Orthodox beliefs, Poole, Charitable Trusts
Orthodox
The word orthodox, from Greek orthodoxos "having the right opinion", from orthos ("right", "true", "straight") + doxa ("opinion" or "praise", related to dokein, "to think"),is typically used to mean adhering to the accepted or traditional and established faith, especially in religion.
The term did not conventionally exist with any degree of formality (in the sense in which it is now used) prior to the advent of Christianity in the Greek-speaking world, though the word does occasionally show up in ancient literature in other, somewhat similar contexts.[citation needed] Orthodoxy is opposed to heterodoxy ("other teaching"), heresy and schism. People who deviate from orthodoxy by professing a doctrine considered to be false are most often called heretics or radicals, while those who deviate from orthodoxy by removing themselves from the perceived body of believers are called schismatics. The distinction in terminology pertains to the subject matter; if one is addressing corporate unity, the emphasis may be on schism; if one is addressing doctrinal coherence, the emphasis may be on heresy.
Poole
Poole is a large coastal town and seaport in Dorset on the south coast of England. The town is 32 kilometres (20 mi) east of Dorchester, and Bournemouth adjoins Poole to the east. The Borough of Poole was made a unitary authority in 1997, gaining administrative independence from Dorset County Council. The town had a population of 138,288 according to the 2001 census, making it the second largest settlement in Dorset.
Human settlement in the area dates back to before the Iron Age. The earliest recorded use of the town's name was in the 12th century when the town began to emerge as an important port, prospering with the introduction of the wool trade. In later centuries the town had important trade links with North America and at its peak in the 18th century it was one of the busiest ports in Britain. During the Second World War the town was one of the main departing points for the D-Day landings of the Normandy Invasion.
Charitable Trust
Registered Charities in the United Kingdom may be constituted using various forms of document: those with a "Trust Deed" are Charitable Trusts. (Those with "Memorandum and Articles of Association" are Charitable Companies and those with a Constitution are based on unincorporated associations.)
A charitable trust is a type of purpose trust in that it promotes a purpose and does not primarily benefit specific individuals.
The purpose of the trust is to benefit society as a whole or a sufficiently large section of the community so that it may be considered public. Thus a charitable trust is a public purpose trust and is enforceable by the Attorney General on behalf of the Crown in England. However, in England it is normally the Charities Commission, which oversees and regulates charities (and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator in Scotland).
Generally speaking, charitable trusts are subject to the same rules as private trusts, but as a result of the public nature of such bodies, they enjoy a number of advantages over private trusts.
