“The Cardinal Archbishop and Bishops assembled in the first Provincial Council of Westminster, in the year 1852, addressed to you a pastoral letter, the chief topic of which was the education of the poor. After a lapse of nineteen years, we address you once more upon the same subject; and if, on the one hand, with greater anxiety by reason of recent events, on the other with a confidence and joy which at that time we could not venture to express.”
signed by the Archbishop and 12 Bishops
The Bishops of England and Wales used their Christmas messages this year to contrast the darkness of political turmoil with the light of the Incarnation, calling for Christians to show unity and solidarity with the poor. Bishop Hopes quoted.
News item from The Tablet
The Tablet (1846-)Christmas a month away; 6 months together - 1977 an important year - new dispositions and reallocation of responsibilites - more later; plan to manage the big project at St John's Cathedral in Norwich; priests for the future - 16 seminarians - Fr Chris White and Fr Anthony Shrane there to help find vocations; an enclosure mentioned [not present]
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)now established Diocesan Council, Senate of Priests - clarity in what is to be done; first Christmas together makes this Advent special; enabling services of Reconciliation - no arrogance in giving God's forgiveness - not for us to judge adapt to the new rite of confession; many Chistmas presents in the Diocese in the form of cathechists, students for the priesthood, teachers, families; writing form Rome, not far from the Pope - both wanting peace and unity.
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)Day of Installation - an infant church - a "Year of Grace"; his homily said it all; groping for the right "shape" of the new diocese; a charge to "lead, to minister, to exercise compassion"; programme of pastoral visits - Archbishop Warlock's lead; responsibilites to the church i England and everywhere but chiefly to the European scene; despite that he will be available; pastoral oversight to be established [organisational aspects listed]; Canon McBride as Vicar-General, Canon Taylor as Chancellor; invites comments on his "model"; will remain at Poringland - chaplain to be appointed for the Cathedral; drafting a second Ad Clerum - to be crisp and to the point.
