University College Dublin Press Anglican Women in Dublin: Philanthropy, Politics
Book SynopsisA fascinating account of the public activities of women members of the Church of Ireland living in Dublin during a time of upheaval and rapid change in Ireland. Oonagh Walsh discusses key aspects of their lives, including charitable work, education and politics. She shows that the reaction of the women to the creation of the Irish Free State was for the most part pragmatic, tempered by a determination to maintain a strong Protestant identity in the new state. Their roles came to be increasingly public ones, though for the most part within the limits of their Anglican world and, in common with Catholic women, found that their full participation in public life was not encouraged.Trade Review"The importance of women in the Church of Ireland in the 20th century is not in doubt, at least from the comforting perspective of hindsight, but the church has been slow to articulate this. An important new book by Aberdeen-based historian Oonagh Walsh, has splendidly remedied this, at least for women in Dublin." Irish Times Nov 2005 "A charming painting by William Orpen on the jacket introduces the reader to an interesting and often neglected subject ... Here is a scholarly charting of their work - not only in Ireland, for there is a chapter on the overseas missions. With an imposing bibliography, statistical among other analysis, scrupulous source notes and an interesting list of charitable bodies, their dates and aims, this is an academic tour de force." Books Ireland Dec 2005 "Oonagh Walsh's careful scholarship has revealed a hitherto half-known world of Protestant women in early twentieth-century Dublin. The book's stunning cover, which features a painting by William Orpen, will attract the uninitiated, but the text provides considerable sustenance for those interested in the expanding field of women's history in Ireland." Irish Economic and Social History 2006 "an interesting book that adds considerably to our knowledge of women's activism in early twentieth-century Ireland." Irish Studies Review 15 (3) 2007 "a delightful book, scholarly and well written, and its very attractive design, with a painting by William Orpen on the jacket, adds to the pleasure of reading it."

Collective Ink Gays and the Future of Anglicanism
Book SynopsisThe Anglican Communion stands at a crossroads. Some want Anglicanism to be exclusive of gays, especially gay priests and bishops. The Windsor Report is seen as the means of achieving this by centralising the Anglican Communion, and bringing wayward provinces, like ECUSA, to heel. In this collection of essays, distinguished academics from the UK and the US offer lively, thoughtful and scholarly critiques of the Windsor Report. What unites this collection is the view that Windsor does not provide a way forward for Anglicanism. Contributors write from a variety of standpoints, including justice for gays, opposition to centralisation, and/or the need for legitimate moral diversity within Anglicanism. This timely collection offers a means of grappling with what has become one of the most controversial issues within Anglicanism, and also a way of reflecting on the future shape of the Church, and how inclusive that Church is going to be.

