Thanks and appreciation are due to Christina Harmon, Dallas organist, teacher, and composer who led this group of American organists. Through her well-established FOMS program, we are privileged to experience the French tradition. Additional indispens- able co-directors this year were Cliff Varnon and Masako Gaskin. All three worked hard to keep this group of organists, organ students, and organ lovers happy and informed. For more information and notice of future events, see www.bfoms.com. Participants varied from virtuosos with ever-expanding organ repertoire to lifelong students who treasure their favorite pieces and still look for interpre- tation ideas from close connections to the source. In addition to masterclasses, there were classes in improvisation and ample opportunities for private lessons. Our youngest organist was 15 and the oldest 83! How fortunate for this group that there are still essentially unaltered romantic organs in existence that we are able to touch and play.

  • Chapter One St Clement's Parish
    CHAPTER ONE ST CLEMENT'S PARISH On 29 May 1660, John Evelyn found himself in the Strand and watched the return to London of King Charles II - "I stood in the Strand and beheld it and blessed God. And all this without one drop of blood but it was the Lord's doing". Neither place nor people more typified the changes taking place than that group of spectators who stood with Evelyn in the Strand. During the previous forty years, the area had been developed on a massive scale. Although prohibited by Royal Proclamation, new building had sprung up along the Strand, in Drury Lane, Covent Garden, Long Acre and Lincoln's Inn Fields. When the parish of St Clement Danes had acquired a new burial ground in Portugal Street in 1638, the area was still so rustic that it had been nicknamed "Green Ground" and this land, surrounded by hedges and a wooden gate, had been let out for sheep to graze. Barely more than a decade later, a new market had been established nearby by the Earl of Clare. Clare Market was no Covent Garden with its elegant piazza. Here the buildings were jerry-built and swiftly packed with the poorest form of tradesmen, people who by lack of training could never trade among the guilds of the City of London but nevertheless sought to undercut their more professional neighbours on the other side of Temple Bar. With the king came a restoration of both the constitution and England's Established Church. That the Church too should be restored was in itself nothing short of a miracle.

  • Global Gateway London an International Center for Scholarship and Collaboration
    GLOBAL GATEWAY LONDON AN INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR SCHOLARSHIP AND COLLABORATION WELCOME TO NOTRE DAME The University of Notre Dame boasts a network of extraordinary facilities and programs located around the world—the Notre Dame Global Gateways. Under the aegis of Notre Dame International (NDI), the Global Gateways are academic and intellectual centers where scholars, students, and leaders from universities, government, business, and the community gather to discuss issues of topical and enduring relevance. At each Global Gateway, the Notre Dame community and its many international partners and colleagues work together to advance knowledge across all disciplines with a view to the common good. London is home to one of six Notre Dame Global Gateways, with the others located in Beijing, Chicago, Dublin, Jerusalem, and Rome. The London Global Gateway consists of two major facilities: an academic center (Fischer Hall at Trafalgar Square) and a 270-bed residence building (Conway Hall, close to the South Bank near Waterloo Station). These two facilities, located in vibrant Central London, are within easy walking distance of each other. Whether for hosting a large conference or merely for providing office space for a day or two, Fischer Hall and Conway Hall serve the needs of the Notre Dame community in London. • The Summer Engineering Program in LONDON London exposes Notre Dame students to innovative technological achievements PROGRAMS during a six-week program. • The Law Summer Program is open The London Global Gateway is active to Notre Dame and non-Notre Dame year-round, hosting a myriad of activities law students and has between 30 including graduate and undergraduate and 40 participants.

  • Entrance Antiphon, Thirty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time)
    Issue 119 November 2019 The Lord speaks of peace to his people and his holy ones and to those who turn to him (Entrance Antiphon, Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time). I had provisionally reserved the front of this Ad Clerum for the promised statement from the Westminster Safeguarding team as to their policy for safeguarding training prior to the issue of a celebret. I thought I would give it due prominence given the interest there is on this matter. Perhaps next month? I expect they have been surprised, as I have myself, how quickly time passes. The end of the liturgical year is almost upon us even though it seems such a short time since summer ended. As ever these last weeks of the year, together with the first weeks of Advent, give us the opportunity to look back as well as forward, to consider what was and what might have been. Most of all it gives us the opportunity for a fresh start, to begin again and to try and do what we have failed to do before. Finally, reflections on the subject of elections can be found in the April 2016 and May 2017 editions of Westminster Information. I do not believe I have anything new to say on the subject and what I said then applies today. Chancellor Please send contributions for the next edition to [email protected].
