    Sunday 29 November 2020 First Sunday of Advent WORSHIP Isaiah 64.1-9 Ps 80.1-8, 18-20 1 Corinthians 1.3-9 Mark 13.24-end Collect: Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness and to put on the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility; that on the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Message from Fr Paul Dear Friends Today’s Collect is a favourite of mine: ‘….give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and to put on the whole armour of light, now in this mortal life…’. This year it speaks more powerfully than ever into the world’s chaos and uncertainty, reminding us that we are people who can, despite everything, live and walk in the light of Christ. It is the Light of Christ, which we prepare to celebrate at Christmas (yes, even in 2020!). And the season of Advent which begins today points us to that light. It points us also to the great hope we have in Christ’s Incarnation at Christmas and the time when He shall return and come again in all his glory. I am very pleased to say that at the time of writing we are able to plan to be back in church from next Sunday 6 December, the Second Sunday in Advent, which is also our Patronal Festival.

  • Choral Evensong
    Choral Evensong with the Installation of the Venerable Jenny Rowley as Archdeacon of Portsdown, the Reverend Judith Bee as Honorary Canon, Adrian Jordan as Lay Canon, and the Venerable Martyn Gough QHC RN and the Reverend David Lindsay as Canons of Honour The Second Sunday of Advent 6 December 2020 1730 Thank you for joining us in worship. You are in our prayers – and please pray for all those to whom we minister as a Cathedral. Acknowledgements The Book of Common Prayer, from which this order of service is taken, is copyright © The Crown/Cambridge University Press.

Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing, stirs on the earth and trembles in the air! Is it the thunder of the Lord’s appearing? Is it the music of his people’s prayer? Surely he cometh, and a thousand voices shout to the saints, and to the deaf and dumb; surely he cometh and the earth rejoices, glad in his coming who hath sworn: I come! This hath he done, and shall we not adore him? This shall he do, and can we still despair? come, let us quickly fling ourselves before him, cast at his feet the burden of our care. Yea through life, death, through sorrow and through sinning, he shall suffice me, for he hath sufficed: Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning, Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ.

  • Total Break Down of Synod Membership 15 53 3% 11%
    GS Misc 1218 GENERAL SYNOD List of Speakers – Feb 2019 This paper provides a basic summary of statistics relating to the speakers at the Feb 2019 group of sessions. The term “contribution” refers to either a speech made in a debate, or a question raised in a presentation. Note: supplementaries asked during the Questions item have been included in the totals; and contributions made by the mover/presenter of an item have not been included in the totals. Overview of General Synod Make up of General Synod House of Bishops 53 House of Clergy 196 House of Laity 209 Non-voting 15 Total 473 Total break down of Synod Membership 15 53 3% 11% 209 44% 196 42% House of Bishops House of Clergy House of Laity Non-voting There were 5 vacancies on the General Synod during the Feb group of sessions.

  • Church at Home Second Sunday of Lent
    Church at Home Second Sunday of Lent 1 Before the Service Welcome as we worship God together from across the Diocese of Oxford in Church at Home on this, the second Sunday of Lent. We are delighted that our own Bishop-designate and episcopal vicar for the Dorchester area Gavin Collins will be presiding for us, for the first time since he joined the Diocese. Our preacher is the Revd David Tyler, associate archdeacon of Dorchester. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed ideas, prayers and action to this week’s Church at Home. This week, our readings focus on Christ’s prediction of his own passion, which serves as a reminder of what Holy Week will hold as we continue through this time of preparation and fasting together. Later today Join us in saying, 'Welcome, Gavin!' at 3pm online. We welcome Bishop-designate Gavin Collins in an online service from Dorchester Abbey this afternoon. Details of how to join, along with an order of service to download, available at oxford.anglican.org/livestream 1 Video before the Service Your Cross, O Lord Your cross, O Lord, taught me to see That though I fail you every day Your steadfast love will not fail me But gladly bears my sin away. And there I see your holy fire Consuming sin in mercy’s blood: What righteousness and love require To ransom sinners to their God. Your cross, O Lord, taught me to weep For there my sin led you away And e'en the sun did bow in grief As darkness crowned our darkest day.

