New members are most welcome to complete a form to add their names to the roll. Electoral Roll revision must be complete by next Sunday 24 March to enable those on the roll to vote at the Annual Parochial Meeting on 21 April. The new roll will be published on 7 April. Further details from Electoral Roll Officer, Irenna Howell. 2013 PAROCHIAL ELECTIONS: Notices are now on display for this year’s elections at the Annual Vestry and Annual Parochial Meetings on Sunday 21 April at 12.15 pm. At the Annual Vestry Meeting, we elect two Parish Wardens and, this year, we are inviting prospective candidates to write a short paper in support of their candidature. At the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, we elect members of the Parochial Church Council (12 in total in addition to the 2 Parish Wardens and 3 members of the Deanery Synod who are elected every three years). As this is a transitional year for our Parish, we are to elect 12 PCC members this time, 4 to stand for 3 years, 4 to stand for 2 years, 4 to stand for one year. In future we will be electing 4 members of the PCC who will stand for 3 years. The PCC have required that two of its members should be people who regard St. Mary’s or Holy Trinity as their principal place of worship. At the APCM, we also elect the bench of 8 Deputy Wardens who hold in Canon Law the historic role of Sidespeople but, at the Minster, do have the key additional duties of providing a leading role in arrangements for public events and also in enabling the Minster to remain open for guests and visitors. The Parish Wardens and Deputy Wardens are assisted in these important roles by Stewards appointed by personal invitation of the Rector after consultation with the Wardens. FROM EASTERN EUROPE: Friday Recitals on the first four Fridays in March (1, 8, 15 and 22) are by Dr Christopher Newton at 12.30 pm each week and focus on music by Eastern European composers. The Recital on Good Friday is of seasonal organ music and will be given by Simon Lindley. PASSOVER SUPPER IN HOLY WEEK: This year is on Wednesday 27 March at 6.30 pm at Oxford Place Methodist Mission. Tickets are £5, available from the Clergy or Head Verger. After costs, a donation will be made to the Leeds East Food Bank. CONFIRMATION PREPARATION: Our Parish Confirmation service this year is on Sunday, 23 June at 10.30 a.m. For those interested in preparing for confirmation, there is an enquirers’ session at the Minster on Saturday, 13 April at 11 am. WEEKLY FREE-WILL OFFERING BOXES: for the coming year are now available in Church form the North Aisle. If you would like to join the free will offering scheme, or to make regular donations by standing order, or to find out more about stewardship and gift aid, please speak to our stewardship officer, Hazel Ward.

  • 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). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).

  • Here Is Characteristically Anglican Liberty Which Encourages Members „To Develop Their Personal Gifts and Thus to Enrich the Offering Laid at the Feet of Christ‟
    THE ORATORY OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD The First Seventy Five Years by GEORGE TIBBATTS,* OGS {* spelling corrected} - 2 - {iv} Copyright © Almoner, Oratory of the Good Shepherd 1988 Published by The Almoner, OGS, 56 Buckland Crescent. Windsor, Berks. Printed by Dramrite Printers Ltd, Southwark, London SE1 ISBN No. 1 871161 00 2 In this digital copy the start of each page of the book and other editorial notes are shown by e.g. {10}. - 3 - {v} FOREWORD This history appears as the Oratory celebrates the seventy fifth anniversary of its foundation in Cambridge in 1913. Canon Tibbatts, who has served both as Secretary-General and Superior, is uniquely qualified to tell the story. His association with the Oratory began in his undergraduate days at Kings in the l920ies. He knew personally the founding fathers and enjoyed their friendship. In the years preceding the first world war three young clerical dons (John How, Eric Milner-White and Edward Wynn) sought to establish a society for celibate priests, bound by a common rule of life, marked by Catholic discipline of prayer and devotion, and characterised by the importance attached to regular and systematic study in the life of a priest Their inspiration was drawn from the Catholic revival of the previous century, and they were concerned to make a distinctive witness in the religious life of the University. The ethos of the Oratory was, and has continued to be essentially Anglican in its Catholic form. The devotion to Our Lord as the Good Shepherd, the adoption of Nicholas Ferrar of Little Gidding as patron, testify to the pastoral ideal and English temper of the Oratory.

  • Spiritual Warfare” in the Anglican Charismatic Renewal
    The Church Militant: A Study of “Spiritual Warfare” in the Anglican Charismatic Renewal by GRAHAM RUSSELL SMITH A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR of PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham July 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

ABSTRACT This thesis uses a practical-theological methodology to explore the theology and spirituality of „spiritual warfare‟ that developed in the charismatic renewal from the 1960s. Beginning with a study of twelve charismatic Anglican pioneers, a detailed case study then explores spiritual warfare praxis in a charismatic Anglican congregation. The ensuing theological reflection focuses on the ontology of evil, through dialogue with Nigel Wright, Amos Yong, and Gregory Boyd, as well as Karl Barth and Walter Wink. The thesis argues for a positive ontology for evil powers, based on a charismatic hermeneutic of biblical texts; on the grounds that Jesus treated Satan and demons as real spiritual entities, the Pauline epistles refer to real evil spiritual powers in the heavenly realms, and charismatic experience supports this ontology.

  • 1 Communion and Autonomy in Anglicanism
    COMMUNION AND AUTONOMY IN ANGLICANISM: NATURE AND MAINTENANCE Norman Doe A Paper for the Eames Commission1 1. This paper explores the nature of and relationship between communion and autonomy, namely: (a) global theological and conventional understandings about communion and autonomy in the worldwide Anglican Communion, as expressed in the decisions of the institutional instruments of Anglican unity;2 and in public responses3 to events in ECUSA and Canada;4 (b) the canonical treatment of communion and autonomy in the laws of the individual Anglican churches, in the context of the principles of canon law common to the churches of the Communion; (c) where appropriate, the understanding of communion and autonomy in ecumenical dialogue between Anglicans and others, and in other Christian traditions themselves. One aim of the study is to identify a fundamental dissonance between theological and canonical understandings of worldwide communion and provincial autonomy; that is, how the disciplines of communion and autonomy at the global level have not been translated into the discipline of each Anglican church or province, and how this has contributed to current conflict.5 2. The paper suggests some ideas, which might be considered for possible incorporation into the domestic discipline of individual churches, for the maintenance and management of both communion and autonomy, the prevention of conflict, the resolution of conflict and the management of continuing conflict, and the monitoring of schemes for these. It is necessary for each church:
