Quiz Time!

[Fairbairn]

Ask a question about any aspect of the Anglican faith - as obscure as you like but reasonably Googlable.

The correct answer gives you the right to ask the next question.

My question:

What is the significance of Oxford, Cambridge and London to STR?

[TomUK]

:scratch:

[Fairbairn]

Clue: think of the Oxford part of it...

[karen freeinchristman]

:scratch: something to do with C.S. Lewis?

[chalice_thunder]

:scratch: Something to do with the Oxford Movement?

[Fairbairn]

:scratch: Something to do with the Oxford Movement?
Yes - the first generation Oxford Movement - let's call that the Tradition part of STR.

What was happening in Cambridge around the same time?

Oh!

Maybe our three legged stool was being fashioned:
scripture & reason in Cambridge and London, respectively?

You win the prize and get to ask the next questions.

Basically, in the early 19th century, the Tractarians were making the cause for Tradition in Oxford; Charles Simeon was doing his bit for Evangelicalism in Cambridge and FD Maurice was pounding the pavements in London for the cause of Reason.

Thanks! (of course, I couldn't have done it without your hints!!)

OK - next question:

The Hymnal 1982 (and I think A&M, but won't swear to it) contain 2 hymns that use the same phrase:

"...lost in wonder, love and praise."

One of them will likely be very familiar. The other perhaps not.

Can you name one or both?

Happy hunting!

[TomUK]

Got one, trying to think of the other

[chalice_thunder]

Got one, trying to think of the other
Bet I can guess the one you already have! :wave:

[TomUK]

Grrr, i know the other one but every time i try and go through it in my head i start singing a more modern Christian song called 'you chose the cross' . The chorus goes
I'm lost in wonder,
I'm lost in love,
I'm lost in praise forevermore.
Because of Jesus' unfailing love
I am forgiven, I am restored.

And that just keeps looping in my head. I've so far got love divine but i'm sure we've all got that one and the other on is the final line of a verse. Bloody google isn't helping either!

tee hee

I used to direct a diocesan choir camp every summer, called "Lost in Wonder"

As an ice-breaker, we played games. This was our trivia question the first year.
It took the entire weekend before somebody finally found it.

Yep: "Love Divine" is the fairly obvious first answer.
(side note - I hope we all sing it to the proper Welsh tune 'Hyfrydol!')



Here's a clue:

***Bonus points that don't apply to this game we are playing.
What is the longest word in the hymnal? (It's no longer in the 1982 hymnal, but was in the 1940, and I think is in A&M as well)
Hint: think Holy Spirit

[Fairbairn]

Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour Thou, With joy we worship Thee

[chalice_thunder]

Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour Thou, With joy we worship Thee

[TomUK]

Yipee!!!!!!!!

WIll post a question up later tonight.

[chalice_thunder]

Incidentally, the bonus question:
"What is the longest word in the hymnal?"

Answer comes from the hymn, "O thou who camest from above."

I N E X T I N G U I S H A B L E

(O let it freely, freely burn with inextinguishable flame)

[erin74]

someone put inextinguishable in a song?!?!?

imagine if they had to find a rhyme for that one.

Was it written by William McGonagall (http://www.it-serve.co.uk/poetry/Mcgonagall/mcgonagallhome.php)or something?
Actually - if you are unfamiliar with his work, check out this poem. (http://www.it-serve.co.uk/poetry/Mcgonagall/newtaybridge.php) It's best read outloud.

Can you believe it?
It's sung on 10 notes, over 11 beats!

I read the poem you linked, and it reminded me of Masefield's poem:

Quinquireme of Ninevah from distant Ophir
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
With a cargo of ivory,
And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.


Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
With a cargo of diamonds,
Emeralds, amethysts,
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.


Dirty British Coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack
Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
With a cargo of Tyne coal,
Road-rail, pig-lead,
Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.

I'm going to be away for the next couple of days so i won't be able to check if people are correct in their answers to my question. Therefore the next poster to this is more than welcome to take my question.

[erin74]

not sure what question to ask - but thought I would bump this. Can someone else ask a question.

[ChasingADream]

Ok, here's a googlable question...


The Lambeth Conference meets how often?

[Fairbairn]

From memory (not checking on Google), it's every 10 years?
