The attribution to David I of the establishment of most of the Scottish episcopal sees has, if only through repetition, become a convention. Yet, while historians have bee generan ni l agreement about David's work, they have differed profoundly as to the details. A very recent writer has gone so far as to remark, "Before David's time St Andrews was the only bishopric Scotlann i d proper addedmorr e o h ; x esi probably eight." 1 Other modern historians have allowe r thredo thao e tw tsee s were founde e reigth nn i d of David's predecessor, Alexander I.2 The older historians and chroniclers were less confident about the extent of David's work. Boece attributed to Davi foundatioe dth onlf no y four bishoprics addition i , previouslx si o nt y existing,3 and he was followed by George Buchanan.4 John Major says of David, "Finding four bishoprics in his kingdom, he founded nine more." 8 Two versions of Wyntoun, again, tell each a different story: Bischopriki fan e t thresh dbo ; deite Both . i lefr x ,o he ,t Or Bischopis he fande bot foure or thre; Bot, or he deit, ix left he.6 This confusion might have suggested tha e conventioth t n requires critical examination. The source of the convention is undoubtedly the Scotichronicon; but the Scotichronicon is content to reproduce the statement of David's contemporary, Ailred of Rievaulx,7 who says something quite different from all later works, versione th wit f exceptioe o hWyntoun f th e o s on sayf e no H se .tha th n ti 1 Mackenzie, W.

    Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021

    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Cajsa Sandgren, Ms., Ecumenical Department, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 10/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

    Minutes of the Edinburgh Diocesan Synod held on 11 March 2017 at St Paul’s & St George’s Church, Edinburgh Synod held a moment of silence to remember those who had died since the last Synod: Duncan Forrester Margaret Aitchison Patrick Duncan Monica Cameron BISHOP’S ADDRESS Bishop John reflected on the story of our faith, a story retold in every age. He reminded Synod that 2017 marks the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Lutheran Reformation and encouraged us to consider how the church of the present might be refreshed and renewed. He indicated that whilst this Synod would deliberate on hard and difficult matters it would also hear stories of good news about new opportunities for mission and ministry around the diocese. He said, ‘We’re at a time when in order to grasp the new we may have to let go of the old. And that’s hard. What’s crucial, then, is that we act with confidence in God not with fear or resignation. That we renew our longing for God, a God of abundance not scarcity, and renew our love for Christ’. [The full text of the Bishop’s address can be found on the Diocesan website] APOLOGIES AND WELCOMES The Very Revd Frances Burberry welcomed the following newcomers to Synod: • Patricia Brignall - Lay Rep, St Cuthbert’s Colinton • Lesley Stanley – St Peter’s Linlithgow • Miller Bogie – Lay Rep, St Thomas’ Edinburgh • Claire Nicholson - Lay Rep, St John’s Jedburgh • Rosemary Wilson - Lay Reader, St Cuthbert’s Hawick • Jamie McDonald – Alt Lay Rep, St Mark’s Portobello • Pauline Moss - Lay Rep, St Mary’s Grangemouth • The

The collect (in this context) is the short opening prayer of the Eucharist proper to every Sunday and Holy Day, and the new set of prayers was the result of several years’ work by the Liturgy Committee.1 The Liturgy Committee’s starting point for the collects for Sundays and Principal Holy Days was the series of Latin prayers preserved in the Temporale of the Sarum Missal and which have their origin in the ancient Roman sacramentaries. The Sarum Missal is the service book that was (strangely enough) used throughout Scotland before the Reformation, having first been established in the Scottish kingdom at Glasgow by Bishop Herbert (1147–1164).2 From the Sarum Missal it was also that Thomas Cranmer derived The work for this essay was carried out during the summer of 2015 in the Special Collections of St Andrews University Library, and the University of Dundee Archives.
