BISHOP ROBERT INSTITUTED IN GIBRALTAR Bishop Robert Innes was formally instituted into his chair (Cathedra) at the Diocese in Europe’s Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Gibraltar on Thursday 4 September. The occasion was blessed with some unseasonably hot autumn weather in the peninsula. Clergy and Readers from the Diocese shared in the processions and the service where the new diocesan bishop followed ancient custom by taking the historic oaths and accepting the mandate to lead the Diocese. The Archdeacon of Canterbury, the Venerable Sheila Watson, formally led Bishop Robert to the Bishop’s Chair. He preached his first sermon as bishop in the Cathedral then celebrated the Eucharist. Readers used some of the variety of languages from the diocese during the intercessions and at a few other points in the service. Further details including Bishop Robert’s sermon can be found on the Diocese in Europe’s website at: http://europe.anglican.org/news/news/post/756-bishop-instituted-in-gibraltar 3. NEWS FROM CEC Birth of the new CEC CEC prepares for the official launch of its new configuration in December with an internal event for member churches and a semi – public event bringing in representatives of the European institutions and other friends and partners of CEC/CSC. Advancing Freedom of Religion or belief for all Restrictions of freedom of religion or belief are an increasing challenge to the global world and to Europe in particular. The Summer School on Human Rights, hosted by the Italian Protestant Federation on 15 – 18 September in Palermo, Italy (a change from the original venue because of heavy flooding in Serbia) will focus on human rights, the politics of freedom, social hostility and the role of protection from domestic and international sources including the UN, Council of Europe, OSCE and the European Union. The Summer school is a project of CEC, supported by the University of Leuven. 2 Climate change: Young Christians call on EU to commit to eco-justice “We stand for Sustainability and Eco-justice” was the main conclusion of the ecological conference which was held in Brussels on 9 September. The Conference, co-organised by Christian organisations in Brussels, gathered together representatives of the EU Institutions, Christian youth organisations and churches representatives. The forum emphasised that entering a path to decarbonise societies and climate justice can be achieved only through cooperation of many stakeholders including those from politics, civil society and churches. A specific role is to be given to the younger generation in this process. The conference gave the floor to projects citing examples and providing inspiration on how Christians youth organisations and churches can get involved and convey their specific approach. The Youth of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of North Germany presented outcomes of their Youth Climate Conference and the commitment “to shape our way of life in such a way that it conforms with the objectives of CO2 reduction.” Raphael Breyer from the Federation of Catholic Youth presented the project ‘I shop fair’ which proves that responsibility and consuming can go together. The project, which is being run in Germany, Austria, Poland and Malta aims at convincing church institutions and public administration to move to a more responsible internal purchasing policy. In Italy, an initiative from the Salesian community movement “Turismo giovanile e sociale” fosters sustainable Tourism by educating the youth who are discovering the world, to safeguard all creation. In the ensuing panel discussion, Margarete Auken, an MEP from Denmark reacted positively to the projects presentation. She stressed that “in tackling effects of climate change the EU needs to increase its level of ambitions and be responsive to various initiatives from different segments of society.” Participants included the Secretariat of COMECE, the Conference of European Churches, Don Bosco International, the Ecumenical Youth Council in Europe, the Evangelical Church in Germany, the Federation of Protestant Youth in Germany and Rete Juventutis (represented via the European Office for Catholic Youth Work and Adult Education.) World War I commemoration The outbreak of World War I is being commemorated with materials for churches. A conference in 2016 on Conflict and the Role of Churches in Peace Building is being organised. 2018 Assembly Preparations are now starting for the 2018 Assembly.

