Excerpt from Address by His Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, and Report of the Bishopric Proceedings at a Meeting of the Worcester Diocesan Conference: Held in the Midland Institute, Birmingham, on Wednesday, October 7, 1903; The Lord Bishop of Worcester Presiding
I ask you to believe me when I say that it is in no formal or conventional sense that I am using the words when I tell you that I regard it genuinely as a high privilege to be here this afternoon. Among the responsibilities, the anxieties, the burdens which belong to the office that I hold, which are not light, and which I venture to believe have never been less light than they are today, there are, on the other hand, some compensations. Among the compensations or alleviations which attend the carrying of these responsibilities is this, that the Archbishop is allowed perhaps more frequently than other men who hold episcopal office to be in personal touch with the life of.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the 1903 establishment of the Bishopric of Birmingham in England. In the late 19th and early 20th century, amid concerns over religious strife, poverty, and the need for church reform in Birmingham, efforts were made to divide the expansive Worcester diocese and create a new one centered in Birmingham. This book details the efforts of notable figures such as the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Worcester, and Viscount Cobham, among others, to raise funds and garner support for the new bishopric. The author explores the arguments for and against the division, including debates over the allocation of funds, the need for increased episcopal oversight, and the potential impact on the clergy and laity. Ultimately, the book provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by the Church of England during a period of significant social and religious change.
