  • 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 the Bishop’s Council we started the year with a submission to the Dioceses Commission which required us to demonstrate the need for the first suffragan bishop for the Diocese of Newcastle. After the Commission’s meeting held in March I was pleased to share the news that we had received permission to revive the See of Berwick, which had been in abeyance since 1572.

  • 0425 Easter 4 8Am 2021 – ANZAC
    BCP Eucharist The Fourth Sunday of Easter – ANZAC Day 8:00am 25 April 2021 Welcome: “This is my commandment, that Celebrant you love one another as I have loved you. The Rev’d Adrian Stephens No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Preacher – John 15:12-13 The Right Rev’d Denise Ferguson Today is ANZAC day and it is quite rightly a day to give thanks for the many people who have placed their own lives in danger to protect the freedom of others. It is a day to remember the Defence Personnel who have died in battle; the people who have been injured or bereaved as a result of war; the people who continue to live with the trauma of war and who may never know peace in their heart. We pray today for the veterans who consider suicide as an option for peace, and we give thanks for the Royal Commission into Veteran Suicide. It is important that we recognise the great sacrifice that many people have made in order that we may live in peace. We also recognise that our Lord died upon that horrid cross so that we could inherit eternal life. As we pray today, let us give thanks to God for our salvation, and let us give thanks for the sacrifice offered by the members of our Defence Personnel. The Rev’d Adrian Stephens, Locum Dean St Peter’s Cathedral strives to be a Christ-centred, sacramental, inclusive, thinking, mission-oriented, faith community.
