  • Updating Report for SCCA Campaign

    Updating Report for SCCA Campaign

    Updating Report for SCCA Campaign 2012 proved incredibly important in raising public awareness of the institutional cultures and dynamics that hinder the effective implementation of Child Protection/Safeguarding policies and procedures. The Savile Inquiries, the Rochdale cases and the inquiries and police investigation into child sexual abuse perpetrated by clergy within the Diocese of Chichester all in 2012 raise considerable concerns about how those placed in positions of authority within institutions, local authorities and police services as well as within the wider communities respond to Child Sexual Abuse that is taking place in some cases quite literally before their eyes. The campaign and the Government’s response The Stop Church Child Abuse (“SCCA”) campaign was launched in March 2012. The campaign is an alliance of clergy sexual abuse survivors, charities supporting survivors, specialist lawyers and interested individuals working in the field of child safeguarding. The campaign aims to highlight the serious safeguarding failures of church institutions. The campaign and many individuals have called on the Government to institute an independent inquiry into child sexual abuse perpetrated by clergy, religious and other church officials within all Dioceses and institutions of the Catholic Church in England & Wales and the Church of England and in Wales. Many contacts and letters have passed between the campaign’s supporters and the MPs. The Government response to this pressure has been (quoting from the Education Secretary’s letter of 25th May 2012):- 1) “No child should ever have to tolerate abuse. I am not however convinced of the need for a public inquiry, as the key issues are already being addressed by reforms we have underway.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021

    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.

    The Bishop of Blackburn The Rt Revd Julian T Henderson The Rt Revd Christopher Cocksworth The Bishop’s House 23 Davenport Road Coventry CV5 6PW 13th October 2018 Dear Bishop Christopher, I write on behalf of a number of evangelical Bishops, who have put their names to this letter and are named at the end, and invite you to share this letter with your Coordinating Group. It will be placed on the CEEC website on Monday 15th October. We were grateful for the opportunity at General Synod to share in the important work of Living in Love and Faith (LLF) and to receive more details about the extensive work being undertaken to prepare teaching and learning resources from the House of Bishops in 2020. We have listened and learnt further from the discussions together at the College in September. Following conversations among ourselves, and aware of others’ responses to this ongoing project, we are writing to share some of our own perspectives with you as Chair and with the wider Co- Ordinating Group. As other debates at the recent General Synod made clear – notably those on the environment and national security – we are wrestling as a church with numerous complex and contested ethical issues, not just sexuality. Many of these are of global as well as national significance. We believe consideration of these is an integral part of the Church of England’s witness and mission as we share the good news of salvation in Christ and call people to turn, believe, and follow Him. Through our corporate discernment, guided by the wisdom of previous generations and led by the Spirit, we seek afresh to understand biblical truth on contested issues and offer this as public truth for the common good in our pluralist, post-Christendom society.