NEWS FROM LAMBETH CHRISTIANS IN THE MIDDLE EAST: PRAYER SERVICE AT LAMBETH PALACE A gathering at Lambeth Palace on Wednesday 3 September held in prayer the state of emergency in the Middle East for Christians and other religious and ethnic minorities. In a statement Archbishop Justin said: “In meeting and praying together, we give thanks for our brother and sisters as they continue to live their Christian faith with strength and perseverance. We commit to continue to stand with them in prayer, to speak for freedom from persecution for Christians and all other religious communities and those of no faith who live as minority groups across the region. We also continue to urge Her Majesty’s Government to work within the international community to safeguard and provide for all those affected. To our brothers and sisters in the Middle East: we “share with you in Jesus the persecution and the kingdom and the patient endurance.” Revelation 1:9 More details are available at the Archbishop’s website at: http://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/articles.php/5403/watch-archbishop-calls-for- solidarity-and-prayer-with-mid-east-christians ARCHBISHOP JUSTIN SENDS GREETINGS TO ORTHODOX SPIRITUALITY CONFERENCE IN BOSE Prior Enzo and the Community of the Monastery of Bose hosted the 22nd International Ecumenical Conference on Orthodox Spirituality from Wednesday 3 to Saturday 6 September. Archbishop Justin sent a message of greeting. He said: "The theme of this Twenty-Second International Conference of 'Blessed are the Peacemakers' is most appropriate in the light of so many grave situations of conflict across the world today. These conflicts confront the Church with the challenge of peace-making. The Conference is an opportunity to pray together, but also to reflect theologically, share testimonies, information and insight from many contexts on proactive ways to resolve conflict and foster peace. The devastating effects of conflicts on civilian populations, and particularly on religious minorities in Northern Iraq and other parts of the Middle East – to mention only one complex region of strife - do not leave us untouched. Our calling to be faithful to our Christian task of peacemaking, of being agents of peace, has become acute. "The condition of peace often appears elusive and even paradoxical. Jesus’ words from the Beatitudes in Matthew’s Gospel are: “Blessed are the Peacemakers”, which 4 puts the onus on his followers to actively create peace. In John 14:27 the words of the risen Christ: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you” suggest that peace is a given state, among his followers at least. This paradox is solved if we realise that the gift of peace is ours to claim, but that it can only be realised for ourselves as Christians and for the world, if we work for peace. Therefore, central to our calling to be Christians in the world is to be able to experience the peace of God and to be peacemakers in the world…. "May these days of prayer and discussions strengthen the faithful within the fragmented Body of Christ to an effective common global witness as peacemakers." The full message is available from the Archbishop’s website at the following page: http://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/articles.php/5409/archbishops-message-to- international-ecumenical-conference-on-orthodox-spirituality 5. NEWS FROM THE VATICAN: FAMILY AND EVANGELIZATION: SYNOD OF BISHOPS ASSEMBLY Pope Francis has convened the Third Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops to take place in Rome from 5 to 19 October majoring on the topic The Pastoral Challenges to the Family in the Context of Evangelization. The Preparatory Document outlines God’s plan as revealed in scripture and examines the many social and scientific challenges that have arisen in the modern world.

    ATR/90:2 Theological Education for the Anglican Communion: The Promises and Challenges of TEAC J. Eileen Scully* Archbishop Rowan Williams has spoken often and strongly of the high priority theological education ought to have in the Anglican Communion. The assignment of such a place within a province’s set of priorities finds its meaning in its very concrete local commit- ments, engagement with local contexts, the setting of standards, and the provision of resources. Setting such a priority for the life of the Anglican Communion as a whole means including and extending particular provincial concerns into the international forum. With that extension come the particular challenges inherent in any Commu- nion-wide discussion. Within and across our diversities, do we have common language, meaning, and vision about what theological edu- cation is, or about Anglican ways of doing ministry, mission, and the- ological education? The vehicle set up to begin the Communion-level work on theo- logical education is the Primates’ Working Party Theological Educa- tion for the Anglican Communion (TEAC). TEAC is one particular initiative, begun in and responsible to the meeting of Primates, around which has grown a Theological Studies department within the Communion office, committed beyond the work of TEAC to sharing information and developing extensive web-based resources. Records of the origins and program content of TEAC are readily available on * Eileen Scully is Coordinator for Ministry and Worship for the Anglican Church of Canada. She has lectured in systematic and historical theology at St. Jerome’s Col- lege, Wilfrid Laurier University, and the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary in Waterloo, Ontario, and at Huron College in London, Ontario.

Abstract The study of Britain during World War il often centers upon the effects of the war experience on the home front. Because the war reached Greater London through bombings, raiioning, evacuation, the threat of invasion, and the total mobilization of the population, many of the institutions that were integrai to traditional notions of community in British society were affected.

