THE DIOCESE OF OXFORD – AN OVERVIEW

The Diocese of Oxford has:  The largest numbers of parishes and churches of any diocese in the Church of England. A population of 2,335,000 (2014).

The Diocese of Oxford is:  The fifth most populous diocese in the Church of England  The sixth largest diocese in land area in the Church of England anticipating over 200,000 additional houses and 475,000 more people by 2026.

As of March 2015, the Diocese had:  290 benefices  622 parishes  815 churches, of which more than 660 are listed buildings  More than 51,000 people on church electoral rolls  Approximately 600 parochial clergy, plus around 400 active retired and 100 on non-parochial licenses  Around 300 Licensed Lay Ministers  Around 100 Youth/Children/Family workers  More than 58,000 children attending our church schools.

FOREWORD BY THE ACTING BISHOP OF OXFORD

As ever I must begin this report by saying a big ‘thank-you’ to all those – paid staff and volunteers alike – who have given so much of themselves, their prayers, their imagination (and sheer hard work) in enabling what is described here to happen.

2015 was an odd year in many ways. We began it fully expecting that by the late summer or early autumn we would be welcoming a new Diocesan Bishop. Of course that did not happen and we had to wait another year and a bit before we heard that Steven Croft would be coming to join us in that role.

Happily, since the centre of the Diocese lies in its parishes, most of its life continued unabated. Prayers were prayed; worship was said or sung or expressed through silence; service of others remained central; yes, and the Parish Share continued to be given in quite remarkably generous ways.

We also continued to seek to express our love of Christ in new ways, as well as honouring old ones. For me, even if it has been hard work, it has been very energising too. Oxford is a great Diocese to serve in and long may it continue to flourish.

May I encourage you to read these reports and to use them as a basis for intercession, praise and thanksgiving.

OXFORD DIOCESAN MISSION AND PASTORAL COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Costs: £33,100 0.1% of the total budget 1. At its June meeting, Diocesan Synod approved a proposal that Bishop’s Council should assume the functions of the Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Committee. Consequently, the Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Committee met for the last time in May 2015 before handing over work to the Archdeaconry Mission and Pastoral Committees and to Bishop’s Council. At that meeting it examined the Archdeaconry Mission Action Plans. 2. Discussion continued in the four archdeaconry subcommittees on mission action planning within the framework of the diocesan ministry policy. Pastoral reorganisation cases were considered as follows (figures represent 17 separate cases).

Preliminary Draft proposals Draft scheme Subject matter discussions or order issued published Completed Creation of new benefice 1 Union of benefices 2 2 1 2 Team ministry reconstitution 1 Amendment of boundaries 2 1 Churchyard deconsecration 1 Transfer of benefice to a different deanery 1 Initial exploration where no change resulted 2 Initial explorations where outcome currently unclear 4

At year end, presentation was suspended to 34 benefices altogether (11 in Berkshire archdeaconry, eight in Buckingham, 13 in Dorchester and two in Oxford) compared to 41 in 2014 and 56 in 2013). 3. The four archdeaconry subcommittees each met twice during 2015. Besides monitoring the work described above, Dorchester had a meeting focussing on links with children, young people and schools. 4. Howard Cattermole resigned as Pastoral Secretary at the end of March 2015, and Petronella Spivey took on the role from September. 5. The Closed Churches Committee, which is a sub-committee of the DMPC has been considering the future of nine churches: considering change of use and lease negotiations for four closed or closing churches, monitoring the disposal of three churches, considering the change in terms of closure at one church to allow for occasional services and monitoring the resale of a further church in order to reclaim overage. 6. The New Communities Group is now reporting to the Board of Mission.

OXFORD DIOCESAN BOARD OF FINANCE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2015

Overall the results for the year were a surplus of £0.8M, compared with the budgeted surplus of £6K, due to increased vacancies resulting in lower clergy costs, additional glebe and fees income and other cost savings. The summarised report that follows sets out the overall financial position of ODBF. If further information is required please consult the full annual financial statements, including reports from the Trustees and the Auditors. These are available on the website (www.oxford.anglican.org/finance) or a printed copy can be obtained from Church House Oxford.

Introduction

This report to the members of Synod comprises

I. a comparison between the actual results (management accounts), the Synod revenue budget for 2015 and the actual results for 2014 II. a reconciliation between these results and those shown in the Statement of Financial Activities (“SOFA”) in the financial statements III. a summary of the balance sheet at 31 December 2015 IV. major capital transactions during 2015 V. the reserves policy VI. factors that are likely to affect financial performance in 2016

I Management Accounts - Performance Against Budget (£M)

2014 2015 Variance – Favourable/ Actual Actual Budget (Adverse) £M % £M % £M £M Expenditure 18.0 81 Parochial Ministry 18.9 82 19.2 0.3 2.5 11 Mission in the Diocese 2.5 11 2.6 0.1 1.0 5 National Church 1.0 4 1.0 - contribution 0.6 3 Administration & finance 0.7 3 0.7 - 22.1 100 23.1 100 23.5 0.4 Income 17.9 77 Parish share net of rebates 18.2 77 18.2 - 3.6 15 Glebe income 3.7 15 3.5 0.2 1.6 7 Parish Fees & Rentals 1.7 7 1.5 0.2 0.3 1 General investment 0.3 1 0.3 - income 23.4 100 23.9 100 23.5 0.4 1.3 Net income 0.8 - 0.8

ODBF received 96.5% of parish share requested for the year. Levels of underpayment of share totalled £681K, an improvement of £72K compared to 2014. The requested rate of increase in share for 2015 was set at an average of 1.2% overall, and net of rebates share income grew by 1.6% from 2014.

Parochial ministry costs were under budget by £0.3M for the year due to increased vacancies resulting in lower clergy costs. Stipendiary vacancies in 2015 were higher than anticipated in the budget, due to the number of retirements and clergy movements. Expenditure on repairs to clergy housing increased by £0.4M from 2014.

Glebe income is above budget due to higher dividend income. A cautious budget was set awaiting the outcome of the General Election and the stability after the election enabled dividend receipts to exceed the budget and previous year.

