| | Abbey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | An abbey (from the Latin abbatia, which is derived from the Syriac abba, "father"), is a Christian monastery or convent, under the government of an Abbot or an Abbess, who serve as the spiritual father or mother of the community. | | | The cloister and monastic buildings lie to the south side of the church. | | | When the annexed ground-plan was taken, shortly before its destruction, nearly all the monastery, with the exception of the church, had been rebuilt. |

| | Westminster Abbey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | According to tradition a shrine was first founded in 616 on the present site, then known as Thorney Island; it was said to have been miraculously consecrated after a fisherman on the River Thames saw a vision of Saint Peter, and for many centuries the monks received presents of salmon from the Thames fishermen. | | | In 1579, Elizabeth re-established Westminster as a "Royal Peculiar" – a church responsible directly to the sovereign, rather than to a diocesan bishop – and made it the Collegiate Church of St Peter, (that is a church with an attached chapter of canons, headed by a dean). | | | Its construction originated in King Edward's failure to keep a vow to go on a pilgrimage; the Pope agreed that he redeem himself by building a church to St. Peter. |

| | A FEW WORDS IN FAVOR OF EDWARD ABBEY |
| | Abbey, character is given, or it takes, a certain precedence, and that precedence makes him a writer and a man of a different kind—and probably a better kind—than the practitioner of mere sobriety, information, and logic. | | | Abbey's blasphemies against sacred cows, one should be wary of the assumption that they are merely humorous or (as has been suggested) merely 'image-making" stunts calculated to sell articles to magazines. | | | He is a problem, apparently, even to some of his defenders, who have an uncontrollable itch to apologize for him: "Well, he did say that. |

| | If he had been religious, which in a way he was, he would have preferred the avenging Jehovah to the all-nature-encompassing Buddha. | | | Still, it is clear that he believed the evil empire must all be destroyed, just as feudalism once was; the new order must bring down the monuments of the old. | | | He was even willing to tamper with that holy of American holies, private property, if that was necessary to preserve undisturbed natural order (and it is, it is). |
