Lancelot Andrewes ( 1555 – 25 September 1626 ) was an English bishop and scholar, who held high positions in the Church of England during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth I and King James I.

Andrewes was born in 1555 near All Hallows, Barking, by the Tower of London-originally a dependency of Barking Abbey in Barking, Essex, of an ancient Suffolk family later domiciled at Chichester Hall, Rawreth ; his father, Thomas, was master of Trinity House.

Through the influence of Francis Walsingham, Andrewes was appointed prebendary of St Pancras in St Paul's, London, in 1589, and subsequently became Master of his own college of Pembroke, as well as a chaplain of Archbishop John Whitgift.

Following the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot Andrewes was asked to prepare a sermon to be presented to the king in 1606 ( Sermons Preached upon the V of November, in Lancelot Andrewes, XCVI Sermons, 3rd.

Andrewes was a friend of Hugo Grotius, and one of the foremost contemporary scholars, but is chiefly remembered for his style of preaching.

Andrewes was considered, next to Ussher, to be the most learned churchman of his day, and enjoyed a great reputation as an eloquent and impassioned preacher, but the stiffness and artificiality of his style render his sermons unsuited to modern taste.

He continues to influence religious thinkers to the present day, and was cited as an influence by T. S. Eliot, among others ( Eliot also borrowed, almost word for word and without his usual acknowledgement, the opening of Andrewes ' 1622 Christmas Day sermon for ' The Journey of the Magi ').

In his 1997 novel Timequake, Kurt Vonnegut suggested that Andrewes was " the greatest writer in the English language ," citing as proof the first few verses of the 23rd Psalm.

Hammond was a pioneer Anglican theologian, much influenced by Richard Hooker and Lancelot Andrewes, but also by Arminianism in the form it took in Hugo Grotius, whom he defended in his writings.

Out of the English Reformation, an understanding of salvation in terms closely comparable to the Orthodox doctrine of theosis was recognized in the Anglican tradition, for example in the writings of Lancelot Andrewes, who described salvation in terms vividly reminiscent of the early fathers:

The theological justification for Anglican distinctiveness was begun by the Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, the principal author of the first prayer book, and continued by others such as Matthew Parker, Richard Hooker and Lancelot Andrewes.

One, Lancelot Andrewes, part-author of the Authorised Version, was buried in the small chapel at the east end that afterwards became known as the " Bishop's Chapel ".

Meanwhile, the English had a denominational mix, from Catholic Augustine Baker to Anglicans William Law, John Donne and Lancelot Andrewes, to Puritans Richard Baxter and John Bunyan ( The Pilgrim's Progress ), to the first " Quaker ", George Fox and the first " Methodist ", John Wesley, who was well-versed in the continental mystics.

He was elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1987 provincial election, defeating incumbent Progressive Conservative Philip Andrewes by 1, 036 votes in the southwestern constituency of Lincoln.

On 16 and 17 January 1626 a conference was held by Charles's command, as the result of which the bishops of London ( George Montaigne ), Durham ( Richard Neile ), Winchester ( Lancelot Andrewes ), Rochester ( Buckeridge ), and St. David's ( Laud ) reported to George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham that Montagu had not gone further than the doctrine of the Church of England, or what was compatible with it.

The estate's Bishop Andrewes Church, in Wigmore Road, was designed by the architect Geddes Hyslop in 1933.

Andrewes was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party.

Andrewes was born in Beamsville, Ontario, and received a Bachelor of Science degree from the Ontario Agricultural College at the University of Guelph.

Andrewes supported Frank Miller to succeed Davis in the Progressive Conservative Party's January 1985 leadership convention, and was appointed Minister of Agriculture and Food when Miller became Premier of Ontario on February 8, 1985.

Andrewes was re-elected in the 1985 election with an increased plurality, although the Progressive Conservatives were reduced to a fragile minority government in the legislature.

Lancelot Andrewes, then Bishop of Ely, also became Casaubon's friend, taking him to Cambridge, where he met with a most gratifying reception from the notabilities of the university.

During the latter's reign, Andrewes served successively as Bishop of Chichester, Ely and Winchester and oversaw the translation of the Authorized Version ( or King James Version ) of the Bible.

In opposition, Andrewes served as his party's critic for Health and Energy.

The discovery of Aristotle's Constitution of the Athenians in 1890 reversed this trend for the broad assessment of Theramenes ' character, and Diodorus ' account of the Arginusae trial has been preferred by scholars since Antony Andrewes undermined Xenophon's account in the 1970s ; Diodorus ' more melodramatic passages, such as his elaborate presentation of Theramenes ' last moments, are still discounted, but he is now preferred on a number of issues, and on the Arginusae trial in particular.

Andrewes preached regularly and submissively before King James and his court on the anniversaries of the Gowrie Conspiracy and the Gunpowder Plot.

On the accession of James I, to whom his somewhat pedantic style of preaching recommended him, Andrewes rose into great favour.

Andrewes ' name is the first on the list of divines appointed to compile the Authorized Version of the Bible.

These Articles ( though no longer binding ) have had an influence on the ethos of the Communion, an ethos reinforced by their interpretation and expansion by such influential early theologians as Richard Hooker, Lancelot Andrewes, John Cosin, and others.

In contrast, Lancelot Andrewes and others held that episcopal government is derived from Christ via the apostles.

Andrewes attended the Cooper's free school, Ratcliff, in the parish of Stepney and then the Merchant Taylors ' School under Richard Mulcaster.

Andrewes liked to move among the people, yet found time to join a society of antiquaries, of which Walter Raleigh, Sir Philip Sidney, Burleigh, Arundel, the Herberts, Saville, Stow and Camden were members.

In this sermon Lancelot Andrewes justified the need to commemorate the deliverance and defined the nature of celebrations.

He has an academic cap named after him, known as the Bishop Andrewes cap, which is like a mortarboard but made of velvet, floppy and has a tump or tuff instead of a tassel.