Rental and fees income exceeded budget by £0.2M due to availability of houses resulting from higher clergy vacancies and a further growth of fees from weddings and funerals.

II Reconciliation between Management Accounts and SOFA

The surplus for the year according to the management accounts above was £0.8M whereas the net income for general funds in the SOFA is £0.7M. There are 3 key differences between the 2015 management and statutory accounts: £0.1M property related gains, a £0.2M FRS102 pensions credit, less £0.4M repayments of 2014 parish share, with a net effect of reducing the statutory accounts “surplus” by £0.1M.

FRS102 accounting rules require an adjustment to be made in the statutory accounts for pension costs, relating to the change in the year end valuation of the defined benefit staff pension scheme, and this has created the £0.2M pension credit.

In June 2015 £0.4M repayments were made to deaneries for 2% of 2014 parish share paid. This was excluded from the 2015 management accounts and budget as it was made from the 2014 general funds surplus.

The total net income for all funds for the year before investment gains was £1.9M. The Synod budget and management accounts relates to general funds income and expenditure only, whereas the statutory accounts include transactions relating to the designated, restricted and endowment funds, primarily relating to property and trust funds and the clergy defined benefit pension scheme deficit.

A summary is shown below of items included in the SOFA for designated, restricted and endowment funds:

£M Notes General funds transactions as above 0.7 Clergy defined benefit pension fund adjustment 1.2 a New endowment funds 0.3 Glebe investment management costs funded by capital (0.2) b Net other fund movements (0.1) SOFA: Net income before investment gains (see Page 11, 1.9 £1,873K) a For the 2015 year end ODBF has adopted for the first time the new Charities Statement of Recommended Practice [SORP 2015(FRS102)] which has resulted in changes in accounting for the clergy defined benefit pension deficit. ODBF are required to include in their accounts an estimate of the diocesan share of the total deficit, and movements in the deficit are reflected in the SOFA, creating a £1.2M credit in 2015. b Glebe investment management costs are funded by glebe capital under the Endowments and Glebe Measure and excluded from the management accounts results. These are fees paid to Newton Investment Management for managing the glebe investment portfolios.

III Balance Sheet The balance sheet at 31 December 2015 analysed by fund is as follows:-

Total General Designated Restricted Endowment Total 2014 £M £M £M £M £M £M 276.3 Fixed assets 0.1 71.3 - 222.8 294.2 103.6 Investments 0.9 - 0.6 107.3 108.8 11.1 Current assets 7.4 2.1 1.7 (0.1) 11.1 (16.7) Liabilities (1.7) (2.4) (0.1) (11.0) (15.2) 374.3 Total Assets 6.7 71.0 2.2 319.0 398.9

Funds 346.9 At 1 January 2015 7.7 63.1 2.3 301.2 374.3 27.4 Net movement in funds (1.0) 7.9 (0.1) 17.8 24.6 374.3 At 31 December 2015 6.7 71.0 2.2 319.0 398.9

97% of funds are invested in approximately 450 houses for clergy (valued at £293.5M) and glebe investments (valued at £103.9M), where the use of capital is restricted and the income is used to pay stipends. The total funds and assets have increased by £24.6M during the year, mainly due to the favourable market conditions increasing house prices and investment values.

IV Capital Transactions

Church House Oxford was purchased in August 2015, and offers were received for the sale of Diocesan Church House. Four parsonage houses were sold in the year, one purchased and one built. Three Board properties were purchased and four were sold in the year. One glebe funded property was purchased in the year. Due to pastoral reorganisation, two properties were transferred from parsonage to board funds and two properties from glebe team vicarage to parsonage funds.

V Reserves policy

ODBF has very substantial ongoing responsibilities including the remuneration of some 380 stipendiary clergy, the upkeep of approximately 450 houses and the employment of some 60 full or part time staff. It is considered that, to meet substantial outgoings, the target general reserves at 1 January each year should be equivalent to three months gross expenditure from general funds in the coming year. At 31 December 2015, ODBF’s free reserves were equivalent to 3.05 months (2014 4.8 months) of gross expenditure from general funds in the forthcoming year. The decrease in free reserves was mostly due to the net result of property purchases and sales, including the purchase of Church House Oxford.

VI Factors likely to affect 2016

The 2016 budget was approved by November Synod with a £75K surplus, based on a parish share average rise of 1.25%, stipend increase of 2% and share under-collections rate of 3%. Setting the budget close to break-even does not provide for the effects of inflation on reserves, however this was considered possible in 2016 as general reserves are above the diocesan policy level of 3 months’ cover.

OXFORD DIOCESAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Chairman: Mr Charles Baker Costs 2015: £149,900 Secretary : Ms Natalie Merry 0.6% of total budget

