The days of ‘one man bands’ is over. Increasingly, ministry is collabora�ve with clergy and laity forging crea�ve partnerships in our service of Christ. Ministry today blends the pastoral and the missional in new and exci�ng ways. It is demanding, peppered with unexpected challenges, but life-giving. It is a privilege to live in this beau�ful county and to be called by God to share the Gospel with the people of Devon. Our vision as a Diocese is to ‘Grow in Prayer, to Make New Disciples, and to Serve the People of Devon with Joy’. I hope that you will allow it to shape your priori�es in ministry as you reach out to your local community in the name of Jesus Christ. In February 2020, the General Synod approved a Covenant for Clergy Care and Wellbeing, which states that: “In its formularies, the Church of England recognises that God calls men and women to serve as deacons, priests and bishops to build up and equip the whole People of God. Conscious that such a calling is both a privilege and a demand, we as the Church of England commit together to promote the welfare of our clergy and their households in terms expressed in the Covenant for Clergy Care and Wellbeing. We undertake to work together to seek to coordinate and improve our approach to clergy care and wellbeing that ordained ministers flourish in their service of the mission of God within and beyond the Church. “ As a Diocese, we embrace this Covenant for Wellbeing wholeheartedly. As part of our commitment, we set out in this handbook as clearly as possible the terms and condi�ons of service that will enable you to be effec�ve in your ministry. We have gathered into one place important policy statements, signpos�ng you to more detailed guidance and informa�on as and when you need it. I am grateful to all who have contributed to this handbook and commend it to you. I hope that it will be a valuable resource. With my thanks for our partnership in the Gospel, + Robert Exon The Right Reverend Robert Atwell Bishop of Exeter September 2020 3 Introduc�on This Clergy Handbook summarises the terms and condi�ons of your service as an office holder in the Diocese of Exeter. It amplifies the Statement of Par�culars which, under the Ecclesias�cal Offices (Terms of Service) Regula�ons 2009, the majority of beneficed and licensed clergy, and some lay ministers, are en�tled to receive. It forms part of the legal framework for ministry in the Church of England known as Common Tenure. This Handbook should be read in conjunc�on with the latest Bishop’s Guidelines for Ordained Ministry: June 20201. The Guidelines dis�l good prac�ce and endeavour to help clergy understand beter their obliga�ons and responsibili�es as office holders. Some of the content is drawn from Canon Law and Measures and Acts of Parliament. The Guidelines may also be helpful to those clergy and laity who are not subject to the terms and condi�ons of Common Tenure as set out in this Handbook. Taken together, these three documents cons�tute the legal framework for your service as an office holder in the diocese. They are set within the broader context of the na�onal Guidelines for the Professional Conduct of the Clergy2 and the Five Guiding Principles3 commended by the House of Bishops, which all clergy are expected to adhere to and to work in ways that are consistent with it. The terms and condi�ons of service summarised in this Handbook apply to all parochial office holders in the diocese unless stated otherwise. Excep�ons may apply in some cases; for example, to clergy who are Self Suppor�ng Ministers, who hold a freehold office, or whose appointment has been extended beyond the age of 70. Where there is an excep�on to a specific term or condi�on this will be indicated in the text. Some clergy in the diocese do not hold a parochial office, but instead are employed by the Exeter Diocesan Board of Finance (EDBF) or operate in a chaplaincy or advisory capacity under another organisa�on. For clergy who are employed by EDBF, there is an Employee Handbook which sets out their terms and condi�ons of employment. This is a useful resource and reference guide for everyone who is employed to carry out du�es on behalf of EDBF and provides informa�on on employee working condi�ons, employment benefits and the policies affec�ng their employment. As a significant number of clergy serve under a contract of employment with the EDBF. Where the terms and condi�ons set out in the current EDBF Employee Handbook are more generous than the provision of the previous (2018) edi�on of this Clergy Handbook, the diocesan provision for parochial office holders has been extended to give parity between office holders and EDBF employees, except where differences are unavoidable due to the legal requirements of Common Tenure. Clergy employed as chaplains or advisers will have similar rights and responsibili�es conferred within their employment contracts, which will provide for relevant maters including line management, appraisal, �me off work, etc. September 2020 4 Clergy who exercise ordained ministry in pursuance of a contract of employment will usually hold the Bishop’s general License under Seal. Such clergy are subject to the terms and condi�ons set out in their contract of employment rather than the provisions of Common Tenure. However they are invited and encouraged to par�cipate in Ministry Development Review (MDR) and Con�nuing Ministry Development (CMD) as appropriate to their circumstances. Where clergy are employed by EDBF or another employer and, at the same �me, hold the Bishop’s License to a specific parochial office (for example, as an Associate Minister in a benefice), they are subject to the provisions of their contract in respect of their employment and to the provisions of Common Tenure in respect of their parish ministry. All Church of England clergy, whether or not they hold the Bishop’s authorisa�on to minister in any form, remain subject to the Clergy Discipline Measure. In order to keep this Handbook to a manageable length, the terms and condi�ons have been summarised and are supported with signposts to where further informa�on can be found online. This is par�cularly so for the sec�ons rela�ng to Performance and Capability (Sec�on 13) and Grievances (Sec�on 14).

