By the time you read this we will have welcomed many people, from across the diocese, to the Saints in Every Generation event in the Cathedral. Two quite different occasions, but both a sign of our commitment to each other as members together of the family of God here in greater Lincolnshire. As you know, as a diocese we have committed ourselves to being faithful in worship, confident in discipleship and joyful in service. This year has seen the launch of our discipleship programme, aimed at helping all of us to think and pray about the particular and distinct contribution we can make to the life of the world and in response to God’s call. One of the highlights of Saints in Every Generation was the opportunity for everyone present to pledge to do one thing, however large or small, which would take them further on their journey towards confident discipleship. I would like to thank everyone who attended and assure you that I will read each of the pledges you so faithfully gave. This time of year is often associated with new beginnings, and that is certainly the case in the life of the diocese this year. I am delighted that we will soon be welcoming the Reverend Mark Steadman as the next Archdeacon of Stow and Lindsey. Mark will be installed at evensong in the Cathedral on 10th October. All are most welcome to attend. If you would like to do so, please let the precentor’s office know so that everyone can be welcomed and accommodated (01522 561632). Later in the year, we will welcome the Reverend Dr Nicholas Chamberlain among us as suffragan bishop of Grantham. I’ve written elsewhere of my belief that Dr Chamberlain brings fabulous gifts, a truly pastoral heart, a profound faith and indefatigable dedication to the mission and purpose of the Church. I am gratified that we have been able to attract a priest of his calibre to be bishop of Grantham, and I ask you to hold him in your prayers as he prepares for his ordination to the episcopate on 19 November. Alongside this, there is also a significant farewell to be said as Tim Barker prepares to leave the diocese after 17 years of faithful service as parish priest and then archdeacon. As Tim moves to his new post of Dean of Guernsey and Rector of St André de la Pommaraye later in the autumn, he and Judy will go with our love blessings and a huge debt of gratitude for all that they have given to the diocese. With every good wish, +Christopher Lincoln: 3 Archdeacon Tim Barker’s Visitation to Bolingbroke Deanery It was good to welcome Archdeacon Tim to all of our Churches at the end of August and the beginning of September (with the exception of one, but he will get round to that before he leaves [see Bishop Christopher’s letter]). It is one of the traditional duties of an Archdeacon to check if everything in a Parish Church is running as it should, but more often than not it has been observed in the breach or the task has been delegated to the Rural Dean. I have done several groups in the past and really enjoyed seeing what happens with care, dedication and much love in our amazing parish Churches. I know Tim really enjoyed his visitation and felt it brought so much of our shared ministry alive. This reinvigorated Visitation Scheme is so much more than checking the silver etc. (I know Tim particularly enjoyed some of the very special communion plate we still use in our worship) because it is shared with the Bishops in a four year cycle to make sure that we all make connection and better share the work we are doing. Because we have had the Archdeacon first we can expect a visit from the Bishop in two years’ time and his visit will be primarily to those in leadership ministry but at the same time will want to check out with parishioners how well the clergy and others are serving them. As part of that process there will be a Ministry Development Review for each Incumbent lead by a member of the Bishop’s Staff one year and the next year the Rural Dean will informally make sure agreed objectives are reasonable and helpful. Other members of the Ministry Team will go through a similar process but with other reviewers taking the lead. It was a good start to the process and I look forward to Archdeacon Tim’s report when he has time to write it! The report will be a useful tool to help us simplify and hone the work we do in our Churches as will the other aspects of the process to gain a fresh insight to the work we share. So the whole process is not so much a visitation but a renewal of our understanding of what it means to be part of a shared ministry, “both yours and mine”. I personally wish Tim & Judy every blessing in Guernsey, I will miss his support and pray for the appointment of a new Archdeacon as soon as possible. I am not sure what the interim arrangements are but no doubt we will be supported by Justine, the Archdeacon of Boston and Mark Steadman the new Archdeacon of Stow and Lindsey.