The DAC met 11 times during 2015. 611 new applications were made to the DAC during the year, and the staff and members made 158 visits to parishes seeking advice on the development and repair of their church buildings. The central roles of the committee remain to provide a free and professional advisory service to parishes on building matters; formal advice to the chancellor of the diocese regarding petitions for faculty; and to improve communication between specialists (architects, amenity societies, conservators) and non-specialists (parish volunteers). The volume of casework processed by the DAC in 2015 was a significant increase on that in 2014 (up 11% from 551 new applications in 2014). 54% of the 816 new and recurring cases were applications for the reordering, extension, or redevelopment of existing historic church buildings (“development” category – up 14% from 2014). 28% were repair and conservation projects (up 2%), and a further 18% (up 2%) were for improvements to heating, lighting, or audio-visual systems (“mechanical and engineering”). This continues the trend towards an increasing proportion of development work that has been observed since 2009, and reflects the need for wider use of church buildings in order to sustain them into the future, the wider availability of grants for this kind of work, and now the greater amount of support for this available from the DAC as the staffing has evolved. DAC staff continued to be involved in the delivery of training to new churchwardens and incumbents, and to curates on the diocesan IME programme. Ms Catherine Townsend was seconded to the post of Senior Church Buildings Officer/DAC Secretary from the Church Buildings Council from January to March, in order to cover Ms Merry’s recuperation following surgery. This secondment was welcomed by the DAC as an opportunity to give front line diocesan level experience to CBC staff, and it was hoped that experience would prove useful background for future policy considerations at national level. Ms Christine Fenn joined the staff team in August 2015 as Historic Churches Support Officer, a three-year post part-funded by Historic England and tasked with offering early stage advice and guidance on large repair and development projects. Mrs Sophie Hammond (Assistant Church Buildings Officer) left for her maternity leave in July, and her post would be covered by Dr Kirsten Claiden-Yardley for the duration of that leave. In December 2015 the committee bade farewell to the Venerable Karen Gorham (Archdeacon of Buckingham), who left to take up her new post as Bishop of Sherborne, and to Canon Tina Stirling. The DAC members at the end of 2015 were Mr C Baker (Chairman), the Archdeacon of Oxford, the Archdeacon of Berkshire, the Archdeacon of Buckingham (vacant Dec 2015), the Archdeacon of Dorchester, the Venerable Christine Allsopp , Mrs G Argyle, Mrs J Christie, Mr D Clark, Canon A Daffern, the Reverend Dr A Doig, Ms G O’Farrell, Professor B R Kemp, Mr B Martin, Professor J Missenden, Mr J Munby, Reverend J West, and Reverend D Witchell. The secretariat was Ms N Merry (Senior Church Buildings Officer), Dr Kirsten Claiden-Yardley (Assistant Church Buildings Officer), and Ms Christine Fenn (Historic Churches Support Officer).

OXFORD DIOCESAN COMMUNICATIONS AND THE DOOR ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Director of Communications: Sarah Meyrick Costs 2015: £259,600 Chair of Communications Strategy Group: Archdeacon of Buckingham 1.1% of the total budget

For all of 2015 we were in vacancy for a diocesan bishop, something that naturally changed the flavour of the work of the Communications Team. The unexpected failure of the Crown Nominations Commission to nominate a new Bishop in May meant that we did not spend time supporting the announcement, induction and welcome of our Bishop as anticipated in our 2015 work-plan.

Nonetheless much of our usual work continued. This includes working with the media. We responded to 148 media queries from local, regional and national media, a figure significantly lower than usual, reflecting the vacancy. We supported our Bishops, archdeacons and a number of parishes and schools on dealing with the media. This includes managing sensitive clergy cases, with associated media implications and the risk of reputational damage.

New media The diocesan website had 124,051 unique visitors and 653,080 page views in 2015. We have 2898 followers on Twitter and a well-used Facebook page. During Lent 2015 we ran the #washday campaign, encouraging people to transform their communities with an act of washing, linked to Maundy Thursday. This was taken up as a national campaign.

Internal communications We regularly advise DCH colleagues on communications of all kinds. At the end of 2015 our e-news had 3,000 subscribers and its feedback shows that it is well used by subscribers. The e-news is issued weekly, with occasional ‘e-news extra’ bulletins for exceptional news items. We put a considerable amount of effort into internal communications as a tool to inform and update staff about our move from Diocesan Church House to new premises. We also contributed to the design and development of the Reception space in the new offices, doing our best to create a space that enables staff to deliver the best possible welcome and hospitality to visitors.

The Door The Door came out 11 times. It has a circulation of 32,000. We are hugely grateful to our volunteer distributors who ensure the Door reaches churches across the diocese.

Publications Publications we worked on include further Visitation News (for churchwardens), the diocesan calendar, and the CMD brochure.

Other areas of work We continue to work supporting wedding shows in the Dorchester Area and attended a number of shows to promote church weddings. We developed a series of communications toolkits to enable communications development in our deaneries. As part of this project we delivered training sessions in six deaneries.

Staffing During 2015 the Reception team became fully embedded into the Communications team. We welcomed Ruth Hamilton-Jones as our morning Receptionist/administrative assistant. In recognition of the vacancy, the Director of Communications reduced her hours working for ODBF to four days a week, and from June 2015 was seconded for one of these days to the Cathedral to assist with their communications.

This is achieved through the work of the chaplains in leading worship together with their pastoral ministry with deaf people, and through working with hearing people to develop good pastoral ministry and strategies to support the deaf and hard of hearing people in their parishes.

The chaplaincy team is assisted by a team of volunteers who maintain the ongoing spiritual and pastoral care of the deaf, hard of hearing, deafened and deaf-blind people. When appropriate we lobby government and synods on behalf of the deaf and hard of hearing. We hold a respected partnership with the social services in all three counties, as we share in the care of deaf people through regular meetings.

The ODCD officers and staff team meet regularly to oversee the day-to-day working of this ministry, and the full council meets three times a year in venues across the diocese. Our Pastoral Administrative Officer (PAO) organises training and co-ordination of volunteers (who are overseen by chaplains) as part of general administration. Our Finance Officer of many years’ experience left us as he both married and moved to another diocese, whilst our Pastoral Administrative Officer Elanor left us for a post at OUP. Their generous contributions were greatly appreciated. We were then able to offer a combination of the two posts presenting a more stable (and efficient) half-time post, to which Fiona was appointed. We wished both John and Elanor well, and welcomed Fiona.

After all the attempts to fill the vacancy for the half-time chaplain over the years, we widely advertised for a half-time pioneer chaplain role, nationally, regionally and locally within the diocese, but no applications were received. The pioneer aspect is required in order to develop a way forward with the younger deaf who are currently invisible to ODCD and, indeed, much of the church.

We make efforts to reach the deaf and hard of hearing of all ages throughout the diocese, but our popular sponsored day for the young deaf did not happen this year due to availability of teacher time. Our website was upgraded to offer a more interactive site, which has proved popular.

Only one church has applied for grants towards installation of loop systems. We still operate on a deficit budget, but in the continuing economic climate this is necessary to preserve our service to deaf people, making grants and donations received valuable to us. The ODBF Contribution is £6,700 per annum, plus stipend and employment expenses of up to two half-time (one full time equivalent) senior chaplains.

