This is an area of great natural beauty which attracts visitors and walkers from the surrounding areas. The churches have, in many ways, drawn closer together during the period of lockdown. The Associate Minister and a lay leader have led a weekly service of compline as well as signposting to other online services. The many who participated from across the benefice have begun to get to know each other better – a positive sign for the future of the benefice. The PCCs have engaged positively with deanery and diocesan advisers during the vacancy and have been open to exploring a more sustainable model of ministry for the future of the benefice. As you will see from the profile, they have identified a number of significant strengths, including their relationship with local schools and the level of support for the churches from within the village communities.

  • Archdeaconry Records
    Archdeaconry and peculiar records The Archdeaconry of Oxford was part of the Diocese of Lincoln until the creation of the Diocese of Oxford in 1542. The archdeaconry generated many of the same types of records as the diocese. Because the bishop and archdeacon sometimes used the same officials, there was overlap in the records. It can be difficult to tell which records belong to the Bishop (the Diocesan records) and which to the Archdeacon in the C16th and C17th. The collection contains the records of the Archdeaconry of Oxford and also of peculiar jurisdictions in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. Peculiars were ecclesiastical areas within the Diocese of Oxford, but outside the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Oxford, such as Banbury, Buckingham, Langford, and Thame. In 1836 the Archdeaconry of Berkshire was also transferred to the Diocese of Oxford from the Diocese of Salisbury. In 1845 the Archdeaconry of Buckingham was transferred from the Diocese of Lincoln The court records (ARCH/1) deal with cases concerning the behaviour of the clergy, marriages, morals and religious beliefs of the laity, tithes, wills, church fabric and parish customs. The visitation records (ARCH/2) were created from the visits made by the archdeacon or his officials to every parish every few years. The financial records (ARCH/3) include fees and account books, and procuration books (procurators managed the affairs of other people). The records of clergy (ARCH/4) include mandates for induction of clergy into church livings, sequestration bonds for taking over a benefice (after the resignation or inability of the incumbent clerk in performing their duties) and subscription books including clergy ordination lists and institutions to livings, recording basic information on the names of clerks, their qualifications and careers The parochial records (ARCH/5) contain the annual transcripts of parish register entries.

  • THE MUSEUM During 1970 and 1971 Considerable Work Has Been Done on the Collections, Although Much Still Remains to Be Sorted Out
    THE MUSEUM During 1970 and 1971 considerable work has been done on the collections, although much still remains to be sorted out. The work of identifying and labelling geological specimens has been completed, and the insect collections sorted, fumi- gated, labelled, put in checklist order and card indexed. The egg collection has also been re-labelled and card indexed, and some specimens added to it. In the historical field a large collection of photographic plates, mainly taken by Taunt of Oxford about 1900, has been sorted and placed in individual envelopes. Racking has been installed in part of the first floor of the stable and most of the collection of pottery sherds transferred to it, where it is easily accessible. A start has been made on the production of a card index of the folk collection and to-date some 1,500 cards have been completed. At short notice reports on archaeological sites in the Chilterns and in the River Ouse Green Belt were prepared, and at greater leisure one on the Vale of Aylesbury for the County Planning Department. This involved visiting a very large number of sites, which did however yield additional information about some. A start has been made on an examination of air photographs of the county, and a number of new sites, particularly of ring ditches and medieval sites, have been found. Excavations were carried out by the museum staff on four sites referred to in The Records, three of them on behalf of the Milton Keynes Research Committee. Amongst the exhibitions was one of Museum Purchases 1960-1970, opened by Earl Howe, Chairman of the County Education Committee, which showed all the purchases made during that period.