  • “BREATHING LIFE” an INVITATION to SHARE in BELONGING TOGETHER THROUGH RACIAL JUSTICE Reflections and Recommendations from the Diocesan Working Group (WG)
    5.1 Racial Justice: A paper for discussion, to be adopted as the basis of the Diocese in Europe’s strategy in this area of work. “BREATHING LIFE” AN INVITATION TO SHARE IN BELONGING TOGETHER THROUGH RACIAL JUSTICE Reflections and Recommendations from the Diocesan Working Group (WG) Introduction The death of the African-American citizen George Floyd at the hands of police officers on 25th May in Minneapolis - in the midst of an already volatile climate caused by the COVID-19 crisis - gave rise to waves of protest across the United States under the movement of Black Lives Matter. Archbishops and bishops of the Church of England who rallied to support the movement have said that it is time to “own up to” and “repent” of white privilege, within the Church as in other parts of society (see article by Hattie Williams, Church Times, dt. 12th June 2020). In other parts of the Western world solidarity protests followed. Earlier sporadic outbreaks of protest and a ground swell of discontent against widespread racial injustice in societies and their institutions suddenly peaked in intensity and persistence, regrettably also in violence. The media highlighted the theme. The issue of racial injustice could no longer be side-lined; it demanded that it be confronted, the more so as there have been other such incidents which have followed close on the heel of George Floyd in the US, the UK and in Europe. Any violent expressions causing harm to life and property cannot be condoned. Violence cannot be met with violence. Just as unequivocally it needs to be stated that: Every human life matters equally.

  • Anglicans and the Interpretation of Scripture
    Southwark Cathedral Lecture July 3rd 2008 ANGLICANS AND THE INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE INTRODUCTION – BIBLE, BELIEF AND WORSHIP Original title: “The Anglican Understanding and Use of Scripture” I queried the use of “the” and the singular (in “understanding and use”). I was always taught that Anglicans have no separate doctrine and belief – this is rather a commonly repeated tenet of Anglicans. Archbishop Geoffrey Fisher: “We have no doctrine of our own – we only possess the Catholic doctrine of the Catholic Church enshrined in the Catholic creeds and those creeds we hold without addition or diminution.”1 Bishop Stephen Neil: “There are no special Anglican doctrines, there is no particular Anglican theology.”2 This view was challenged by Bishop Stephen Sykes in an essay originally written for the Lambeth Conference of 1988 and reprinted his Unashamed Anglicanism, in which he argues at least for an Anglican understanding of the church, if not doctrine, which also includes a commitment to the public reading of scripture.3 I would be interested to know how Canon Jane Steen’s lecture handled this topic of Anglican Belief last week! (not yet on the website). But at the very least, even granting Bishop Sykes’ point about an Anglican understanding of the church, there is no one, single Anglican doctrine for the understanding and use of scripture. Furthermore, the use of the singular “scripture” itself is somewhat problematic. After all, ta biblia in Greek, the word which gives us our singular word ‘Bible’, is actually plural, and means ‘the books’ so the phrase, “the scriptures” is a much better translation of ta biblia – and recognizes the essential plurality of the scriptures, namely that the Bible is a library containing some 66 books, written in several different languages, in a variety of literary genres and types (narrative, poetry, drama, prophetic oracles, biographies, letters and so forth) over a period 1 G.F.

The war was seen as an opportunity to revitalize it and return it to its role of prominence in society. In comparison to other areas of study, the role of the Church of England during this time period is inadequately examined.

  • 2018 Lambeth Awards Citations
    The Archbishop of Canterbury’s Awards Lambeth Palace 06 April 2018 Citations in Alphabetical Order The Right Reverend Mouneer Anis - The Hubert Walter Award for Reconciliation and Interfaith Cooperation for his outstanding contribution as a catalyst for peace building, bridge building and reconciliation between Christians and Muslims, especially in Egypt. Bishop Mouneer Anis’s contribution to the work of peace and reconciliation is invaluable. He has been instrumental in creating an ambitious, internationally acknowledged project, ‘The Imam Priest Exchange’, which has brought hundreds of Priests and Imams together to learn about one another’s traditions and beliefs and to commit to working alongside one another. His vision and efforts have enabled this programme to consist not simply of meetings, but of tangible follow up projects at grassroots level. Bishop Mouneer has made a unique contribution and example through his ability to establish deep relationships - largely through his openness, creativity and ambition to move people towards reconciliation. At times, this inevitably makes him a counter-cultural voice within his setting. Particularly of note is his role as a bridge builder in the Anglican Church’s most important official international Christian/Muslim dialogue with Al-Azhar Al-Sharif and he is a most highly trustworthy representative for Archbishop Justin to the Grand Imam himself. Moreover, Bishop Mouneer is incredibly generous with his time: cultivating relationships with those from different faiths and background whilst running the Cathedral in Cairo, all within a context in which Christians are a vulnerable minority. He also maintains good contact across different institutions, with charitable and political leaders and brings together all these networks for the common good.
