Renewal Movement

The Handbook provides a comprehensive exploration of a great renewal movement in Christian history, which has profoundly influenced not only the world Anglican Communion, but other Church traditions as well. Commencing with the Movement’s roots within both High Church and evangelical Anglicanism, and its genesis within the University of Oxford and notably Oriel College, the Handbook considers the relatively short period when the Movement could properly be called the Oxford Movement—including its publication outlets such as the Tracts for the Times, its vibrant personalities, its early years of expansion, its opposition and the backlash it inspired, culminating in the crisis of 1845–50, a crisis which for many marked its end, but which in truth brought renewed growth and diversification. The Handbook then examines the development of the Oxford Movement up to the present day, including the gradual adoption of the name Anglo-Catholicism, its adaptation to different national and cultural contexts, its growing commitment to liturgical and devotional reforms, its pastoral, missionary, and global outreach, its diverse influence on literature and the arts, and its wider ecumenical concerns.

This book is an account of the life and times of a loose friendship group (later christened the Oxford Group) of ten people, primarily postgraduate philosophy students, who attended the University of Oxford for a short period of time from the late 1960s. The Oxford Group, which included—most notably—Peter Singer and Richard Ryder, set about thinking about, talking about, and promoting the idea of animal rights and vegetarianism. The group therefore played a role, largely undocumented and unacknowledged, in the emergence of the animal rights movement and the discipline of animal ethics. Most notably, the group produced an edited collection of articles published as Animals, Men and Morals in 1971 that was instrumental in one of their number—Peter Singer—writing Animal Liberation in 1975, a book that has had an extraordinary influence in the intervening years. The book serves as a case study of how the emergence of important work and the development of new ideas can be explained, and, in particular, how far the intellectual development of individuals is influenced by their participation in a creative community.

The Church

Protestantism was a major rallying cry during the Tractarian controversies. It was anathematized by some Oxford Movement radicals as a ‘heresy’, and held tenaciously by evangelical campaigners as ‘the pure Gospel of Christ’. Protestant polemicists decried Tractarianism as a revival of Roman Catholicism in an Anglican disguise and called their brothers-in-arms to fight the theological battles of the Reformation over again. Focusing on the events in Oxford itself between 1838 and 1846, this chapter surveys the rhetoric which surrounded three overlapping themes—Protestant Reformers, Protestant Formularies, and Protestant Truth. It shows how these loomed large in the speeches and writings of those who wanted to defend the Protestant hegemony of the Church of England and the University of Oxford.

Unique Relationship

Oxford University Press operates as a department of the University of Oxford and, along with its Board of Delegates, draws many of its staff, authors, editors, and advisers from the graduates and scholars of that institution. Financial contributions from a successful and expanding Press have sustained the University during an era of decreasing state funding. The publications of the Press have enhanced and extended the scholarly reputation of the University and advertised Oxford University as a leader in education and research around the world. The Press relies upon the University for governance and a home in an academic culture that lends authority to all its publications. As a successful business located within an educational institution, the legal and fiscal status of the Press has sometimes been challenged, but the unique relationship has persisted. This chapter surveys the academic, financial, and administrative links between the two institutions.

The interdisciplinary practice-based research project, ‘The apotheosis of man, the forgotten peacock; from deconstruction to reconstruction to re-proposal of the male suit’, through a series of workshops and an interactive performance installation, aims to challenge the persisting conventional tradition of designing and wearing the male suit, proposing alternative perspectives by researcher – performance designer. The investigation focuses on the tools and means of processing the male suit in practice. It explores how to overcome conventions, generate artistic ideas, and how to apply this to something wearable. This visual essay demonstrates how the outcomes of three workshops fed on the creation of the experimental research driven suits. In all the workshops the participants were set the task to create a series of male garments by questioning and reinterpreting the notion of the masculinity and by using concepts and methods representative of deconstruction. Every participant designed and made a male garment by recycling a male suit jacket. The first presented workshop took place in May 2007, at the University of the Arts Bucharest, Romania and the participants were the second-year fashion design students. The second took place in September 2013 at the ‘World Stage Design Exhibition’, as part of the ‘Costume in Action series – Upcycling Costume: DeReconstructing Masculinity’. The participants were a mixture of student and professional international performance designers. The final two pages demonstrate the Plus Series suits, based on the addition of design elements to the suit.

