BY JAMES DRUMMOND, ESQ., R.S.A., F.S.A. SOOT. These notes are founded on observations chiefly made during a holiday monte inth Augusf ho t 1873. They were originally embodie lettea n i dr to David Douglas, Esq., but have since been extended in various direc- tions, preserving, however, their epistolary and discursive character. extensione th n I I shav e mad eI hav e been ofte largeld nan y aidey db Mr Joseph Anderson—so often and so largely that a general acknowledg- ment becomes almos onle th t y thing possible. The notes refer only to those objects of archmological interest which I happened to see, and regarding which—or oftener perhaps regarding what they suggested—I had something to say which appeared to me more or less new.

  • Anniversary of the Dedication of the Monastic Church of Holy Cross Monastery (Rostrevor) (Ephesians 2:19-22 / John 4:19-24) 18.01.2015
    Anniversary of the Dedication of the Monastic Church of Holy Cross Monastery (Rostrevor) (Ephesians 2:19-22 / John 4:19-24) 18.01.2015 Right Rev Dom Hugh Gilbert OSB (Bishop of Aberdeen) Around the year 600, a Spanish bishop – Isidore of Seville – wrote a book on the liturgy of the Church. And one of the chapters is on ‘Temples’ – in our terms, ‘On the Dedication of Churches’. It’s very short and it says this: “Moses, the lawgiver, was the first to dedicate a Tabernacle to the Lord. Then Solomon ... established the Temple. After these, in our own times, faith has consecrated buildings for Christ throughout the world.” The word that jumps out there is the word “faith”. Faith, he says, “has consecrated buildings for Christ throughout the world.” He has mentioned Moses and Solomon. What we’d expect, when he gets to now, is bishops consecrate buildings for Christ. They do, after all. Bishop John dedicated this church on 18 January 2004. And it was the same in St. Isidore’s day. But he goes deeper. He goes to what makes us Christians and come together in community. He goes to the root which makes us build churches in the first place and want them to be consecrated. He goes back to what gathers people round their bishop and to what moves the bishop to celebrate the liturgy for us. He goes back to what brings us here week after week, and the monks five times a day: faith. “After these – after the Tabernacle and the Temple – in our own times, faith has consecrated buildings for Christ throughout the world.” This is what it is about! We’re familiar with chapter 11 of the Letter to the Hebrews.

  • Response from the RC Diocese of Aberdeen - ACC Consultation on Future of St Peter’S & Riverbank Primary Schools - Nov/Dec 2016 - P a G E | 1
    Response from the RC Diocese of Aberdeen - ACC Consultation on Future of St Peter’s & Riverbank Primary Schools - Nov/Dec 2016 - P a g e | 1 As this Consultation has unfolded, there has been no shortage of articulate and engaged adults, with opinions that need to be heard. They seek to achieve a shared goal - the best possible educational future for their children; they do not, however, share a unified vision of how to get there. This might seem to be precisely the place where the opinion of the Church, especially with regard to St Peter’s, might help. Until relatively recently, however, it has been difficult to identify, within either the proposals presented for consultation (Options A and B), or a subsequent development that arose from discussion among St Peter’s parents (Option C), any position that seems uniquely ‘right’. The consequence of this was that little specific guidance could, in the early stages, be offered to anyone who might seek that from the local Church; neither could we offer unstinting support to individuals or groups supporting one or other point of view. The consultation process, in fact, benefits from this dearth of guidance. The local Church has been listening with ACC to the many voices that have contributed to the Consultation. It has been a positive experience. Various features of the picture have become clear: 1. St Peter’s and Riverbank are both excellent and happy schools searching for a future. 2. They serve communities, each of which is making entirely legitimate demands for their children. They are not exaggerating their needs.

  • Guide to the Church of St Thomas of Canterbury
    GUIDE TO THE CHURCH OF ST THOMAS OF CANTERBURY, HORCOTT BY Richard Barton April 2003 Historical Background The first mention of a church at Fairford dates from the eleventh century but, except for the lower part of the central tower, it was completely rebuilt from about 1490. John Leland states that ‘John Tame began the fair new Chirche of Fairforde and Edmund Tame finished it’. The new church was consecrated on June 20th 1497 and its great benefactor died on May 8th 1500 and his tomb is situated close to Our Lady’s Altar in St Mary’s Church. This fine old Parish Church is renowned for its complete set of original stained glass windows and offers us a picture of pre-Reformation piety and devotion. From the religious settlement of Queen Elizabeth I, St Mary’s Church ceased to be a place of Roman Catholic worship and its clergy were no longer in full communion with the See of Rome. However, on May 24th 2000, the Vicar, Churchwardens and Parochial Church Council invited the local Catholic community to celebrate Mass there once again to mark the beginning of the new millennium. The story of the local Catholic Mission moves to Hatherop Castle where the families of Blomer and Webb maintained a priest and private chapel from the seventeenth century until the death of Lady Barbara de Mauley in 1844. There is a fine recumbent effigy of Lady Barbara, placed between two standing angels, in her memorial chapel in the Anglican Parish Church of St Nicholas at Hatherop. It is in white marble and was beautifully carved in the most natural detail by Raffaelle Monti in 1848, the year that Monti fled to England after serving in the Risorgimento.

  • Northern Light, August 2016
    Northern Light News from the Scottish Episcopal Church - Diocese of Aberdeen & Orkney September 2016 Scottish Charity No. SC022180 Issue 94 Autumn Edition BOB’S AWAY On 24th June 2016 we gathered at St Colman’s Church in Burravoe on the Island of Yell with Bishop Bob, to officially and formally give thanks for his ministry with us and alongside us. St Colman’s happens to be the most northerly Scottish Episcopal Church, and of course the most northerly church in the Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney. We welcomed to the service, entitled “Bob’s Away”, Methodist and Church of Scotland ministers and brother and sisters and we made presentations to Bishop Bob in a reception following the service in the community hall. It was a joyous celebration of Bob’s ministry with us, as well as a celebration of our own shared discipleship and ministry on Yell. As the picture shows, Bishop Bob called us to worship by ringing the ship’s bell which hangs at the church door. He heralded the beginning of what is probably the first of the celebrations marking Bishop Bob’s retirement later this year. Perhaps it was symbolic that this began in the most northerly point of the Diocese? What was also poignant was that the 24th June is also to anniversary of Bishop Bob’s ordination as Deacon. This was not known as the service began and Bishop Bob highlighted this personal note during the service at St Colman’s. Two days later we also had a service at St Magnus’ Church in Lerwick at which we made presentations to Bishop Bob and Liz, and he responded by telling us that that day also happened to be the anniversary of his priesting! Sad though it is often is to say farewell to people “moving on” we were privileged to be able to hold these services in June heralding what we expect to be a chorus of thanksgiving for Bob’s ministry as Bishop of this Diocese.
