Ibowe Beinrose, Ikt., ®.H)., THE PATRON OF DERBYSHIRE LITERATURE, THIS REGISTER OF DERBY SCHOOL IS MOST RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED, AS A SLIGHT ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HIS GENIAL ENCOURAGEMENT AND INVALUABLE ASSISTANCE DURING ITS COMPILATION. ^ PREFACE. ,__ NO work is more suited to perpetuate the fame and traditions of an ancient scliool, and to foster the spirit of brother- hood among the succeeding generations of its alumni, than a Register recording the proud distinctions or the humble achievements of those who have had the honour of belonging to it. To do this, effectually a register ought to be complete in all its parts, from the first clay the school opened its doors ; and it is evident that such a work could only be the result of a continuous purpose, coeval with the school itself. Unfortunately that task has been deferred from century to century, and has become harder in proportion to its long post- ponement. But is this a. reason why it should not at length be attempted? As the usefulness, or, to speak more correctly, the necessity of such an undertaking has in these latter times become more and more apparent at Derby School, and as procrastination only makes matters worse, the editor decided some years ago to face the difficulty and see what could be done.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell. Church of Norway: Diocese of Nidaros/ New see and Trondheim, Presiding Bishop Olav Fykse Tveit, Bishop Herborg Oline Finnset 10/1 Evangelical Lutheran Church in Finland: Diocese of Oulu, Bishop Jukka Keskitalo Church of Norway: Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland (Bodø), Bishop Ann-Helen Fjeldstad Jusnes Church of England: Diocese of Coventry, Bishop Christopher Cocksworth, Bishop John Stroyan.

  • Trinity 5 4Th July OOS VF
    Sunday Worship for 4th July 2021 The Fifth Sunday after Trinity From Holy Trinity Tottenham ‘Homelessness and Rough Sleeping’ WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION Rev Dr ’Bunmi Fagbemi, Vicar of Holy Trinity Tottenham HYMN All my hope on God is founded Choir of Holy Trinity Tottenham All my hope on God is founded; he doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own. Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil he buildeth, tow'r and temple, fall to dust. But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tow’r. Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ the Son. Christ doth call one and all: ye who follow shall not fall. Source: (CAHON 19 – Verses 1,2&4) CCLI - 1218924 The Minister says Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. All And also with you. 1 INVITATION TO CONFESSION The Minister says As children of a loving God, full of everlasting mercy, let us turn to Him to acknowledge our weaknesses, our fears and our imperfections in word and deed. Silence is kept. Your grace is sufficient for us. Lord, have mercy. All Lord, have mercy. Your power is made perfect in our weakness. Christ, have mercy. All Christ, have mercy. Your love is greater than all our fears.

  • The Outrageous Hospitality of God Sabbatical Thoughts 2012­13 the Rev’D Rob Wickham
    The Outrageous Hospitality of God Sabbatical Thoughts 2012­13 The Rev’d Rob Wickham THE OUTRAGEOUS HOSPITALITY OF GOD A theology of our church buildings, and their use in mission. Sabbatical musings by The Rev’d Rob Wickham MA The Rector of Hackney November 2012­ January 2013 1 The Outrageous Hospitality of God Sabbatical Thoughts 2012­13 The Rev’d Rob Wickham The Outrageous Hospitality of God. Setting the Scene I remember very vividly visiting St Albans Abbey in the run up to Christmas in 2010. We were walking through the great nave of this imposing and very beautiful building­ dedicated to the greater glory and steadfastness of God­ majestic and awe inspiring. We took our children, who were then the ages of 6 and 3, as we felt that such a space could speak to them of the impact of God in the midst of a busy pre­Christmas shopping area. We spoke to them about the importance of remaining quiet in this space, and to respect the wider silence and atmosphere of prayer which seemed to exude all around­ an attitude which they respected in the way in which only three and six years olds can. Then to our horror, as we walked slowly down the nave, some middle aged woman in pearls, who was sitting on some makeshift stage prior to beginning a choral rehearsal, turned and very loudly told our children to shush! This was not however the welcome which we expected, and it did make me feel somewhat irritated. It did not reflect something of God’s call of everybody is welcome, and that these buildings might, just might, be about a desire for human flourishing, for He came that we might have life in all its fullness.

  • The Parish of Broughton, Marton and Thornton in the Diocese of Leeds
    The Parish of Broughton, Marton and Thornton in the Diocese of Leeds 1 CONTENTS A new Priest for the Parish of Broughton, Marton and Thornton Bishop of Wakefield Diocese of Leeds Overview What we seek in a Parish Priest About Broughton, Marton and Thornton: Our parish The Rectory Our Three Churches, Broughton, Marton and Thornton-in-Craven Church life: - Worship - Sacraments and funerals - Charitable Giving - Ministry Team - Parish Communications - Financial Overview - Socio-Economics of the Parish - House of Bishops Declaration - Links and Contacts 2 A new priest for the Parish of Broughton, Marton and Thornton We are seeking a Priest for our three Church Parish in North Yorkshire. Although the post comes with only half a stipend it should be borne in mind that Broughton is fortunate enough to have Christ Church as its patron and thus extra funding can be relied upon. What we have to offer though is a chance to live a rewarding family life in the most beautiful environment with opportunity for you and other members of the family to take advantage of other employment opportunities in the area. Our Parish is a member of the Society under the Patronage of St Wilfred and St Hilda. Having said that we would also be willing to consider a Priest who would be willing to become a member of the Society or even one who was in sympathy with its aims. Previous experience is not essential and our spiritual needs and the description of your pastoral duties and opportunities are dealt with elsewhere but we would stress that all our three Churches have no financial worries and our previous Rector was here for 18 happy and fulfilling years.