  • Mission, Bishops and the Size of Dioceses
    Mission, Bishops and the Size of Dioceses E. R. WICKHAM I HAVE been asked by the Editor to write a general article on the exercise of episcope-that is to say, the good ordering of dioceses under episcopal administration-but with special reference to the size of dioceses that modern conditions might dictate. And to do this having in mind by way of illustration a concrete example as it appears from the recent Report of the Bishop of Oxford's Working Party on the Division of the Diocese. I must make it clear-should it be necessary-that I have no brief to advise the Diocese of Oxford and that my sole information is the published report itself. That report, with one dissentient, came out against division, a decision that has since been overwhelmingly endorsed by the Oxford Diocesan Conference, in March this year. The Oxford Report, so far as this article goes, is no more than a hook on which to hang a general issue now being raised in the Church of England, and which is currently being studied by a working-party set up by the Advisory Council for the Church's Minis­ try, in pursuance of a unanimous resolution of the Church Assembly in February, 1968. That resolution read: 'That A.C.C.M. be instructed to consider and report on the pastoral relationship of diocesan, suffragan and assistant bishops to the clergy and laity of their dioceses with a view to ascertaining the factors relating to the most appropriate size of a diocese and giving further consideration to the alternative scheme for small dioceses in Chapter XIV of the Report Diocesan Boundaries.' It is clear from this resolution that there is a history to the Assembly's decision.

  • Wychert Vale Benefice Profile
    Wychert Vale Benefice Profile 2 | P a g e Welcome Wychert Vale Benefice is a new network of churches serving a group of vibrant and growing villages between Thame and Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. Our leadership is team-based with many lay and ordained people working together. We are seeking a missional pastor and collaborative leader to join us as Associate Rector, to share in the strategic development of our benefice and enable mission and ministry in our churches and wider communities. Our shared vision and values The Wychert Vale Covenant has emerged from our discussions and prayer together. It sets out how we want to relate to each other and gives our vision and values: We have agreed four Covenant Principles for working together: To share resources of all kinds. To get to know one another and to work with, listen to, support and value one another. To determine to play our part gracefully in the improvement and strengthening of communications throughout the new benefice upwards, outwards and benefice-wide. To commit ourselves to ongoing prayer. We have discovered three emerging Covenant Purposes: Worshipping God Serving Community Sharing Life These help us to focus our role as the Body of Christ in our villages and have become the ‘motto’ or ‘strap line’ of the new benefice. A provisional mission action plan for the new benefice can be found on page 19 of this profile. Our Benefice prayer Heavenly Father, Your Son Jesus Christ prayed on the night before he died that all may be one, just as he is one with you.

  • Diocese of Oxford)
    CHURCH BUILDINGS COUNCIL Casework policy and precedents December 2020 Context The policies and precedents set out below have all arisen from casework considered by the Council at its recent meetings. They show how it has approached various policy matters and practical questions and are recorded by the Council to guide future decisions. They are published for the information of Diocesan Advisory Committees, and for the benefit of parishes considering changes to buildings. They help to indicate how the Council will approach matters and the matters that the Council will consider in forming its advice. Decisions over proposals for works to a church building are taken according to the framework of the Duffield Questions as modified by the Court of Arches over Penshurst (See http://www.churchcare.co.uk/churches/guidance-advice/making-changes-to-your- building/duffield-question). The purpose of the questions is to assess if a proposal will cause harm to a building and, if the answer is yes, if the harm is justified by the need for the proposed works. In the context of a church building due regard must be had to the church as a centre of worship and mission. Benefits to the worship and mission of the church can be used to show need for works that cause some degree of harm to the building. Although few cases considered by the Council will proceed to a hearing in open court, where the use of this framework is maybe most obvious, it informs how the Council approaches matters that are referred to it. Some of the principles below will already be familiar.

Nicholas Dixon November 2018 ii Thesis Summary The Activity and Influence of the Established Church in England, c. 1800-1837 Nicholas Andrew Dixon Pembroke College, Cambridge This thesis examines the various ways in which the Church of England engaged with English politics and society from c. 1800 to 1837. Assessments of the early nineteenth-century Church of England remain coloured by a critique originating in radical anti-clerical polemics of the period and reinforced by the writings of the Tractarians and Élie Halévy. It is often assumed that, in consequence of social and political change, the influence of a complacent and reactionary church was irreparably eroded by 1830.

  • 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.
