  • 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.

He studied English Literature and Theology at Oxford University, and was later curate of St Leonard's church in Exeter. Graham returned to Oxford to be Chaplain of Jesus College and tutor in Historical Theology and Evangelism at Wycliffe Hall, where he eventually became Vice Principal.

Graham was a member of the Theology Faculty of Oxford University for seven years, is a member of the Church of England’s College of Evangelists and a Visiting Lecturer at King’s College London. He is the author of many articles and several books, including ‘The Power of the Cross: Theology and the Death of Christ in Paul, Luther and Pascal’ (Paternoster 1999), 'The Provocative Church’ (SPCK 2002), ‘Luther and his World’ (Lion 2002), ‘Spiritual Fitness: Christian Character in a Consumer Culture’ (2006) and most recently, ‘The Seven Deadly Sins and How to Overcome Them’ (Lion 2007).

  • The Eucharist
    Renewal of Commitment to Ministry Maundy Thursday 9 April 2020 11:00 Officiant and Preacher The Rt Revd Dr Michael Ipgrave OBE Bishop of Lichfield with the Rt Revd Clive Gregory, Bishop of Wolverhampton, the Rt Revd Sarah Bullock, Bishop of Shrewsbury. and the Rt Revd Jan McFarlane, Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Lichfield About This Service The bishops in the Diocese of Lichfield normally gather together all clergy and lay ministers at the Cathedral on the morning of Maundy Thursday in order for us all to reaffirm our commitment to our various ministries, while also blessing and collecting oils for use over the coming year and celebrating the Eucharist together. Sadly, at this present time of crisis it is impossible for us to gather together or to bless the oils. Thanks to modern technology, however, it is possible for us to reaffirm our commitment to ministry together and this service will be streamed on our Diocesan Facebook page and website to enable us to do so. We hope you will feel able to join in with the service from home. We especially hope that priests, deacons and lay ministers will feel able to join in with the renewal of commitment to ministry at the appropriate point in the service. As usual, everything that the congregation is invited to join in with is in bold type. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, we cannot provide printed versions of the hymns. However, these are well-known hymns, are in many hymn books and the texts are also available online, so we hope that you will be able to provide yourselves with copies and join in.
