  • Bounding Around the Foundry We Find the Foundry Fascinating, and See Our Bells in Progress
    Christ Church Link November 2014 l New series Number 31 l 50p where sold Bounding around the foundry We find the foundry fascinating, and see our bells in progress On Thursday 9 October, a party of 25 of us from Christ Church enjoyed a tour of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. We saw how bells are cast (in moulds made of clay, sand, goat hair and horse dung!) and tuned (by having metal shaved out of them on a big turntable). Our new bells are arriving on Monday 8 December, and will be dedicated on Sunday 21 December by Bishop Peter Hancock, who will be presiding on that day instead of our patronal festival on 23 November as originally scheduled. Glimpses of our visit to Whitechapel Bell Foundry. The two bells in the foreground of the picture above are two of our new bells, still to be tuned. Improving access Mothers’ Union news Sylvia Ayers writes: Have YOU bought your MU Christmas Cards yet?? A colourful poster depicting them all is on the MU noticeboard, and, as with all good things, the early bird catches the worm. As usual, the cards come in packs of 10, so late ordering or a shortage of supplies may result in you missing out on a favourite choice. Do let Sylvia have your “cash with order” now if you would like to take advantage of our seasonal offer. Both Canon Angela and Margaret would like to thank everyone for their support at the MU Indoor Members’ Communion Service on October 17th, which ranged from welcoming our visitors to serving the refreshments, a task at which Angela (Verger) is particularly good! Both this and the meeting with our World-Wide President Lynn Temby at Monkton Combe School on 22nd, are very important events in the MU Calendar, so we thank everyone for their attendance and interest.

  • The Survival of the Confraternities in Post-Reformation Dublin
    The Survival of the Confraternities in Post-Reformation Dublin COLM LENNON St. Patrick 's College, Maynooth When the Reformation came to Dublin in the 1530s it might have seemed as if the age of the confraternities or religious guilds of the city was over. As elsewhere in Europe, these institutions provided conduits for obituar- ial prayer for members and their families, welfare for the deprived, education for the young, and pomp and pageantry for citizens during the civic year. Handsomely endowed with gifts of money, lands and houses, the guilds gave employment to an increasing number of lay-ap- pointed chaplains who celebrated mass at the confraternal altars in the parish churches of Dublin. By the early sixteenth century the guilds had acquired the titles to properties yielding hundreds of pounds per annum in rents from estates in the city, suburbs and vicinity. Membership incorporated men and women from all social orders within the munici- pality, although the preponderance of patrician brothers and sisters in certain key guilds such as those of St. Sythe's in St. Michan's, St. Anne's in St. Audoen's and Corpus Christi in St. Michael's parish was to be a significant feature of their later survival into the seventeenth century. Con- tinuity with medieval devotions was enshrined in the practices and pieties of the guilds, those of St. George and St. Mary's, Mulhuddard, providing an awning for holy wells to the east and west of the city, for example, and the fresco behind the altar of St. Anne's denoting veneration of the holy family.

  • John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal
    John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal Ágnes Juhász-Ormsby The Episcopal Library of St. John’s is among the few nineteenth- century libraries that survive in their original setting in the Atlantic provinces, and the only one in Newfoundland and Labrador.1 It was established by John Thomas Mullock (1807–69), Roman Catholic bishop of Newfoundland and later of St. John’s, who in 1859 offered his own personal collection of “over 2500 volumes as the nucleus of a Public Library.” The Episcopal Library in many ways differs from the theological libraries assembled by Mullock’s contemporaries.2 When compared, for example, to the extant collection of the Catholic bishop of Victoria, Charles John Seghers (1839–86), whose life followed a similar pattern to Mullock’s, the division in the founding collection of the Episcopal Library between the books used for “private” as opposed to “public” theological study becomes even starker. Seghers’s books showcase the customary stock of a theological library with its bulky series of manuals of canon law, collections of conciliar and papal acts and bullae, and practical, dogmatic, moral theological, and exegetical works by all the major authors of the Catholic tradition.3 In contrast to Seghers, Mullock’s library, although containing the constitutive elements of a seminary library, is a testimony to its found- er’s much broader collecting habits. Mullock’s books are not restricted to his philosophical and theological studies or to his interest in univer- sal church history. They include literary and secular historical works, biographies, travel books, and a broad range of journals in different languages that he obtained, along with other necessary professional 494 newfoundland and labrador studies, 32, 2 (2017) 1719-1726 John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal tools, throughout his career.

A stunning image of the sun, moon and the stars reflecting in a stained glass church panel will adorn a new series of stamps unveiled by An Post today to mark the 150th anniversary of the Disestablishment of the Church of Ireland. The new national €1 stamp bears the image of the iconic panel that graces the window of the Cathedral of Saint Fin Barr in Cork city. Alison Bray reports in Independent.ie. [email protected] Page 2 January 8, 2021 The new series, designed by Dublin’s Vermillion Design company, pays homage to the Church of Ireland’s break from the Church of England and the State when it was officially disestablished on January 1, 1871. The act, along with the introduction of Home Rule and the Land Act under then British Prime Minister William Gladstone was among his efforts to deal with the so-called ‘Irish question’ while removing the status of a State church “that had commanded the allegiance of only a minority of the population,” according to An Post. Commemorative postage The Most Revd Dr Michael Jackson, Archbishop of Dublin and Bishop of Glendalough, gave his blessing to the new series. He said: "Disestablishment has enabled the Church of Ireland to be free to shape its own future.

He himself will be peace.” (Mi 5:3-4) On 24 September, in her home in Rostrevor, Mrs Josephine Nolan, the mother of Fr Mark-Eph- rem, passed away peacefully at the age of 88. Since the end of July, the state of her health had been slowly deteriorating. The first secular oblate of our Monastery (under the name of Sr Benedict), a wo- man of faith and prayer, she was loyal in her support and friendship for our community. On 27 September, we held her funeral in a crowded church, in the presence of our Bishop John McAreavey, Bishop Raymond Field, the Auxiliary Bishop of Dublin, the deans of the Anglican cathed- rals of Downpatrick and Armagh, and many friends of all denominations. Mrs Nolan is henceforth re- posing beside her husband Ian, in our Monastery’s cemetery. At a time when Dr Rowan Williams has recently resigned as Archbishop of Canterbury, we in- vite you to reflect on a sermon he delivered on 25 December 2004 in Canterbury cathedral. It used to be said that if you were travelling by ocean liner, the worst thing you could do was to visit the engine room; and I’m afraid it’s a point people make to discourage you from visiting the Vatican or Church House, or even Lambeth Palace..
