  • 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.

For there is born to you this day in the City of David, a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.” (St Luke 2.10 + 11 NKJV) It is with joy, we greet you this Christmas 2019!

They are there for us to see and to receive. Since my Consecration in 2014 we have been working towards our Five Year Development Plan for Pastoral Care and Social Services. We rejoice as these five years near completion that God is doing His miraculous in the hearts of many people, in many ways and in many places in our Diocese. I bring you news of our Diocese and our people from this year past. Pastoral care: now in 2019 we see the many ways that God has blessed us.

  • Cycle of Prayer
    Cycle of Prayer 12 January 2020 - 09 May 2020 Diocese of Chester Key: C = Clergy LM = Licensed Lay Minister (Reader) (Pastoral Worker) (Youth Worker) Diocesan entries from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer are in italics. Chester Diocesan Board of Finance. Church House, 5500 Daresbury Park, Daresbury, Warrington WA4 4GE. Tel: 01928 718834 Chester Diocesan Board of Finance is a company limited by guarantee registered in England (no. 7826) Registered charity (no. 248968) Foreword Who will you be praying for in 2020? No surprises if I tell you I’m praying for the next Bishop of Chester. I will use some of the prayers prepared for the diocese and found on the website and I hope to go to one of the prayer meetings arranged for us to pray together. I hope I will be praying on my own in my own words, sometimes not using words at all, experiencing what St Paul says in Romans 8.26: ‘Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.’ Have a look at Psalm 34. I’ve been listening to a wonderful gospel setting of the Psalm from the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir which you can find on YouTube. Go back to the words of just this one psalm; notice the emotive language: ‘I will bless the Lord at all times;’ ‘O magnify the Lord with me, let us exalt his name together;’ ‘O taste and see that the Lord is good.’ This is prayer coming from the heart, being expressed in praise, and not forgetting to express prayer as a ‘cry’: ‘When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hear,’ prayer offered because the psalmist knows, ‘the Lord is near the broken-hearted, and saves the crushed in spirit’ (Ps 34.18).

  • Diocese of Connor and the Rt Rev Alan Abernethy
    Diocese of Armagh Diocesan Cycle of Prayer 2017 (incorporating Anglican Cycle of Prayer) Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Once again, The Armagh Diocesan Cycle of Prayer for 2017 is presented in a similar format to previous years. It seems that although we retain the same familiar format, many of the names change, representing the changing life and ministries within our diocese. We welcome those who have joined us as clergy and readers, and wish God’s blessing to those who have retired or left for pastures new. This year also sees several changes in parish groupings, also reflected in this cycle of prayer. I would like to thank our Diocesan Communications Officer, Jonathan Hull, for his updated clergy lists on the diocesan website, and for hosting this information online. I have also included Holy Days on the Sunday on which they occur. Those that occur during the week are shown in brackets on the Sunday during which week they occur. Included in this edition are days through Holy Week, Ascension-tide, and throughout Advent and Christmas. The prayers for the Anglican Communion are adapted from ‘The Anglican Cycle of Prayer 2017’. I have included selected information that I feel may inform our prayers. Due to the constant changes in posts held throughout the world-wide church, almost any publication can be out of date even before it is published. The posts held by individuals mentioned in this publication are correct as of published date.
