Grade I Listed Modern Buildings In England
In England buildings of particular architectural merit and/or historic significance are given statutory protection under the listed buildings scheme. The scheme categorises buildings in three grades; Grade I, the highest grade, Grade II*, and Grade II, the lowest grade. Approximately 500,000 buildings in England have listed building status, the vast majority at Grade II. Decisions on listing are made by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, on advice from Historic England, the agency with responsibility for the historic environment. Decisions on listing are closely related to the age of the building. Buildings constructed before 1700 will almost certainly be listed and many constructed between 1700 and 1850 will be. Construction dates between 1850 and 1945 will reduce the likelihood of listing, and even greater selectivity is exercised for Post-war Britain (1945–1979), post-war buildings. There is a presumption against listing buildings that are less than 30 years ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anglo-Catholic Church Buildings In Northamptonshire
Anglo-Catholicism comprises beliefs and practices that emphasise the Catholic heritage (especially pre-Reformation roots) and identity of the Church of England and various churches within Anglicanism. Anglo-Catholicism claims to restore liturgical and devotional expressions of church life that reflect the ancient practices of the early and medieval church. The term was coined in the early 19th century, although movements emphasising the Catholic nature of Anglicanism already existed. Particularly influential in the history of Anglo-Catholicism were the Caroline Divines of the 17th century, the Jacobite Nonjuring schism of the 17th and 18th centuries, and the Oxford Movement, which began at the University of Oxford in 1833 and ushered in a period of Anglican history known as the "Catholic Revival". History The historic Anglican formularies, developed under the influence of Thomas Cranmer, include the '' Thirty-nine Articles of Religion'' and ''The Books of Homilies'', both ...

Priest In Charge
A priest in charge or priest-in-charge (previously also curate-in-charge) in the Church of England is a priest in charge of a parish who is not its incumbent; they will normally work on a short-term contract and have less freedom to act within the parish. Such priests are not legally responsible for the churches and glebe, but simply hold a licence rather than the freehold and are not appointed by advowson. Under the legislation of the Church of England, the process for a bishop to remove a priest-in-charge is relatively straightforward. As a result, the appointment of priests in charge rather than incumbents (one who does receive the temporalities of an incumbent) is sometimes done when parish reorganisation is taking place or to give the bishop greater control over the deployment of clergy. Legally, priests in charge are '' temporary curates'', as they have only spiritual responsibilities. Even though they lead the ministry in their parishes, their legal status is little dif ...

Alternative Episcopal Oversight
A provincial episcopal visitor (PEV), popularly known as a flying bishop, is a Church of England bishop assigned to minister to many of the clergy, laity and parishes who on grounds of theological conviction "are unable to receive the ministry of women bishops or priests". The system by which such bishops oversee certain churches is referred to as alternative episcopal oversight (AEO). History The Church of England ordination, ordained its first women priests in 1994. According to acts of the General Synod of the Church of England, General Synod passed the previous year (Priests (Ordination of Women) Measure 1993), if a parish does not accept the ministry of women priests it can formally request that none be appointed to minister to it.

Ordination Of Women In The Anglican Communion
The ordination of women in the Anglican Communion has been increasingly common in certain provinces since the 1970s. Several provinces, however, and certain dioceses within otherwise ordaining provinces, continue to ordain only men. Disputes over the ordination of women have contributed to the establishment and growth of progressive tendencies, such as the Anglican realignment and Continuing Anglican movements. Some provinces within the Anglican Communion ordain women to the three traditional holy orders of deacon, priest and bishop. Other provinces ordain women as deacons and priests but not as bishops; others are still as deacons only. The Anglican Church of Australia General Synod legislated that women could be ordained as deacons (1985) and priests (1992) and the Appellate Tribunal agreed to bishops (2007) but left the decision to ordain women to those orders to individual dioceses. Within provinces that permit the ordination of women, approval of enabling legislation is l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