University of Exeter Press Ancient and High Crosses of Cornwall: Cornwall's
Book SynopsisWinner of the Holyer an Gof Award 2022 (Leisure and Lifestyle) An illustrated guide to one hundred of the finest early Cornish stone crosses, dating from around AD 900 to 1300. These characteristic features of the Cornish landscape are splendid examples of their type, exhibiting a wide geographical spread and a certain weather-beaten beauty. The medieval stone crosses of Cornwall have long been objects of curiosity both for residents and visitors. This is the first ever accessible volume on the subject, combining detailed description and discussion of the crosses with information on access, colour images and suggestions for further reading. An approachable but academically rigorous work, it includes analysis of the decorative designs and sculptural techniques, accompanied by high-quality photographs which illustrate the subtleties of each cross, often hard to discern in situ. Ancient and High Crosses of Cornwall offers an ideal introduction for the general reader but will also prove essential to local historians, landscape historians, archaeologists and anyone working in the area of Cornish studies or connected with the Cornish diaspora. DOI: https://doi.org/10.47788/NKIP4746Trade ReviewWith its well-illustrated, information-packed catalogue and good bibliography for further reading, this volume is an excellent invitation to both specialist and the uninitiated to explore the earliest, tallest and finest medieval crosses of Cornwall, and I certainly intend to try it out. -- Michael King * Down County Museum *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction Historical overview Inscriptions on the crosses Cornish groups or schools of stone sculpture Dating the monuments Function of the crosses Antiquarian study and restoration Glossary Using this book to visit crosses A note on photography Catalogue of Crosses Advent, Tresinney St Allen St Blazey, Biscovey Blisland, St Pratt’s Cross Bodmin, Carminow Breage St Breock, Whitecross St Breward 1 St Breward 2 St Breward 3, Middle Moor Cross St Buryan 1 St Buryan 2, Crows an Wra Camborne 1, Fenton-Ia Camborne 2, Gwealavellan Cardinham 1 Cardinham 2 Cardinham 3, Treslea St Cleer 1, Doniert Stone St Cleer 2, Other Half Stone St Cleer 3, Long Tom St Cleer 4, Holy Well St Clement St Clether, Cross Gates St Columb Major Constantine 1, Trewardreva Constantine 2, Trevease Cury St Dennis Egloshayle 1, Pencarrow Egloshayle 2, Three Hole Cross Egloshayle 3, The Prior’s Cross St Endellion, Long Cross St Erth 1 St Erth 2 St Ewe, Lanhadron Feock Fowey, Tristan Stone St Germans, Carracawn Cross Gerrans Gulval 1 Gulval 2 Gwinear 1, Connor Downs Gwinear 2, Lanherne Cross St Juliot St Just-in-Penwith St Kew 1, Job’s Cross St Kew 2, Polrode Cross Laneast 1 Laneast 2, Laneast Downs Lanhydrock 1 Lanhydrock 2, Treffry Lanivet 1 Lanivet 2 Lanivet 3, Lesquite Lanlivery, Milltown Lanteglos by Camelford 1 Lanteglos by Camelford 2 Lelant Lesnewth St Levan Lostwithiel, Crewel Cross Ludgvan Mabe, Helland Madron 1, Boscathnoe Madron 2, Boswarthen Menheniot, Tencreek Michaelstow St Michael’s Mount Minster, Waterpit Down St Minver, St Michael Porthilly Mullion, Predannack Mylor St Neot 1, 2 St Neot 3, Four Hole Cross Padstow 1 Padstow 2 Padstow 3, Prideaux Place Paul 1 Paul 2 Paul 3, Kerris, Carlankan Pelynt, Trelay Penzance, Market Cross Perranzabuloe, St Piran’s Cross 203 Phillack 206 Quethiock 208 Roche 210 Sancreed 1 212 Sancreed 2 214 Sancreed 3, Brane 218 Sennen, Trevear 220 South Petherwin, Holyway Cross 222 Stithians, Tretheague 224 St Teath 226 Tintagel 1 229 Tintagel 2, Bossiney 232 Truro 234 Wendron 1 236 Wendron 2, Meruny 237 Wendron 3, Merther Uny 238 St Wenn, Crossy Ann Parish Pages St Allen St Buryan St Clether Lanivet Lanteglos by Camelford Lelant Ludgvan St Neot Notes Bibliography Index

Carnegie Publishing Ltd Dean Dwelly of Liverpool: Liturgical Genius
Book SynopsisThis unique new book records and celebrates the extraordinary wisdom and genius of Frederick William Dwelly, the first Dean of Liverpool. His creativity in the use of poetry, of music, of the commissioning of art, and in the use of the Great Space of Liverpool Cathedral set him apart from his peers and won huge admiration from all quarters. Above all, his liturgy was always centred around the value of the human being and he fostered worship that was dignified, imaginative and relevant for the thousands of people who attended services. Peter Kennerley's lively account of the work of a true master of liturgy is set in the context of the story of the cathedral itself, to create this highly readable, beautifully illustrated and fascinating volume.Trade Review"I strongly commend the book as material for reflection" Justin Welby, Archbishop of CanterburyTable of ContentsForeword by Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury vii Apologia ix 1 The establishment of a new cathedral in Liverpool 1 2 The development of a priest 35 3 Consecration 61 4 Canon Dwelly 89 5 The establishment of the deanery 121 6 Controversy 151 7 The liturgical artist 167 8 "The first human milestone" 203 9 Dwelly tradition: death mask or spirit 231 10 Cathedrals are the success story of the Church of England 257 Postscript by Simon Macaulay 283 Notes 289 Bibliography 301

Darton, Longman & Todd Ltd Edgewise?: Experiences of some Anglican lay women
Book SynopsisThree decades after the decision to allow the ordination of women to the priesthood, nine lay women in the Church of England have written their thoughts on what it means to be committed to being 'lay' in the contemporary church and world. For more than twenty years the writers have been part of an Anglican lay women's group, meeting, sharing and reflecting together. Edgewise? collects their individual perspectives on being a lay woman in the church since the opportunity for ordination became a reality, with some threads and themes in common and others unique. The result is a fascinating, thoughtful snapshot of several lives and diverse experiences which presents rich material for reflection by all in the twenty-first-century Church of England and beyond.