OXFORD DIOCESAN COMMITTEE FOR INTERFAITH RELATIONS ANNUAL REPORT 2015

(Formerly Diocesan Committee for Interfaith Concerns) Chairman: Archdeacon of Oxford, Martin Gorick Costs 2015: £600

Aims A revised constitution and name for the Committee was ratified by Diocesan Synod on March 26 2015. The Aims of the Committee for Interfaith Relations were agreed as:

1. To support, resource and enable individuals, churches and clergy in Presence and Engagement parishes 2. To keep members of the Diocese aware of other faith communities, and to enable and encourage constructive engagement with them 3. To be a forum in which interfaith concerns, as they affect the Diocese, can be explored.

Membership The committee consists of lay and ordained members representing interfaith work and groups from the four episcopal areas. Some members are elected representatives of Diocesan Synod. Thanks are due to all members who give so generously of their time. The revision of the constitution will allow the inclusion of some new members in 2016.

Meetings There were three committee meetings in 2015. The business of the Committee included the review of interfaith work in the diocese through reports from members engaged in the four episcopal areas, the planning of training and other events and the encouragement of contact and liaison among those engaged in dialogue and shared work across the faiths. In addition members of the committee ran events, attended conferences, and arranged regular meetings for clergy in Presence and Engagement parishes, including an open meeting with the journalist Ines Bowen. Members of the Committee led a presentation and discussion on interfaith issues in the diocese at Diocesan Synod in March, and were also able to introduce Mark Poulson, Inter-Religious Affairs Adviser to the Archbishop of Canterbury and Church of England.

Education and Training A major work of the Committee during the year was the encouragement of education and training for clergy and laity. The Committee has again undertaken the provision of an annual five day ‘Themed Study Week’ on interfaith encounter for ordinands at Ripon College Cuddesdon. This included visits to a Hindu temple and Upton Court Grammar in Slough, a Sikh Gurdwara in Maidenhead and a Mosque in High Wycombe. Valuable discussions were held with members of those faith communities as well as with local churches and their leaders. Students and staff value these highly and thanks are due to members of the Committee who freely give so much of their time to make them happen. We are looking to arrange a Continuing Ministerial Development (CMD) Day for Diocesan clergy along similar lines in 2016/7. Hugh Boulter and Jo Fageant helped to organise a successful day conference in Winchester on ‘The Place of Faith in British Schools’ with the South East Faiths Forum.

National Contacts Martin Gorick is the Interfaith Advisor (IFA) for Oxford Diocese and attended the day conference for IFAs from around the country in Lambeth Palace. He is also taking part in the Senior Faith Leadership Programme at Windsor, along with other Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders from the faith and charitable sectors.

Invitations Members of the Committee are always happy to respond to invitations to meet and speak with Deanery Synods and Chapters and to offer advice to parishes or clergy. Please contact the Chair, Martin Gorick, in the first instance.

OXFORD DIOCESAN BOARD OF EDUCATION ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Chairman: The Right Revd Alan Wilson Costs 2015: £244,100 Vice Chair: The Revd Mary Harwood 1.1% of the total budget Director: Mrs Anne Davey

The Board was successfully reconstituted in the light of recommendations from the National Society, the change in diocesan structure from three archdeaconries to four and the changing responsibilities of the Diocesan Boards of Education. The percentage of board members co-opted for their skillset has increased, and the percentage elected is now lower than under the previous constitution. The total number of members was reduced to a maximum 22, resulting in a smaller, more skills-focused Board with an emphasis on streamlining and ensuring board members have the requisite skills to work effectively.

We have amended our advice to schools seeking to convert to academy status in light of the new Education and Adoption Bill. Our new Academy Policy has been implemented to encourage maintained schools to form or join a multi-academy trust (MAT). This was done to try to ensure that sufficient strong partnerships of church schools will be formed in the near future allowing schools formally to work together to share good and outstanding practice, and thereby support one another to improve. The intention is to encourage schools to create large enough economic bodies to enable them better to survive in the current climate of austerity funding.

It is also driven by a commitment to establish strong MATs which may be in a position to support a school in need at a future point, and to encourage schools to make their own choices about academy destination while the full range of freedoms is available to them. Two new multi-academy trusts were established in 2015, both collaborations with church and community schools together, and eight new schools joined The Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust.

We have identified as a strategic priority the need to support governance in our schools. All our maintained schools completed the reconstitution of their Instruments of Government by September 2015. We have purchased and implemented additional modules to our management information system to enable us to improve the tracking of governor appointments to ensure the best possible quality of information, especially to those members of staff who are not office-based. We have devised and implemented a new training programme for governors, Excellence in Governance, and a programme for chairs, The Right Programme. Uptake in 2015 was good, feedback was excellent and the total number of attendees at governor training courses has more than doubled since last year. We have also introduced a governance review process which schools can access as part of our Menu of Additional Services, launched this year.

A closer working pattern with parishes and clergy was developed as the priority area in the context of the archdeaconry plans; and area deans were also being consulted. Members of the advisory team have attended deanery meetings to further strengthen parish links and build on this work. New clergy and PCC newsletters have been produced to improve communication for both mailing and email.

We were delighted to see the completion of the new buildings for the expanded St Edburg’s school in Bicester and Bletchingdon School. This has increased the number of church primary school places in the area by over 300. The premises team have managed capital grants for 51 building improvement and repair projects across our other schools.

DIOCESAN GLEBE AND BUILDINGS COMMITTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Chairman: Mr Robin Birch Buildings Net Costs 2015: £3,506,600 Director of Glebe & Buildings: Mr David Mason 15.2% of total budget Glebe Net Income 2015: £3,363,100 14.1% of total income

Number of meetings All the following committees met on three occasions during the year: the Glebe Committee, Buildings Management & Strategy Committee, the Berkshire, Oxford, Dorchester and Buckinghamshire Archdeaconry Sub-Committees. The New Projects Group met twice in the year.

