  • St Mary's Church West Chiltington
    St Mary’s Church West Chiltington Faithful Hopeful Joyful Prayerful As We Journey Again We said our goodbyes to David and Rosemary, watched the removal vans head for the dales and waved our farewells. Actually until 6th October we were not technically in an interregnum, but of course we are well and truly into it now! We asked the PCC to agree that we are the Churches’ voice during this time and also the PCC agreed all the legal areas that the diocese want us to do. So we are ' hot to trot'. All the visiting clergy have been requested for our services and the Parish profile ('what we would like in a Rector') has been written and agreed by the Archdeacon and Bishop. We now wait for that special person to look at our beautiful village, to read our Profile and to visit the Church, then hopefully request a meeting with us with a view to join this amazing parish. But we really do need you to understand that it often is not a quick happening, so please, we ask you to bear with us all and to carry on giving the support that is always so very evident by you all. Diane has now retired as Parish Secretary and Brenda Bull has taken over, so as always our needs are being met. We ask you to come and join us on a Sunday, come and chat with us at any time and remember you are all the heart of this village and we are truly blessed to be part of that beating heart.

It acts as the standing committee of the diocesan synod. In addition to dealing with diocesan matters, the Council, together with diocesan and deanery synods, is asked to comment, discuss and draw together diocesan wide responses to major developments within the Church nationally. These are not confined to administrative structures and may encompass proposals for major changes to liturgy, church government and other matters being considered by General Synod or the House of Bishops. The members of the Bishop’s Council are automatically the members of the Finance Committee and thus the Directors and Trustees of the DBF, and also automatically the members of the Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Committee. Business for each of them may be considered at any meeting. This ensures cohesive decision making on these three areas and a co-ordinated review of the risks facing the Diocese. The routine business of the Finance Committee and the DPMC is delegated to sub-committees, leaving the Bishop’s Council more free to make the strategic decisions on matters of policy or particularly complex cases.
