An engaging, richly illustrated account of parish churches and
churchgoers in England, from the Anglo-Saxons to the mid-sixteenth
century Parish churches were at the heart of English religious and
social life in the Middle Ages and the sixteenth century. In this
comprehensive study, Nicholas Orme shows how they came into
existence, who staffed them, and how their buildings were used. He
explains who went to church, who did not attend, how people behaved
there, and how they-not merely the clergy-affected how worship was
staged. The book provides an accessible account of what happened in
the daily and weekly services, and how churches marked the seasons
of Christmas, Lent, Easter, and summer. It describes how they
celebrated the great events of life: birth, coming of age, and
marriage, and gave comfort in sickness and death. A final chapter
covers the English Reformation in the sixteenth century and shows
how, alongside its changes, much that went on in parish churches
remained as before.
Resourcing Rural Ministry offers an in-depth exploration of the key
aspects, challenges and opportunities of mission in a rural church.
Relevant for ordained and lay leaders alike, the book covers
subjects ranging from encouraging evangelism in a multi-church
group to making best use of church buildings. Containing a wealth
of real-life case studies and suggestions for follow-up, this
ecumenical publication draws on the expertise and resources of the
Arthur Rank Centre (ARC), which has served the spiritual and
practical needs of the rural Christian community for over 40 years.
This book contributes to ARC's Germinate programme of training,
development and support for rural multi-church groups of all
denominations. Resourcing Rural Ministry was first developed by
Simon Martin as Training and Resources Officer at the ARC.
Additional chapters have been contributed by the Revd Caroline
Hewlett, Rona Orme and Becky Payne and the final text has been
prepared and edited by Jill Hopkinson. 'This book is packed with
helpful resources and background theology that will aid the rural
church to be a vibrant and relevant presence in today's society.'
Revd Peter Ball, Mission and Training Officer, Eastern Synod of the
URC 'Read these contributions and you'll be excited by a wealth of
experience, insight and resource.' Rt Revd James Bell, Bishop of
Ripon
Acester (known as Ayster) is one of England's oldest cathedrals. It
is also home to a startling assortment of ghosts. They include a
bishop's skeleton, a mischievous imp, a Jacobean actor, an
eighteenth-century murderer, a woman in a mirror, a legless and an
eyeless ghost, a mysterious chorister, and an ugly spider.
Meanwhile, alongside the ghosts, the busy life of a modern
cathedral goes on, spiced by the sparrings between a rather vague
Dean and a very acerbic Canon. This is a book for all who love
stories of ghosts and clergy life in the Church of England.
This book will teach beginners and beyond the confidence and skills
to create convincing, stunning skyscapes, from rich, glowing
sunsets to bright clouds on a fresh, blustery day. This practical
and inspiring book distils award-winning artist Sandra Orme's
insights and experience into a complete course in the fundamentals
of working with pastels. She explores those aspects of colour
that are key to painting skies: how to retain vibrancy; how to
avoid muddy colours through the use of 'bridging' colours; and how
many pastels to use for the best effect. Each of the
stage-by-stage projects focuses upon a particular sky effect, and
each main stage is shown both before and after blending for
clarity. Her 'Sky clinic', which finishes the book, offers more
specialist and technical help on some of the common problems
readers might encounter. Containing the all-important specifics on
how to hold the pastel to make various marks, along with close-up
pictures showing how the surface should look before you start to
blend at each stage, this book assumes no prior knowledge – and
contains information and insights of value to even the most
confident artist.

Originally published in 1984, this is a study of the kings and the
aristocracy who ruled England between the Conquest and the
Reformation. Not, as usual, about their adult lives, but how they
became the people they were through childhood and education. The
first such study of its kind, it follows noble boys and girls from
birth through the care of their nurses, masters and mistresses,
until they left home for further training in noble households,
monasteries and universities. The author examines the theories and
treatises on noble education, again for the first time. The rest of
the book broadens into a wide cultural survey as Dr Orme describes
the skills and ideas which noble children learnt. He explains how
they mastered speech and literacy; worship and behaviour; dancing,
music and applied art; athletics and training for war. This part of
the study is a handbook of noble pursuits in medieval times. In his
final chapter the author considers the nature of noble education in
the middles ages, and examines how and whether it changed at the
Renaissance. Nicholas Orme has written a comprehensive study,
spanning 450 years of English history and making a major
contribution to social and cultural history, as well as the history
of education. His book will be invaluable to historians and
medievalists of all disciplines, and essential reading from those
who study the Renaissance.

