ABSTRACT Emphasis on the necessity of the historic episcopate for church unity has decisively shaped Anglican participation in the ecumenical movement. While episcopal authority has not generally been an overt theme, concerns relating to it have consistently shadowed Anglican attempts to take decisive steps towards unity with non-episcopal churches. Anxiety about the bishop’s authority of ordination served as a focus in the three examples considered here, but two other dimensions of episcopal authority, local oversight, and representation to the wider church, were also relevant. In contrast, episcopal authority appears as a significant theme in the four texts on authority produced by the Anglican–Roman Catholic International Commission. The trajectory of these texts, however, is towards questioning the effectiveness of episcopal authority regarding representation to the wider church in Anglicanism, a dimension that is ultimately crucial for Anglican advocacy of the historic episcopate to non-episcopal churches.

ABSTRACT This article explores the social thought of E.L. Mascall, Anglican theologian and philosopher. The bewilderment of the 1930s and 1940s, Mascall believed, was at root a loss of a proper sense of the human person: dependent on the action of God for very existence, simultaneously bodily and spiritual, a worker on earth yet a pilgrim towards glory. Human fulfilment was contingent on a right relation of humankind to God, and the subservience of society, economy and politics to human need. Mascall was rare among his contemporaries in continuing to write into the mid-1980s, and thus being able to reflect on the eclipse in the 1950s and 1960s of much of what he had advocated. I suggest that the waxing and waning of Mascall’s interventions mirrors the rise, eclipse and (finally) partial revival of a catholic understanding of society and the human person, often given the name of ‘Christian sociology’.

ABSTRACT This article is based on a paper that was delivered in September 2022 as part of a symposium organised by the Henry Scott Holland Trust to mark the centenary of the Henry Scott Holland lecture. That lecture had been given by R.H. Tawney. This paper explores his engagement with the First World War as a volunteer soldier and a member of the Church of England.

ABSTRACT This article is an expanded version of the centenary Scott Holland Memorial Lecture delivered to an online symposium organised by the Scott Holland Trust on 4 November 2022. R. H. Tawney, one of the most important socialist thinkers and historians of the twentieth century, gave the first Scott Holland Lectures in 1922. This essay examines two controversial aspects of Tawney’s life, the relationship of his Christian faith to his politics and Tawney’s marriage to Jeanette, the sister of William Beveridge. It explores differences and tensions between public perceptions and private realities in Tawney’s biography. Although his private reflections were strongly influenced by his faith, it is argued that Tawney’s public political declarations were largely secular in nature. In reassessing Tawney’s private failings as a husband and companion, it is cautioned that there should be no present-minded rush to judgement.

ABSTRACT This article was invited by the journal on news of the death of Ann Loades (1938–2022), as part of an issue of IJSCC in her honour. My contribution celebrates Ann’s robust and ‘refreshing style’ through her teaching career as one of Britain’s leading theologians, as well as her commitment to worship and the theology of worship which she lived as well as taught.

ABSTRACT This article explores how a bishop brings a distinctive character to the norms of liturgical worship. The article reflects on the origin of the episcopal role in the Old Testament and its development in the Christian tradition. The article attends to how beauty in the liturgy can draw the worshipping community into a renewed appreciation of God’s revelation through creation. It focuses on an ecclesiological aspect of the Church of England that gives responsibility to the bishop for the oversight of worship, seeing the bishop as a symbolic figure whose presence is one way of signifying that the liturgy transcends time and space. The article considers the contribution of contemporary art to the environment of worship, concluding with reference to episcopal patronage of the arts in the diocese of Chichester and a rationale for church buildings, their character and purpose.
