Don’t forget to save the date for the Summer Festival and Gift Day scheduled for Saturday 19th July. From the Vicar Dear Brothers & Sisters ‘What are you giving up?’ is the most popular question to be asked in Lent, the season which will be upon us very quickly in March. It’s fashionable to decry the giving up of things for Lent, to suggest—as Harry Williams famously did in his sermon The True Wilderness—that burdening yourself with little inconveniences is to miss the point of the season. Doubtless this is true if that’s all we do, yet even if we use it simply as an excuse to diet or save money, this is not without its uses. Looking after our bodies, ‘temples of the Holy Spirit’, as S. Paul reminds us, is a Christian duty, and prudent use of money is also a virtue. So let’s not be too quick to belittle the giving up of things for forty days. Yet Lent’s abstinence is of course a call to move deeper than this. We undergo lack in some minor way to show our solidarity both with our Lord’s suffering in the wilderness and with the suffering of those without our luxury to choose to go without. Even more, those times of inconvenience—the great desire for a drink at the end of a difficult day or whatever—can be ‘offered up’ as the phrase is, can be occasions for prayer, may be praying for those who are thirsty in the case I’ve just given, reflecting briefly on Jesus’ words from the Cross—‘I thirst’—which both reminds us that we’ll probably cope without a gin tonight and also raises our sights to heaven just a wee bit. Fasting is only one part of the devotions that the church urges upon us over the forty days. Alms-giving and prayer are the other two. Here at LSM we provide an easy opportunity for alms-giving by providing Lent boxes into which you can put spare change (saved from consuming fewer gins and tonics!) which go towards supporting the work of the Additional Curates’ Society, which provides priests in poor and populous parishes. It’s a chance to contribute towards other parishes lacking the blessings of full-time priestly ministry that we have at Little S. Mary’s. The LSM Lent Boxes need not be the beginning and end of our alms- giving, though. There is no shortage of charities worthy of our support, and if we don’t have the money then giving food to Jimmy’s and the Foodbank are excellent alternatives. If you don’t already, Lent is a great time to start and if you do then perhaps put a little more in than usual. The final element, prayer, is a reminder—given that we obviously don’t just pray in Lent—that the disciplines of this season, although we emphasise them particularly for these six weeks, are ones that we’re called to embrace throughout our Christian lives. Lent, if anything, is a taster and encouragement to adopt these practices for the other forty-six weeks of the year. That said, these spiritual muscle-stretches are not just about our living of our Christian lives generally, but are especially aimed at preparing us for Holy Week and Easter. The period from Palm Sunday to Easter Day is the most important time in the church’s life and of absolute obligation for anyone who takes the name of Christian seriously. The intensity of those days and the joy of the Easter festival are closely related to the extent to which we have prepared in the preceding weeks. I’m immensely grateful to Fr Max, therefore, for assisting us in our preparations for the power and joy of Holy Week and Easter by running our 2014 Lent Course. You can read more about it later in this newsletter, but in essence we will be exploring the senses together; just as our catholic worship engages all of who we are—smell, taste, sight and sound—so should our faith. I hope we can make every effort to be present. It will be a real aid to the deepening of our lives and a proper preparation for the annual gift of receiving the Resurrection afresh at Easter. Finally, do please keep Percy Hays* in your prayers. Percy is a young boy from LSM, now in the United States for treatment, who is very seriously ill with cancer. The prognosis is not good and he and his mum, dad, brothers and sister need all our prayerful love. Please make him a special intention in your prayers. With my love and prayer for you, I am yours in the Lord Fr Rob *Update: since Fr Robert wrote the above, the news has come in that Percy died on 24th February, without pain, in the hospital in Houston, Texas where he was being treated. His funeral Mass will be in LSM at 10:30am on Monday 17th March. May he rest in peace and rise in glory, and may his family know the grace and comfort of the Holy Spirit at this very sad time. Touching the Word of Life LSM Lent Course 2014 That which has existed from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have watched and touched with our hands, the Word of life—this is our theme (1 John 1:1). When I left Westcott last summer to join you at Little St Mary’s, I was asked to contribute to the College yearbook. The editor asked me for a picture, a highlight of Westcott life (lowlights were, surprisingly, not required), a prayer, and a favourite passage of Scripture. After much dithering, I finally settled on the verse of 1 John that you can see above. I chose it partly, I suppose, because of the pure beauty of the language. The sentence unravels over no less than three verses, and gives a powerful impression of John’s urgency and excitement to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with his readers. But I was also drawn to this verse because of its constant and direct appeal to the senses. John takes great pains to emphasize the physicality of God incarnate. The eternal Word of Life comes among us to be heard by human ears, seen with human eyes, and touched by human hands. A few years ago, during my Wantage days, I was taking communion to patients in the local hospital. And once I had finished distributing the sacrament to those sitting in the day room, one of the nurses who had been watching came up and spoke to me. After introducing herself, she asked me one simple question: ‘Do you know Jesus?’ I think my initial response was annoyance—What do you think? I’ve just come here to take communion to your patients? Fortunately, I was too polite to say what I felt, and instead gave her something mild about knowing Him a bit and wanting to know Him more. It might have been easier, on reflection, just to say ‘yes.’ But ever since then, I’ve wondered how I might have answered that question more honestly, and what it might mean to ‘know’ Jesus Christ, and Him crucified, as Paul says in the first letter to the Corinthians. On one level, ‘knowing Jesus’ could just be an intellectual thing, a belief in His existence, His teaching, His acts, and, of course, supremely in His resurrection. But if our faith is one based not on a theory or an idea but on a person, then ‘knowing Jesus’ must mean something more. When we speak of ‘knowing’ a person, we mean far more than believing they exist, or that they have done certain things. It is not just intellectual. When we say we ‘know’ somebody, we mean that we have all kinds of experiences of them. We have heard and recognise their voice, we have seen their face and could pick them out in a crowd. In our closest relationships, we might even know what they feel like to our touch, or what they smell like.

