Date. The Copyright of this thesis rests with the author. No quotation from it should be pubUshed without her prior written consent and information derived from it should be acknowledged Abstract The question central to this thesis is: how the 'incomer' experiences the liturgy of the Church of England. The discussion focuses mainly on the occasional offices of baptisms, weddings and funerals, and their impact upon the mission of the church. Part One examines some of the dynamics which operate within communities, and within the church community in particular. Determinative for the incomer's perception is the church's self- understanding as presented through the liturgy, whether it is an open or closed community, and what conception of God it offers. Of particular importance is the way in which ritual, symbol, language and story help to create community, as also more explicit as also more explicit concepts such as the Trinity and the body of Christ. Part Two then turns to a more detailed consideration of the impact of the occasional offices upon die incomer. Rites of passages are discussed. The chapter about weddings includes an examination of the service in the Aitemative .ServicR Rook 1980. and a discussion of co-habitation and the re-marrriage of divorcees. In the chapter about funerals there is discussion about the pastoral care of the liturgy and ritual, about cremation and the lack of appropriate imagery in present liturgy , about Ufe-centred fiinerals (saaed or secular) and about the assumed faith stams of the dead. In the chapter about baptism the tensions between baptism as a rite of passage and/or initiation are explored, catechesis as part of the baptismal rite is discussed, and changes ate suggested to reclaim baptism as the rite of initiation by a process of welcome, education and nurture. Part Three examines some of the less verbal messages in the liturgy and the missiological implications of the bridge or barrier which weekly worship constitutes to die incomer. Attention is paid to care of the individual through worship, in particular through using shalom as a model for personal and corporate wholeness. There is a discussion of die elements of worship in functional and phenomenological terras. In ch 7 elements of worship in a Sunday service and their effects on the incomer are examined through the focus of story. The use of the bible and lectionary, prayers, and the role of music in services is discussed. There is a brief examination of participation in and mingling of stories, particularly related to the catechumenate. My conclusions are as follows; 1) It is time to enrich the liturgy. 2) There is a need for greater participation and inclusion in liturgy. 3) It is time to allow for greater honesty in liturgy. 4) The church needs to take mission seriously in its liturgy. The mission of the church in worship should be consistent with die mission of the church in proclamation, social action and pastoral care. If worship is not shaped and informed by the perceptions of modem thinking as well as historical accuracy it will become irrelevant.

Much thought has been given throughout the ages as to what the two great commandments might mean and how they might look if they were the basis for all life. In an age when 'back to basics' is the cry of many, this thesis is an attempt to address what is basic in all christian life and embedded in the heart of the two great commandments: in this work the emphasis will be focussed on the church's worship and the church's mission. This is not to look back but to find a way forward on firm foundations for the future. It seems important that these questions should not simply be abstract but should involve some real situations which impinge on real people. With that in mind the discussion will be based on the Church of England. For most people in the pews of the Church of England most of the time, worship and mission belong in very separate compartments: worship is what 'we' do on a Sunday in our liturgy, and mission is what 'they' do when they can ('they' always means someone else, whether agencies or other churches of other traditions). This is a view which defines worship only as church services and mission only as 'more people coming to church'. This is a problem of perception which will take time, energy and the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit to solve. The 'view in the pew' is, however, somewhat different from the view from behind a dog- collar. Much of the contact the clergy have with those who are as yet not part of the worshipping community is through the 'occasional offices', baptisms, weddings and funerals. In these services people come in to church for a specific reason requiring specific celebration, thanksgiving, blessing or care. In this thesis these people who come in to church will be referred to as 'incomers'. This is intended to be a value-free term which does not judge the reasons why someone wants to come in to church, nor what their state of faith might be, but simply indicates the coming in of a person who does not regularly attend church. Central to this work is the question of how an incomer experiences and is drawn into the liturgies of the Church of England. Because of the emphasis on mission and the incomer, the liturgy of the eucharist will not be discussed in any detail. The eucharist is primarily a service intended for those who are part of the church. The whole movement of the service is 1 towards receiving bread and wine which is perceived (deliberately so) to be a privilege of the committed. The proclamation of the Lord's death 'until he comes' is undoubtedly a missiological theme which could be explored. It is, however, beyond the scope of this work. Fields of Reference Both worship and mission are complicated to define, so rather than attempt neat definitions there follow some fields of reference within which the argument of the thesis will unfold. a) Worship and Liturgy. Worship is a part of christian existence which is at the heart of loving God with heart, soul, mind and strength.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-41607-8 - Self and Salvation: Being Transformed David F. Ford Frontmatter More information Self and Salvation Being Transformed This eagerly awaited book by David F.Ford makes a unique and important contribution to the debate about the Christian doctrine of salvation. Using the pivotal image of the face, Professor Ford offers a constructive and contemporary account of the self being transformed. He engages with three modern thinkers (Levinas, Jüngel and Ricoeur) in order to rethink and reimagine the meaning of self. Developing the concept of a worshipping self, he goes on to explore the dimensions of salvation through the lenses of scripture, worship practices, the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the lives of contemporary saints. He uses different genres and traditions to show how the self flourishes through engagement with God, other people, and the responsibilities and joys of ordinary living. The result is a habitable theology of salvation which is immersed in Christian faith, thought and practice while also being deeply involved with modern life in a pluralist world. David F.Ford is Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge, where he is also a Fellow of Selwyn College and Chairman of the Centre for Advanced Religious and Theological Studies. Educated at Trinity College Dublin, St John’s College Cambridge, YaleUniversity and Tübingen University,he has taught previously at the University of Birmingham.

