Extractions: COMMUNICATIONS UNIT Every year, hundreds of thousands of people get married in England. More than half tie the knot during a religious ceremony which, for 200,000, about a third of the total, involves the Church of England. It is the most important day in their lives. Whether you are a regular churchgoer or not, getting married in church allows you to make solemn promises to the one you love, not only in front of your family and friends but also in the sight of God and with God's blessing. Marriage, the Bible tells us, is a gift of God in creation and a means of his grace, a holy mystery in which man and woman become one flesh. It is God's purpose that, as husband and wife give themselves to each other in love throughout their lives, they are united in that love, just as Christ is united in love with his Church. To use the words of the Alternative Service Book: marriage is given that husband and wife may comfort and help each other, living faithfully together in need and in plenty, in sorrow and in joy. It is given that, with delight and tenderness, they may know each other in love and, through the joy of their bodily union, may strengthen the union of their hearts and lives. It is given that they may have children and be blessed in caring for them and bringing them up in accordance with God's will, to his praise and glory. This is, of course, the ideal and no true lovers hope for anything less. The church holds firmly to Christ's teaching that marriage is a lifelong commitment.

Extractions: COMMUNICATIONS UNIT Every large, active group of people needs some sort of committee to discuss important questions and take major decisions on behalf of all its members. Britain has Parliament; towns and cities have their councils; and the Church of England has the General Synod. It was set up in 1970 so that everyone bishops, clergy and laity could share in governing their Church of England. General Synod is elected every five years by a system of proportional representation. It is made up of the three Houses of Bishops, Clergy and Laity. The House of Bishops includes all the diocesan bishops (44) plus nine suffragan bishops elected by the other suffragans. Members of the House of Clergy are elected by the clergy of their dioceses and the House of Laity is elected by the lay people in the deanery synods. There are about 260 members in each of the Houses of Clergy and Laity at any time. Chaplains in the armed forces, prisons and universities, as well as members of religious communities, are also represented. The whole Synod numbers 574. The Houses of Bishops and Clergy are actually a combination of the Convocations of Canterbury and York, the historic councils of the ordained members of the Church. Only when the Queen calls together the Convocations can the House of Laity join them to form the General Synod. It is officially opened by the Queen every five years.

http://cofe.epinet.co.uk/about/history.html

Extractions: There have been Christians in Britain since AD200 and probably earlier. It became the dominant religion through the melding of Celtic Christianity with the direct missionary thrust from Rome by St Augustine in 597. Through war, peace, famine and prosperity, the Church was critical in the development of society, law, buildings and the quiet piety of the people. English civil power and the Church developed in an increasingly uneasy parallel. Two points of contention were the Church's wealth and its ties with Rome. These differences came to a head in the 1530s, when King Henry VIII wished to obtain a divorce from Queen Catherine of Aragon for not producing a male heir. The Pope would not grant it. After a long campaign to reverse this decision, the King ran out of patience and proclaimed himself Supreme Head of the Church of England and the Church began its separate existence from Rome, although, and this is important, its bishops have been consecrated in unbroken succession from St Peter. Innovative from the first, the new Church simplified the liturgy, ensured it was in English rather than Latin and set it out in a new

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > Anglicanism A B C D ... Z A term used to denote the religious belief and position of members of the established Church of England, and of the communicating churches in the British possessions, the United States (see E PISCOPAL C HURCH ), and elsewhere. It includes those who have accepted the work of the English Reformation as embodied in the Church of England or in the offshoot Churches which in other countries have adhered, at least substantially, to its doctrines, its organization, and its liturgy. Apart from minor or missionary settlements, the area in which Anglicanism is to be found corresponds roughly with those portions of the globe which are, or were formally, under the British flag. BELIEFS To form a general idea of Anglicanism as a religious system, it will be convenient to sketch it in rough outline as it exists in the Established Church of England, bearing in mind that there are differences in detail, mainly in liturgy and church-government, to be found in other portions of the Anglican communion. The members of the Church of England are professed Christians , and claim to be baptized members of the Church of Christ.

http://www.episcopalchurch.org/europe/coacce/cofe.html

Extractions: Home Church of England Diocese in Europe The Diocese in Europe is part of the Province of Canterbury of the Church of England. Its origins can be traced to as early as the 17th century, when chaplaincies were established in the major cities and ports of continental Europe where there were diplomatic missions or "British Factories" (local communities of business and trades people). The chaplains and church buildings were provided and paid for either by the British Government or by the local British communities. So there developed a network of "semi-independent" congregations with a loose attachment to the Church of England, from which it recruited most of its clergy, and under the pastoral oversight of the Bishop of London. In the mid-19th century other chaplaincies, usually of a "seasonal nature", were set up in areas of Europe such as Switzerland and the French Riviera to provide for the spiritual needs of British tourists and longer-term residents. This holiday-style chaplaincy work expanded even further in the early part of this century with the development of the "modern" package holiday, particularly in Iberia, Greece and parts of Italy. More recent development has come about in two ways: the growth of international English-speaking communities in many of the bigger cities in Europe as a result of the growth of the European Community; and

