Diocese of Durham The Bishop of Durham recently led a service at St Edmunds Church, Bearpark, in order to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the village pit closure. The pit was a coal mining area that took the lives of many yet still provided a great number of people with work and encompassed a sense of community. Its closure was regarded as a great loss. The Rt Rev Paul Butler presided over the service, which involved readings from various village groups and a re-dedication of the memorial plaque dedicated to those who lost their lives within the pit. “We all know working in the pit was a tough, hard craft. It was not glamorous. But it did create camaraderie and friendship,” the Bishop said of the pit. Diocese of Lichfield In the first few months of 2014, the Lichfield cathedral initiative to repair and restore stonework and conserve the renaissance glass of the Lady Chapel has seen tremendous progress. With just under £60,000 left to raise off the appeal target of £3.7 million before they can reach the ultimate goal of re-installing the Herkenrode Glass in spring 2015, the Give the Lasting Gift appeal launched in 2013 has proved to be a terrific success. Many generous donors sponsoring the conservation work of animals, angels and Diocese of Durham characters featured within the windows have contributed to the money raised.

    PEPPERPOTS NEWSLETTER OF THE FRIENDS OF SOUTHWELL CATHEDRAL Within a matter of weeks the Friends of Southwell Cathedral discovered that they were losing both their President and the Chairman of the Council. We shall greatly miss the involvement of the Rt Revd Paul Butler who in his short time in office has been an engaged and hospitable President. We are nonetheless delighted that his talents have been recognised by his appointment to succeed Archbishop Justin Welby as Bishop of Durham, one of the five senior sees in No 38 the Church of England with an Autumn 2013 automatic seat in the House of Lords.

  • A Report on the Developments in Women's Ministry in 2018
    A Report on the Developments in Women’s Ministry in 2018 WATCH Women and the Church A Report on the Developments in Women’s Ministry 2018 In 2019 it will be: • 50 years since women were first licensed as Lay Readers • 25 years since women in the Church of England were first ordained priests • 5 years since legislation was passed to enable women to be appointed bishops In 2018 • The Rt Rev Sarah Mullaly was translated from the See of Crediton to become Bishop of London (May 12) and the Very Rev Viv Faull was consecrated on July 3rd, and installed as Bishop of Bristol on Oct 20th. Now 4 diocesan bishops (out of a total of 44) are women. In December 2018 it was announced that Rt Rev Libby Lane has been appointed the (diocesan) Bishop of Derby. • Women were appointed to four more suffragan sees during 2018, so at the end of 2018 12 suffragan sees were filled by women (from a total of 69 sees). • The appointment of two more women to suffragan sees in 2019 has been announced. Ordained ministry is not the only way that anyone, male or female, serves the church. Most of those who offer ministries of many kinds are not counted in any way. However, WATCH considers that it is valuable to get an overview of those who have particular responsibilities in diocese and the national church, and this year we would like to draw attention to The Church Commissioners. This group is rarely noticed publicly, but the skills and decisions of its members are vital to the funding of nearly all that the Church of England is able to do.

  • Diocese of Durham: Diocesan Synod, May 21 2010 Presidential Address
    Diocese of Durham: Diocesan Synod, May 21 2010 Presidential Address: The Bishop of Durham, the Rt Revd N. T. Wright, DD Some of you, older synodical hands than I, have seen bishops come and go over a long period, and no doubt you tick them off one by one in your mind, perhaps even carving another notch on the end of the pew. But for me this is a strange moment, and also sad. This isn’t the moment for farewells; we shall come to that in July. But this will be my last Diocesan Synod, and I want to pay grateful tribute to those who have faithfully carried the administrative work of the Diocese over the last seven years, not least the Diocesan Secretary and his colleagues in the office, the successive Chairs of the Houses of Clergy and Laity, and the DBF and especially its Chair, and to you in Synod past and present. Our new Diocesan Annual Report speaks powerfully, in its style and presentation as well as its content, of the energy and clarity upon which we now can call, so that even in financially challenging circumstances we can hold our heads up and do a cheerful and professional job. My deep gratitude to all those involved. I shall say more ‘thank-yous’ on another occasion. But today, as we reflect on synodical business in particular, there is one theme which I see as urgently necessary. I chose Romans 14 as our reading for this morning’s worship to set the stage for this, and I’d be grateful if we could turn back to it now.

  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx).
