  • Conciliation Agreement in Full, with the Agreement of Both Parties
    STATEMENT A statement from the Diocese of Guildford EMBARGOED UNTIL WEDNESDAY 23 OCTOBER 2013, 6.01AM The Diocese of Guildford can confirm that a formal complaint by the Board of Deputies against the Revd Dr Stephen Sizer has been resolved through conciliation under the Clergy Discipline Measure. The process was led by two expert conciliators, senior figures from the Jewish and Anglican Christian communities, respectively Sir Gavin Lightman, a retired High Court Judge, and The Very Revd Dr Christopher Lewis, Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford. The process also included a face-to-face meeting between both parties The Bishop of Guildford, The Rt Revd Christopher Hill welcomed the outcome, saying: “I am deeply grateful for the painstaking work of Sir Gavin and Dr Lewis in bringing the parties together to achieve this positive outcome. I am equally thankful to Jonathan Arkush and Stephen Sizer for cooperating in agreement towards resolution of their differences. Both sides have agreed on the importance of engaging in free political debate without using insulting or offensive language. Dr Sizer will be taking more care in future when linking to external websites. “I am pleased to note that both parties have agreed to endeavour to resolve any future disputes promptly, informally and by personal contact’. “I welcome the sprit of this agreement as positive step towards Jewish-Christian understanding. I am also pleased to take this opportunity once again to emphasise how important it is for the Church to stand firm against all forms of prejudice and the evils of racial hatred.” ENDS Notes for editors The text of the Conciliators’ report to the Bishop is attached and may be published from 9am on Wednesday, 23 October.

    IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by James M. Donahue __________________________ Mark A. Noll, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana April 2015 © Copyright 2015 James M. Donahue IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 Abstract by James M. Donahue This dissertation traces the origins of the League of Nations movement during the First World War to a coalescent international network of ecumenical figures and Protestant politicians. Its primary focus rests on the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the Churches, an organization that drew Protestant social activists and ecumenical leaders from Europe and North America. The World Alliance officially began on August 1, 1914 in southern Germany to the sounds of the first shots of the war. Within the next three months, World Alliance members began League of Nations societies in Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. The World Alliance then enlisted other Christian institutions in its campaign, such as the International Missionary Council, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Blue Cross and the Student Volunteer Movement. Key figures include John Mott, Charles Macfarland, Adolf Deissmann, W. H. Dickinson, James Allen Baker, Nathan Söderblom, Andrew James M. Donahue Carnegie, Wilfred Monod, Prince Max von Baden and Lord Robert Cecil.

DOI: 5 The Clergy at the Courts of George I and George II STEPHEN TAYLOR In the years between the Reformation and the revolution of 1688 the court lay at the very heart of English religious life. Court bishops played an important role as royal councillors in matters concerning both church and commonwealth. 1 Royal chaplaincies were sought after, both as important steps on the road of prefer- ment and as positions from which to influence religious policy.2 Printed court sermons were a prominent literary genre, providing not least an important forum for debate about the nature and character of the English Reformation.

The Latitudinarian Influence on Early English Liberalism Amanda Oh Professor Wellman HIST 4300: Junior Seminar 30 April 2018 Part I: Introduction The end of the seventeenth century in England saw the flowering of liberal ideals that turned on new beliefs about the individual, government, and religion. At that time the relationship between these cornerstones of society fundamentally shifted. The result was the preeminence of the individual over government and religion, whereas most of Western history since antiquity had seen the manipulation of the individual by the latter two institutions. Liberalism built on the idea that both religion and government were tied to the individual. Respect for the individual entailed respect for religious diversity and governing authority came from the assent of the individual.

  • Women Bishops in the Church of England
    Women bishops in the Church of England Standard Note: SN/PC/03897 Last updated: 1 February 2010 Author: Lucinda Maer Section Parliament and Constitution Centre At present, women are prevented from becoming bishops under the 1993 Church of England Measure that permitted women to be ordained as priests. Although women can become priests, parishes can pass resolutions against the ministry of female priests in their parish. On 11 July 2005, the Church of England General Synod gave approval for setting in train “the process for removing the legal obstacles to the ordination of women to the episcopate”. In July 2006 the Synod agreed in principle to the consecration of women to the episcopate. The Women Bishops Legislative Drafting Group published its first report in April 2008. They set out a number of options for introducing women bishops, including providing a separate structure, or a code of practice, for those who would feel unable to accept a female bishop in their diocese. The House of Bishops proposed a motion for the Synod which would have allowed special arrangements to continue to be made for those who, as a matter of theological conviction, would be unable to receive the ministry of women as bishops or priests. The bishops favoured a ‘code of practice’ rather than a structural solution (one which would involve setting up new dioceses) to achieve this. On 7 July 2008, the Synod reaffirmed their majority support for the consecration of women to the episcopate. They decided that special arrangements should be made available to those whose theological convictions meant they were unable to receive the ministry of women priests or bishops, and there should be a ‘statutory national code of practice’ to which all concerned would have to have regard.