  • 1 Alec Vidler on Christian Faith and Secular Despair Born in Rye
    Alec Vidler On Christian Faith and Secular Despair Born in Rye, Sussex, son of a shipping businessman, Alec Vidler ( 1899‐1991)was educated at Sutton Valence School, Kent, read theology at Selwyn College, Cambridge (B.A. 1921),then trained for the Anglican ministry at Wells Theological College. He disliked Wells and transferred to the Oratory of the Good Shepherd, Cambridge, an Anglo‐Catholic community of celibates, and was ordained priest in 1923. He retained a life‐time affection for the celibate monkish life, never marrying but having a wide range of friends, including Malcolm Muggeridge, who was at Selwyn with him. Muggeridge’s father was a prominent Labourite and Vidler imbibed leftist sympathies in that circle. His first curacy was in Newcastle, working in the slums. He soon came to love his work with working class parishioners and was reluctantly transferred to St Aidan’s Birmingham, where he became involved in a celebrated stoush with the bishop E. W. Barnes, himself a controversialist of note. Vidler’s Anglo‐ Catholic approach to ritual clashed with Barnes’s evangelicalism. Vidler began a prolific career of publication in the 1920s and 30s. In 1931 he joined friends like Wilfred Ward at the Oratory House in Cambridge, steeping himself in religious history and theology, including that of Reinhold Niebuhr and “liberal Catholicism”. In 1939 Vidler became warden of St Deiniol’s Library, Hawarden (founded by a legacy from Gladstone) and also editor of the leading Anglican journal Theology, which he ran until 1964, exerting considerable progressive influence across those years. He also facilitated a number of religious think‐tanks in these, and later, years.