  • Church Crawling
    Church Crawling with Barbara Pym ‘Her books are indubitably “churchy”, partly in the sense that church-going frequently occurs and clergymen are among her best characters, and partly from the tacit and unproselytizing assumption that the world divides into those who do and those who do not attend their parish church. The ethos is always decently Anglican, but this too is taken for granted and no hint of doctrinal or emotional problems is intruded upon the reader. Religion, for Miss Pym’s characters, involves no anguish of conscience (“social” or personal), no dark night of the soul, but decisions about what vestments should be worn on Mid-Lent Sunday, what shall be served for luncheon on Fridays in the clergy-house, who is to query that enigmatic entry in the Church accounts, and “that rather delicate affair of the altar brasses and the unpleasantness between Miss Jenner and Miss Beard”. … Her treatment of religion suggests, in fact, a rather unusually strong, though reserved, religious sense. (Robert Smith, ‘How Pleasant to Know Miss Pym’, Ariel, Vol. 2 No. 4, October 1971, p. 66; quotation from Some Tame Gazelle) ‘Barbara was brought up and remained throughout her life a member of the Church of England, and to her all its churches were places of devotion and interest. When after War service and her mother’s death she came to live with her sister in London, and “already well into churchgoing” as her sister has written, she became a regular worshipper at St Gabriel’s Church, Warwick Square, Pimlico. … ‘About this time [ca.

Over recent years the Diocese, especially through its charges and people, has made progress in working in partnership with others, in its development of being church for the North East and in its approach to specialist and newer forms of both mission and ministry. We believe that this provides a springboard for real developments for Christianity in the North East under the leadership of a new Bishop.

URL of article: http://www.nebraskahistory.org/publish/publicat/history/full-text/NH1980/EpiscopalMission.pdf Date: 3/25/2014 Article Summary: Against the background of boom and bust in frontier Nebraska, the Episcopal Church was no more stable. The Diocese of Nebraska was established in 1868 under the leadership of Bishop Robert H Clarkson. Much of the initial work to establish the denomination in Nebraska failed and a new start had to be made in the 1880s. One of its undertakings was an “Associate Mission” in Omaha between 1888 and 1902. This article describes the history of this mission and evaluates its effectiveness. The purpose of this associate mission was to secure young unmarried priests who would pledge themselves to missionary work for a given time under the guidance and direction of the bishop.

  • Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the Diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902
    Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican clergy in the Diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902 The ‘Reformed Catholic Church of Hawai’i’ began with the consecration of the first bishop of Honolulu, Thomas Nettleship STALEY in 1861. In 1872 the diocese became the Anglican church of Hawai’i, under his successor Alfred WILLIS the second bishop of Honolulu. On WILLIS’s resignation in 1902, the see became a missionary district within the Episcopal Church of the United States of America, and in 1969 the diocese of Hawai'i. This biographical directory lists over 50 clergy who passed through Honolulu in the first forty years of Anglican church life. Few priests were in the diocese of Honolulu more than a year or two. Many biographies reveal visionary hopes and bitter disappointments. Several lives are shadowy to the point of invisibility. At the end of the sections in the biographies, bracketed numbers indicate the sources of preceding information. The Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the South Pacific (which includes some 1,650 priests) may be found on the Kinder library website, in Auckland New Zealand. These bracketed numbers are there given bibliographical substance in a document accompanying the biographical directory. The compiler points out that this directory has been researched and compiled without funding. I am very grateful to the hundreds of correspondents and agencies who have voluntarily assisted me on this work since the early 1990s. The compiler welcomes corrections and additions sent to [email protected]. Such will be incorporated in the master-copy held in Wellington New Zealand, and in due course in the online version of this directory with Project Canterbury.

    263 Re-armed" he pointed to an urgent task - this was in 1950 - which was the prevention of any conniving at a continuation of German militarism. "It is not dead : it'will take a generation to get it out of the blood. Until then it is dangerous policy to encourage a revival of militarism in a people who have proved themselves more aggressive and vastly more efficient than Russia or any other European people". (4) In the same year Hunter referred to an over-riding political issue by quoting Archbishop C. F. Garbett, his much-esteemed metropolitan, 'Our party politics are the games of children playing on the sands compared with the... necessity of finding some agreement by which this ghastly threat to the human race (sc. the hydrogen bomb) can be removed. ' This can only be done, Hunter commented, "by an effective, realistic attempt once again to reach agreement with Russia". (5) He did not venture on any political theorising as to how agreement might be forthcoming. He could console himself with the thought that this was the -ý ölitician's task into which sphere the layman should not enter. Ten years later in the House of Lords Hunter spoke cogently in the_. debate on Disarmament and indicated underlying human factors which politicians ought to keep in mind. He supported the Archbishop of York (A. M. Ramsey) who had intervened earlier to say that "the right moral demand is... for disarmament by agreement" (6) and had listened to Viscount Alexander of Hillsborough's patriotic statement "I will never submit to my country being put into the unilateral position of being the only main Power that provides 264 no defence for the rights of its citizens".

    RELIGIOUS HISTORY There was already a church by the early 12th century, which was named after the Virgin Mary in 1220,308 and dedicated to her Assumption by 1408.309 The church was held as a prebend in the Collegiate Church of Heytesbury, and the living was served by a perpetual curate. The parish came under the jurisdiction of Wylye deanery until 1872, and Heytesbury rural deanery to 1896.310 In that year, Hill Deverill was absorbed into the new ecclesiastical parish of Longbridge Deverill with Crockerton and Hill Deverill,311 and was later part of the parish of the Deverills created in 1972.312 The tithing of Baycliffe once supported a chapel with its tithes, although knowledge of the site was lost by 1824, when Baycliffe and Little Horningsham in Maiden Bradley parish formed one tithing.313 Baycliffe became part of Horningsham parish in 1884.314 Advowson The church was presumably founded by the Giffard family, who held the advowson in the time of Bishop Roger (1107–39), when it was given by one Elias Giffard to the church at Heytesbury.315 Following the foundation of Heytesbury as a Collegiate Church c. 1150–60,316 the church at Hill Deverill was granted to one of its four newly- created canons.317 These prebendaries were appointed by the Dean of Heytesbury, from 1220 generally the Dean of Salisbury, until prebends were abolished by the Cathedrals Act of 1840.318 The right of patronage was then transferred from the dean 308 Hoare, Mod.