Committee Membership Revd K Davis, Revd C Overton and Mrs C Hilliard all ceased to be members of the Buildings Committee last year. Newly elected members of the Buildings Committee include Revd C Bull, Revd C Sykes, Revd J St John Nicolle, Ms C Kallipetis, Mr H Gibbon and Mr E Weiss. During the year we welcomed Mr J Twynam, Mr J MacNamara and Mr S Atkinson to the Glebe Committee; all serve as regional lay representatives filling vacancies arising in 2014.

Repairs and Maintenance 91 Quinquennial Surveys and related works were completed during the year. The overall costs have been maintained within budget and the planned maintenance programme for the year completed (bar a few minor projects). The latter included 25 boiler replacements, 17 kitchens, 12 bathrooms, and 16 houses with window replacements.

Green Energy Clergy in 55 vicarages with solar panels continue to receive subsidised electricity, and the diocese receives Feed-in Tariff receipts returning well over 10% on our original investment. We also generate income, and electricity for the National Grid, from the new wind turbine at Quarrendon.

Glebe Transactions Four disposals completed, generating £269k gross, and two promotion agreements a further £67k. A planning application for 280 homes in Haddenham was approved but then called in by the Secretary of State. Bodicote Glebe is part of a recent planning application for 280 homes. Potential development sites are continuing to be investigated in Waddesdon and Milton Keynes; plus a significant disposal near Bicester.

Schools Projects The Development section worked on a lower volume of schools projects during the year, in part due to funding uncertainties during the general election. Fee income of over £130,000 was generated for the department, and in addition invaluable fee income for the DBE.

Purchases and Sales We completed the purchase of five properties, of which three are ‘new communities’ houses for pioneer ministers at a cost of £1.94 million. During the year we sold eight vicarages that were either surplus or no longer fit for purpose; the sales totalled £4.02 million.

Diocesan Offices We completed the purchase of our new HQ in Kidlington at a cost of £2.55 million plus VAT. At the end of the year we awarded a contract for the refurbishment and fitting out of the offices. Our existing offices at North Hinksey were marketed for sale, with conditional offers just over £3 million being received at the end of the year. In addition we identified a possible office in Theale to purchase for the Berkshire Area team.

Housing Development During the year we completed construction of a new vicarage in Banbury. Planning permission was secured to improve sub-standard properties in Didcot and Yarnton. Planning was also secured for a new vicarage at Chinnor, although we have had to resubmit applications for Thatcham and Watlington. During the year we completed the Whitchurch (Bucks) Church Hall Project, which enables us to sell the old vicarage and two house plots in 2016.

Asset Valuation The Land Registry house price index for our region showed an increase of 9.5% in house values in 2015, reflecting the nationwide growth in house prices during the year. In view of the increased Stamp Duty Land Tax burden on higher value properties, we scaled back the increase in value on many of our higher value properties as part of our impairment review process.

OXFORD DIOCESAN BOARD OF MISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Chairman: The Bishop of Oxford Costs 2015: £1,648,500 Director: Andrew Anderson-Gear 7.1% of the total budget

The Board of Mission elected in 2012 met three times during the year. The goal of the Board of Mission is to enable our diocese, archdeaconries, deaneries, benefices and parishes to plan for, resource and implement holistic mission in line with the Living Faith vision of the diocese. Subgroups of the Board met regularly to ensure governance of the wide range of activities undertaken by staff members who continue to work together in an interdisciplinary fashion in pursuit of holistic mission. The most significant staff development during the year was the appointment of Revd Canon Michael Beasley as Bishop of Hertford. His consecration in May was attended by staff in the department and we are thankful for all that Michael brought to the department during his time as Director. Following a long-term period of sick leave, Revd Jules Cave Bergquist, Diocesan Director of Ordinands, left her role in March 2015. In October, we were delighted to be able to appoint Revd Caroline Windley to that role. Caroline had previously been Assistant Director of Ordinands and Vocations Development Adviser in the Buckingham archdeaconry. The DDO team was further depleted with Revd Amanda Bloor and both the DDO Administrators, Beverley Jane and Helen Walker, leaving at the end of the year. In December, Andrew Anderson-Gear took up post as the new Director of Mission, having previously been the Parish Development Adviser for the Buckingham Archdeaconry and prior to that the Diocesan Youth Adviser. The Director role has been reshaped from the previous appointment, with a greater emphasis on the strategic development and response of the department to the agreed diocesan priorities and Archdeaconry Plans. Advisers work across the diocese engaging with individuals, benefices, parishes, deaneries and archdeaconries and with statutory and civil society organisations as needed/requested. Most are based at Church House; others work from elsewhere and often part-time. The Board of Mission monitors, supports and develops work in the areas of: • Evangelism and the deepening of discipleship • Children’s and youth ministry, leader training and safeguarding • Christian giving and fundraising • Vocations work and discernment work and the support of ordinands during their training • Adult lay education and the training and care of Licensed Lay Ministers (LLMs), other authorised lay ministers and candidates for ordination on the Local Ministry Programme • Initial and continuing ministerial education for licensed and ordained ministers • Supporting parishes on planning and development and management of times of transition • Supporting social action, community engagement, and work on pastoral care, spiritual care of older people and health issues • Supporting parish and diocesan engagement with rural affairs, world development, environmental issues and ministry in areas of economic deprivation • Enabling the development of churches and ministry in new areas of housing • Supporting the development of prayer with spirituality in people and churches around the diocese.

The major focus of the Board’s work in 2015 was: • Leading Your Church into Growth. The third Diocesan event was held at High Leigh and was again fully booked. Held in May, the conference had 106 attendees (Berkshire 55, Buckingham 13, Dorchester 29, Oxford 2) This included 7 participants from our link Diocese of Vaxjo. 21

• In June, the LLM Conference took place at the Milton Park Hotel near Didcot and was attended by more than 140 LLMs. The keynote speaker was Revd John Leach from the Diocese of Lincoln. LLMs and members of the diocesan staff ran a wide range of workhops. Bishop Andrew Proud became Warden during 2015. • The department is actively supporting through staff time and funding the Berkshire Archdeaconry Partnership for Missional Church pilot process which launched in June. The three- year process is supporting 21 churches across 10 benefices/parishes. The focus is on achieving substantial cultural change as local churches discern their missional focus and priorities, known within PMC as ‘God’s promised and preferred future’. There is considerable anticipation within the archdeaconry as to what may emerge and whether the process should be encouraged in other archdeaconries in 2017. • ‘Mend the Gap’ in October was a significant piece of work from the Youth, Children and Safeguarding Team helping churches ‘mend the gap’ between them and young people. There were over 120 participants, and very positive feedback. The team picked up useful follow-up opportunities from the day. The offer exists to take a condensed version of the event to deaneries as a piece of interactive training.

