Fr Arthur Tooth SSC

Arthur Tooth SSC (17 June 1839 – 5 March
1931) was a ritualist priest in the Church of
England and a member of the Society of the
Holy Cross.

St Mary the Less Lambeth circa 1836

minister of St Mary Magdalene’s mission church
in the parish of St. Nicholas Church, Chiswick. In
1868 he became vicar of St James’s Hatcham, a
working class parish in south-east London.

Tooth’s efforts to renew the life of St James’
Hatcham started to attract large congregations.
His approach combined capable preaching,
the introduction of ritualist practices and the
establishment of parish organisations designed to
help the more needy residents of the area. He also
established the Guild of All Souls at St James’s in
1873.

Tooth was born on 17 June 1839 at Swifts Park When the Public Worship Regulation Act was
near Cranbrook, Kent. He was educated at passed in 1874, those who disapproved of his
Tonbridge School and, in 1858, became a student ritualist liturgical practices set a prosecution in
at Trinity College, Cambridge. He graduated in motion. He was charged with (among other things)
science in 1862. the use of incense, vestments, and altar candles.
The case came before Lord Penzance at Lambeth
Palace on 13 July 1876. Tooth did not attend as
he refused to recognise the authority of the court.
He ignored both the judicial warnings that resulted
from his non-attendance and the legal attempts to
restrain him from exercising his ministry, although

After he graduated from Cambridge University, London’s Horsemonger Lane Gaol
Tooth travelled around the world twice (he became
an accomplished horseman and crack shot) and
he discovered a vocation to the priesthood –
although no satisfactory explanation seems to
have been found for what sparked off his interest
in ritualism. He was ordained deacon in 1863 to a
title at St Mary-the-Less, Lambeth, but he spent
only a year there because his churchmanship
clashed with that of his vicar. He was ordained
priest in 1864 and served a second curacy at
St Mary’s Folkestone. From 1865 to 1868 he was

purpose by his opponents.
Eventually, on 22 January 1877, as a result of
repeatedly ignoring the decisions of the Court of
Arches, he was taken into custody for contempt
of court and imprisoned at London’s Horsemonger
Lane Gaol. This action immediately transformed
him in the eyes of Anglo-Catholics from a rebel
into a Christian martyr, and his story became
national headline news.
The agitations that resulted from his arrest and
imprisonment played a central role in bringing the
Public Worship Regulation Act into disrepute. His
conviction was quashed on a technicality.

Our Festival of Title

Sunday 25th November was a wonderful
celebration of over one hundred and fifty years
of Anglo-catholic worship in our church.
This was Fr Mark’s first ‘Festival of Title’ with
us and he did it with great style and aplomb!
Ably assisted by Fr Robert, Fr Tony and
Fr Christopher and a full team of servers
(well done Keith for carrying that very heavy
cross!), the Mass, followed by procession of
the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction, was
a triumph and a fitting celebration of our faith –
as someone commented, “proper religion”.

12

– Christ the King!

As is becoming customary, we had a very thought
provoking sermon delivered by Fr Mark and there
was certainly a very positive ‘vibe’ among the
congregation after the service. This was also very
evident over the lunch table.
Our celebratory lunch was once again hosted
by The Cumberland Hotel, who provided a very
generous Carvery and for those who indulged,
wine flowed! Although the hotel was very heavily
booked for lunch (which meant that there was
a bit of a wait for some people and bit of queue
management was needed), I believe a good time
was had by all! It was certainly good value! Well
done Elizabeth for doing so well at getting the
tickets sorted – not easy with people changing
their minds or leaving it to the last minute. And
thanks too to the rest of the events team.

REMINDER! New Car Park permits

The new Car Park permits are now in use. Please see Steve and get your new 'electrostatic'
permit (you peel the front plastic film off and they stick to your windscreen without adhesive and
peel off with no residue), by signing-up or renewing your parking subscription.

This year we have introduced a fixed minimum charge of £45.00 for a Congregation permit.
You may, of course, pay more at your discretion if you feel that you are able – the real value of town-
centre parking is far more than the ‘cover price’ of the permit. There are also numbered permits for both
Car Parks for the reserved spaces to help us monitor usage and any abuses.

My New Role

Paul Fella – Events Co-ordinator

Earlier this year I was approached by some of our
congregation and asked whether I would be prepared to
take on a role that would bring together the varied and
disperate elements that were involved in running our
Events, Concerts, Recitals, Outings etc. The idea behind
this being to reduce the risk of diary clashes; ensure
venue availability; arrange supervision, management or
staffing when necessary; provide promotional materials
and advertising opportunities; increase Internet and Social
Media exposure; help with sponsorship and more…

This idea was then put to the PCC and at their September meeting and the Events Co-ordinator
post was created. I have subsequently accepted the nomination. This does not mean that I will
be doing everything (far from it), but in taking this on, I hope to encourage the flourishing of ideas
and opportunities for mission and outreach. However, this function can only be successful if there
is input, help and co-operation from all of us here at St Saviour’s. We need to be more active in
fellowship, fundraising and mission – so thinking caps on!

Unfortunately ‘management’ means an amount of administration, and to that end from
1st January 2019, ANYONE who wishes to have an event of any sort, will have to discuss it with
me. They will then be asked to complete a simple form that will provide the necessary information
and detail, to ensure that things will run smoothly when their event takes place.
NO FORM – NO EVENT. I hope it works!!

She played four Beethoven sonatas (including
the ‘Waldstein’). This was a truly breathtaking
display of virtuoso playing at a very high level. If
you missed it, you really missed out on something
very special. But don’t worry, she will be back in
2019, so do make a point of coming to hear her.

So we now move into December. We have two
further concerts in our regular series, the first
being a meditation in words and music for Advent
on Monday 3rd at 1.00pm, which will be given
by David Horne and me. Please come along and
support us it would be lovely to see you there.
Then on the 16th at 2.45pm there will be another
concert in the former ‘Underground Series’ by the
Archaeus Quartet. The standard of these concerts
is extraordinary, please do try to come along if
you can.
