I would like to address that situation, as well as several other changes that I have decided to make for the overall and long-term welfare of our parish. I want to begin by expressing my confidence in and respect for Deacon Dave, whose love for and dedication to this parish are so obvious. Over the past 15 years since his ordination to the permanent diaconate, and even before his ordination, he has tended generously to the needs of the people of this parish, and I pray that he will continue to do so into the future. With respect to Deacon Dave’s title as Parish Administrator, it is important to recognize that Canon Law envisions the position of Parish Administrator as “essentially transitory” until the appointment of a pastor. The recent Instruction from the Congregation for the Clergy in Rome, entitled The Pastoral Conversion of the Parish Community in the Service of the Evangelizing Mission of the Church makes this very clear: “75. If it is not possible to proceed immediately with the appointment of the Parish Priest (Pastor), the appointment of Parish Administrators must be done only in conformity with what is established in the canonical norms. In effect, the office of [Parish Administrator] is essentially transitory and is exercised while awaiting the appointment of the new Parish Priest.” Thus, in accord with Canon Law, the position of Parish Administrator here at St. James is no longer necessary, since we have a pastor, appointed by our Bishop, whose responsibilities by virtue of his pastoral office include those of a Parish Administrator. Therefore, instead of Parish Administrator, Deacon Dave’s new title is Pastoral Associate for Business Administration and Outreach. In that capacity, he will continue to serve our parish in a direct supervisory capacity over parish staff in the areas of business administration, facilities maintenance, social outreach (e.g., the St. Roch Outreach, etc.), youth ministry, and our “Summer at St. James” Summer Camp Program. These ministries comprise a significant part of our parish life here at St. James. In addition to those responsibilities, and together with Deacon James Munuhe and Deacon Bill Bronzi, Deacon Dave will continue to fulfill his proper liturgical roles by assisting at Mass, preaching, baptizing, witnessing weddings outside of Mass, and in various other roles that he currently fulfills. In other areas of parish life (e.g., Religious Education, Liturgy, etc.), while Deacon Dave will continue to be involved, I as pastor will assume my proper supervisory capacity over parish staff. The primary reason for this change is to foster more effective communication between myself as pastor and members of our parish staff by “streamlining” that process of communication. Parish Pastoral Council I would also like to add an additional comment about the importance of the Parish Pastoral Council. In the aforementioned Instruction from Rome, Pope Francis reminds us of the importance of pastoral councils: “How necessary pastoral councils are! A Bishop cannot guide a Diocese without pastoral councils. A Parish Priest cannot guide without pastoral councils (n. 108).” “Far from being simply a bureaucratic organ, the Pastoral Council highlights and realizes the centrality of the People of God as the subject and active protagonist of the evangelizing mission, in virtue of the fact that every member of the faithful has received the gift of the Spirit through Baptism and Confirmation… (n. 110)” “In light of this fundamental vision, the words of St. Paul VI come to mind, ‘It is the function of the Pastoral Council to investigate everything pertaining to pastoral activities, to weigh them carefully, and to set forth practical conclusions concerning them so as to promote conformity of the life and actions of the People of God with the Gospel,’ in an awareness that, as Pope Francis recalled, the purpose of such a council ‘should not be ecclesiastical organization but rather the missionary aspiration of reaching everyone’ (n. 110).” Because of the importance of the Pastoral Council, it is my desire to convene that Council here at St. James with greater frequency and regularity, that they may fulfill the vision set forth in the above Instruction. October 18, 2020 - 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 3 Parish Finance Council In a similar way, I also want to express my gratitude to those presently serving on our Parish Finance Council. Although their purpose is different from that of the Pastoral Council, their role is nevertheless important, and I want to pledge my continued presence and support to them in their own proper ministry here at St.

    484 The Church and the Jubilee. Here, then, we pause. If it be indeed true-as all revelation teaches, and as reason itself requires-that the course of this world is ordered by the Providence of God, it follows that 'the glory of our empire and its Sovereign have been part of the Divine purpose for the fulfilment of His WilL If we will discern what He would have us to do, and can second His pur­ pose with heart and soul and strength, happy are we, and may go on and celebrate our Queen's Jubilee with all rejoicing. But if not-if we are blinded by prosperity, or rendered indolent by security-let us be sure that His purpose shall be accomplished without our aid, while we, as an instrument which has proved untrustworthy in His hands, shall either be passed through the tempering fires and waters of suffering, or, perchance, be thrown altogether aside as others have been before us.

EW men valued public applause less than Bishop Fraser, yet few men have obtained so large a measure of it. It wasF not unmixed with unfriendly criticism; but he seldom con­ descended to notice either the censure or the praise. His)n­ fluence in Lancashire was a marvel to strangers. Mr. Thomas Hughes's biography will partly explain it. His wonderful activity and capacity for public duties, combined with his anxiety to help in every good work, involved him in engage­ ments the fulfilment of which seemed incredible.