Other highlights of the year included: • The new Formation Criteria agreed by the House of Bishops for curates have been successfully introduced for all the 2015 intake and for several of the 2014 who indicated their wish to transfer. The new simplified assessment process introduced in conjunction with the Formation Criteria has been positively received by curates and their training incumbents. 25 new deacons started on the Initial Ministerial Education (Part 2) Programme in September 2015. The total number included in the programme at the end of 2015 was 86. • We continued the implementation of the new Common Awards for our LLM, ordinands and curate training. • Safeguarding training, normative for all clergy, commenced in May 2014 and has since been rolled out on a continuous cycle. This is a major shift of policy for our diocese and it is expected that it will take some time before training has been undertaken universally. The rolling programme of safeguarding training for clergy and also employed youth, children’s, family and pastoral care workers continues. There are separate programmes for LLMs, curates and those in training for ordained and licensed ministry. The programme will require review to meet the requirements in the recently issued Practice Guidance: Safeguarding Learning and Development Framework. • Publications on loneliness (Loneliness: Accident or Injustice), and end of life issues (Living Well in the End Times: A Christian Resource to Support People in Making Peace with the Prospect of Death) were produced by the Mission in the World Team, with well attended conferences on both themes. • Much work was undertaken on climate change in preparation for the Paris climate talks (training with Hope for the Future, material in The Door, encouraging churches to engage with the Pray and Fast campaign). There was also a successful visit by Heather Steenkamp, our partner from Kimberley and Kuruman, to see how our two dioceses can share experiences and learning on economic justice issues that affect us both. • Vocations Advisers met with 122 new enquirers across the Diocese, of whom 72 were referred on for a variety of different ministries in the church. In the academic year 2014/15 32 people went to Bishops’ Advisory Panels, of whom 30 were recommended for training. We ordained 25 new Deacons at Petertide, (12 of whom are self-supporting), a further 7 were deployed to the national church. A number of vocations events and enquirers groups took place around the diocese, including a day specifically to encourage young vocations.

• The DDO team have been widely involved in a series of consultations relating to the Reform and Renewal Agenda (particularly the RME report); through the RTP, the DDO consultation, and with Ministry Division. The final conclusions are currently unknown but will have significant implications for the diocese. • Fourteen people were selected for LLM ministry with 12 licensed during the year. • During the year there were 450 bookings for 31 courses on the Local Ministry Programme, of which 322 bookings were from people not training for licensed ministry. • The Rural Strategy Group continued to meet. In February, over 100 people attended ‘Lightening the Load’, designed to explore possibilities for reducing the administrative burden on local churches. Working with other departments including Education and Communications, a range of strategies are being devised to enhance the rural church. • Consultation with the Board of Mission and Bishop’s staff led to the development of clear agreement about the purpose and ongoing focus of CMD provision across the diocese. • Consultations and training with parishes and deaneries in mission, youth and children’s work, stewardship, rural issues, response to the economic crisis and a wide range of other areas. • Support for churchwardens in their key role was provided by the holding of six training days across the archdeaconries. • Promotion of the National Funerals Project involved sessions led by Revd Canon Dr Sandra Miller, attended by over 90 people, and articles in The Door. • The biennial rural forum, The Changing Face of the Village, was a major event and will lead to other items of work in 2016. About 40+ rural benefices were represented on the day.

OXFORD DIOCESAN MOTHERS’ UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Diocesan President: Gillian Johnson Costs 2015: Nil

The start of the year 2015 saw the appointment of our new Mothers' Union Diocesan Development Officer, Steve Jenkins. After very careful consideration the trustees had agreed the appointment. Our aim was for Steve to create greater liaison with the clergy in the diocese, especially where MU may have been in past years, as well as to publicise and encourage more in-depth knowledge of the Mothers' Union in parishes who had never considered the thought of MU. Steve has been actively speaking to clergy and also publicising MU regularly in The Door, as well as creating new eye-catching posters, and we have seen a slightly smaller decline in membership this year. Sadly the trend has not yet totally reversed, but we are all actively working to that end. We moved to our new MU diocesan office at CMS House on February 1st, but sadly our loyal secretary decided to retire at the end of May. Our office is no longer in central Oxford. However, it is to be hoped that in time we can be rehoused within the Cathedral or, alternatively, in the new diocesan offices. CMS are very kind, but our rent is high! I am pleased to report that our new secretary, Eve, started working for us on September 1st, and she is proving to be a great asset, anxious to learn all she can about MU. Our former Chaplain, Revd Heather Parbury, retired from her role as Chaplain in March and, at a service on Lady Day, Revd Lady Denise Brown was commissioned as our new Chaplain. We had a Quiet Day for trustees in the spring, a weekend Retreat for members in May, and in September another Quiet Day for all. These times are vital to our prayer life and give us the strength and encouragement to go forward. Our MU work continues in the John Radcliffe hospital, befriending the parents of very sick children and supplying "extras" to make their stay in the parents' rooms a little more comfortable. The memory keepsakes of hand or foot are much treasured by the the parents of a deceased child. For several years, Reading Deanery have supported the Royal Berkshire hospital with toiletries for those patients who arrive unprepared in an emergency situation. This need continues and is gratefully appreciated. Members supply 1500 Christmas cards to the Chaplain at HMP Bullingdon to enable him to give every inmate a greeting at Christmas. The cards are all signed ‘from a member of the Mothers' Union in the Oxford diocese’ and left unsealed for the prison to vet. We also do similarly for Mothering Sunday at the same institution. Requests from parishes for our resource ‘Praying through the day’, aimed to help baptism families, continues, and a call to our secretary for more copies is all that is needed. ‘Fiddle Pinnies’ made by our resourceful members are very well received by residents in dementia care homes, and the variety of engaging designs never ceases to amaze me; some are almost tailor-made for individual residents. A new request from a neonatal unit was for thin-material mats to place in the incubator of very premature babies, and members have once more risen to the challenge and made a good supply. We continue to distribute recipe cards through food banks, which are always welcome. We had a busy year with referrals for the ‘Away From It All’ holiday scheme - 25 adults and 41 children had a good break. It has been a very busy year, but throughout, as I have visited branches, I have seen a great deal of Faith, Fun and Fellowship. My term in office ended at the close of 2015, and we welcome Alison Bennett as our next President for the coming triennium. Please support her with your prayers.

