  • Friday Round up – 31St July (PDF)
    This email has been sent to all Clergy, PTOs, Churchwardens, Secretaries, and all those on our Friday email list. Please Note The Friday Round Up will be taking a break over August. We will send out any important updates as they come in and this email will return in September. As always you can contact the office by emailing [email protected] or calling 07508 801511. Dear Friends, Out and About It was good to be able to get out of Newport to license two parish priests this week. Although the congregation numbers were necessarily limited and no opportunity for a celebration party afterwards, there was nevertheless a real sense of welcome to Chris Walters in Blaenavon and to Dan Frett in Caldicot. Please hold them and their respective churches in your prayers. My sermon was based on Matthew 5: 14-16 on both occasions and can be found here if you would like to read it. Transforming the unjust structures of our society Last week, I referred to the ways in which churches can become more environmentally friendly; taking seriously the 5th mark of mission, one of three themes that I am urging us to focus on in the next 12 months particularly. Another theme is that of poverty and injustice; how we respond to the needs of those in our communities and how we can work to transform the structures of our society such that our world becomes fairer and more equitable. As a church, we have a good track record or meeting human need. The number of churches either running or helping out in foodbanks is just one example of this.

  • Bishop of Gloucester, Rachel Treweek
    General Synod Safeguarding presentation from Bishop of Gloucester, Rachel Treweek, February 2018 I’m aware that when we talk about safeguarding it engages our hearts, our minds and our guts, and depending on our own experiences, our antennae will be set at different angles. So I hope that in our time of questions there will be opportunity for people to clarify what they’ve heard. I have been asked to say something brief about the Diocese of Gloucester and I look forward to contributing more in response to questions. It was not long after I arrived in Gloucester that Peter Ball, a previous Bishop of Gloucester was finally convicted of horrific abuse - You have the Gibb report (GS Misc. 1172). As I have previously said publicly, I am deeply ashamed of that legacy and deeply sorry; just as I am deeply ashamed and sorry about the abuse people have suffered across the Church which has so often been compounded by wholly inadequate response and a lack of compassion and understanding… .. I do believe that in the present I have the privilege of working with a committed and professional team in Gloucester. And that is not intended to sound defensive. The starting place is the big picture of the good news of the Kingdom of God and the truth that every person is a unique individual with a name, made in the image of God. Transformation, flourishing and reconciliation is at the heart of who God is. Yet we live amid prolific broken relationship including abuse of children and adults, neglect, misused power..

By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you...(1 Peter 1:1-4) Happy Eastertide. I hope that as you read this you have had or are planning some days of rest and holiday. Thank you once again for the mission and ministry you live, enable and support. It was wonderful to see so many of you at the Maundy Thursday Eucharist in the Cathedral and I continue to be hugely encouraged by what I see and hear whilst also being aware of the many different pressures experienced by clergy and the effect this can have on spouses, partners, friends and families. There has been much in the national and church press about clergy well-being and it seems appropriate to write to you in this season of new life regarding what is expected and encouraged in this diocese regarding ‘time off’ and frameworks of support. This information has been updated in the clergy handbook on our website, and will be in each new Statements of Particulars we issue from 1 April. SoPs of course provide the legal framework, but we all recognise that different weeks and months throughout the year will have varying pressures.

  • The Rt Revd Rachel Treweek
    The Rt Revd Rachel Treweek Our ref: DB/10/20 Bishop of Gloucester The Bishops’ Office 13 October 2020 2 College Green, Gloucester, GL1 2LR [email protected] Tel: 01452 835511 Dear Sisters and Brothers Last week the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, IICSA, published its overarching investigation report into the Anglican Church in England and Wales, highlighting the failures of the Church of England regarding child sexual abuse. It is not comfortable reading, and neither should it be. This report brings together in one place the shocking failures of the Church, not least in often being more concerned with protecting reputation than focusing on the care of victims and survivors of abuse and responding with compassion. In many ways the sickening findings of this report come as no surprise given the content of the 2017 Gibb report investigating the Church’s response to Peter Ball’s abuse, followed in 2019 by the IICSA report on Peter Ball. I spoke out with lament and shame following these publications and now this final IICSA report highlights our failure as a Church to respond swiftly to some of the key recommendations made, which have been repeatedly voiced by victims and survivors of abuse. Listening, admittance of failure and expression of shock and sorrow are important but they are not enough. Action is required. Therefore, while I am glad that the report acknowledges significant changes which have been made over the years, it also shines a bright light on the systemic failures of governance structures and decision-making. This has undoubtedly hindered the much-needed action being taken swiftly at national level, including a process of satisfactory redress for victims and survivors of abuse, and the need for independence to be appropriately present in policies and procedures.

