  • “We Exist to Receive and Share the Love of God”
    “We exist to receive and share the love of God” Thank you to everyone for your support and prayers as I continue on this physical journey of 309 miles and we spiritually journey together in prayer to Lindisfarne. I have been very grateful for the prayerful support of those whose holy sites I have visited this week. At the end of last week I had physically walked to and prayed around Lees New Road, Alt Hill Lane and the Oldham to Ashton Greenway cycle path, the Ashton to Oldham Greenway Cycle Path to Alexandra Park and back, Knot Hill Reservoir, Hollingworth Lake and Hurst Cemetery. I walked a total of 26.73 miles bringing the total walked to 247.79 miles. I started last week spiritually walking towards St Peter’s Monkwearmouth, after arriving there I went on to arrive at St Paul’s Jarrow and then Newcastle Cathedral, and began the journey to St Cuthbert’s Bedlington which was 4.31 miles away. This week I have physically walked and prayed along High Crompton, Burnedge, Milnrow, Newhey and Shaw, Hurst Cemetery (twice), Dove Stones Reservoir on an imaginative journey around Lake Galilee with Revd’s Penny and David Warner of Stalybridge and Mossley, and again on another occasion simply walking and praying on my own and a blustery walk around Hollingworth Lake. As the new week begins…I spiritually reach St Cuthbert’s Bedlington and begin the spiritual journey to Alnmouth Friary 2.87 miles away. I hope that you will continue to walk with me on this spiritual pilgrimage and that you will make use of this booklet in your prayer over the coming week.

  • The Ordination of Deacons
    The Ordination of Deacons The Bishop of Manchester Manchester Cathedral The Bishop of Bolton Bolton Parish Church The Bishop of Middleton Oldham Parish Church Wednesday 23 September 2020 Welcome to Manchester Cathedral Ordinations during the pandemic Ordinations are times of great joy, not only for those being ordained, but for the whole Church giving thanks to God for the ministers he has called. That joy is undiminished this year, but sadly cannot be shared by a large congregation. Government regulations, rightly concerned to protect everyone’s health, limit attendance to 30. Those present at the service are therefore representative of many others who are today praying God’s blessing upon those made deacon, and who look forward with expectation to their new ministries. It is not only numbers which are limited in order for today’s service to be “covid secure”. For instance, there can be no singing. Those attending are also required to observe the following: • face masks are to be worn at all times (except when receiving Communion); • hand sanitiser is made available to be used on arrival and departure; • the congregation must remain seated in their allocated places; • all direct interaction is to be avoided with those not in your household or bubble, maintaining a two-metre distance; • Communion will be distributed in one kind (i.e. bread alone): hand sanitiser will be available, and must be used should there be accidental contact with the hand of the administer of Communion • the congregation should leave directly after the service, maintaining a two-metre distance and without interacting with others inside or outside, taking this order of service with them.

  • 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.

  • Urban Estates Evangelism Conference – 9-10Th October 2017
    Urban Estates Evangelism Conference – 9-10th October 2017 Theological Reflection – led by Rev Dr Jill Duff – Estates and the Gospel FULL VERSION My heart leapt when Bishop Philip invited me to give this theological reflection Pretty much all 15 years of my ordained ministry has been spent in urban deprivation areas of Liverpool Diocese. What I am to say is formed by countless friends who live in urban areas in the North West. One friend in particular has personally contributed – you’ll meet her shortly. For my day job, I’m Director of St Mellitus College North West, based at Liverpool Cathedral – where I teach New Testament, mission and church planting. We are the first Full Time ordination college in the North West for over 40 years and we are trying to build on the heritage (or re-open the wells) of St Aidan’s College in Birkenhead. This College closed in 1969. When they opened in 1846 they were ahead of their time – these were the days when you either trained for ordination at Oxford, Cambridge or St Aidan’s. They had the vision of training the ordinary man for ordination in the C of E – dockers, labourers, postmen. You still see this in the St Aidan’s old boys today. It was also an earlier version of context-based training. The Vicar who founded it, Joseph Bayliss, saw the growing need for the gospel across the water in the burgeoning city of Liverpool, so ordinands would spend their afternoons at the coal- face of ministry with the poor in the slums.
