Arthur Edwin Ross (18 December 186924 May 1923) was a cleric in the Church of Ireland. Ross was born in 1869 in Montenotte, Cork, the son of David Ross of Glenageary and Anne Maria (''née'' Neligan). He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and was ordained in 1895. He was Rector of Ballymena and a World War I Chaplain. Soon after he was appointed in the spring of 1916, an assistant chaplain-general wrote of him, ‘obviously good and keen on his work. A trifle old for the work. A real good man in every way. Quiet but does excellent work and will win through sheer goodness’. His age did not hamper Ross’s ability to rescue ‘wounded men under heavy shell fire’for which he was awarded his first Military Cross. A bar was added early in 1918 soon after he had been promoted to senior chaplain. The citation referred to "Conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He carried in wounded under circumstances of great danger and difficulty. He ended by helping to carry ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

World War I Chaplains
In its most general sense, the term "world" refers to the totality of entities, to the whole of reality or to everything that is. The nature of the world has been conceptualized differently in different fields. Some conceptions see the world as unique while others talk of a "plurality of worlds". Some treat the world as one simple object while others analyze the world as a complex made up of many parts. In ''scientific cosmology'' the world or universe is commonly defined as " e totality of all space and time; all that is, has been, and will be". '' Theories of modality'', on the other hand, talk of possible worlds as complete and consistent ways how things could have been. ''Phenomenology'', starting from the horizon of co-given objects present in the periphery of every experience, defines the world as the biggest horizon or the "horizon of all horizons". In ''philosophy of mind'', the world is commonly contrasted with the mind as that which is represented by the mind. ''Th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bishops Of Tuam, Killala, And Achonry
A bishop is an ordained clergy member who is entrusted with a position of authority and oversight in a religious institution. In Christianity, bishops are normally responsible for the governance of dioceses. The role or office of bishop is called episcopacy. Organizationally, several Christian denominations utilize ecclesiastical structures that call for the position of bishops, while other denominations have dispensed with this office, seeing it as a symbol of power. Bishops have also exercised political authority. Traditionally, bishops claim apostolic succession, a direct historical lineage dating back to the original Twelve Apostles or Saint Paul. The bishops are by doctrine understood as those who possess the full priesthood given by Jesus Christ, and therefore may ordain other clergy, including other bishops. A person ordained as a deacon, priest (i.e. presbyter), and then bishop is understood to hold the fullness of the ministerial priesthood, given responsibility b ...

Alumni Of Trinity College Dublin
Alumni (singular: alumnus (masculine) or alumna (feminine)) are former students of a school, college, or university who have either attended or graduated in some fashion from the institution. The feminine plural alumnae is sometimes used for groups of women. The word is Latin and means "one who is being (or has been) nourished". The term is not synonymous with "graduate"; one can be an alumnus without graduating ( Burt Reynolds, alumnus but not graduate of Florida State, is an example). The term is sometimes used to refer to a former employee or member of an organization, contributor, or inmate. Etymology The Latin noun ''alumnus'' means "foster son" or "pupil". It is derived from PIE ''*h₂el-'' (grow, nourish), and it is a variant of the Latin verb ''alere'' "to nourish".Merriam-Webster: alumnus .. Separate, but from the ...
