VII WORSHIP AND SERVICES i New churches, new services. Three years we have spent in sheds and barns and fields and orchards and schoolrooms and dug-outs and mine-craters, hastily adorned, or merely tidied, or in puris naturalibus;--a new church every Sunday, and most weekdays; new services in them; and new ideas and ideals as to the scope and wealth of public devotion. Now these things have actually taken place, and are history. They have happened naturally without ecclesiastical feeling, or ecclesiastical notice; without a thought of disorderliness or yet any sense of order: liturgy vanished with peace, and rubrics paled in a redder world. An immense spontaneous, amicable anarchy has sprung into being, --and this has been the Church in France. The home Church, bishops, liturgiologists, clergy and people, must recognise and allow for this, for it spells change when those who for three years have almost forgotten the ordered progress of the Prayer-book return to their altars. The thing was inevitable and 1 I owe much in this paper to the contributions and criticisms of my brother-chaplains in the Division: and special light and leading to the Rev. B. T. D. Smith, of St. John's College, Cambridge. it happened. There may be much to regret, there may be danger in it; wisdom does not of necessity cry aloud on battlefields. But there is also good in it, simply because it was found necessary during the most intense years of living that English manhood has known. From so long and valiant and agonised an attempt to adapt public devotions to actual need may well come fruit for congregations who have the same needs and desires, but who cannot make them visible or audible in the same way as can a dying army. As for the chaplains, they have forgotten...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an international comparative study of the British, German and French military chaplains during the First World War. It describes their role, position and daily work within the army and how the often conflicting expectations of the church, the state, the military and the soldiers effected these.

Download or read book The Churches and the Working Classes written by Patricia Midgley and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-21 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to our perception of the centrality of the churches in English life in the nineteenth century, the disappointing results of the 1851 Religious Census led religious leaders to seek a variety of ways to increase religious allegiance as the century progressed. The apparent apathy and lack of interest in formal religion on the part of the working classes was particularly galling, and the various denominations tried hard to attract them through evangelical missions as well as social and charitable ventures which sometimes competed with religious concerns, to the latter’s detriment. This book traces the motivations, concerns and efforts of the churches, particularly in the period between 1870 and 1920, and the ambivalent responses of ordinary people. The Education Act of 1870 led to the churches losing their hold on the education of the young, a consequence foreseen by many church leaders, but unable to be prevented. By 1920 it was apparent that the churches’ optimism regarding an increased role with a war-weary population would not be fulfilled. The focus is on the city of Leeds, representative of the industrialised urban areas with burgeoning populations which proved to be such a challenge to the churches, at the same time stimulating them to ever-greater efforts.
Download or read book God and War written by Tom Lawson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite narratives of secularization, it appears that the British public persistently pay attention to clerical opinion and continually resort to popular expressions of religious faith, not least in time of war. From the throngs of men who gathered to hear the Bishop of London preach recruiting sermons during the First World War, to the attention paid to Archbishop Williams' words of conscience on Iraq, clerical rhetoric remains resonant. For the countless numbers who attended National Days of Prayer during the Second World War, and for the many who continue to find the Remembrance Day service a meaningful ritual, civil religious events provide a source of meaningful ceremony and a focus of national unity. War and religion have been linked throughout the twentieth century and this book explores these links: taking the perspective of the 'home front' rather than the battlefield. Exploring the views and accounts of Anglican clerics on the issue of warfare and international conflict across the century, the authors explore the church's stance on the causes, morality and conduct of warfare; issues of pacifism, obliteration bombing, nuclear possession and deterrence, retribution, forgiveness and reconciliation, and the spiritual opportunities presented by conflict. This book offers invaluable insights into how far the Church influenced public appraisal of war whilst illuminating the changing role of the Church across the twentieth century.
Download or read book The Sunday School Movement in Britain 1900 1939 written by Caitriona McCartney and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonstrates the vital role Sunday schools played in forming and sustaining faith before, during, and after the Frist World War for British populations both at home and abroad. Sunday schools were an important part of the religious landscape of twentieth-century Britain and they were widely attended by much of the British population. The Sunday School Movement in Britain argues that the schools played a vital role in forming and sustaining the faith of those who lived and served during the First World War. Moreover, the volume contends that the conflict did not cause the schools to decline and proposes that decline instead set in much earlier in the twentieth century. The book also questions the perception that the schools were ineffective tools of religious socialisation and examines the continued attempts of the Sunday school movement to professionalise and improve their efforts. Thus, the involvement of the movement with the World's Sunday School Association is revealed to be part of the wider developing international ecumenical community during the twentieth century. Drawing together under-utilised material from archives and newspapers in national and local collections, The Sunday School Movement in Britain presents a history of the schools demonstrating their lasting significance in the religious life of the nation and, by extension, the enduring importance of Christianity in Britain during the first half of the twentieth century.