First survey of the religious history of Cornwall, from the
county's Romano-British origins to the sixteenth century. Religious
history is the focus of this volume, which covers the development
of Christianity in the county from its Romano-British origins up to
the Elizabethan Church Settlement of 1559; it provides the first
ever in-depth study of the county's religious history during the
Middle Ages and the Reformation. The story it tells is a highly
distinctive one, full of interest, covering the uniquely numerous
local saints and founders, their legends and the parish churches,
chapels, holy wells and religious sites associated with them, as
well as the larger religious communities. The Cornish clergy are
placed in a national context and the impact of their scholarship on
the wider word is emphasised. Five general chapters are followed by
detailed histories of the 35 monasteries, friaries, collegiate
churches, and hospitals in the county. The book is well-illustrated
throughout, with numerous maps, plans,and photographs. NICHOLAS
ORME is Emeritus Professor of History at Exeter University and an
honorary canon of Truro Cathedral. He has written some twenty books
on English religious, cultural, and social history, including
Medieval Children, Medieval Schools, and The Saints of Cornwall.

Wills are invaluable records of life in the past. They bring us
close to people's attitudes to death, religion, charity, and family
relationships, as well as mentioning property such as land,
livestock, clothes, jewels and furniture. This edition gathers
together all the 122 Cornish wills of personal property that are
known to exist up to the year 1540, plus extracts from a further 66
that refer to Cornwall. They are revealing about saints' cults,
guilds,education, ships, mining, genealogy, and church buildings
and furnishings. They also illustrate the importance of emigration
from Cornwall - especially to Exeter, Oxford, and London. All the
wills are presented in modern English in complete form, and an
Introduction describes how they were administered and what they
contain.

The ethic of care has developed to become a body of theory that has
expanded from its roots in social psychology to many other
disciplines in the social sciences as well as the humanities. This
work on care has informed both theory and practice by generating
complex accounts of care ethics for multiple and intersecting kinds
of relationships, and for a variety of domains and contexts. Its
application now extends from the moral to the political realm, from
personal to public relationships, from the local to the global,
from feminine to feminist virtues and values, and from issues of
gender to issues of power and oppression. The developments in the
theories and applications of care ethics over the past few decades
make this book an appropriate and timely publication. It includes
chapters by authors who are developing or expanding theories of
care ethics and also by those who work on applying and extending
insights from care ethics to practices and policies in personal and
institutional settings. Care Ethics provides readers from different
disciplines and professional groups with a substantial number of
new theories and applications from both new and established
authors. This book was originally published as two special issues
of Ethics and Social Welfare.

In contrast to the generally dismal results of various approaches
to rehabilitation, these consciousness-based strategies have proven
effective in preventing crime and rehabilitating offenders! This
book will introduce you to a powerful, unique approach to offender
rehabilitation and crime prevention. In contrast to the generally
dismal results of most rehabilitation approaches, studies covering
periods of 1-15 years indicate that this new approachemploying the
Maharishi Transcendental Meditation (R) and TM-Sidhi
programsreduces recidivism from 35-50%. Transcendental Meditation
(R) in Criminal Rehabilitation and Crime Prevention provides the
reader with a theoretical overview, new original research findings,
and examples of practical implementation. With this book, you will
explore what motivates people to commit crimes, with emphasis on
stress and restricted self-development. Then you'll examine the
results and policy implications of applying these
consciousness-based techniques to offender rehabilitation and crime
reduction. Most chapters include tables or figures that make the
information easy to understand. Transcendental Meditation (R) in
Criminal Rehabilitation and Crime Prevention does not merely review
the theory behind this innovative approach to rehabilitation and
prevention but also emphasizes the practical value of the programs
it describes and reports how techniques and strategies based on
Transcendental Meditation (R) have been put to use in a variety of
settings. This book will familiarize the reader with: a
rehabilitation approach so universal in its applicability that any
adult or juvenile offender can begin it at the point of sentencing,
during incarceration, or at the point of parole the in-depth
background on adult growth and higher states of consciousness
necessary to understand this consciousness-based, developmental
approach the results of empirical studies conducted in prisons
around the country, with up to 15 years of follow-up a preview of
how cost-effective the rehabilitation program might be implications
for public policy and the judicial systemincluding an innovative
alternative sentencing program how this approach deals not only
with individuals but also with the community as a wholewhen
practiced by a small percentage of the population, the TM and
TM-Sidhi programs may reduce crime in the larger community how
these society-level prevention programs may prove to be effecitive
in reducing not only school violence in the community but, if
applied on sufficient scale, war deaths and terrorism in the
greater society