But by the tender age of 28 he had experienced more than many of us see in the whole of our lives. He was born during the First World War at Lansdowne, Spilsby Road, Horncastle, the fourth child of six and the eldest son. His father was an auctioneer and land agent and came from a family of factors or land agents who had started in Perthshire. His great grandfather, George Bell, had secured the post of resident land agent on the Revesby Estate in 1842 bringing his family to Lincolnshire. His quick open mind fostered an interest in a wide variety of subjects including, centrally, agriculture. It was his perseverance that kept Horncastle cattle market going (perhaps beyond its natural life).

  • Resourcing Sustainable Church: a Time to Change - Together
    RESOURCING SUSTAINABLE CHURCH: A TIME TO CHANGE - TOGETHER Transforming lives in Greater Lincolnshire 1 Foreword from The Bishop of Lincoln Returning to Lincoln after almost two years’ absence gives me the opportunity to see and evaluate the progress that has been made to address the issues we face as a diocese. Many of the possibilities that are placed before you in this report were already under discussion in 2019. What this report, and the work that lies behind it, does is to put flesh on the bones. It gives us a diocese the opportunity to own up to and address the issues we face at this time. I am happy strongly to recommend this report. It comes with my full support and gratitude to those who have contributed so far. What it shows is that everything is possible if we trust in God and each other. Of course, this is only a first step in a process of development and change. Much as some of us, including me at times, might like to look back nostalgically to the past – the good news is that God is calling us into something new and exciting. What lies ahead will not be easy – as some hard decisions will need to be taken. But my advice is that there will never be a better opportunity to work together to uncover and build the Kingdom of God in Greater Lincolnshire. I urge the people of God in this diocese to join us on this journey. +Christopher Lincoln: Bishop of Lincoln 2 Introduction Resourcing Sustainable Church: A Time to Change - Together sets a vision for a transformed church.

  • 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.

  • From the Vicar
    From the Vicar It is amazing how the seasons can change at the drop of a hat: one minute we are enjoying the remnants of summer, and then suddenly overnight there is a chill in the air, the car has to be wiped down for condensation in the mornings (for those of us without space in the garage, anyway!) and the first leaves are turning on the trees. Autumn and harvest have arrived. Never having experienced harvest out in the fens before, I am unsure of what to expect. All may be safely gathered in, but does that mean the endless fields will soon be brown, the sky a sullen grey and that mists will descend and remain here until the next equinox? I hope not! As I know from my first ever visit to Deeping last November, the landscape can seem pretty alien, especially after the cosy villages of the Wreake valley. But harvest is actually not so much about an ending of a season as about a turning point. This is the time when there is a slight lull, after the hard work of harvesting. The lull gives us a moment to give thanks for all the blessings we have received throughout the season, maybe throughout the whole year. To look with satisfaction on what has been achieved. And at this point we take a deep breath, let go of the old and prepare to embrace new growth. That is true both of agricultural workers and of the Church. Much has indeed been achieved through God’s grace and the sheer hard work of his labourers.

  • Bishop's July 2020 Letter
    The Bishops’ Office July 2020 Dear school communities, While it is not possible to ask each of you how you are, please know that we have prayed for our school communities, both pupils and teachers during this unusual and hard time. Our prayers have been for those in a classroom and also at home. In the past few months we have all had some questions and concerns - it is important that we always share these with others. Thankfully, we have also had people to keep us safe, people to care for us. We have seen that care can happen in many ways. Our message to you is about this word. Care is a word with four letters, so it is a small word but we need to remember that it has a big effect on people and can leave them smiling. As each of us cares for others we can show God's love. At first in lockdown a sign of caring was a rainbow often in a house window or a cuddly toy. Now, we may be able to show we care to more people. That may happen in our bubble of people or with a wave and a smile or helping someone with something bigger. To care is something we can all do in small ways. No matter how small when we care we are showing something that is big. We are showing God's love for each of us. A good example of caring are your teachers and school staff. They have cared for you and others throughout the lockdown.
