SUMMARY:Anne Lawrence - Mathers: Prediction\, Prognostication – or Divination? The Medieval Calendar as a guide to the Future.
DESCRIPTION:Anyone who listens to news broadcasts will be familiar with modern forms of forecasting and predicting. These range from the scientific\, like weather forecasts\, to the more contentious\, like predictions concerning the future state of the economy. Medieval people also had ways of making ‘scientific’ predictions\, many of which were rooted in beliefs about time\, and its intricate relationships to the planets and the stars. \n\n\n\nThis lecture will begin with the striking amount of astronomical and astrological information incorporated into medieval calendars\, and then demonstrate how this was used in association with texts known as ‘prognostics’ in order to make various sorts of predictions. It will begin with weather forecasts\, then as now recognised as important and valuable. From there we shall move on to instructions for timing medical treatments and evaluating a patient’s chances of recovery from illness. The lecture will end with more debatable\, but still time-related methods of gaining insight into the future\, from judicial astrology to geomancy. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Tuesday 18 March. \n\n\n\nThis event is also available to watch online. Please book a separate ticket if you wish to join us online instead of in person for this lecture: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/8a92f845-4c66-425e-9795-c652f4dc87b5@95e2463b-3ab0-47b4-9ac1-587c77ee84f0 \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Arnold Hunt (University of Durham): The Forgotten Laudian? Richard Steward and the origins of Anglican high churchmanship
DESCRIPTION:Richard Steward (1595-1651) played a key role in the promotion of Laudianism in the 1630s and the formation of Anglican royalism in the 1640s. During the Uxbridge negotiations in 1645\, he exerted a decisive influence in persuading the king not to compromise on episcopacy\, and after Charles’s execution in 1649 he continued to play an influential role in holding together the exiled royalist community and arguing against any accommodation with the Commonwealth regime. Yet his significance as a Laudian ideologue and preacher remains obscure\, largely because his sermons never appeared in print during his lifetime. \n\n\n\nThis paper will reconstruct Steward’s career and situate his sermons in their original context in the 1620s in order to highlight his importance as a central figure in the development of Laudianism. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Monday 24 March. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.
