Scales voiced the speaking ("cawing") role of Magpie, the eponymous thief in a 2003 recording of Gioachino Rossini's opera La gazza ladra ( The Thieving Magpie). In 2000, Scales appeared in the film The Ghost of Greville Lodge as Sarah. The same year, she appeared as Eleanor Bunsall in Midsomer Murders ' "Beyond the Grave". In 2001, she appeared in two episodes of Silent Witness ' "Faith" as Mrs Parker. In 2003, she appeared as Hilda, "she who must be obeyed", wife of Horace Rumpole, in four BBC Radio 4 plays, with Timothy West playing her fictional husband. Scales and West toured Australia at the same time in different productions. Scales appeared in a one-woman show called An Evening with Queen Victoria, which also featured the tenor Ian Partridge singing songs written by Prince Albert. Scales has performed An Evening with Queen Victoria more than 400 times, in theatres around the world, over the course of 30 years. [14]

Scales started her career in 1951 as an assistant stage manager at the Bristol Old Vic. But she has stated "I have always wanted to be an actor". [9] Throughout her career, she has often been cast in comic roles. Her early work included the (now believed to be lost) second UK adaptation of Pride and Prejudice (1952), Laxdale Hall (1953), Hobson's Choice (1954), The Matchmaker on Broadway (1955), Room at the Top (1959) and Waltz of the Toreadors (1962). Illingworth's thought underwent little development. Most of the major themes in his philosophy are introduced in his first major work, the Bampton Lectures on Personality Human and Divine (1894), and his subsequent books, Divine Immanence (1898), Reason and Revelation (1901), Christian Character (1904), The Doctrine of the Trinity (1907), Divine Transcendence (1911) and The Gospel Miracles (1915), restate, expand or refine the basic arguments with only minor modifications and shifts of emphasis. The most important of the latter are the greater stress on divine transcendence and, with the experience of the First World War, on the reality of sin and evil. Illingworth, Rev. John Richardson".

John Richardson Illingworth was born in London on 26 June 1848 and died in Longworth, Oxfordshire on 21 August 1915. He was the son of a prison chaplain in London, was educated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and became Fellow of Jesus College and tutor at Keble College at the same university in 1872. He was ordained priest in 1876. For reasons of health he withdrew from academic life to the rectory of Longworth, Oxfordshire, in 1883, where he remained for the rest of his life despite several offers of academic positions. He declined to give the Gifford Lectures in 1902, but received an honorary doctorate of divinity from Edinburgh University in the same year. Illingworth became a member of the Lux Mundi group and contributed two essays to Lux Mundi in 1889. Heritage, Stuart (7 November 2016).

Illingworth was born in London on 26 June 1848 [8] to an Anglo-Catholic family, [9] the second son of Edward Arthur Illingworth (1807–1883), chaplain to Middlesex House of Correction, [10] and his wife, Mary Taylor. [11] He was educated at St Paul's School, an all-boys public school in London. [12] As a child, he worshipped at St Alban's Church, Holborn, and at All Saints, Margaret Street. [12] He won both an exhibition and a scholarship to attend the University of Oxford. [13] He then studied literae humaniores ( classical studies) at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and achieved first-class honours in both mods and greats, [14] graduating in 1871 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.

we can conceive of an Infinite Being as One whose only limit is Himself, and who is, therefore, self-determined, self-dependent, self-identical; including the finite, not as a necessary mode, but as a free manifestation of Himself, and thus, while constituting its reality, unaffected by its change – in other words, as an Infinite Person. ( Personality Human and Divine, p. 92)For Illingworth the term ‘Absolute’ expressed the doctrine of divine freedom. God and His actions are in no way constrained or determined by any objective nature beyond His own free personality: ‘God … does not love because it is His nature to limit Himself, but He limits Himself because it is His nature to love’ ( The Gospel Miracles, p. 157). Illingworth went beyond Lotze by renewing Jacobi's position that a person is not only an ‘independent centre of being’, but also ‘essentially and constitutionally social’ ( The Gospel Miracles, p. 191). Since others are potential parts of a self, dependence on others is not necessarily dependence on a not-self. Human persons are finite and imperfect, but ‘a complete and perfect Person would be one for whom there was no essential not-self, because all essential experience was His own’ ( Divine Transcendence, p. 47). This, Illingworth argued, does not preclude but rather points in the direction of such internal relationships within the Godhead, as Illingworth's characteristic ‘social’ interpretation of the Trinity proclaimed. ‘Sociality is … of the very essence of personality as we know it, though limitation is not’ ( Divine Transcendence, p. 49).

London: Macmillan and Co.Her biography, Prunella, written by Teresa Ransom, was published by UK publishing imprint John Murray in 2005. [25] A central issue that distinguished the movement of personal idealism was its insistence, against the Absolute idealists, that the Absolute must be understood as personal and identical with the God of theism, that personality is not essentially finite and relative. Illingworth was one among many who cited and developed Lotze's argument that finitude is not a precondition of personality, but rather a hindrance to its full development, and that perfect personality was therefore to be found only in God. Illingworth defended the fundamental theistic position that God is self-contained and independent of necessary relation to creation, turning against the pantheistic position of German idealism and later process theology according to which God realizes himself through the evolutionary development of the universe and is thus dependent on the latter: ‘we might say that His purpose is increasingly realized, but not His person’ ( Divine Transcendence, p. 49). But in contradistinction to the personal idealists Rashdall and Sorley, he also rejected the conception of the Absolute as the ‘totality of all existence’, ‘the world-ground together with the world’, ‘God together with creation’, as ‘practically meaningless’, since ‘we can attach no common predicate, beyond that of bare existence, to such an absolute’ ( Divine Transcendence, p. 14). He insisted that
