My main priority now is to do my level best to keep every single one of you in my prayers, and to try to keep us ‘together’ even as we are forced to be apart, so that when we can eventually return to our beloved church to praise God together, we do so as a united community. I have found myself helped in this ‘holding in prayer’ by the practice of the Company of Mission Priests of which I am a member. We are a ‘dispersed’ community of single priests serving in parishes from the North East to the South coast – and we can only meet together as a Company once a year, at our General Chapter in Walsingham. But, for the remaining 51 weeks of the year, we pray for each other every day, by name, and that really does make an enormous and tangible difference to us a community – so, I ask you to do the same… pray for each other by name every day. Another way of keeping us together is the offering of the Eucharist which will continue every Sunday at 10am and on Holy Days as announced. For the time being, I will have to celebrate the Eucharist alone in the Vicarage – and I can promise you that I find that an extremely strange thing to do. This Eucharist will be ‘broadcast’ via You Tube (thanks to Matthew Price) and can be seen either on the internet (on your smart phones or tablets as well as computers) or, if your television uses Virgin media, on channel 198. I hope that as many of you as possible will join in this Act of Worship in your own homes, and set aside that time for God, as you would if you were coming to church normally. The strangeness of celebrating in this way is for me, only mitigated by knowing that many of you are deriving some comfort from it. I also commend to every one of you the ‘Act of Spiritual Communion’, for which you will find a short ‘order’ after this letter. As the Book of Common Prayer instructs us, the intention to receive the Sacrament, even when physically unable to do so ensures that the grace which flows from the Sacrament is available to all. 5 I do need to say a word about money. As you might expect, the fact that we cannot meet weekly poses us with a tremendous financial challenge. Apart from those who give through the Parish Giving Scheme, or by standing order, our regular income has collapsed – but the ongoing bills that we have to pay haven’t. We are saving some money, of course, on heating and lighting etc., but we still have many other monthly bills to pay – not least the Parish Share. If you use the Planned Giving envelopes, please consider if you would be able to pay by bank Standing Order instead (I can provide you with the bank details as required), or if not, please can you deliver them to the Vicarage and I will ensure that they are banked properly. This is a profoundly challenging time for us all in all sorts of ways. We all have families to consider and care for as best we can. We must all take care of ourselves, and as the time passes, we must try not to give in to depression and despair. This WILL be over one day – nothing bad lasts forever. When we return, we will be different, as individuals and as a community. But, challenging though this season will be, it can be a time for real growth in our closeness to God in prayer and for a genuine rediscovery of what ‘community’ means for us in adversity. When we can eventually reclaim the church, there will be an inevitable time of sadness, especially if we have lost anyone, but the first Sunday we are back will be a real celebration of the Resurrection of the Lord. That day will be our Easter Day, and I hope that our “Alleluias” will ring our louder and more joyfully than ever! If there is anything you need, please do call me. With my love and prayers, 6 A simple Act of Spiritual Communion Take some time to sit quietly, gather your thoughts and prayers, and ask God to come to you. The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name; Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done. On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen Act of Contrition I love you, Jesus, my love above all things, and I repent with my whole heart of having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again, grant that I may love you always, and then do with me what you will. Act of Spiritual Reception In union, dear Father, with Christian people across the world and across the centuries gathered to make Eucharist, hearing your holy Word and receiving the Precious Body and Blood, I offer you praise and thanksgiving. Even though I am exiled from tasting the Bread of Heaven and drinking the Cup of Life I pray that you will unite me with all the baptised and with your Son who gave His life for us. Come, Lord Jesus, dwell in me, and send your Holy Spirit that I may be filled with your presence. O Lord and heavenly Father, we thy humble servants, having in remembrance the precious death and passion of thy dear Son, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension entirely desire thy fatherly goodness mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; most humbly beseeching thee to grant that by the merits and death of thy Son Jesus Christ, and through faith in his blood, we and all thy whole Church may obtain remission of our sins, and all benefits of his passion. Amen 7 NOTICES The Guild of Health & St Raphael The next meeting of The Guild of Health & St Raphael should be after the 7.30pm Eucharist on Tuesday, 28 April 2020. Elaine Wallwork and Pat Berry will offer Laying on of Hands during the service. However due to the current situation this will in all probability have to be cancelled. Everyone is welcome to receive Laying on of Hands with prayers for healing of body, mind and spirit for yourself or anyone else you name. Laying on of Hands is for everyone, not just members of the Guild.

  • Martyrology 12 09 19
    Martyrology An Anglican Martyrology - for the British Isles 1 of 160 Martyrology Introduction The base text is the martyrology compiled by Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB. Copyright © 2008 by the Monastery of the Ascension, Jerome, ID 83338 and available online at the website of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The calendars of each of the three Anglican churches of the British isles contain varied group commemorations, I suggest these entries are read only in the province where they are observed and have indicated that by the use of italics and brackets. However, people, particularly in the Church of England, are woefully ignorant of the history of the other Anglican churches of our islands and it would be good if all entries for the islands are used in each province. The Roman dates are also indicated where these vary from Anglican ones but not all those on the Roman Calendar have an entry. The introductions to the saints and celebrations in the Anglican calendars in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in Exciting Holiness, ed. Brother Tristam SSF, The Canterbury Press, 1997, have been added where a saint did not already appear in the martyrology. These have been adapted to indicate the place and date of death at the beginning, as is traditional at the reading of the martyrology. For the place of death I have generally relied on Wikipedia. For Irish, Welsh and Scottish celebrations not appearing in Exciting Holiness I have used the latest edition of Celebrating the Saints, Canterbury Press, 2004. These entries are generally longer than appear in martyrologies and probably need editing down even more than I have done if they are to be read liturgically.