  • The Bishop of Gloucester, Rachel Treweek, Was Commissioned As Bishop for Prisons, with Revd Helen Dearnley Licensed As Deputy Chaplain
    The Bishop for Prisons and Deputy Chaplain General have been formally commissioned in a service led by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Bishop of Gloucester, Rachel Treweek, was commissioned as Bishop for Prisons, with Revd Helen Dearnley licensed as Deputy Chaplain General of Prisons. The commissioning took place during a service of evening prayer conducted from Lambeth Palace crypt chapel. The service, with participants tuning in via Zoom, heard prayers for Bishop Rachel and Revd Helen read by the Archbishops of Canterbury, York and Wales. Revd Helen, who is Anglican Chaplaincy Adviser for HM Prison and Probation Service. said: “My role is to equip and support all Anglican Prison Chaplains, to pray for all those who work and live in prison, to support the Through the Gate provision for those released from custody and to be a link between the Church of England, Church in Wales and HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS). “It is a real privilege and joy to have the Anglican Churches’ endorsement of the ministry I share with all Anglican Prison Chaplains across England and Wales. Bishop Rachel has campaigned on criminal justice issues, including domestic violence, sentencing reform and the treatment of women in the justice system. In recent years, she has worked with the her predecessor, Bishop James Langstaff, as Bishop for the women’s prison estate. Bishop Rachel said: “I would like to pay tribute to Bishop James, not only for his advocacy and detailed knowledge of criminal justice policy but for his steadfast support and care for chaplains and charities working in the service.

This is an exciting time to be joining the Diocese of Gloucester where we are in the early stages of implementing our new ‘LIFE’ vision process, focused around Jesus’ offer of life to the full in John 10:10. http://www.gloucester.anglican.org/about-us/our-vision/. It is expected that the new Rector will enable the church communities to fully engage with the diocesan vision and in so doing will grow in their own experience of this ‘life to the full’ . The accompanying document gives a little more detail about how this vision translates into the culture and values I am seeking to see grow amongst all those licensed to minister across the Diocese. The Benefice of St Mary with St Matthew and St Luke is relatively young in its formation and this will be the first appointment of a Rector of the united benefice, which is at a crucial stage in its story. It has seen a fair degree of change in recent years and, as you will note from the profile, has had to navigate a number of challenges. Amongst these, St Matthew’s has, for a number of reasons, seen a drop in the number of younger families attending over the past 5 years or so, a trend that many members feel acutely and long to see reversed.

    The Rt Revd Rachel Treweek Our ref: DB/01/20 Bishop of Gloucester The Bishops’ Office January 2020 2 College Green, Gloucester, GL1 2LR [email protected] Tel: 01452 835511 Dear Candidate Priest in Charge of the ‘Northleach Benefice’ Thank you for making enquiries about this vacancy – I hope you find the enclosed documents helpful in considering your application. There is much to celebrate and much potential in these rural parishes, set in a popular and attractive part of the Cotswolds. The benefice is generally in good heart with some solid foundations to build upon, not least in the two church schools. The congregations are committed and supportive, whilst also being very aware of the significant challenges of rural ministry in a large multi-parish benefice. The parishes are looking for someone who will enjoy and immerse themselves in village life, supporting the worshipping communities in their mission throughout the week. As well as being deeply rooted in their own village settings, there is a growing recognition within the parishes of the need to act collaboratively across the benefice and I am encouraged by the emphasis in the profile on growing in cohesion and unity. The next Priest in Charge will have my support – and that of the Diocesan support team – in rising to this challenge as we seek to live out our LIFE vision which includes the commitment to ‘pilot liberating models of leadership and ministry, especially in multi- parish benefices’. The successful candidate will be supported by an enthusiastic ministry team which includes an active retired bishop, the Rt Revd David Jennings who lives in Northleach and has, at my invitation, been supporting the benefice through the vacancy.
