	The Reverend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The common abbreviations for "the Reverend" are "the Revd", "the Rev" and "the Rev'd".
		Use of the prefix with the surname alone ("The Reverend Smith") is considered a solecism in traditional circles (although "The Reverend Father Smith" or "The Reverend Mister Smith" are correct though somewhat archaic uses).
		Anglican usage is for priests and deacons to be styled "the Reverend" or "the Reverend Father", deans "the Very Reverend" ("the Very Revd"), abbots and bishops "the Right Reverend" ("the Rt Revd"), and archbishops and primates "the Most Reverend" ("the Most Revd").

	Wordwizard Clubhouse - reverend
		While the word "reverend" only occurs once in the King James Bible (Psalm 111:9 - "..., holy and reverend is His name.") and that one time it does apply to God (or his name anyway), I don't think that means that "reverend" ever had any special reserved meaning especially for God.
		REVEREND was used as an adjective in the early 15th century and referred to people worthy of deep respect because of rank, age, character, or because of their personal ability or great learning.
		REVEREND used as a noun for a clergyman; a cleric or divine.

		However, when past participle forms are used as adjectives, modification by a bare very, or by analogous adverbs such as quite, is acceptable: there can be no objection to phrases such as a very creased handkerchief, a very celebrated singer, or a very polished performance.
		What is more, some participles allow treatment as adjectives in one sense but not another: one may speak of a very inflated reputation, for example, but not, ordinarily, of a very inflated balloon.
		As a result, there is no sure way to tell which participles may be modified by a bare very—syntactic tests such as the use of the participle as an attributive adjective will themselves yield different judgments for different speakers—and writers must trust their ears.

	The Very Reverend Roger Dawson: Bringing down fire! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The Baalim was a collective of local gods with a hierarchy of superior gods and a supreme god call El who had a son Baal and a daughter Ashtart who was the central character in the sexual orgies of fertility rites that were a great attraction to the followers of the religion.
		Elijah faces the pagan Baal worshippers because they are in a drought and no doubt he is saying ‘what has happened to Baal and the battle with the dragon?’ The king at that time is Ahab and he blames Elijah for the drought because Elijah has come to give him a message from YHWH.
		In verse 4 he says that through Jesus’ death the promised age to come that is to be an age of freedom and forgiveness has now finally arrived and, what he describes as ‘this present evil age’ has lost its grip on reality.

	The Very Reverend Robert Hogarth - Brother of Bishop William
		Hogarth was born in the county of Westmorland, on the 15th of January, 1785, in the very same mansion, Dodding Green, which was priviledged also to be the scene of his happy death.
		His parents were devout Catholics, who with their forefathers through ages of persecution had kept the faith, and who, like many of the small landholders in the county, had retained also the family possessions from times as remote as any of the noblest families in the land.
		Robert Hogarth was one of the first, if not the very first, that was ordained priest at Ushaw, on May 4th, in the year 1809, after having been thoroughly trained in solid learning and sound piety by Eyre and Lingard, and other noble inheritors of the glories of Douay.

		When working on his essay "The Idea of a University," John Henry Newman demonstrated that the very name "universitas" highlights the fact that the university is not a place where there is merely a quantitative accumulation of knowledge or simply a conglomeration of faculties and institutes.
		The risk that this could happen is very real; however, just as, on the one and, we must scrupulously and decidedly avoid such an abuse, on the other hand this risk cannot inhibit us from doing what is necessary for Jesuits to carry out their proper role in the college or university.

		If my professor's words are true and if they contain some wisdom, then they should reveal something very profound to this congregation today: to those of us who teach the law or who practice the law or who administer the law.
		When the laws are out of sync and disruptive of the rhythm of the community, injustice and inequality result and the chance for peace gives way to conflict.
		Whenever the community is in conflict, its very existence and essence are threatened.

		In 1959 Bishop Ronald Williams offered Lawrence the country Living of St Mary's, Wymswold where one of the Incumbents had been the Reverend H Alford, the author of the well-known Harvest hymn 'Come, yet thankful people, come'.
		He also became a very active Freemason, thereby gaining contact with people who rarely went to Church, though many began to do so under his influence.
		This was to be the greatest challenge of his ministry, because it was inevitably a very different role from that of a parish priest.

	DON'T CALL ME REVEREND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		So far as I am able to learn, the title "reverend" was never used in connection with a mere man for at least 1,400 years after all those elders were ordained in New Testament times.
		According to the Oxford Universal Dictionary, the title of "reverend" was first applied to persons of age and character in 1449.
		In 1485, the deans in the Catholic Church were given the title of "Very Reverend" and the bishops were called "Right Reverend." God's title was "Reverend," so in order for the deans and bishops to be more highly honored than God, they used "Very Reverend" for the deans and "Right Reverend" for the bishops.

		Women should have their heads covered and be dressed in fl (only Queens wear white in the Pope's presence); men must remove their hats in his presence.
		If kneeling would be awkward or impossible, or if he is not your own Archbishop, bow at the waist and kiss his ring (do not do either if the Pope is present).
		It is also customary for many people, especially those in Latin cultures, to kiss the priest's hand to honor the Eucharist, as they alone are able to consecrate (unless the Pope is present).
