I won a Temperance Exam when I was 9 and as well as signing the pledge I won the prize of a picture book of London which I treasured and still have.

  • George Bell Case Review
    A REVIEW BY THE BELL SUPPORT GROUP OF THE TREATMENT BY THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND OF THE LATE BISHOP OF CHICHESTER, GEORGE BELL The Purpose of this Review: 1. The purpose of this Review is to examine the process leading up to the release by the Church of England’s Media Centre of its statement on 22nd October 2015 (“the October Statement”) and the events which followed in the hope that no further steps will be taken to remove Bishop Bell’s name from public memorials until a proper enquiry has taken place into the allegations against him. The members of the Bell Support Group responsible for this document believe that natural justice and the damage done to the Bishop’s good name by the October Statement cry out for such an enquiry. The Reputation of Bishop Bell until 22nd October 2015: 2. The reputation of George Bell, Bishop of Chichester from 1929 to 1958 could hardly be better described than it is on the memorial plaque in the Cathedral: “A TRUE PASTOR POET AND PATRON OF THE ARTS CHAMPION OF THE OPPRESSED AND TIRELESS WORKER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY”. 3. Until the October Statement Bishop Bell’s reputation was close to saintly. It was certainly quite unsullied: he is commemorated in the Church’s liturgical calendar on 3rd October and Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford has an altar dedicated to him. Following the Statement the wording of the Memorial in Chichester Cathedral has been described by the Diocese as “problematic”, and it seems likely that at some stage in the future a proposal may be made to remove the late Bishop’s name from the Calendar.

  • Bishop George Bell Compendium
    THE BISHOP BELL CONTROVERSY A COMPENDIUM OF SELECTED SOURCES COVERING THE PERIOD 22 OCTOBER 2015 - 21 JUNE 2016 Prepared for general use by Andrew Chandler June 2016 ON 22 OCTOBER 2015 the Media Centre of the Church of England released a statement relating to allegations of sexual abuse made against the former Bishop of Chichester, George Bell (1883- 1958). This was immediately given extensive treatment by three newspapers: the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph and the Times. This collection provides a picture of how the controversy emerged and developed in the public sphere in the following months. It shows how the debate has become a national one and how, in the eyes of many of the participants, it has come to raise fundamental questions about the practices of the Church of England in an important area of public justice today. The selected sources are presented in full. 2 CONTENTS 1 Press Release issued by the Church of 12 Statement issued by the Bishop of England Media Centre, 22 October 2015 Chichester 3 February 2016 PAGE 27 PAGE 4 13 Statement issued to all staff and students 2 ‘Revered Bishop Bell was a Paedophile – at the University of Chichester, 3 February Church of England’, article in the Daily 2016 PAGE 28 Telegraph, 22 October 2015 PAGE 5 14 Statement issued by the Bishop of 3 ‘The Rule of the Lynch Mob’, article in Durham after the House of Lords debate the Church of England Newspaper, 28 PAGE 28 October 2015 PAGE 7 15 ‘Child abuse claims: why due process 4 ‘The Church of England’s shameful and a fair hearing matter’, article

  • The Bishop of Chichester Has Issued a Formal Apology Following the Settlement of a Legal Civil Claim Regarding Sexual Abuse Against the Right
    The Bishop of Chichester has issued a formal apology following the settlement of a legal civil claim regarding sexual abuse against the Right Reverend George Bell, who was Bishop of Chichester from 1929 until his death on 3rd October 1958. The allegations against Bell date from the late 1940s and early 1950s and concern allegations of sexual offences against an individual who was at the time a young child. Following settlement of the claim the serving Bishop of Chichester, the Right Reverend Dr. Martin Warner, wrote to the survivor formally apologising and expressing his "deep sorrow" acknowledging that "the abuse of children is a criminal act and a devastating betrayal of trust that should never occur in any situation, particularly the church." Bishop Warner paid tribute to the survivor's courage in coming forward to report the abuse and notes that "along with my colleagues throughout the church, I am committed to ensuring that the past is handled with honesty and transparency." Tracey Emmott, the solicitor for the survivor, today issued the following statement on behalf of her client: "The new culture of openness in the Church of England is genuinely refreshing and seems to represent a proper recognition of the dark secrets of its past, many of which may still not have come to light. While my client is glad this case is over, they remain bitter that their 1995 complaint was not properly listened to or dealt with until my client made contact with Archbishop Justin Welby's office in 2013. That failure to respond properly was very damaging, and combined with the abuse that was suffered has had a profound effect on my client's life.

  • Eric Kemp: a Life Remembered
    (2010) 12 Ecc LJ 127 # Ecclesiastical Law Society doi:10.1017/S0956618X0999072X ERIC KEMP: A LIFE REMEMBERED C HRISTOPHER H ILL Chairman, Ecclesiastical Law Society Bishop of Guildford The President, a co-founder of the Ecclesiastical Law Society, died peacefully in Chichester – his See from 1974 to 2001 – on Saturday 28 November 2009, the eve of Advent Sunday. He had borne increasing blindness in recent years, but on considering relinquishing the Presidency two years ago was delighted to be told of the Society’s extreme reluctance to accept his resignation. I first worked with Eric Kemp at his consecration in Southwark Cathedral as Bishop of Chichester in 1974, where as a Lambeth apparatchik I was organising the protocols for his Old Catholic co-consecrator; then for many years under his chairmanship of the Faith and Order Advisory Group of the Church of England, following a distinguished but ultimately unsuccessful championing of Anglican Methodist reconciliation as the Anglican Co-Chairman of the Anglican- Methodist Unity Commission. But for the Society, Eric Kemp’s contribution to the revival of the study and practice of Canon Law within the Church of England must be his greatest achievement: as Tutor and Chaplain at Exeter College, Oxford, as Dean of Worcester, and as Chief Pastor of the Diocese of Chichester. In 1948 he pub- lished Canonization and Authority in the Western Church, followed by An Introduction to Canon Law in the Church of England in 1957. His Bampton Lectures of 1960, Counsel and Consent, which helped him to gain an Oxford DD on publication the following year, traced the elusive history of Convocation.

  • Political Decision-Making, Office-Holding, and Religious Change in England’S Parishes, 1559-1700
    “The Constitution of This Realm”: Political Decision-Making, Office-holding, and Religious Change in England’s Parishes, 1559-1700 Brian Chapman Dudley Richmond, Virginia B.S., United States Military Academy, 1993 M.A., University of Virginia, 2002 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia December, 2013 ii Abstract A key concept in the study of seventeenth-century English political thought has been the notion of England’s “ancient constitution,” an ideology of custom and law articulated by an elite group of legal specialists. This dissertation examines a different constitution, one that governed the everyday operation of seventeenth-century England’s most basic political unit: the parish. Whereas most previous studies have treated parish government as part of a larger story of socio-economic polarization, I have investigated the formal institutions and processes through which ratepaying parishioners made decisions and chose the officers responsible for enacting them as a means of elucidating the political ideals that lay behind these actions. In so doing, I have found that several of our assumptions regarding early modern parish governance are in need of modification. Historians’ tendency to evaluate early modern parishes as either participatory democracies or as elitist oligarchies, for example, is inadequate, as is the well-worn notion of a trend towards oligarchic forms of parish government around 1600. Instead I find that both majoritarian and oligarchic principles retained their legitimacy and that they frequently worked in tandem, rather than in opposition. Parish offices, meanwhile, rather than being actively pursued by ambitious middling parishioners, were in fact usually considered an honorable burden rather than a prize.