  • Read the Welcome Booklet
    Welcome to the Diocese of Oxford An introduction for new clergy Welcome! As Bishops in this Diocese of Oxford, we are delighted to welcome you to your new ministry. We sincerely hope you will soon feel settled and be able to flourish here. Ministry these days is undoubtedly pressurised but there are good resources in the Diocese to support and help you, and this leaflet is an introduction to some of them. Clearly your gifts are – humanly speaking – the most valuable resources we have. We are therefore committed to offering you the best training opportunities, personal support and encouragement that we can. The Church of England is of course a fairly ‘flat’ organisation and this is a large diocese, but the Area Deans, Archdeacons and Bishops are all committed to your wellbeing, and welcome your being in touch. Naturally you will want to take responsibility for your own flourishing as well. You may well have a spiritual director, cell group, long-term friends, and others who accompany you on your journey. You may also have particular interests, both inside and beyond ministry, that sustain you and give you life. All of that is excellent; we just want the best for you. In these early stages of moving here, your Archdeacon is best placed to help you and make any connections you need. Within the first six months you will see your Area Dean, Archdeacon and Bishops, all of whom are there to help you ‘land’ safely and well. I hope this leaflet will help you (and your spouse if you are married) to understand a little more of the Diocese and the resources available.

  • The Rt Hon. the Baroness Stowell of Beeston, MBE Chair of the Charity Commission 102 Petty France, Westminster London SW1H 9AJ
    The Rt Hon. The Baroness Stowell of Beeston, MBE Chair of the Charity Commission 102 Petty France, Westminster London SW1H 9AJ By post and email to [email protected] cc [email protected] As from Mr Andrew Graystone, 17 Rushford Avenue, Manchester M192HG [email protected] Wednesday 27th May 2020 Dear Lady Stowell You recently received a letter from some individual trustees of Christ Church Oxford making a series of allegations against their Dean, the Very Revd Professor Martyn Percy. We wish to express our confidence in Martyn Percy. We Know him in our various capacities, as a man of consistently good character, an exceptional scholar, a respected public servant, and an outstanding Christian leader. We do not speculate on the reasons why some members of the Governing Body of Christ Church wish to go to such extreme lengths to destroy the reputation of their Dean and to break his spirit. But we do know that : • The recent letter is the latest episode in a sustained campaign against the Dean led by senior members of the college Governing Body since his appointment. • The specific allegations against Martyn Percy have changed over time, but each allegation has been disproved. In August of last year Dean Percy was wholly exonerated after an extensive investigation by Sir Andrew Smith, a retired High Court judge. - 1 - • The signatories of the letter are far from objective. Several of them were revealed by Sir Andrew to have employed devious methods and offensive language in their efforts to breaK his resolve, and some will be parties to an Employment Tribunal to be heard next year.

    Fortnightly News Sunday 22 March 2020 (updated) Fourth Sunday of Lent SPECIAL EDITION - Incorporating Monthly Information Sheet articles Picture by Naomi Sloane “Our churches remain open; our faith in God is undiminished; public worship may be suspended; but the life of God’s kingdom is inextinguishable” Please read on for information, tips and guidance related to the Corona Virus Crisis The FIRST Word - From Canon Tom “Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”! Regular readers of the ‘Fortnightly News’ will know that I usually reserve the final page of this publication for my ‘Last Word’ on a given week. I hope you won’t mind me taking the having the first word on this occasion! There’s an old Chinese curse: ‘may you live in interesting times’. It carries with it the threat that change and challenge are something to be feared. The person pronouncing the curse appears to be saying that it is better to live a dull, routine existence. I’m not sure that I agree. Lord Jonathan Sachs (the former Chief Rabbi) was interviewed on the BBC’s Newsnight programme this week. He said that he thought this current crisis might turn out to be a time of ‘Revelation’ to humanity. I didn’t catch all that he said (because I was frantically dispatching emails at the time!). But essentially he thought the sudden changes we are all being forced to make might actually cause us to stop. We might have a chance to think about the kind of life we have fashioned for ourselves.
