and the Venerable Peggy Jackson. The Committee recommends that they are re-appointed for a period of a further six years. The Committee also informs the Governing Body (not part of the recommendation) that the Right Reverend Andrew John has become a member of the Panel as the senior diocesan bishop after the Archbishop. Recommendation 2 3 12. This year no members of the Panel of Assessors came up for review under the six year rule. The Committee decided to leave further appointments to the Panel of Assessors in abeyance while a review of the use of Assessors takes place. It will use the Head of Legal Services in place of the Assessor on one of the days of the April meeting as an experimental procedure. Appointment of a Representative to attend the 2018 Methodist Conference 13. The Committee was informed that the Methodist Conference had a rota on which it invited other churches to appoint an Associate Member of the Conference, usually for two successive years, who had the right to speak but not vote. On the advice of the Bench of Bishops the Committee recommends that the newly appointed Director of Faith Order and Unity, the Reverend Dr Ainsley Griffiths, be appointed as the Church in Wales representative for 28 June to 5 July 2018 and 9 from 27 June to 4 July 2019. Recommendation 3 General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church, 7-9 June 2018 14. An invitation had been received from the Scottish Episcopal Church to send a representative to its General Synod, to take place in Edinburgh from Thursday 7 to Saturday 9 June 2017. The Committee recommends that the Reverend Canon Steven Kirk be invited to attend as the Church in Wales’s representative and that similar appointments of representatives to attend the synods of other churches be delegated to the Standing Committee in future. Recommendation 4 Appointment of a Representative to the World Council of Churches 15. Due to her role as Chaplain to the Bishop of Llandaff, the Reverend Dr Sarah Rogers has stepped down from her role as a member of the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches, on which she served for some years. The Standing Committee thanks Dr Rogers for her work in this role, and notes that the appointment of new members is a matter for the World Council of Churches. [NB Items 14 and 15 were taken direct to the Standing Committee as it was not known when the Appointments Sub-committee met.] REPORT OF THE BUSINESS SUB-COMMITTEE 16. The Standing Committee received reports from the Business Sub-committee on matters discussed its meeting on 25 January 2018. Review of the September 2017 Meeting of Governing Body 17. The Sub-committee reviewed the meeting of the Governing Body held in September 2017. 4 Governing Body Meeting April 2018 18. On the advice of the Business Sub-committee, the Standing Committee agreed the order of business for the meeting as set out in the Agenda. As members will be aware, following the resolution of the Governing Body concerning the admission to communion in September 2017, it was agreed to allocate time at the Governing Body meeting of Aril 2018 to hold a comprehensive discussion on the issues raised in the debate. Members of the Governing Body would be asked to set out any concerns and questions in order to enable a preparatory document to be circulated prior to the meeting. Consideration of Future Governing Body Business 19. The Standing Committee noted that the Business Sub-committee discussed possible items for inclusion on future Governing Body Agendas. A report from the Church Growth Group, led by the Bishop of Bangor will be taken to the September meeting of the Governing Body. (see also paragraph 28). The Committee has asked the Business Sub-committee look at the future programme of business to consider how it could purposefully programme the agenda of the Governing Body to bring the big questions in Welsh life to the Governing Body for discussion to help its members to engage better in Welsh life and form a better Christian mind together. An example is the item, the initial part of which is to be taken at this meeting, on the Place of the Church in the Public Square, where the committee has commissioned background papers and a short film to assist the Governing Body in its discussion. It is intended that the plenary debate and specific motion, produced in the light of whatever issues emerge in the discussion groups, will be brought to the Governing Body in September, following a discussion at the Standing Committee’s July meeting. Anglican & Ecumenical Budget 2018 20. In setting the Anglican and Ecumenical budget for 2018, the Committee was mindful that: (i) The request from the Anglican Consultative Council had become increasingly out of alignment with inflation, the Committee having adopted a policy over many years of restricting the grant to inflation increases; (ii) however, the Anglican Communion Office had indicated that the 2017 agreed contribution was recognised as being the full expectation for the year and the basis for future contributions. A new basis for determining provincial contributions would be brought forward in 2018 to ACC-17 and the Primates. (iii) The Committee recognised a series of new initiatives that would create additional costs, including the Safe Church Commission and the Anglican Inter Faith Commission, which resulted in a 6% request for 2018 (cash increase of £1,355).

  • Descent of St. Maur and Seymour Families
    -390- ST MAUR AND SEYMOUR DESCENT OF ST.MAUR FAMILY OF CO.MONMOUTH AND SEYMOUR FAMILY OF HATCH, CO.SOMERSET by Paul C. Reed1 ABSTRACT This Seymour family became renowned in the person of Jane Seymour, who died twelve days after the birth of Edward, the only legitimate son of Henry VIII to survive infancy. It is not surprising that the origins of this family came under the focus of the earliest English historians and genealogists, including Camden, Dugdale and Vincent. Brydges and others later attempted fuller accounts in their works on the peerage, but the paucity of surviving records has allowed errant conclusions and fictions to persist in the most widely available modern accounts. The purpose of this article is to present a fresh analysis of what survives and bring the subject up to current standards of scholarship. Foundations (2008) 2 (6): 390-442 © Copyright FMG and the author As is the case with so many medieval English families, our knowledge of the earliest generations of the Seymours in the century and a half after Domesday is vague and uncertain. The earliest definitely traceable ancestor appears in record because of his acquisition of land—he burst onto the scene through conquest. In a period when preserving the king’s peace would normally have forbad dispossessing anyone of a manor (whether they had been in legitimate possession or not), at this specific time it furthered the interests of the crown to have Englishmen displace the native Welsh. Even after the family acquired heritable land, the descent of the male line through the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries is not entirely certain because of the scant survival of documents concerning manors and lands in the Marches of Wales.

  • A History of Unitarianism: in Transylvania, England and America Volume II (1952)
    A History of Unitarianism: In Transylvania, England and America Volume II (1952) This text was taken from a 1977 Beacon Press edition of Wilbur’s book and was made possible through the generous and kind permission of Earl Morse Wilbur’s family, with whom the copyright resides. PREFACE THE AUTHOR'S earlier work, A History of Unitarianism: Socinianism and Its Antecedents (Cambridge, 1945) was designed, though no indication was given in the preface or elsewhere, as the first of two volumes on the general subject. The present volume therefore is to be taken as the second or complementary volume of the work, and any cross-references to the former work are given as to Volume 1. The present book has been written with constant reference to available sources, and the author's obligation to various persons for valued help given still stand; but further acknowledgment is here made to Dr. Alexander Szent-Ivanyi, sometime Suffragan Bishop of the Unitarian Church in Hungary, who has carefully read the manuscript of the section on Transylvania and made sundry valued suggestions; to Dr. Herbert McLachlan, formerly Principal of the Unitarian College, Manchester, who has performed a like service for the chapters of the English section; and to Dr. Henry Wilder Foote for his constant interest and for unnumbered services of kindness in the course of the whole work I can not take my leave of a subject that has engaged my active interest for over forty-five years, and has furnished my chief occupation for the past fifteen years, without giving expression to the profound gratitude I feel that in spite of great difficulties and many interruptions I have been granted life and strength to carry my task through to completion.
