Stanley – and one needed only to mention his Christian name, and all would know who was meant – was born in the West Indies in the palmy years between the wars. His birthday, 21st April, he shared with pride with Princess Elizabeth, now our Queen. A few years ago, he returned to the Bahamas to check out his birthplace, and whilst there he obtained Bahamian nationality. He was very proud of his two passports! When his parents returned to England the young Stanley was to grow up at Minster-in-Sheppey. His father was a Church Warden there, and Stanley was a Server. He maintained his Sheppey home until quite recent years. His father was a senior Councillor on Sheppey District Council. Stanley would often tell the story of father riding on the last train from Queenborough to Leysdown on the Sheppey Light Railway, now no more. Stanley was educated at Borden Grammar School, near Sittingbourne. Approaching 14, he was confirmed in Minster Abbey by Archbishop William Temple. It was during those confirmation groups in 1943 that the Vicar announced that the wartime ban on bell ringing was being lifted, and would they like to serve the church by learning to ring? The answer was at once clear to Stanley. He and his fellow-conscripts were “roped in”: under the direction of Mr Dobbie and the band of St Michael’s, Sittingbourne they learned the art, Stanley opining that it all came through good teaching. By the time that Stanley left school, he was Tower Captain at Minster Abbey, and had rung his first peal. One of his achievements is recorded on a tablet on the walls of Minster Abbey ringing chamber, proudly bearing the words ‘Stanley M. Evans, Captain’. Stanley’s call to Ordination had come early, and he never wavered. Although he had two years’ National Service in the Royal Air Force (which he seemed to have enjoyed), it was King’s College, London which awarded him a place and where he trained for the Ministry. He did his fourth-year training at St Boniface College, Warminster and graduated with an AKC. He was ordained in 1954 in Canterbury Cathedral by Archbishop Geoffrey Fisher, and went to serve his first Curacy at St Oswald, Norbury, Croydon.

    Churchman E D I T O R I a L

    Churchman E DITORIAL Sheep without a Shepherd? One of the side-effects of the decision to consecrate women as bishops in the Church of England has been the official recognition of the need to appoint an Evangelical bishop with a brief to minister to those who cannot accept female episcopal oversight. That some concessions would have to be made to the conservatives in the Church has been clear all along, and in that sense, the news that such an appointment will be made is not particularly surprising. The battles of the past few years over women bishops have been quite vicious at times, and honest observers have had to admit that the blame for this rests on the shoulders of the victors, who cannot (or will not) understand their opponents’ point of view. Worse still, the victors have done their best to silence objectors altogether, even if the people concerned are in principle on their side. It is impossible to forget the attempt that was made to impeach Philip Giddings, the chairman of the House of Laity in General Synod, merely because he voted against the immediate introduction of women bishops. Dr Giddings supports the consecration of women but he thought that the provisions being offered to those who disagree with that were not generous enough, and when he was attacked for his principled stand it was clear to most people that things had gone too far. Even the archbishop of Canterbury was moved to comment that how we treat one another when differences divide us actually matters—the notion of ‘good disagreement,’ which he is now so keen to promote, can almost certainly be traced back to this unhappy episode.

    Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments

    Issue 10, Summer 2018 Kent Archives is set for a busy summer. In this edition of our newsletter we introduce you to our joint project with Findmypast to digitise our parish register collection. The image in our header is from the first Cranbrook parish composite register [ref. P100/1/A/1], and is just one of the thousands of registers that will be digitised. We are also in the middle of transferring the remaining historic records of the Diocese of Canterbury from Canterbury Cathedral Archives to the Kent History and Library Centre to join its probate records, which have been held by Kent Archives since 1946. At the same time, archive cataloguing of one of Maidstone’s major papermaking collections is nearly complete; further World War I commemorative activities are underway; and work continues on the Catalogue Transfer Project and Manorial Documents Register Project for Kent. Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments [DCb/PRC/50/5] Mark Ballard, Archive Service Officer Among many other records of great value within the records of Canterbury Diocese are the ‘medieval fragments’ [DCb/PRC/49 and DCb/PRC/50], which in the post-Reformation period came to be used as covers, or ‘end-parchments’, for the probate registers. If we can judge by the dates of the act books and wills and inventories registers they covered, this recycling became a habit during the episcopate of Archbishop Matthew Parker (1559-1575). It is perhaps ironic that at precisely the time that Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, probably both closet Roman Catholics, were still being employed to write motets for the Chapel Royal, such disrespectful treatment was being accorded at Canterbury to their medieval predecessors.