The Book Guild Ltd After the Order of Melchizedek: Memoirs of an
Book SynopsisCast in the form of an autobiography covering period between 1940 and 2015, After the Order of Melchizedek is, in effect, an account of the Church of England as she was during the second half of the 20th century. Anecdotal, humorous and allusive, much of the material is drawn from Adrian Leak’s life as an Anglican priest including chapters on life at Oxford University, at York Minster and three country parishes. “Melchizedek gives us a glimpse of the Church of England in the second half of the 20th century, seen through the eyes of a priest whose contrasting ministries in council estate, rural parishes, and cathedrals ancient and modern, describe a mostly vanished church and different world. It is a timely warning to the Church of England not to discard completely its care for everyone, whether they go to church or not.” – Nigel McCulloch, former Bishop of Manchester

Holy Trinity Publications William Palmer: The Oxford Movement and a Quest
Book SynopsisThe Oxford Movement within the Anglican communion sought changes to the Church of England in its articulation of theology and performance of liturgy that would more clearly demonstrate what the movement's members believed was the place of their Church within the wider universal and ancient Church. In this regard they mostly looked to the Roman Catholic Church, but one of their most prominent members thought their goals would be better served by seeking recognition from the Orthodox Church.This book charts the eccentric career of that member, William Palmer, a fellow of Magdalen College and deacon of the Anglican Church. Seemingly destined for a conventional life as a classics don at Oxford, in 1840 and 1842 he travelled to Russia to seek communion from the Russian Orthodox Church. He sought their affirmation that the Anglican Church was part of the ancient Catholic and Apostolic Church world-wide. Despite their personal regard for him, the Russians remained unconvinced by his arguments, not least because of the actions of the Anglican hierarchy in forming alliances with other Protestant bodies. Palmer in turn wrestled with what he saw as the logical inconsistencies in the claim of the Orthodox to be the one true church, such as the differing views he encountered on the manner of reception of converts into the Church by either baptism and chrismation or the latter alone.Increasingly disillusioned with the Church of England, and finding himself without support from the Scottish Episcopal Church, Palmer closest Russian friends such as Mouravieff and Khomiakoff urged him to cast aside his reservations and to convert Orthodoxy. Ultimately he baulked at making what he saw as the cultural leap from West to East, and after some years in ecclesiastical limbo, he followed the example of his Oxford friends such as John Henry Newman, and was received into the Roman Catholic Church in Rome in 1855. He lived in Rome as a Catholic layman until his death in 1879.This is a fascinating account of a failed "journey to Orthodoxy" that should provide food for thought to all who may follow this path in the future and offer grounds for reflection to Orthodox believers on how to remove unnecessary stumbling blocks that can arise on the path to their Church.Table of ContentsForeword Introduction Chapter One: Childhood, Rugby and Oxford Chapter Two: France and Durham Chapter Three: Return to Oxford Chapter Four: Russia, 1840-1841 Chapter Five: The Cursing Deacon Chapter Six: The Galitsin Affair Chapter Seven: Return to Russia Chapter Eight: Struggle for a Soul Chapter Nine: Pearls before Swine Chapter Ten: The Struggle Continues Chapter Eleven: Passing into Oblivion Chapter Twelve: The Correspondence with Khomiakoff Chapter Thirteen: In the Levant Chapter Fourteen: Leaving the East Chapter Fifteen: In Limbo Chapter Sixteen: Rome at Last Chapter Seventeen: Life in Rome Chapter Eighteen: Death in Rome Epilogue Acknowledgements Abbreviations Endnotes Bibliography Index

Rowman & Littlefield Priest of the Church or Priest of a Church?: The
Book SynopsisThe development of new forms of ministry, lay and ordained, has included worker-priests, now found in the Anglican Communion in a related form variously called Self-Supporting Ministry (SSM) or Non-Stipendiary Ministry (NSM). This book focuses on one of the most recent developments, the creation of Ordained Local Ministry. After chapters that consider preliminary questions of the nature of ministry, such as authority in the church and Holy Orders, Noel Cox argues that the crucial distinction between these and other forms of ministry is that the Ordained Local Minister (OLM) is overtly ordained specifically for a given locality (variously defined); they are a deacon or priest for a specific church, parish, benefice, or deanery, rather than of the universal church. Their introduction inevitably raises difficult ecclesiological questions, which Cox examines.Trade ReviewChurches within the Anglican Communion view themselves as being part of the “one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church”, and Anglicanism’s via media has enabled it to be viewed as a focus for ecumenism. Recent innovations with regard to ordained ministry may, however, have compromised both the claim to catholicity and its ecumenical usefulness. In this book, Noël Cox – a scholar priest withexperience of ministry in several Anglican provinces world-wide – examines the historical, theological and legal aspects of these developments and their consequences, with particular attention to Ordained Local Ministry. His analysis and conclusions deserve careful and prayerful consideration. -- The Reverend Professor Thomas Glyn Watkin QCTable of ContentsChapter 1 The church and Holy OrdersChapter 2 Sources and Limits on AuthorityChapter 3 The Priesthood of All BelieversChapter 4 Local Ordained MinistryChapter 5 Local or Universal MinistryChapter 6 Challenges to New Forms of MinistryChapter 7 Ecumenism and Holy OrdersChapter 8 Implications

