* Professor The Reverend Canon Vigo Auguste Demant ( 1893 – 1983 ), Theologian, Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology, Oxford

Indeed, it is even surprising in the Canon of Christ Church and Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History, who fathered this most peculiar view, and in the brilliant Professor of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge, who inherited it and is now its most eminent proponent.

The Matins services for Holy Monday through Thursday are referred to as " Bridegroom Prayer " because the troparion of the day and the exapostilarion ( the hymn that concludes the Canon ) develop the theme of " Christ the Bridegroom " ( Thursday has its own troparion, but uses the same exapostilarion ).

The committee included, Canon Theodore Gibson, Rector of Christ Episcopal Church in Coconut Grove, who was to become the leader of Miami's Civil Rights Movement, David A. Douglas, manager of the Atlanta Life Insurance Company and others such as Rev.

In the early 19th century, the reforming zeal of Provosts John Eveleigh and Edward Copleston gained Oriel the reputation of being the most brilliant college of the day and the centre of the " Oriel Noetics " — clerical liberals such as Richard Whately and Thomas Arnold were Fellows, and the during the 1830s, two intellectually eminent Fellows of Oriel, John Keble and The Blessed John Henry Newman, supported by Canon Pusey ( also an Oriel fellow initially, later at Christ Church ) and others, formed a group known as the Oxford Movement, alternatively as the Tractarians, or familiarly as the Puseyites.

Pusey House was opened in 1884 in part as a memorial to Edward Bouverie Pusey, Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford University, Canon of Christ Church Cathedral and for 40 years, a leading figure in the Oxford Movement, a movement of the mid 19th century which sought to bring the Church of England to a deeper understanding of its witness as part of the universal Catholic Church.

In 1936, he returned to Oxford as Regius Professor of Hebrew and Canon of Christ Church.

* Vatican Website with Canon Law of Roman Catholic Church

In the Roman Catholic Church according to the norms of the Code of Canon Law 1983 a Benedictine abbey is a " religious institute ", and its professed members are therefore members of the " Consecrated Life ", commonly referred to as " Religious ".

** Canon law ( Catholic Church )

The first Conciliar document on celibacy of the Western Christian Church ( Canon 33 of the Synod of Elvira, c. AD 305 ) states that the discipline of celibacy is to refrain from the use of marriage, i. e. refrain from having carnal contact with your spouse.

According to Christian Tradition and Canon Law, the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria only ordains men to the priesthood and episcopate, and if they wish to be married, they must be married before they are ordained.

In the Catholic Church, " the first infallible and effectually promulgated pronouncement on the Canon " was that defined by the Council of Trent.

Chapter 1, Article 3 of the Confession reads: " The books commonly called Apocrypha, not being of divine inspiration, are no part of the Canon of Scripture ; and therefore are of no authority in the Church of God, nor to be any otherwise approved, or made use of, than other human writings.

" The letter was eventually accepted as part of the Canon by the Church Fathers such as Athanasius and the Synods of Laodicea ( c. 363 ) and Carthage ( 397 ).

A similar declaration was issued with regard to Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo's conferring of episcopal ordination on four men-all of whom, by virtue of previous Independent Catholic consecrations, claimed already to be bishops-on 24 September 2006: the Holy See, as well as stating that, in accordance with Canon 1382 of the Code of Canon Law, all five men involved incurred automatic (" latae sententiae ") excommunication through their actions, declared that " the Church does not recognise and does not intend in the future to recognise these ordinations or any ordinations derived from them, and she holds that the canonical state of the four alleged bishops is the same as it was prior to the ordination.

A modern version of this appeal to catholic consensus is found in the Canon Law of the Church of England and also in the liturgy published in Common Worship:

* Canon 4: Exhortation to the Greeks to reunite with the Roman Church and accept its maxims, to the end that, according to the Gospel, there may be only one fold and only one shepherd.

* Canon 13 forbids the establishment of new religious orders, lest too great diversity bring confusion into the Church.

* Canon 22: Before prescribing for the sick, physicians shall be bound under pain of exclusion from the Church, to exhort their patients to call in a priest, and thus provide for their spiritual welfare.

The Church Fathers, witnessed by the Muratorian Canon, Irenaeus ( c. 170 ), Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and Tertullian, held that the Gospel of Luke was written by Luke.

Canon law prohibits the College and the Camerlengo from introducing any innovations or novelties in the government of the Church during this period.

In light of this questioning of the canon of Scripture by Protestants in the 16th century, the ( Roman Catholic ) Council of Trent reaffirmed the traditional western canon ( i. e., the canon accepted at the 4th-century Council of Rome and Council of Carthage ), thus making the Canon of Trent and the Vulgate Bible dogma in the Catholic Church.

Nonetheless, full dogmatic articulations of the canon were not made until the Canon of Trent of 1546 for Roman Catholicism, the Thirty-Nine Articles of 1563 for the Church of England, the Westminster Confession of Faith of 1647 for Calvinism, and the Synod of Jerusalem of 1672 for the Greek Orthodox.

The Canon of the New Testament, like that of the Old, is the result of a development, of a process at once stimulated by disputes with doubters, both within and without the Church, and retarded by certain obscurities and natural hesitations, and which did not reach its final term until the dogmatic definition of the Tridentine Council.

In the Latin-Rite ( i. e. Western ) Catholic Church, the sacrament is to be conferred at about the age of discretion ( generally taken to be about 7 ), unless the Episcopal Conference has decided on a different age, or there is danger of death or, in the judgement of the minister, a grave reason suggests otherwise ( canon 891 of the Code of Canon Law ).

The St Helena Church News was published from 1888, the Parish Magazine from 1889, the Diocesan Magazine from 1901 and the Jamestown Monthly from 1912 The latter was renamed the St Helena Church Magazine and was published until 1945 by Canon Wallcot, who extended news coverage from church matters to also include island news after the closure of the St Helena Guardian.

Paul IV's 1559 bull, Cum ex apostolatus officio, stipulated that a heretic cannot be elected pope, while Canon 188. 4 of the 1917 Code of Canon Law provides that a cleric who publicly defects from the Catholic faith automatically loses any office he had held in the Church.