PARENTS AND CHILDREN TOGETHER (PACT) - THE OXFORD DIOCESAN COUNCIL FOR SOCIAL WORK ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Chair of Trustees: Mr Jim Brown Costs 2015: £95,000 Chief Executive: Mrs Jan Fishwick 0.4% of the total budget

Annual summary Supporting vulnerable families has been at the core of PACT’s services since it was set up by the Diocese of Oxford more than 100 years ago, and remains the focus today through adoption and fostering services, therapeutic support and community projects.

Adoption and Fostering Services  99 UK children were placed with 78 families  93 adoption orders were made with 70 families (children placed within UK)  111 adoption orders were granted – UK and children from overseas  137 couples or single people applied to become approved adopters, to adopt from overseas or to become foster carers  132 couples or single people were approved to adopt or foster  Of these, 34 couples or single people have black, mixed or minority ethnic heritage  Of 127 children who were placed (all placement types), 71 are boys and 56 are girls.  Of these, 49 children are in sibling groups, 16 children are over five years old, and 52 children have black, mixed or minority ethnic heritage  Of 127 children placed, 16 children from overseas were placed with UK families (of which 7 are boys and 9 are girls)  1313 hours of post-placement support were received by PACT families to help avoid adoption breakdown through our therapeutic support services (FACTS), which delivered support including play therapy, courses of therapy, assessments and parenting courses.  Over 100 PACT families attended family fun days to meet and share experiences with other adoptive and fostering families.

Community projects  Justice. PACT’s award-winning community project for women continues to receive new referrals from women with complex needs who have reached crisis point. Alana House supports an average of 70 women per month and helps them to turn their lives around and become contributing members of society.  Domestic Abuse. PACT’s Bounce Back 4 Kids (BB4K) programme for children and parents who have been victims or witnesses of domestic abuse has achieved excellent outcomes and there are plans to extend the service which currently operates in Oxfordshire and West Berkshire into Wokingham. PACT supported 61 children and their non-abusing parent through the BB4K programme in 2015 and hopes to support even more vulnerable families in 2016.

We are all part of the Body of Christ working to increase the life chances of individuals, children and families across the diocese. For further information about PACT’s work please telephone 0300 456 4800 or visit our website, www.pactcharity.org.

OXFORD DIOCESAN COUNCIL FOR PARTNERSHIP IN WORLD MISSION

Chairman: The Bishop of Reading Costs 2015: £26,000 Secretary: The Revd Canon Robert Teare 0.1% of the total budget

The Council for Partnership for World Mission (PWM) met on three occasions in 2015, including two council meetings and the residential. Our work facilitates exploration of discipleship alongside other members of the world church, focusing on our diocesan links, partnerships with mission agencies, and reflection with deaneries and parishes engaged in world mission.

The Nandyal link committee, now chaired by the Revd Dr Graeme Fancourt, is working on a new vision and strategy to grow our partnership. The Chair hosted Bishop Pushpa in the summer when she came on a visit sponsored by the United Society and has been preparing for a small group to visit in 2016 to explore further our aim of sharing in prayer and joint work on ministry and discipleship.

The Kimberley and Kuruman (K & K) link saw examples of close collaboration in ministry at both parish and diocesan levels. The Acting Head of St Cyprian's Cathedral School visited Christ Church Cathedral and School, other diocesan schools and Department of Education staff, exploring common challenges and ways to meet them. Other parish-to-parish links also shared visits, and Huhudi and Moulsford put together a proposal for sharing in “Rooted in Jesus.” Archdeacon Olivia, the link Chair, and Maranda St John Nicolle, the PWM Project Officer, visited Kimberley and Kuruman to review progress on parish projects and the work of the Social Development Officer, which the K & K Projects Fund continues to support; Archdeacon Olivia also initiated work via the Culham St Gabriel Trust to assist with clergy and lay training and religious education. Heather Steenkamp, the Social Development Officer, visited our diocese, spending time with churches and initiatives whose work here parallels hers.

The partnership with Växjö continues to grow and develop. Canon Tony Dickinson represented this diocese at events marking the retirement of Bishop Jan-Olof Johansson at Easter. Bishop Andrew represented the Church of England at the consecration of Bishop Fredrik Modéus in Uppsala on Low Sunday. A number of new parish-to-parish links are in the early stages of formation. In October members of Växjö’s diocesan board accompanied by diocesan staff made a successful visit exploring Anglican approaches to rural ministry.

Wider European concerns include monitoring the continuing refugee crisis, especially in Greece, and preparations for “Reformation 500”, including the Kirchentag to be held in Berlin in May 2017 with a final service of celebration in Lutherstadt Wittenberg. Towards the year’s end, we began to consider responses to the EU referendum.

The Secretary of PWM prepared a short course, Acts of Love, “to help us think about the world we live in and to offer five small acts of love that all of us can offer to our communities.” Designed originally for Lent, but relevant for other times as well, the course draws on examples from a number of countries and contexts.

Our residential looked at climate change and mission; it was the impetus for the “Reading Climate Day” in December, inspired by the Chair, organised by the Revd Liz Ratcliffe, and drawing on the resources of PWM agencies and others.

