Rector (ecclesiastical)
A rector is, in an ecclesiastical sense, a cleric who functions as an administrative leader in some Christian denominations. In contrast, a vicar is also a cleric but functions as an assistant and representative of an administrative leader. Ancient usage In ancient times bishops, as rulers of cities and provinces, especially in the Papal States, were called rectors, as were administrators of the patrimony of the Church (e.g. '). The Latin term ' was used by Pope Gregory I in ''Regula Pastoralis'' as equivalent to the Latin term ' (shepherd). Roman Catholic Church In the Roman Catholic Church, a rector is a person who holds the ''office'' of presiding over an ecclesiastical institution. The institution may be a particular building—such as a church (called his rectory church) or shrine—or it may be an organization, such as a parish, a mission or quasi-parish, a seminary or house of studies, a university, a hospital, or a community of clerics or religious.

Church Of England
The Church of England (C of E) is the established Christian church in England and the mother church of the international Anglican Communion. It traces its history to the Christian church recorded as existing in the Roman province of Britain by the 3rd century and to the 6th-century Gregorian mission to Kent led by Augustine of Canterbury. The English church renounced papal authority in 1534 when Henry VIII failed to secure a papal annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. The English Reformation accelerated under Edward VI's regents, before a brief restoration of papal authority under Queen Mary I and King Philip. The Act of Supremacy 1558 renewed the breach, and the Elizabethan Settlement charted a course enabling the English church to describe itself as both Reformed and Catholic. In the earlier phase of the English Reformation there were both Roman Catholic martyrs and radical Protestant martyrs. The later phases saw the Penal Laws punish Ro ...

David Jones (Llangan)
David Jones (10 July 1736 – 12 August 1810) was a Welsh Anglican priest, whose sympathy for Methodism saw him become one of the leading religious figures in Wales. When he settled in the village of Llangan in 1767, the congregation, numbered in its hundreds, would come from many miles around to hear him preach and to take communion. Life Jones, the son of a farmer, was born in 1736 in the parish of Llanllwni, Carmarthenshire, Wales. He was educated in Carmarthen and took his first curacy at Llanafan Fawr, Breconshire after being ordained by William Lucy, Bishop of St. David's. Not long after he took a post at Lleyn in Caernarvonshire before becoming assistant curate at Tevethin and Caldicot in Monmouthshire. At this later post his outspoken style of preaching made him unpopular with his congregation and he left to accept a curacy over the border in Wiltshire, England. While at Wiltshire he became known to the Countess of Huntingdon. The Countess, a prominent leader in t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
William Howels
William Howels (also Howells; 1778–1832) was a Welsh priest of the Church of England, known as an evangelical preacher. Life The eldest of 12 children of Samuel Howells, he was born in September 1778 at Llwynhelyg, a farmhouse near Cowbridge in Glamorgan. After some years' study under the Rev. John Walton of Cowbridge, and Dr. Williams, the master of Cowbridge school, he went in April 1800 to Wadham College, Oxford. He left the university in 1803 without a degree. An elegy by Howels on his tutor Walton in 1797, published in the ''Gloucester Journal'', was noticed by Robert Raikes, who offered him journalistic work. At Oxford he was under Baptist influence; but he was ordained by Richard Watson, bishop of Llandaff, in June 1804, to the curacy of Llangan in Glamorgan. Both he and his vicar drew adverse comment by preaching at Methodist chapels. In 1812 Howels became curate in the united London parishes of St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe and St Anne, Blackfriars, to William Goode, ...

Colwinston
Colwinston (historically sometimes Colwinstone; cy, Tregolwyn) is both a village and a community in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, approximately southeast of the centre of Bridgend and west of the centre of Cardiff. The village is located within of the A48. The population in 2005 was approximately 400 but with recent building development, the population is now estimated at over 600 people. The novelist Agatha Christie was a frequent visitor, and her descendants still live at the former manor house of Pwllywrach. History Archaeological and early historical evidence Bronze Age axe heads discovered on land at Highfield Farm and Iron Age kilns suggest that the area was settled during prehistoric times. The impetus for the development of an agrarian village may have been the local geography: a gentle valley going east to west towards the village, providing a water supply and creating a natural bowl, with a present-day exit leading down Church Lane. Steep slopes in the central par ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vicar
A vicar (; Latin: ''vicarius'') is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting "in the person of" or agent for a superior (compare "vicarious" in the sense of "at second hand"). Linguistically, ''vicar'' is cognate with the English prefix "vice", similarly meaning "deputy". The title appears in a number of Christian ecclesiastical contexts, but also as an administrative title, or title modifier, in the Roman Empire. In addition, in the Holy Roman Empire a local representative of the emperor, perhaps an archduke, might be styled "vicar". Roman Catholic Church The Pope uses the title ''Vicarius Christi'', meaning the ''vicar of Christ''. In Catholic canon law, ''a vicar is the representative of any ecclesiastic'' entity. The Romans had used the term to describe officials subordinate to the praetorian prefects. In the early Christian churches, bishops likewise had their vicars, such as the archdeacons and archpriests, and also the rural priest, the curate who had the ...

Eglwys Brewis is a village in the Vale of Glamorgan in south Wales. It is located just to the north of the village of St Athan, south of Flemingston and northeast of Llantwit Major. Greenlands and St Mary Church lie to the north by road from Eglwys Brewis.