Parting Of The Ways

The roots of and context for the genesis of the Oxford Movement can be traced to the intellectual and spiritual formation of its leaders, protagonists, and disciples provided within the milieu of the University of Oxford and notably Oriel College. The influence of the Oriel Noetics was crucial but that of John Keble and Hurrell Froude on the impressionable John Henry Newman and others was no less significant. A parting of the ways between those who would become Tractarians and the Noetics, first evident in the Peel election of 1829, was reflected in Oriel’s tutor dispute of 1830, giving a foretaste of the deepening divisions of the 1830s discussed in a later chapter.

Arthur Wormall was born on 17 January 1900, in Leeds. He was the second of four children (two sons and two daughters) of James William Wormall, a printer and lithographer by trade, and his wife, Anne Wormall [neePhillis). At eleven years Arthur Wormall won a Junior City Scholarship to the Boys’ Modern School, Leeds, and at seventeen was awarded a Senior City Scholarship to Leeds University where he read for the Honours B.Sc. degree in chemistry under Professor J. B. Cohen, F.R.S. One of Wormall’s closest friends during these early years was H. R. Whitehead, who graduated at the same time as Wormall and married Wormall’s youngest sister, Ellen. From the time he entered the University in October 1917, Wormall served in the O.T.C. and he joined the Royal Air Force in June 1918, at the end of his first year. The 1914-1918 war came to an end suddenly in November, and so, after a short period of service, he was demobilized and was able to resume his studies. He graduated in 1921 and immediately started research and a year later was appointed Demonstrator in Biochemistry in the Department of Physiology and Biochemistry. In 1925 Wormall married Eva Jackson. In these early days at the University Wormall lived on the outskirts of Leeds, did not travel to any extent, and was much interested in his own county, Yorkshire. He played a good deal of cricket, golf and tennis, and several times went with the University team to play cricket matches against teams in Holland and Belgium.

Speculative Thought

This year is being celebrated by a large number of our fellow-countrymen as the centenary of a movement, associated with the name of the University of Oxford, of which, although in its first stage it might easily be mistaken—and has often been mistaken—for a mere wave of theological and ecclesiastical reaction within the Established Church of England, the attentive historian of the nineteenth century must take account as in fact a very powerful influence in the religious and, no less really though to a less degree, in the social and political life of the whole nation. Considerable, however, as is the importance which may justly be attributed in other respects to what is known as the Oxford Movement, the professed student of philosophy may be excused if he is chiefly struck by the apparent remoteness of its original leaders from the currents of speculative thought characteristic of the period in which it began its course. There were perhaps among them only two who can be named as contributors to philosophical literature in the technical sense now commonly borne by the term “philosophical”; and the contributions even of these two can scarcely be said to have taken their place among the works to which an ordinary teacher of philosophy would be likely to direct the attention of his pupils. To these two, however, John Henry Newman and William George Ward, I propose to devote here a few pages which may be found not without interest to readers of Philosophy.

STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) education is currently gaining ground in many parts of the world, particularly in higher stages of the educational system. Foreseeing a development of STEAM policy and research also in the early years, this colloquium seeks to bring questions of gendering processes to the table. The authors aspire to prevent the development of a gender-blind STEAM discourse for early childhood education. Instead, they encourage practitioners and researchers to make use of STEAM education to recognise and transcend gendered norms connected to children’s being and learning in the arts, STEM and STEAM.

In September 2016, we organized a roundtable entitled “Community engaged cultural research: an emerging agenda of practice” at the 9th Midterm Conference of the ESA Research Network Sociology of the Arts in Porto, Portugal. The authors sharing their research during that session challenged us to go further and publish our experiences with society-friendly research in a variety of cultural contexts, practices, backgrounds and beliefs. By choosing the theme of “community and creative research”, this thematic issue of Conjunctions has gathered experiences from around the world (Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Portugal, Switzerland, Argentina and Cyprus) on different approaches to democratic practice using the lens of cultural participation. It feeds on the intersection of action research work performed by academics, activists, artist, theorists and citizens, who study and work within different sectors of our societies through participatory methodologies.
