BRIDGE....Centenary Special Edition - July 2005 It Was Southwark Diocese’S 100Th Birthday on the Weekend of 2 and 3 July 2005 TheBRIDGE....Centenary Special Edition - July 2005 It was Southwark Diocese’s 100th birthday on the weekend of 2 and 3 July 2005. The events in Lambeth Palace Gardens on Saturday and at the Cathedral and in its grounds on Sunday were a wonderful celebration of all that Southwark has been and is. In this commemorative edition of the Bridge we’ll try to give you a flavour of the Diocese and its history and the celerations to mark the centenary.

  • Christian Public Ethics Sagepub.Co.Uk/Journalspermissions.Nav Tjx.Sagepub.Com Robin Gill
    Theology 0(0) 1–9 ! The Author(s) 2015 Reprints and permissions: Christian public ethics sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav tjx.sagepub.com Robin Gill This special online issue of Theology focuses upon Christian public ethics or, more specifically, upon those forms of Christian ethics that have contributed sig- nificantly to public debate. Throughout the 95 years of the journal’s history, there has been discussion about public ethics (even if it has not always been named as such). However, Christian public ethics had a particular flourishing between 1965 and 1975, when Professor Gordon Dunstan (1918–2004) was editor. When I became editor of Theology in January 2014, I acknowledged at once my personal debt to Gordon. He encouraged and published my very first article when I was still a postgraduate in 1967, and several more articles beyond that. And, speaking personally, his example of deep engagement in medical ethics was inspirational. When he died, The Telegraph noted the following among his many achievements: He was president of the Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology and vice-president of the London Medical Group and of the Institute of Medical Ethics. During the 1960s he was a member of a Department of Health Advisory Group on Transplant Policy, and from 1989 to 1993 he served on a Department of Health committee on the Ethics of Gene Therapy. From 1990 onwards he was a member of the Unrelated Live Transplant Regulatory Authority and from 1989 to 1993 he served on the Nuffield Council on Bioethics. (19 January 2004) The two most substantial ethical contributions that I have discovered in searching through back issues of Theology were both published when he was editor and were doubtless directly encouraged by him.

Chapter 5 ‘WE’RE ALL INDIVIDUALS’: WHEN LIFE OF BRIAN COLLIDED WITH THATCHERISM* 1. Satire, Comedy, and Freedom As David Harvey has shown, as part of the cultural shift towards neoliberalism in the 1960s and 1970s, the rhetoric of freedom, liberty, and individualism could be constructed in opposition to ‘the stiÀing bureaucratic ineptitude of the state apparatus and oppressive trade union power’.1 This rhetoric would manifest itself in a range of seemingly contradictory ways but, despite sharp differences and interests, the devel- oping neoliberal consensus would harness some of the key similarities. On the one hand, Margaret Thatcher and her circle were pushing for radical economic change and challenging and recon¿guring traditional upper-class dominance and consensual politics, eventually paving the way for a new dominant class of sometimes provocative entrepreneurs. On the other hand, the youth movements, pop culture, and political satirists would mock politicians, the upper classes, the British class system, and union bureaucracy, and even provide a cultural and leisure resource for the new entrepreneurs.

The draft Scheme carried the following as the diocesan rationale for your proposals: As the result of ongoing concerns about the financial viability and capacity for governance and mission going forward, the Bishop of Southwark held a Visitation to the parish of All Saints, Spring Park in 2016. This was conducted by the Bishop and Archdeacon of Croydon. A series of Directions were issued as a result of this, designed to help the parish to address these areas. There has sadly been no evidence that this has been the case nor has the parish demonstrated the future capacity to do so.

CHARLES COX (by Canon Maudce Abbott, Ince Blundell Hall, Back O'Th Town Lane, Liverpool, L38 5JL) First impressions stay with us, they say; and ever since my school days when my parents took me with them on their frequent visits to old churches, I have maintained a constant interest in them. This became a lifelong pursuit on my 20th birthday, when my father gave me a copy of The Parish Churches ot' England by J. Charles Cox and Charles Bradley Ford. In his preface, written in March 1935, Mr Ford pointed out that Dr Cox's English Parish Church was lirsl published in 1914, and was the recognised handbook on its subiect. In time the book became out of print and it was felt that a revised edition would be appropriate, because Cox was somewhat discutsive in his writrng. The text was pruned and space made for the inclusion of a chapter on'Local Varieties in Design'. This was based on Cox's original notes on the subject and other sources. I found this book quite fascinating and as the years went by I began to purchase second-hand copies of Cox's works and eventually wanted to know more about the man himself.

The interest with which I have read his pages will I am sure be shared by all who have at heart the well-being of an Institution which occupies a unique place in English history, although happily there is not anything unique nowadays in the endeavour which the Magdalen Hospital makes in face of a gigantic evil. The story Mr. Compston tells gives abundant evidence of the change for the better in public opinion regarding this crying wrong and its remedy. It shows too the growth of a sounder judg- ment as to the methods of dealing with it. For every reason it is right that this book should have been written, and Mr.

  • The Building on History Project 5-6
    www.open.ac.uk/buildingonhistory engaging with the past to shape the future the experience of building on history: the church in london BOH_pages_v2.indd 1 01/12/2011 10:38 BOH_pages_v2.indd 2 01/12/2011 10:38 Foreword Foreword “He led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.” [Psalm CVI] The Bible unfolds a historical drama whose author is ultimately God and the community of faith continually rehearses its story as a way of discerning the deep structure of the theo-drama and gathering energy for fresh adventures. The story of Jesus Christ himself is repeatedly related in the New Testament to previous actors in drama, notably Moses. Now is the time when the contemporary community of faith needs to refresh its understanding of the way the church has travelled or we shall lurch between unreasonable optimism and unwarranted despair. The past does not teach directly applicable lessons but it rhymes and serves to reveal perennial themes and temptations. A sense of the history in which we are involved can help us to see more clearly the contemporary roles we are being called to play. It is often said that “mission and ministry should be under girded with theology” but the understanding of what constitutes “theology” is frequently thin and a-historical. Theology is also distilled from the narrative of God’s dealings with the people he has called throughout the history of the church and the cultures in which she has been set. In my experience the church has lacked candour and sophistication in reflecting on and evaluating its own fashions and strategies.

  • 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, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 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.

God and Mrs Thatcher: Religion and Politics in 1980s Britain Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2010 Liza Filby University of Warwick University ID Number: 0558769 1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own. ……………………………………………… Date………… 2 Abstract The core theme of this thesis explores the evolving position of religion in the British public realm in the 1980s. Recent scholarship on modern religious history has sought to relocate Britain‟s „secularization moment‟ from the industrialization of the nineteenth century to the social and cultural upheavals of the 1960s. My thesis seeks to add to this debate by examining the way in which the established Church and Christian doctrine continued to play a central role in the politics of the 1980s. More specifically it analyses the conflict between the Conservative party and the once labelled „Tory party at Prayer‟, the Church of England. Both Church and state during this period were at loggerheads, projecting contrasting visions of the Christian underpinnings of the nation‟s political values. The first part of this thesis addresses the established Church.
