Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume contributes to a reassessment of the phenomenon of episcopal elections from the broadest possible perspective, examining the varied combination of factors, personalities, rules and habits that played a role in the process that eventually resulted in one specific candidate becoming the new bishop, and not another. The importance of episcopal elections hardly needs stating: With the bishop emerging as one of the key figures of late antique society, his election was a defining moment for the local community, and an occasion when local, ecclesiastical, and secular tensions were played out. Building on the state of the art regarding late antique bishops and episcopal election, this volume of collected studies by leading scholars offers fresh perspectives by focussing on specific case-studies and opening up new approaches. Covering much of the Later Roman Empire between 250–600 AD, the contributions will be of interest to scholars interested in Late Antique Christianity across disciplines as diverse as patristics, ancient history, canon law and oriental studies.

The Civil War--Anxieties concerning Church Unity--They are resolved--The Pan-Anglican Synod--The Prayer Book--Subsidence of Party Spirit--A Bishop's Pastoral Analysed--Canons of the Church--Organisation--Conclusion. The great Civil War in the States, which began in 1861 and closed in the spring of 1865, caused grave fears that a permanent separation would result between the Church in the Northern and Southern States. Happily the fears were not realised. Before that terrible episode in American history not a ripple had been produced in the deliberations of the Church by any political agitation. "When, as the result of the war, the dioceses of the South could no longer meet in council with those of the North, the former, not THE CIVIL WAR OF 1861. 113 knowing what the result of the war would be, nor how long it would last, deemed it necessary to organise an independent Council, but did so in the following thoughtful terms: ' We are forced by the Providence of God to separate ourselves from the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States--a Church with whose doctrine, discipline, and worship, we are in entire harmony, and with whose action up to the time of separation we were abundantly satisfied.' During these years of anguish it was a consolation to both portions of the American Church that she had not in the least degree been the cause of the strife. And in consequence, as soon as the war ceased, a correspondence was opened between the Bishops of the North and the South, of the most fraternal character. The names of the Southern Bishops had never been dropped from the roll of the House of Bishops in the United States. Their seats had always been I ready for them when they returned to occupy them. In the autumn of...

Download or read book Episcopal Appointments in England c 1214 1344 written by Katherine Harvey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1214, King John issued a charter granting freedom of election to the English Church; henceforth, cathedral chapters were, theoretically, to be allowed to elect their own bishops, with minimal intervention by the crown. Innocent III confirmed this charter and, in the following year, the right to electoral freedom was restated at the Fourth Lateran Council. In consequence, under Henry III and Edward I the English Church enjoyed something of a golden age of electoral freedom, during which the king might influence elections, but ultimately could not control them. Then, during the reigns of Edward II and Edward III, papal control over appointments was increasingly asserted and from 1344 onwards all English bishops were provided by the pope. This book considers the theory and practice of free canonical election in its heyday under Henry III and Edward I, and the nature of and reasons for the subsequent transition to papal provision. An analysis of the theoretical evidence for this subject (including canon law, royal pronouncements and Lawrence of Somercote’s remarkable 1254 tract on episcopal elections) is combined with a consideration of the means by which bishops were created during the reigns of Henry III and the three Edwards. The changing roles of the various participants in the appointment process (including, but not limited to, the cathedral chapter, the king, the papacy, the archbishop and the candidate) are given particular emphasis. In addition, the English situation is placed within a European context, through a comparison of English episcopal appointments with those made in France, Scotland and Italy. Bishops were central figures in medieval society and the circumstances of their appointments are of great historical importance. As episcopal appointments were also touchstones of secular-ecclesiastical relations, this book therefore has significant implications for our understanding of church-state interactions during the thirteenth and fourteenth centu
