An inquiry into the life of George Wishart presented few attractions. Believing that he claimed the gift of prophecy, Mr Hill Burton * describes him as " a visionary." Mr Froudef charges him with preaching without authority and with illegally assuming the priestly office. Professor Lorimer| alleges that, in his early ministry, he denied the doctrine of the Atonement. Mr Tytler§ has sought to prove that he intended murder, by conspiring against the life of Cardinal Beaton. Having ventured on the elucidation of his history, I have investigated the charges brought against him, with care and, I trust, impartiality. The result will be found in these pages. Meanwhile I may summarise my deductions, and say that the martyr has, from the inquiry, come forth unstained. He did not claim prophetic powers ; he preached with canonical sanction ; he did not act as a priest or ordained clergyman ; he taught the doctrine of the Atonement through- out his whole ministry ; he did not conspire against Beaton, and if he knew of the conspiracy he condemned it.

  • ST EBBA's SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL CHURCH EYEMOUTH December
    ST EBBA’S SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL CHURCH EYEMOUTH December 2015/January 2016 Times of worship Every Sunday: 11am Eucharist in church OSCR number SC023275 Dear Members of St Ebba's, When the Editor asked Vestry members if we would consider taking a turn at writing the 'letter' at the front of the magazine I thought to myself well, no, couldn't do that. However, an idea did come to me. St Ebba's congregation, like many other small churches, is ageing and shrinking. It is always possible that a family or two may arrive in Eyemouth and seek out the local Episcopal church. (This happened at a small country church in Lancashire which totally transformed the congregation) but in the absence of this miracle I feel it is up to each and every one of us to try our best to do something to increase our numbers. If someone asks you what are you doing this weekend or what did you get up to on Sunday, do you tell them that you'll be going to church or that you went to church? I don't believe in ramming religion down people's throats but I make a point of mentioning it maybe to gauge reaction, be different or mostly because so few of us are attending church now and going to church needs all the mentions it can get! There are a lot of other activities going on and church attendance is never considered these days. If you meet someone new to the area and church or Sunday activities come into the conversation, tell them about St Ebba's.

  • 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, Cajsa Sandgren, Ms., Ecumenical Department, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 10/1 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.