    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

    The Rt Revd the Bishop of Southwark Rex Andrew Pastoral By email only Our ref: NB37/256b 30 October 2020 Dear Bishop Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 Benefice and parish of All Saints, Spring Park; and parishes of St George, Shirley; and Shirley (also known locally as St John, Shirley) Proposed Pastoral Scheme Following the publication of the draft Pastoral Scheme providing for: (i) the dissolution of the benefice and parish of All Saints, Spring Park and the division of the area of its parish between the parishes of St George, Shirley; and Shirley (also known locally as St John, Shirley); (ii) the parish church of All Saints, Spring Park to become a chapel of ease in the parish of Shirley; (iii) the transfer of the parsonage house of the benefice of All Saints, Spring Park to the Southwark Diocesan Board of Finance as diocesan glebe we received 45 representations against the draft Scheme, 12 in favour, three letters of comment and five which were received out of time (one of which consists of photographs supplementing a representation made within time). 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.

    Women, the State of Play Analytical Reflection on 20 Interviews in the Diocese of Leicester

    Women, The State of Play Analytical Reflection on 20 Interviews in the Diocese of Leicester October 2020 Women, The State of Play Analytical Reflection on 20 Interviews in the Diocese of Leicester October 2020 Bishops’ Foreword We are deeply grateful to Karen Rooms, Women’s Ministry Enabler, and to the Diocese of Leicester Women’s Ministry Working Group for the work that has gone into this excellent report. Although the publication has been delayed by the pandemic and lockdown, it is a timely reminder both of the importance of thorough research to inform our decision making, and also of the journey we have begun, but certainly not completed, to ensure the flourishing of the ministry of women in the diocese. We are also grateful to Nick Ladd who has acted as a ‘critical friend’ in reviewing the report and giving an external perspective on the questions we need to ask ourselves in the diocese. The report makes for uncomfortable reading. We have come a long way in recent years, but the report highlights how easy it is to become complacent. With the appointment of Bishop Guli, the first ever female bishop in the history of the Diocese of Leicester, and the appointment of Archdeacon Claire, the first ever female archdeacon, and with the Bishop’s Leadership Team nearing a 50/50 split of men and women, it would be easy to assume that we have reached our goal and everything else will automatically fall into place. However, while it is important to celebrate how far we have come, it is also critical to acknowledge the deep pain still being experienced by many in the diocese.

He then introduced Hannah Robinson, Youth Adviser for the Barking Area and Mark Tiddy, Youth Adviser for the Bradwell Area. Hannah Robinson shared a possible vision for the Church, one that was centred on intergenerational ministry. Mark Tiddy went on to explain the journey of the Youth Strategy document: There had been a substantive consultation process including parish surveys, consultation with young people in the Diocese and meetings with various committees. There was a hope to see this strategy put in to practice in every Mission and Ministry Unit and parish. The strategy was grounded in Transforming Presence, aimed at helping young people to grow in faith and to be part of a discipleship journey. 1 The strategy sought to empower young people and support them in their transitions.

Canterbury Diocese 5. Dover Deanery 2 1. The religious and spiritual challenges in the 21st century It is challenging for a religious culture to provide the immediate gratification and answers of technology so embedded in today’s world. Equally the pace of life and often financial pressures place demands on busy family life. In common with many congregations we want to expand the number of families and young people in our churches. In order for our churches to become sustainable worshipping communities that effectively take mission into the local area we need to look at ourselves and identify what we do well and what we are not achieving and why. We need to listen to God, celebrate what is good and play our part in enriching communities. We therefore would welcome the leadership, inspiration and support of a priest to enable and encourage us on this journey. 2. Our new priest We are looking for a part-time stipendiary priest (0.2FTE; Sunday plus 2 days) who will: Grow and enable mission and ministry within the communities of Temple Ewell and Lydden Have a deep commitment to pastoral care Have a vision for mission and outreach Be a visible, compassionate and sensitive presence in the communities Be an effective