The Church Of England In The Eighteenth Century

http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/terrace/adw03/peel/religion/anglican.htm

Extractions: In the Eighteenth Century the Church of England (the Anglican Church) had become very lax, complacent and conservative. It was an integral part of the Establishment. Both Church and parliament were dominated by the same socio-economic class: the landed gentry and aristocracy. The monarch was (and still is) the Head of the Anglican Church. Defence of the status quo was prevalent and the ruling classes did not contemplate reform in any shape or form. Religion was comfortable and respectable. The Anglican Church ministered to the gentry in a form of what might be called 'snob Christianity'. Most people's interest in religion was generally academic and pragmatic. 'Enthusiasm' was considered to be dangerous - a left-over from the English Civil War (1642-9) and the Wars of Religion in Europe in the Seventeenth Century. A general rule of thumb is to see the Church of England as a political institution. Bishops were appointed for their political leanings rather than for their spirituality, and could (and did) make or break legislation. In 1834, a parliamentary motion for exclusion of bishops from the House of Lords was made by C. Rippon: this created a furore. In individual parishes, particularly in rural areas, the incumbent (be he a Vicar or Rector) had a great deal of social power, as evidenced by Joseph Arch However, the

http://syrcom.cua.edu/Hugoye/Vol2No1/HV2N1Rowell.html

Extractions: England This might be regarded as the starting-point for the present paper. The title, 'Making the Church of England poetical', is an allusion to a comment of Newman's that Keble 'did for the Church of England what none but a poet could do, he made it poetical'. Many years ago, John Coulson drew attention to the literary character and context of so much of Oxford Movement writing, and to the way in which Newman in particular continues the 'fiduciary response to language' (contrasted with the analytic, Cartesian response) that had found a particularly important exponent in Coleridge - Coleridge who was himself a poet, and who had decried as one of the miseries of the present age that it knew no medium between the literal and the metaphorical. In religion, as in poetry, Coulson comments, 'we are required to make a complex act of inference and assent, and we begin by taking on trust expressions which are usually in analogical, metaphorical, or symbolic form, and by acting out the claims they make: understanding religious language is a function of understanding poetic language'.

THE church of england IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY. Her new Act of Supremacy madeher Supreme Governor, not Supreme Head, of the church of england.
http://www.nps.gov/fora/church.htm

Extractions: IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY Henry VII, ultimate victor in the Wars of the Roses and first Tudor monarch, held the burgeoning country together with pragmatic governance. He united the houses of Lancaster and York, and later pacified Scotland, by marriage. For a cash settlement he relinquished several ancient claims to French territory. He disbanded private armies and defeated the Yorkist pretenders with minimal violence. He reorganized the courts and extended the rule of law to every part of his kingdom except Wales. In the first orderly succession since 1422, his son Henry VIII took over the makings of a modern nation-state. In 1509, the year he ascended the throne, Henry VIII received papal dispensation to marry his elder brother's widow, Catherine of Aragon. He also engaged the services of Thomas Wolsey, who for a time virtually ruled in his stead. Wolsey built a collection of secular and ecclesiastical titles unusual even in England-lord chancellor, Archbishop of York, cardinal legate, and so on. At the height of his power he merged Church and state in his own person. His high-handedness earned him many enemies. His meddling in Continental affairs created an imbalance of power. Without English involvement, Emperor Charles V (Charles I of Spain) defeated France and brought the Pope to heel. Even so Wolsey might have stayed in favor had Henry not decided at an ebb of English prestige to divorce the Emperor's aunt.

Simon Hughes' Bill To Disestablish The Church Of England.
Simon Hughes' bill to disestablish the church of england. Comment! Simon Hughes'bill to disestablish the church of england. Rt Hon Michael Alison, MP.
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/CCFHUB/DISESTAB.HTM

Extractions: But not only is Simon Hughes' approach essentially negative and escapist, it postulates an attitude of self-preservation and self-regard on the part of the Church of England which is the absolute antithesis of what is appropriate or fitting for a Christian body. The Church of England, in his presentation, is like a delicate and sensitive pupil in a rough classroom and playground who, to develop his proper potential, must be separated and isolated from the hardier and cruder elements in the schools of Whitehall and Westminster. In Simon Hughes' own words in an article in the CEN recently - "the Church of England suffers rather than benefits from its formal identification with our civic society as a whole".
