James England Cotter (23 August 1942 - 16 April 2014) was an English Anglican priest known for his religious poetry and his advocacy for gay and lesbian Christians. Life and ministry Cotter was born in Stockport in 1942 and was educated at Stockport Grammar School before studying at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, later being ordained priest in the Diocese of Manchester.

In this capacity, he appeared on the TV programme ''The Lord's My Shepherd and He Knows I'm Gay'', speaking openly about his own sexuality and how it related to his spirituality and mental health. Reflecting later, he said: "I think human beings, including myself, hurt and were hurt more than they would like to admit, but at the same time stumbling towards something, we weren’t quite sure what we were stumbling towards. I don’t think anybody would have ev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anglican
Anglicanism is a Western Christian tradition that has developed from the practices, liturgy, and identity of the Church of England following the English Reformation, in the context of the Protestant Reformation in Europe. It is one of the largest branches of Christianity, with around 110 million adherents worldwide . Adherents of Anglicanism are called ''Anglicans''; they are also called ''Episcopalians'' in some countries. The majority of Anglicans are members of national or regional ecclesiastical provinces of the international Anglican Communion, which forms the third-largest Christian communion in the world, after the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. These provinces are in full communion with the See of Canterbury and thus with the Archbishop of Canterbury, whom the communion refers to as its '' primus inter pares'' (Latin, 'first among equals'). The Archbishop calls the decennial Lambeth Conference, chairs the meeting of primates, and is the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Llandudno (, ) is a seaside resort, town and community in Conwy County Borough, Wales, located on the Creuddyn peninsula, which protrudes into the Irish Sea. In the 2011 UK census, the community – which includes Gogarth, Penrhyn Bay, Craigside, Glanwydden, Penrhynside, and Bryn Pydew – had a population of 20,701.

Poet Priests
A poet is a person who studies and creates poetry. Poets may describe themselves as such or be described as such by others. A poet may simply be the creator (thought, thinker, songwriter, writer, or author) who creates (composes) poems (oral tradition, oral or literature, written), or they may also performance, perform their art to an audience. The work of a poet is essentially one of communication, expressing ideas either in a literal sense (such as communicating about a specific event or place) or metaphorically. Poets have existed since prehistory, in nearly all languages, and have produced works that vary greatly in different cultures and periods. Throughout each civilization and language, poets have used various styles that have changed over time, resulting in countless poets as diverse as the literature that (since the advent of writing systems) they have produced. History In Ancient Rome, professional poets were generally sponsored by patronage, patrons, wealthy sup ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Janet Morley
Janet Morley is a British author, poet, and Christian feminist. Her books ''Celebrating Women'' (1986, co-edited with Hannah Ward) and ''All Desires Known'' (1988) established Morley as a campaigner for inclusive 'non-sexist' language in Christian liturgy. Her prayer ''For the darkness of waiting'', written in 1985, "grew out of long years of campaigning for women's vocations to be recognised" by the Church of England: it has been used at national events celebrating women's ministry including the ''Liturgy of Hope'' at Canterbury Cathedral on 18 April 1986, and the service ''Celebrating 25 Years of Women Priests'' at Lambeth Palace on 1 March 2019 (read by Sally Hitchiner). Her prayer ''O God who brought us to birth, and in whose arms we die'', first published in 1985, appears in Common Worship, part of the official liturgical resource of the Church of England. Critics acclaim her anthologies of poetry: ''The Heart's Time'' (2011), ''Haphazard by Starlight'' (2013), ''Our Las ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Book Of Common Prayer
The ''Book of Common Prayer'' (BCP) is the name given to a number of related prayer books used in the Anglican Communion and by other Christian churches historically related to Anglicanism. The original book, published in 1549 in the reign of King Edward VI of England, was a product of the English Reformation following the break with Rome. The work of 1549 was the first prayer book to include the complete forms of service for daily and Sunday worship in English. It contained Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, the Litany, and Holy Communion and also the occasional services in full: the orders for Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, " prayers to be said with the sick", and a funeral service. It also set out in full the "propers" (that is the parts of the service which varied week by week or, at times, daily throughout the Church's Year): the introits, collects, and epistle and gospel readings for the Sunday service of Holy Communion. Old Testament and New Testament readings ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Society Of St Francis
The Society of Saint Francis (SSF) is an international Franciscan religious order within the Anglican Communion. It is the main recognised Anglican Franciscan order, but there are also other Franciscan orders in the Anglican Communion. Background Francis of Assisi and Clare of Assisi, the founders of the Franciscan movement, produced separate rules for three parallel orders, which still co-exist as parts of the Franciscan family today: * The First Order were to be mendicant friars, embracing poverty as a gift from God and living the community life in the world and serving the poor. * The Second Order were to be a parallel community of sisters living a more enclosed life of prayer and contemplation. * The Third Order was to consist of brothers and sisters not living in community, nor under full monastic vows, but nevertheless taking simple promises and following a rule of life in the world. Within Anglicanism, the Brothers of the First Order are called the Society of Saint Fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