It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds, which faith the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Spirit, it has borne witness to Christian truth in its historic formularies, the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, The Book of Common Prayer and the Ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons. In the declaration you are about to make will you affirm your loyalty to this inheritance of faith as your inspiration and guidance under God in bringing the grace and truth of Christ to this generation and making him known to those in your care?” Preface to the Declaration of Assent (Canon C15) These words introduce the Declaration of Assent which is made by those being commissioned for ordained and lay ministries in our church. They indicate the particular place which the Church of England inhabits in the life of this country. Our heritage is that of the Gospel handed down through the generations, but also the heritage of our ministry and our buildings, together with a substantial role in the nation’s public life.

  • Ann Gurney Ann Was Born in 1927 in Plumstead
    Ann Gurney 20 April, 2019 Photograph: Jim Grover Ann was born in 1927 in Plumstead; an only child. At the end of World War Two, aged 18, Ann spent three years at Gilmore House in Clapham, a Church of England training college for women originally founded in 1891 by Isabella Gilmore, who promoted the ministry of Deaconesses and who is now recognised by a wall plaque in Southwark Cathedral. Ann’s first parish role was in Walworth, where she spent five years on the staff at St Paul’s Church, Lorrimore Square. During that period Ann felt called to a life of ministry and so she returned to Gilmore House to train as a Deaconess [a ministry which was open to women who could not at this stage be ordained], which she became in 1954 at the age of 27. As a Deaconess she joined St John’s Church in Catford for two years, before becoming an assistant chaplain at a Church College of Education. In 1959, at the age of 32, Ann returned to Gilmore House but this time as its Principal, the ‘Head Deaconess’, a post she held for 11 years until the college’s closure in 1970. She then moved to the Diocese of London, where she became the Bishop’s adviser for Lay Ministry, and Head Deaconess, for 17 years, supporting women in their ministry until she reached the retirement age of 60 in 1987. 1987 marked the year in which women were first ordained as Deacons and so Ann was admitted to the Diaconate for, what seemed to her to be, the second time...one month before her retirement.

  • Introduction
    Introduction On behalf of the Trustees, I am pleased to present this, the fourth annual report of the Archbishops’ Council. In what proved to be another year of change, the Archbishops’ Council saw the largest renewal in its membership since it was established in 1999. We have been blessed since our establishment with people who are committed to serving God through their engagement with the Council and we give thanks for them. We are deeply grateful for the contributions of those members who have left and we are delighted to welcome the three new appointed members amongst our number. We are already benefiting from sharing our common task with them and learning from their experiences and insights. 2002 also saw the appointment of Rowan Williams as Archbishop of Canterbury following the retirement of Archbishop George Carey. Archbishop George’s commitment to the idea and aims of the Council was deep and he was instrumental in helping it to take shape. We thank God for his ministry and offer our prayers for a long, happy and active retirement. We look forward to sharing in Rowan’s ministry in this new stage of the Council’s life. In October, following Philip Mawer’s departure to take up his new post as Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, the Council was also pleased to welcome William Fittall as new Secretary General. In expressing our thanks to Philip for his indefatigable work with the Council from the beginning, we wish to assure William of our continued prayers and support in his task of helping us to shape the future of the Archbishops’ Council.

  • Diakonat Ohne Diakonie'?
    DIAKONAT OHNE DIAKONIE'? Diakone, Diakonissen, Diakoninnen in der anglikanischen Kirche Revd Canon Charlotte METHUEN 1. Der Diakon als erste Stufe des dreifachen Amtes Kennzeichnend für die Church of England als Kirche der Reformation ist das dreifache Amt. Gegen eine calvinistische Umstrukturierung des kirchlichen Am­ tes in Doktor, Pastor, Älteste und Diakon wurde in der Vorrede zum neuen „Or­ dinal“ des Jahres 1550 behauptet: Allen Menschen ist es durch sorgfältige Lektüre der Heiligen Schrift und der Kir­ chenväter deutlich, dass es seit den Aposteln eine dreifache Gliederung der Ämter in der Kirche Christi gegeben hat: Bischöfe, Priester und Diakone ...1 2 Trotz allem Hin- und Hcrschvvanken der englischen Reformation und des hefti­ gen Drucks der eher calvinistisch veranlagten „Puritaner“ im letzten Drittel des 16. Jahrhunderts ist diese traditionelle - wenn auch nicht unbedingt apostoli­ sche! — Amtsstruktur in der englischen Kirche erhalten geblieben. Befestigt wurde sie durch die Erfahrung mit dem Commonwealth im 17. Jahrhundert. Die bewusste Entscheidung, bei der Restauration des Königshauses 1660 eine bi­ schöfliche Kirchenordnung wieder einzuführen, war unterdessen eine Entschei­ dung für die dreifache Amtsstruktur. Diakone, Priester, Bischöfe hat cs seitdem in der Church of England - und damit in der ganzen anglikanischen Kirchengc- meinschaft - stets gegeben. Aufgabe des Diakons wurde in der Ordinations- bzw.

In diesem Aufsatz wird der Begriff „Ordination" verwendet. Diese Verwendung darf aber die Bedeutung von „Weihe" nicht aus­ schließen, die spätestens seit dem 19. Jh.
