Sarah Mullally is named as first female archbishop of Canterbury
No 10 announces decision although role will not legally be taken on until January, before an enthronement service Sarah Mullally has been named as the first female leader of the Church of England as Downing Street announced the 106th archbishop of Canterbury nearly a year on from Justin Welby’s resignation over the handling of a safeguarding scandal.

YES LADIES, THIS IS THE WAY. Escape facilitated by former students to boot. 🥰

Fascinated by the Provost’s use of ‘health & safety’ concerns and depicting them as ‘fragile’ & in need of ‘professional help’ in order to deny them their convent. As if these ladies need to be told what’s good for them.

'Everyday Erudition: John Locke, the Bible and
the Challenge of Early Modern Biblical
Scholarship', by Timothy Twining bit.ly/3IkveRA

How was ‘everyday erudition’ used to come to terms with the historical reality of Christian revelation? 1/2
'Everyday Erudition: John Locke, the Bible and the Challenge of Early Modern Biblical Scholarship', by Timothy Twining. Full abstract: The history of early modern scholarship was long written as a subject set at some remove from the rest of early modern society. Learning was the common property of like-minded scholars in the ‘Republic of Letters’, linked by shared codes of elite sociability and united by a mutual concern to transcend religious boundaries. Recent years have seen such views challenged, with studies demonstrating how much scholarly activity was undertaken to achieve confessional objectives. Yet, these contributions have chiefly focused on orthodox clerical scholars. This article uses the case of John Locke to present a new perspective on the place and significance of erudition in the early modern period. It is based on a thoroughgoing examination of Locke’s lifetime of religious reading, bringing together evidence from his manuscript notebooks and journals, his library catalogues and annotated books, and his correspondence and published works. It coins the notion of ‘everyday erudition’ to reveal how learning was not an abstruse concern. Instead, for Locke and his contemporaries at multiple points on the sociocultural scale, it was a kind of common currency, a tool to be used to come to terms with the historical reality of Christian revelation

This is not only a serious issue for historians and not only a serious issue for academics (although it is that). It's a development that's also deleterious for the GLAM sector, for example, and part of a much larger trend nationally and internationally to restrict and dismantle access to archives.

Day 12: still no word from the Home Office after they asked me to explain why I couldnt receive medical treatment in the USA ($$$). I wake up at 3 am CST each day to monitor emails. This is taking a toll on my health. I'm a UK citizen. I'm under the care of British doctors. Why must I justify this?
