  • 'Creating Connections' Five Week Discipleship Course
    ‘CREATING CONNECTIONS’ DISCIPLESHIP COURSE - COURSE GUIDE ‘CR E ATING CONNECTIONS’ FIVE WEEK DISCIPLESHIP COURSE www.bristol.anglican.org ‘CREATING CONNECTIONS’ DISCIPLESHIP COURSE - COURSE GUIDE PAGE 1 OF 2 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Diocese of Bristol ‘Creating connections’ Discipleship Course resource. The Discipleship course is themed around our diocesan vision, ‘Creating connections’, and leads participants to consider what it means to be a disciple connected to God, each other and our communities. It is our prayer that, as small groups meet together across the Diocese to spend time exploring God’s word through this resource, we would discover afresh what it means to be a follower of Christ bearing witness to His name. Each session is accompanied by a leader’s guide which includes the suggested elements of each session: • A hospitality idea and introductory activity to help people to connect and build relationships with each other. • A Bible study and prayer activity to help people explore and deepen their connection with God. Each study has been written by a different member of the Bishop’s Staff Team. • A topic question for groups to discuss and a challenge for people to undertake during that week, to help them to connect with the communities of which they are a part. Each topic’s introduction has been written by Janey Hiller. You are free to edit the session as you see fit to meet the needs of your group. Each session is also accompanied by a participants’ sheet which includes the questions for the Bible study. Again you are free to edit and adapt these questions as you feel appropriate.

  • Cathedral Food Collection Centrediocese of Bristol
    Cathedral food collection centre by Oliver Home - http://www.bristol.anglican.org/2013/cathedral-food-parcel-collection/ Cathedral food collection centre Bristol Cathedral has opened its doors as a drop off point for food parcel donations for FoodBanks, as churches lead efforts to combat food poverty this Christmas and remind people that Christmas Starts With Christ. Members of the public are invited to leave food donations of any size at the Cathedral. The donations will be distributed through a network of FoodBanks run by churches and Christian charities, to people struck by poverty and unable to feed themselves this Christmas. “The Christmas turkey and all those mince pies are a powerful reminder that food is not just sustenance or comfort; it is the great symbol of our commitment to each other,” explains Dean of Bristol, David Hoyle. “When you go short of food you are not just hungry, you are an outsider, because food is for sharing and food is company. This Christmas we need to invite others to eat and share that privilege.” Bishop Mike Hill, who is with David and many from the FoodBank network in Bristol to launch the collection point on Monday 2 December, adds, “Bristol Cathedral has opened its doors to the public so we can all support those in need. In Bristol and our diocese this Christmas, hundreds of people will struggle to provide for their families the Christmas dinner we’ve all come to cherish. “It’s churches and Christian charities that run most FoodBanks in this counry. Because we believe Christmas starts with Christ, we also believe that Christmas starts when we feed the hungry.” Thousands of people pass the Cathedral on College Green everyday on their way to and from work.

Our Values At Prince Alfred College we believe men have unique skills, talents and abilities. We believe it is their differences, not their similarities, which need to be nurtured. We recognise that their traditional roles and responsibilities are changing. As a consequence, they need clarity, flexibility and a clear sense of purpose. Our goal is to nurture and develop boys into Princes Men. Men who know who they are, work hard and value their roles and contributions. But at the same time, to develop men with kindness, who care and support others. Men with a sense of duty, honour and integrity. Men with courage and emotional strength. Men with ambition and a willingness to act and achieve. Men with a good sense of humour, confidence and self- reliance. Men who build strong networks and enduring relationships. Prince Alfred College — the world needs more good men. Our Purpose To uncover, nurture and develop the unique qualities of boys to help them transform into productive, confident and resilient Princes Men.

Those changes have been very well received. The College has had a very good year. Perhaps it was the dismal weather in Trinity Term which encouraged our undergraduates to focus on their examinations, but whatever the reason I am delighted to report that a record number of forty finalists obtained Firsts (a third of the cohort) and there were some exceptional, prize-winning performances in Medicine, Engineering, Law, Computer Science, and Mathematics and Statistics. The research dimension of the College’s life continued to be enhanced by the development of our Advanced Studies Centre which arranged programmes of lectures and seminars in subjects as diverse as the treatment of stroke and neuro-degenerative disease and the interactions between elité culture and fairground puppet theatre in the seventeenth century. If 2011-12 didn’t quite repeat previous successes on field and river, we could be consoled by vicarious triumphs in the context of the Olympics; a Keble Old Member, Niels De Vos (Keble 1986), had an outstanding summer as Chief Executive of UK Athletics and another Old Member, Frank Cottrell-Boyce (Keble 1979), was closely involved in scripting the opening ceremony of the Games.
