  • A Celebration of Ministry with the Enthronement of the Rt Revd Mark Tanner As the 41St Bishop of Chester
    A Celebration of Ministry with the Enthronement of The Rt Revd Mark Tanner as the 41st Bishop of Chester Saturday 26th June at 2.00pm 1 Welcome from Tim Stratford, Dean of Chester A very warm welcome to Chester Cathedral on this significant day in the life of the Church of God and Diocese of Chester. It seems to have taken a long time coming. There has been a long process of discernment and selection which led up to the announcement that Bishop Mark Tanner, then Bishop of Berwick, was to be the forty-first and next Bishop of Chester. This included consultations in communities across the diocese and meetings of the Crown Nominations Commission in which the diocese was represented. Following an announcement made by 10 Downing Street, the College of Canons of this Cathedral met and unanimously elected him. Bishop Mark was confirmed as the Bishop of Chester during online proceedings presided over by the Archbishop of York on Wednesday 15th July last year. At the time we were still in the midst of the first coronavirus lockdown. Archbishop Stephen’s own confirmation had only been completed the week before, and he was still unable to move to York from Chelmsford Diocese. During these proceedings Archbishop Stephen laid a charge on Bishop Mark which is included in these pages. Bishop Mark picked up the reins here in Chester following an innovative “Crozier Service” on 20th September that was created to mark the beginning of his ministry in these unusual times. He was unable formally to occupy the Bishop’s Seat, known as the Cathedra, in the Cathedral Quire until paying homage to Her Majesty the Queen.

    St. George’s United Reformed Church Little Sutton 3rd & 10th July 2020 Welcome to Virtual St George’s News Sheet Thankfulness The dwarf sunflowers planted at St. George’s are just starting to open. At a time when there is still much that worries us all, it may help to pause and “count our blessings”, and enjoy what we can. A simple way to start is to read through Psalm 23: “The Lord is my shepherd ...”, or the hymn “Now thank we all our God ...” Two weeks The editors are having a brief rest to catch up with other stuff, so this news sheet covers two weeks. The next edition should appear on 17th July. Local Church Leader News Revd Jacky Embrey will be moving on later this year from serving as Moderator of the Mersey Synod of the URC – Jacky will be joining a church partnership in the Greater Manchester area. Thank you, Jacky, and best wishes for the future. The Church of England will be welcoming a new Bishop of Chester later this year. Revd Mark Tanner, who started ministry as a curate in Upton, Wirral, will be moving from his current role as Bishop of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Plans for St George’s From 13th June, places of worship were allowed to open for private prayer with strict precautions. From 4th July, communal worship will again be permitted, but further precautions would be needed. Some local churches have opened for private prayer on a limited basis; some will be opening soon for a different form of public worship.

How can we maintain it for the long term? In this book, a group of evangelists, bishops, pastors, and theologians try to unpack what the Bible says about a sustainable pattern of ministry, with particular application to Anglican churches today. United in their conviction that God’s Spirit works through his word, they look both theologically and practically at how to reach out with the gospel, build up the church, and send out gospel workers for the next generation—without losing momentum.