Wordsworth, Ode to Duty, EARLY YEARS. BRIDGENORTH AND SHREWSBURY SCHOOLS, LINCOLN COLLEGE, OXFORD. 1818- 184O. James FrasER was born on the i8th of August 18 18, at 18 18 Oaklands House in the parish of Prestbury, a Gloucestershire to village nestling under the Cotsvvolds. His father, a cadet of 2 the Frasers of Durris, in Forfarshire, had gone to India when very young and been successful as a merchant. He was thus able to return home, and settle, at a comparatively early age. He married a daughter of Mr. John Willim, a leading Solicitor at Bilston, Staffordshire, and James was the eldest of their seven children, the others being five boys and one girl. For several years after his early childhood he spent most of his time at his grandfather's at Bilston, where he soon began to show the ability which marked him all his life.

    JAMES PHASER OP BREA Vol. 1 JAMES F R A S E R OP BREA 1639 - 1699. His Life and Writings, with special reference to his Theory of Universal Redemption, and its Influence on Religious Thought in Scotland. By DUNCAN PRASER M.A., Edin. Univ.,1924; Honours Diploma in Theology, New Coll., Edin., 1927; Junior Cunningham Fellow, New Coll., Edin., 1927. Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in the University of Edinburgh (Faculty of Divinity - Department of Ecclesiastical History). FOREWORD Dr. Alexander Whyte held that James Fraser of Brea was one of the ablest men in a time of able men, and that hie high and abiding value stood in this, that he turned his great intellectual gifts so powerfully to the interests of experimental religion. He confessed that Fraser was one of his prime favourites, and always stood at his elbow beside Augustine, Bunyan, Baxter, Edwards, Boston, Shepard, and Halyburton. Apart, however, from Dr. Whyte's own series of devotional addresses, published in 1911 with the title James Fraser, Laird of Brea, no study on any considerable scale either of Fraser himself, or of his theology and influence has yet appeared. References to him, of course, abound in the literature of the period, and since the publication of his works at intervals in the course of the first fifty years of the eighteenth century almost all who have written about the Scottish Church or about the development of Scottish Theology from the time of the Revolution Settlement have had something to say about him, but only a very few of these references are really helpful.

  • William Law – a Forgotten Resident of Putney
    William Law – a forgotten resident of Putney James Fraser writes of the close connection between the family of the writer Edward Gibbon and its spiritual advisor. To clarify reference to the three generations of the Gibbon family, Edward Gibbon, the historian (1737-94) is named simply as Gibbon; his grandfather, who employed William Law, is identified as Edward Gibbon I, while Edward Gibbon I’s son, to whom Law was tutor, and who was the historian’s father, is referred to as Edward Gibbon II. Of all the well-known people who have been connected with the parish of Putney, either through proximity of birth or by association with our ancient parish church, probably none has exercised a greater spiritual influence than William Law. Yet paradoxically, none has been more forgotten in local memory, or more ignored in historical records, than this writer. Law was a major figure by any reckoning. Dr Samuel Johnson commended his A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life as ‘the finest piece of hortatory theology in any language’, while John Wesley fully recognised the real quality of Law’s abilities and writing. His gifts have continued to be recognised down to the present day, and the numerous quotations from Law in, for example, Aldous Huxley’s The Perennial Philosophy are a measure of Huxley’s interest in an author whom he in fact rated higher than the great Dr Johnson himself. In 1944 Huxley wrote: I have been reading William Law with the greatest pleasure and profit. What a really wonderful writer, when he is at his best.

    ADULT EDUCATION IN NORTH LANCASHIRE IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Michael Ian Watson M.A. (Lancaster). A thesis presented for the degree of Ph.D in the University of London Institute of Education. 1988 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My interest in adult education and educational self- help was initially kindled by reading a brief account of the life and work of William Billington. I must therefore begin by acknowledging the debt I owe to 'the Blackburn Poet'. I should like to express deep gratitude to Dr. Dennis Dean, my supervisor, for his help, advice and support. Thanks are also offered to Dr. Richard Aldrich who read the manuscript and provided many useful comments. I am most grateful to the staffs of many institutions including the Lancashire Public Record Office, the Bodleian Library, the Nuffield College Library, the Libraries of the University of London, and the municipal libraries of Blackburn, Preston, Darwen, Accrington, Burnley, Nelson, Lancaster, and Haslingden. Especial thanks must be given to Jill, my wife; she has helped me most of all. Michael I. Watson 3 ABSTRACT This study describes and analyses educational self- help in North Lancashire in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. It relates different kinds of adult education to local culture and to the socio-economic structure of local communities. It seeks to explain the popularity of educational self-help in this period and distinguishes between formal and informal kinds of adult education. The area consists of the hundreds of Blackburn, Amounderness and Lonsdale. Furness is excluded from this study because it was a remote rural area.
