Parish Notices Sunday 15th January 2017

The Rector writes I noticed in this month’s Diocesan Magazine that the Bishop is asking whether it might be a good thing to restart the ‘Bishop’s Course in Theology’ in this diocese.

I began my own theological journey in just such a way back in 2000 by completing the ‘Archbishop’s Course in Theology’ in Dublin & Glendalough and I found that it was really stimulating and exciting  (although at the time I had no idea where it would lead ! ) I highly recommend this sort of course if you would like to broaden your knowledge of things theological. Several people in Carrigaline Union completed this course when it last ran and so perhaps you could speak to them if you think you might be interested. Just talk to me and I’ll point you in the right direction!’

Random Notes CCXVIII

15 Jan 2017

Quite fascinatingly and co-incidentally, and as a follow on, so to speak, from random notes of December 18th, two rather  interesting pieces of memorabilia relating to the Rev. William  Spotswood Green, one dated during his incumbency of Carrigaline, the other just after it, have, within the past few days, come to light, contained amongst a small number papers relating to the Cork Literary and Scientific Society,  preserved at Mount Rivers.

The first is a receipted invoice, undated, but the receipt dated 24th October, 1889, from Henry Lund, of 7, Sunview terrace, College Road, Cork, to The Cork Literary & Scientific Society, for attendance, on four occasions in 1888-89, ‘with the Oxy-Hydrogen Lantern, etc. to illustrate the following lectures’, including on Thursday,10th January, 1889, the following:

‘Rev. W. Green on the Axe & Camera in the Rocky mountains,          £1-12-00’

The second item is also a receipted invoice, dated Wednesday, 23rd December, 1891, from the long established ‘Mundie’s Select Library, Ltd., of 30-34, New Oxford Street, London, to Francis William Allman, of Rathlee, Sunday’s Well, Cork, for:

Green’s Selkirk Glaciers, 1st edn., orig. cloth                                  7-6

Postage                                      41/2

 

It is evident from the above that Mr. Allman, who was at the time the treasurer of the Cork Literary and Scientific Society, and thus the recipient of Mr. Lund’s account in 1889, must have sufficiently enjoyed the rector’s illustrated lecture, to two years later buy a copy of his ‘Among the Selkirk glaciers, being the account of a rough survey in the Rocky Mountain regions of British Colombia.’, first published in London, 1890.