Rowman & Littlefield Ministry in the Anglican Tradition from Henry
Book SynopsisOnce Henry VIII declared the Church of England free of papal control in the sixteenth century and the process of Reformation began, the Church of England rapidly developed a distinctive style of ministry that reflected the values and practices of the English people. In Ministry in the Anglican Tradition from Henry VIII to 1900, John L. Kater traces the complex process by which Anglican ministry evolved in dialogue with social and political changes in England and around the world. By the end of the Victorian period, ministry in the Anglican tradition had begun to take on the broad diversity we know today. This book explores the many ways in which laypeople, clergy, and missionaries in multiple settings and under various conditions have contributed to the emergence of a uniquely Anglican way of responding to the call to serve Christ and the world. That ministry preserved many of the insights of its Reformation ancestors and their heritage, even as it continued to respond to the new and often unfamiliar contexts it now calls home.Trade ReviewThis study is a magisterial achievement, with Kater drawing together theological subtlety, a lifetime of teaching experience, and deep understanding of text and context. Just as importantly, however, there is also a historical wisdom here that recognizes what generations of Anglican priests and writers were trying to express, and which shows how they built churches around the world through that same vision. It’s a wisdom in which Kater finally offers us a compassionate vision of the Church as the responsibility, as well as the reward, for our lives together - a sacrament of genuine sharing, in God and in one another. A truly lovely book. -- Gareth Jones, Principal, Ming Hua Theological CollegeJohn Kater, as priest and scholar with extensive worldwide knowledge and experience of ministry in the Anglican Communion, is eminently prepared to write this volume on the history of ministry in the Anglican Communion. Historical narrative brings this volume to life around the inspiration and perils of the Church of England’s founding vision: the imperial state’s binding of civic and spiritual wellbeing of its people in a single vocation. As this model, and the ethos supporting it, leave the shores of England, Kater judiciously and candidly exposes the challenges for ministry under these conditions. The reader feels Kater’s passion for his subject and his pursuit of truth as this history of the Anglican Communion unfolds. -- W. Mark Richardson, president and dean, Church Divinity School of the Pacific, Berkeley, CADr. John Kater engages his readers with a thoughtful, colorful, and accessible history of the formation and development of the Anglican Communion. His unfolding narrative gives a balanced description starting with the fledgling inception of the Church of England and moving through the complexities and contexts of religious and secular life in the often controversial and violent missionary movement. In describing the challenges of today’s Anglican Communion, Dr. Kater poetically notes, it is “diverse beyond the most extravagant dreams of our ancestors.” This inspiring, scholarly work should be on the required list for seminarians, and on the list for continued reading as a refresher for all Episcopal and Anglican clergy. -- Lucinda Ashby, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of El Camino Real, CaliforniaTable of ContentsChapter One: Reformations: The Beginnings of Ministry in the Anglican TraditionChapter Two: Settlement: Ministry in the Reign of ElizabethChapter Three: Unsettlement: Ministry after ElizabethChapter Four: Divergence: Ministry after the RestorationChapter Five: Stirrings: The Beginnings of Overseas AnglicanismChapter Six: Reconsiderations: Anglican Ministry in England and Ireland, 1800-1860Chapter Seven: Pioneers: Mission and Ministry in North America, 1800-1860Chapter Eight: Missions: Global Anglican Ministry in the Early Nineteenth CenturyChapter Nine: Tremblings: Ministry in the Church of England, 1860-1900Chapter Ten: Brittania: Ministry in the British Empire, 1860-1900Chapter Eleven: Evangelism: Global Anglican Ministry, 1850-1900Chapter Twelve: Tensions: Anglican Ministry in the United States of America, 1860-1900Chapter Thirteen: Visions: The Future(s) of Mission and Ministry in the Anglican Tradition