The PWM Project Officer began a programme of visiting Area Deans and deanery chapters/synods to explore what their mission needs and priorities are and how resources on world issues and world church offered by PWM and the Dept of Mission could assist them in meeting their goals.

We would like to thank our retired members for their service and look forward to the new triennium.

OXFORD DIOCESAN BOARD OF PATRONAGE ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Chairman: Revd Christopher Leslie Costs 2015: £100 Hon Secretary: Revd Prof Brian Griffiths

1. Board membership The Board is constituted under provisions of the Patronage (Benefices) Measure 1986. It has five lay and three clerical members elected for six years. The present Board took office on January 1st 2013. The Bishop is, ex-officio, a member of the Board. The Archdeacon, Area Dean and Lay Chair of the relevant Deanery Synod are members of the Board for the purpose of transacting business relating to a particular benefice within their Archdeaconry or Deanery.

2. Meetings The elected members of the Board met twice during the year. The Revd Trevor Maines retired as secretary and the Revd Brian Griffiths was appointed Secretary in September 2015.

3. Board Patronage The Board has the sole patronage of 16 benefices and the joint patronage of 30. These are broken down as:

 Berks: 10 sole, 4 joint, total 14 (comprising 22 parishes)  Bucks: 4 sole, 8 joint, total 12 (comprising 23 parishes)  Dorchester: 1 sole, 18 joint, total 19 (comprising 77 parishes)  Oxford: 1 sole, 0 joint, total 1 (comprising 1 parish)

The above takes account of the creation of the new archdeaconry and the consequent movement of parishes between archdeaconries. It should be noted that these are always changing numbers due mainly to parish reorganisation, but also changes in patronage.

4. Appointments in 2015 During the year the following appointments were made:  Cherbury & Gainsfield: Talisker Tracey-Macleod – Rector  St Peter, Earley: Philip Hobday – Vicar  St Peter, Earley: Hannah Hobday - Associate Vicar  Radley, Sunningwell & Kennington: Alison Matthew - Associate Minister  Chinnor, Sydenham, Aston Rowant with Crowell: Maggie Thorne - Rector

The following vacancy procedures were initiated but were still ongoing at the end of the 2015 year:  Ducklington  Watling Valley

The Board has been consulted about various developments, re-organisation schemes, etc in several parishes where it has an interest due to its patronage. The Board has been represented on the Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Committee by the Chairman and on the Archdeaconry Mission and Pastoral Committees by various members of the Board. Members of the Board seek to keep in general contact with those parishes where it has patronage through informal links by members of the Board.

5. Finance Expenses vary according to the number of vacancies in a year. These consist of the expenses of members attending meetings of the Board, attending meetings in connection with appointments and the administrative costs of printing, postage and telephone, etc. 27

DIOCESAN TRUSTEES (OXFORD) LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Chairman: Mr T W Peter Bridges Costs 2015: £98,100 Secretary: Rosemary Pearce 0.4% of the total budget Trusts Administrator: Caroline Dyer

Diocesan Trustees (Oxford) Ltd [DT(O)L] is a charitable company established to hold property on behalf of ecclesiastical charities, such as Parochial Church Councils (PCCs) and Incumbent and Churchwarden trusts. DT(O)L might also be appointed to be the Custodian Trustee by the Trust Deed or a Charity Commission Scheme. In holding property on behalf of local Trustees, DT(O)L provides a continuity and permanent succession; e.g. there is no need to draw up a new Deed of Appointment with every change of individual trustees; original information about trusts and deeds is normally kept at Church House Oxford by the Trusts Administrator. In 2015 DT(O)L met three times and its investment committee met twice.

The Trusts Administrator carries out the day-to-day administration and is available to assist Managing Trustees to meet their legal obligations in respect of property trusts, e.g. providing guidance when a property is to be purchased, let or sold, and in respect of financial trusts can assist trustees with obtaining consent to amend uses of income or to spend capital as if it were income. One member of the Finance Department provides accountancy work on a part-time basis.

DT(O)L acts as a trustee in the following ways:

• It is the Diocesan Authority under the PCC (Powers) Measure 1956 and the Incumbents and Churchwardens (Trusts) Measure 1964, both as amended by the Ecclesiastical Property Measure 2015. Under these Measures, the Diocesan Authority holds interests in land and personal property that is permanent endowment. The management of such trusts lies with the Managing Trustee(s). A wide variety of property is vested in the Diocesan Authority. In respect of this, Managing Trustees may not sell, lease, let, exchange, charge or take legal proceedings in relation to such property without the consent of the Diocesan Authority, unless the transaction attracts a premium payment of £250,000 or less. Financial trusts totalled 712 at 31 December 2015 (719 at 31.12.2014) with a total value of £46,661,171 (2014: £46,761,851).

• It has undertaken to act as Custodian Trustee at the request of the Managing Trustee(s).

• It is the sole trustee of the trust fund for church schools in the Diocese of Oxford, known as the Church Schools Uniform Statutory Trust and set up under Sections 2 and 86 of the Education Act 1944, Section 2 of the 1973 Act and Section 554 of the 1996 Act. The trust fund arises from the sale proceeds or rent of closed schools and schoolhouses in the Diocese. DT(O)L regularly reviews the investments of this trust in line with the Statement of Investment Principles, which is usually subject to annual review. DT(O)L has a duty to consult Oxford Diocesan Board of Education (ODBE) on the expenditure of this trust fund, reviewing applications for grant support of the work of ODBE and grants to support building projects of Voluntary Aided Schools in the Diocese. In 2015 grants to support ODBE totalled £557,000; no building grants were given (2014:£0).

• The Company is also sole trustee of 7 small parochial or educational trusts.

The total value of the Trusts under the 3rd and 4th bulleted paragraphs above at 31.12.2015 was £7,721,127 (2014: £ 7,389,179) which is included in DT(O)L’s Statutory Report and Accounts. Managing Trustees of the other trusts, for which DT(O)L is the custodian or Diocesan Authority, are responsible for annual reporting and accounts and receive an annual Statement of Funds.

A full set of statutory accounts for the year is available via the Diocesan website or otherwise on request from the Trusts Administrator. 28