  • TENSION of EXISTENCE an Analysis of Harry Williams
    Studies in Spirituality 29, 121-133. doi: 10.2143/SIS.29.0.3286941 © 2019 by Studies in Spirituality. All rights reserved. FIONA GARDNER TENSION OF EXISTENCE An Analysis of Harry Williams’ Responses to the Movement of Divine Presence The fact is we can love God and our neighbour only at the expense of being able to hate both of them (…) Unless we are ready to entertain this conflict between love and hatred we shall never grow in the love of God and man.1 SUMMARY – This paper uses some of the relevant ideas of the philosopher Eric Voegelin and the analytical psychologist Carl Jung as a theoretical and critical framework to reflect on and consider the mental breakdown and psycho-spiritual experiences of the theologian Harry Williams that allowed him to move from a state of spiritual closure to one of differentiation and spiritual opening that characterizes his writings. Each interpretive approach offers differing emphases yet together provide a seamlessly compatible way of understanding Williams’ emergence into his true nature and spiritual authenticity. INTRODUCTION In 1976 Harry Williams’ book Tensions was published; based on retreat addresses the book explores conflictual feelings such as love and hate, depend- ence and independence, faith and doubt, knowing and not knowing. Williams’ premise, founded on his personal experiences, is that conflict is life, and hold- ing the tension of opposing thoughts and feelings is part of an authentic spirituality. His autobiography, published some years later, is still extraordinary for the account of his mental breakdown, the demolition of his false religious persona and his struggle to understand his psyche and his true God.2 Williams 1 H.A.

  • Statement "I Will Never Submit to My Country Being Put Into The
    263 Re-armed" he pointed to an urgent task - this was in 1950 - which was the prevention of any conniving at a continuation of German militarism. "It is not dead : it'will take a generation to get it out of the blood. Until then it is dangerous policy to encourage a revival of militarism in a people who have proved themselves more aggressive and vastly more efficient than Russia or any other European people". (4) In the same year Hunter referred to an over-riding political issue by quoting Archbishop C. F. Garbett, his much-esteemed metropolitan, 'Our party politics are the games of children playing on the sands compared with the... necessity of finding some agreement by which this ghastly threat to the human race (sc. the hydrogen bomb) can be removed. ' This can only be done, Hunter commented, "by an effective, realistic attempt once again to reach agreement with Russia". (5) He did not venture on any political theorising as to how agreement might be forthcoming. He could console himself with the thought that this was the -ý ölitician's task into which sphere the layman should not enter. Ten years later in the House of Lords Hunter spoke cogently in the_. debate on Disarmament and indicated underlying human factors which politicians ought to keep in mind. He supported the Archbishop of York (A. M. Ramsey) who had intervened earlier to say that "the right moral demand is... for disarmament by agreement" (6) and had listened to Viscount Alexander of Hillsborough's patriotic statement "I will never submit to my country being put into the unilateral position of being the only main Power that provides 264 no defence for the rights of its citizens".

  • Catholics Incorporated: Class, Power, and the Politics
    CATHOLICS INCORPORATED: CLASS, POWER, AND THE POLITICS OF ASSIMILATION IN NINETEENTH CENTURY AMERICA By PATRICK T. MCGRATH A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of T.J. Jackson Lears And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Catholics Incorporated: Class, Power, and the Politics of Assimilation in Nineteenth Century America By PATRICK T. MCGRATH Dissertation Director: T.J. Jackson Lears This project takes as its subject the integration of Catholicism into nineteenth-century American society, politics, and culture. Adopting a cross-regional approach, the dissertation argues that by midcentury the Church was far better integrated into the American South than the North, and had forged a powerful alliance with the Southern planter elite and the Southern-dominated Democratic Party. In the aftermath of the Civil War, the Church increasingly forged an alliance with the growing Irish- American middle-class, whose influence within Democratic politics proved critical to the advancement of Catholic interests. During the Gilded Age the Church itself proved an arena of ideological conflict, as working-class radicals and Irish-American elites sought to define the Church’s relationship to power and poverty. In the 1890s, however, many working-class radicals returned to the Church and embraced Catholic conservatism. At 1900 the Irish-dominated institutional Church defined itself as a bulwark of conservatism, moral order, and “American” values against the threat of secular radicals and liberals.

  • 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.

Looking at Gore’s thought over a whole range of theological areas, this dissertation advances Gore’s theology of priesthood and develops his rich theological legacy with fresh insight into what he suggests the ordained priesthood may be called to be and do. As such it uncovers how the theology of priesthood is tied into Gore’s entire theological vision, connecting to his accounts of the Church, the sacraments and the incarnation.
