DESCRIPTION:The Scottish Prayer Book of 1637 was one of the most controver
 sial works printed in early Stuart Britain - when it was first used in Edi
 nburgh's St Giles Cathedral it famously provoked a riot.   Soon\, the reli
 gious and political tensions between Charles and his subjects led to civil
  war across the three Stuart kingdoms.  In Christ Church we have a copy of
  the 1632 Prayer Book with annotations from Archbishop William Laud and Ki
 ng Charles (MS 540)\; this texts sheds important new  light on the develop
 ment of Caroline religious policies and the relationship between the Stuar
 t Churches.  In this colloquium\, leading historians will discuss the sign
 ificance of Christ Church MS 540\, showing its place in the wider story of
  the Civil Wars and the development of a distinctive religious identity th
 at would become Anglicanism.   It will mark the return of MS 540 from cons
 ervation which has been generously supported by the National Manuscripts C
 onservation Trust.\n\nSpeakers include Richard Cust (University of Birming
 ham)\, Ken Fincham (University of Kent)\, Sarah Mortimer (Christ Church\, 
 Oxford)\, and William White (University of Hertfordshire).\n\nThere will b
 e a £20 registration fee (free for students/unwaged)\, which will include
  refreshments (not including lunch) and the drinks reception after Evenson
 g.  The conference will be held in Christ Church Upper Library*\, St Aldat
 es\, Oxford OX1 1DP.\n\n\n* We regret that access to the Upper Library is
