  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.

  • Mission 1991
    Come and See Mission 5th -19th May 1991 1 Preparation The mission itself took place over the 15 days leading up to and finishing with Pentecost, but a great deal of preparation was necessary to make sure we were ready, both for the spiritual challenge and the practical requirements involved. A mission committee was formed to plan and co-ordinate all the preparations. One aim in the planning was to include as many different people as possible, to make good use of the variety of skills within our membership. The preparation was fundamentally important for the mission to succeed. It certainly helped to create enthusiasm in our congregation and we were drawn closer together in the process. Prayer First and foremost came prayer. Two whole years before the mission, the PCC decided that it was a suitable time to reach out to the parish, and we prayed that we would find the best way forward. The idea of a parish mission was suggested and a visit from the Diocesan Missioner, Father (now Bishop) Lindsay Urwin OGS filled in some details. A mission would be primarily for us, to renew and deepen our faith but also we would be reaching out to the whole parish and extending a particular invitation to those people in the parish who already had loose connections with the church, such as parents of the Sunday school children and Brownies, those who had had their child baptised within the previous 3 or 4 years etc. The Mission Committee’s first task was to choose a title for the mission and to compose a mission prayer.

  • LORD God, Heavenly Father, Grant Your Church
    Westminster Abbey Sung Eucharist marking the 40th anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood of John Robert Hall 4th July 2016 5.00 pm Sit Deo gloria Biographical Note John Robert Hall was born on 13th March 1949, the second of four children of Robert and Margaret Hall, who brought up their family in Eltham, South- East London. They were active members of the Church of St John the Baptist, Eltham Parish Church. From the age of five, John was a boat boy and joined the church choir at the age of eight, becoming head chorister. Later he re-joined the serving team and became sacristan. He was educated at Eltham Church of England Primary School and St Dunstan’s College. He recognised a vocation to ordination at the age of seventeen. After school, John spent six months teaching at Starehe Boys’ Centre in Nairobi before reading Theology at St Chad’s College in the University of Durham. He then taught Religious Education for two years at Malet Lambert High School, a senior comprehensive school in Kingston-upon-Hull. He trained for the ministry at Cuddesdon Theological College. John was made Deacon by The Right Reverend Mervyn Stockwood, Lord Bishop of Southwark, in his Cathedral on 29th June 1975 to serve a title at the Church of St John the Divine, Kennington. He was ordained Priest in Southwark Cathedral on 4th July 1976 and sang his first Mass on 5th July. The Deacon on that occasion was today’s preacher, The Right Reverend Graham James, Bishop of Norwich. On All Saints’ Day 1978, John was licensed as priest-in-charge of All Saints’ Church, South Wimbledon, and, on 2nd October 1984, he was instituted by The Right Reverend Ronald Bowlby, Lord Bishop of Southwark, and inducted by the Archdeacon to serve as Vicar of St Peter’s Church, Streatham.

    Welcome to ST PETER’S EASTERN HILL Diocese of Melbourne - Anglican Church of Australia Parish Church of the City since 1846 ‘The Unmerciful Servant’, Rembrandt (1660) ORDINARY SUNDAY 24 6TH SEPTEMBER 2020 O God, you call your Church to witness that in Christ we are reconciled to you: help us so to proclaim the good news of your love, that all who hear it may turn to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen FROM THE WARDEN & TREASURER PLEASE CONTINUE TO HELP US IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES We are separated because of the pandemic but we are still together as parish. We are still caring for each other. Our liturgy continues – albeit in a virtual form – and innovations are occurring with our Rosary and meditation group. The parish is still doing God’s work through the Lazarus Centre and the Social Enterprise. However, we still have expenses in keeping us going, keeping our music alive, and keeping us in touch with each other. The maintenance costs of the parish continue unabated as we clean the hall and church more thoroughly now than ever before. It is stewardship time, where we ask you to recommit to helping the missions of St Peter’s. We ask you to continue to be an instrument of God’s grace. Please continue your generosity to keep the parish going, supporting each other and supporting the wider world. Your contributions help the parish budget so that we can continue our ministries - our music, our liturgy, our bookshop, our work with RMIT, our work with the homeless and up-skilling people into work, the telephone tree, and our teaching ministries.

  • 13 June 2021 3Rd Sunday After Pentecost Sung Mass 10.00 VIDEO
    THE ANGLICAN PARISH OF CHRIST CHURCH BRUNSWICK L D THE THIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST MASS WITH SPIRITUAL COMMUNIOMN 0.00 # 3 %& 202 Christ Church — Enter the Mystery WELCOME TO CHRIST CHURCH Today’s mass is celebrated in a church with very few people present, only those who are assisting with the liturgy, and then ‘keeping their distance’ with love. Others will be watching at home, and will have the ‘reserved sacrament’ with them so they can communicate at the appropriate time in the service. Others will be watching at home and will make a spiritual communion when the time comes. Others will not be able to watch the service, but will spend time following the service paper and then either make their communion with the reserved sacrament or make a spiritual communion. Wherever you are, and however you share in worship today, we are united by the Spirit of the Lord as one company of believers with Christians everywhere. If you are watching try less to ‘watch’ the screen as you might a television programme. Enter into the service … say the prayers … sing the hymns!