    June 15th, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Charles Schumer Speaker of the House Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Senate H-232, U.S. Capitol S-221, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress, As leaders from many diverse faith traditions, we are united in our call for a bold economic recovery and infrastructure package that creates family and community sustaining jobs while caring for our climate and our neighbors. It is the moral responsibility of our nation, and our sacred task as people of faith, to protect our ecosystems, work for environmental justice and public health, and address the climate crisis. We urge you to support historic levels of investment that will safeguard Creation, address the impacts of climate change and pollution from fossil fuel extraction and related industries, and fulfill our moral obligation to leave a habitable world for future generations. Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) and low-income communities have been hit the hardest by the triple health, economic, and environmental crises we face. The needs of these communities must be at the center of any infrastructure package. As we move from COVID relief to economic recovery, this moment offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in the clean energy future while addressing the injustices of the past. We can achieve that by: Expanding clean, renewable energy and modernizing our electric grid We can accelerate the transition to clean energy by passing a national Clean Energy Standard that achieves 100% renewable, pollution free electricity by 2035, while also expanding investments in wind and solar power.

  • A Pastoral Study
    “But God meant it for good:” Inter-personal conflict in an African Caribbean Pentecostal congregation – A Pastoral study By Delroy Wesley Hall A thesis submitted to the Department of Theology and Religion University of Birmingham University of Birmingham For the degree of July 2013 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis examines conflict within a UK Black Majority Church. It uses personal observation and journals, with the work of academic historians of the Black churches, to establish that Black Majority Churches have a tendency to conflict that is usually unacknowledged yet often pervasive and damaging. The thesis locates this within a Black cultural history (almost entirely untold in the academy until after the present author’s schooling ended) that involves deep-seated past causes for present conflict among post-colonial Christians. The thesis then proposes a model for the pastoral analysis, practical management, and spiritual resolution of conflict. The key methods for this (drawing on psychology and counselling as well as theology) are autoethnography, transpersonal analysis and pastoral journal records.

  • R a Lindley Final Thesis, 2014
    UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Christian Theism in Anglican Theology, 1945-2014 Richard Adrian Lindley Doctor of Philosophy April 2014 This Thesis has been completed as a requirement for a postgraduate degree of the University of Winchester THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FOR THESIS Christian Theism in Anglican Theology, 1945-2014 Richard Adrian Lindley Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Doctor of Philosophy April 2014 Rowan Williams, David Ford and others have drawn attention to the importance of the ‘informal theology’ of ordinary believers, its validity as representing genuine insights, and the risk of detachment that occurs if academic theologians do not take it into account. Jeff Astley has examined the phenomenology of informal theology (which he calls ‘ordinary theology’) and the processes that have been and can be followed in examining it. Largely, however, he has not surveyed the actual content of believers’ informal theology. This thesis examines the most basic, yet profound, theist concept, that of ‘God’, in historical, academic theology since the Second World War, and in contemporary informal theology measured by an exercise in practical theology. The historical theology consists of a review of academic and popular writings by professional United Kingdom Anglican theologians (as they have taken into account logical positivism, human suffering and scientific insights). This review is presented according to a series of eight themes. The thesis then describes the preparation and execution of a survey of the understanding of God on the part of a sample of Anglican church-attenders in Winchester, carried out by questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, together with analysis of the results.

  • Anglican Models of Moral Formation
    189 ANDY GRIFFITHS How to be Good: Anglican Models of Moral Formation Andy Griffiths is challenged by reading Nick Hornby's popular novel How to be Good into wondering what Anglicanism has to say about being good. He surveys a variety of contemporary views, which suggest that goodness comes from worshipping with other Christians, by thinking, or by reading Scripture. He explores the approach taken to moral formation by the seventeenth century Anglican bishop Jeremy Taylor, to suggest that goodness comes from the dynamic interrelationship between right appetites and formative actions. 1 Goodness is back in fashion. Nick Hornby's novel How to be Good , having briefly topped the British bestseller lists in hardback, is now touring Europe in various languages. It asks some searching questions: What is goodness? How can it be acquired? Do we want it badly enough, and if not how can we acquire a desire to be good? Why is 'knowing the right thing to do' not enough to make us good? And it asks them of a number of people, including contemporary Anglicans. Anglicanism comes out positively in some ways (the Vicar rightly points out the dangers of 'artificial goodness', which changes our actions but not our inclinations, and it is at church that Katie, the narrator, rediscovers 1 Cor. 13 which, without spoiling the ending for you, is the nearest thing to an answer the book has to offer). But in other ways the Church of England comes out rather badly. The Vicar is having a crisis of faith (why are Vicars in contemporary novels always having crises of faith?), and her answers sound to Katie too much like the liberalism she's already rejected: God, why are you people so timid? It's no wonder the churches are empty, when you can't answer the simplest questions.
