Ecumenical
Ecumenism (), also spelled oecumenism, is the concept and principle that Christians who belong to different Christian denominations should work together to develop closer relationships among their churches and promote Christian unity. The adjective ''ecumenical'' is thus applied to any initiative that encourages greater cooperation and union among Christian denominations and churches. The fact that all Christians belonging to mainstream Christian denominations profess faith in Jesus as Lord and Saviour over a believer's life, believe that the Bible is the infallible, inerrant and inspired word of God (John 1:1), and receive baptism according to the Trinitarian formula is seen as being a basis for ecumenism and its goal of Christian unity. Ecumenists cite John 17:20-23 as the biblical grounds of striving for church unity, in which Jesus prays that Christians "may all be one" in order "that the world may know" and believe the Gospel message. In 1920, the Ecumenical Patriarch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Victoria History Of The Counties Of England
The Victoria History of the Counties of England, commonly known as the Victoria County History or the VCH, is an English history project which began in 1899 with the aim of creating an encyclopaedic history of each of the historic counties of England, and was dedicated to Queen Victoria. In 2012 the project was rededicated to Queen Elizabeth II in celebration of her Diamond Jubilee year. Since 1933 the project has been coordinated by the Institute of Historical Research in the University of London. History The history of the VCH falls into three main phases, defined by different funding regimes: an early phase, 1899–1914, when the project was conceived as a commercial enterprise, and progress was rapid; a second more desultory phase, 1914–1947, when relatively little progress was made; and the third phase beginning in 1947, when, under the auspices of the Institute of Historical Research, a high academic standard was set, and progress has been slow but reasonably steady.

John Crane (comptroller)
John Crane was a soldier and comptroller of works at Berwick-upon-Tweed during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James VI and I. Crane was depute-comptroller at Berwick from around 1570, according his own account. In 1591 he contributed to an estimate of repairs needed at Wark on Tweed Castle. In January 1594 he wrote to Robert Cecil asking for the post of comptroller. He sent an outline of the post's remuneration and argued that a rival, Captain Bowyer, was ineligible for the position as no one should have two offices. Crane was made Clerk of the Check and Musters in February. Despite his petitions, Robert Bowyer was made comptroller, and after him, in 1596 William Selby. With William Ackrigg he surveyed repairs at Wark Castle in April 1594 and noted the ruinous state of Norham Castle and defects in the defences of Berwick. In June he wrote an inventory of the cannon at Berwick and in the border fortresses. In 1603, after the death of Elizabeth I, James VI of Scotland became King o ...
