Archbishop Presents MA Degrees
Monday 17 May 2004
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has this afternoon presented Lambeth M.A. degrees to the Revd Paul Hullyer and the Revd Anthony Long.
Both these awards follow the submission of theses for examination.
Notes for editors:
The Lambeth Diploma, in full, the Lambeth Diploma of Student in Theology (S.Th) and the Lambeth MA in Theology are both awarded annually though there are no recipients for the S.Th this year.
THE LAMBETH DIPLOMAS were established by Archbishop Randall Davidson in 1905 with the intention of encouraging women to study theology. Since 1943, men as well as women have been eligible to take the diploma. Candidates qualify for the diploma either by writing a thesis or taking an examination.
THE LAMBETH M.A. IN THEOLOGY BY THESIS was inaugurated in 1990 by Archbishop Runcie at the request of the Lambeth Diploma Committee in order to meet a need to provide for the possibility of theological study at a more advanced level than the Diploma. It was agreed that a limited number of candidates (thirty on the books at any one time) should be allowed to register for the M.A. procedure. These were to be graduates with honours degrees (2:1 or above) in Theology, or closely related subjects, or had gained the Lambeth Diploma with Distinction.
The Archbishop of Canterbury enjoys the right to grant such degrees by an Act of Parliament of 1533 which gave Archbishop Cranmer the right to grant dispensations previously granted by the Pope. The first M.A. by thesis was awarded in 1993. The fifteenth and sixteenth are to be awarded this year to:
The Reverend Paul Hullyer
Title of Thesis: Singing the Lord's Song
Fr. Paul graduated from Anglia Poly University with an MA in Pastoral Theology and gained a distinction. He also has a Certificate in Theology for Ministry obtained whilst studying at Westcott House Cambridge.
Fr. Paul is Vicar of All Saints, Hillingdon in the Diocese of London.
The Reverend Anthony Long
Title of Thesis: The Maintenance of God's service; Books and Parochial Liturgy in the
Diocese of Norwich, 1529-1559
Fr. Anthony gained an MA in Local and Regional History from the University of East Anglia, he also has a BTh from Southampton University and a Certificate in Education from London University.
Fr. Anthony is Rector of the Worstead group of parishes in the Diocese of Norwich.
