St John the Baptist, Coventry Parish Profile ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, COVENTRY PARISH PROFILE Page 1 of 26 BISHOP’S INTRODUCTION St John’s is a living example of the parable of the mustard seed. It was a struggling Anglo-Catholic parish in the city centre with a congregation in decline and serious difficulty. Questions were asked about its sustainability. But within this small congregation were individuals with a strong faith and with a genuine heart for God, their church community, and their local parish. Changing the biblical image, they were like the smouldering wick which should not be put out. So we gave encouragement to this small band of people and they more than rose to the challenge. Galvanising other members, they engaged with the Natural Church Development process of 8 Essential Qualities of Church life, and, combined with their own initiatives, they started to see their congregation grow. We have great hopes that this is the beginning of the fire of God’s love spreading through an area of Coventry that once burned with the bombs of human hatred. So we made the decision to invest in a half-time post to help further this growth. This was until we received significant funding from the Church Commissioners Strategic Growth fund for our Acceler8 project which has allowed us now to create a full-time post. Acceler8 aims to combine the strategy of the 8 Essential Qualities with the context of 20s-30s culture – with students and local residents on a housing estate St John’s parish has 60% of its inhabitants in this age range. The parish passed Resolutions A and B in 1994, and the PCC has requested, on grounds of theological conviction, that comparable arrangements now be made for it in accordance with the House of Bishops’ Declaration on the Ministry of Bishops and Priests. So we have an excellent opportunity to invest in the ‘mutual flourishing’ set out in the Bishops’ Declaration and give the opportunity for an Anglo-Catholic parish to work out how to thrive in this age range, which is currently largely absent from its congregation. We are therefore looking for an Anglo-Catholic, male, priest, with a passion for reaching the younger generation and inspiring the next generation of lay leaders, deacons and priests. At least 50% of your time will be spent with this age range, and you will be part of the Acceler8 Team which is helping the whole Diocese learn how to reach this ‘missing generation’. And you will have the freedom to try new things. If this excites you, and you relish the thought of many 20s-30s taking nest in the branches of the kingdom growing by the grace of God in St John’s, we would love to hear from you! With my prayers Page 2 of 26 MESSAGE FROM THE BISHOP OF EBBSFLEET Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Coventry When you hear the name Fleet Street, and the church that miraculously survived the Blitz, you’ll think first of London and St Paul’s Cathedral. But the same is true, perhaps even more inspiringly, of a church twice St Paul’s age – St John’s in the centre of Coventry, which has survived much over the centuries, and now stands we hope, by God’s grace, on the brink of a new and exciting chapter of its long witness to the catholic traditions of Christian faith and teaching, and distinctive catholic approaches to worship, to pastoral care and to service in the surrounding community. It is a witness that the Bishop and the Diocese alike want to embrace, to see flourish and to invest in as part of the shared life of the Diocese; and it’s a witness that unites its congregation. So, for the right priest, the one whom God is calling (perhaps that’s you), who has energy and commitment to communicate the catholic traditions of the Church, and vision for ministry in particular to younger generations, this will be a very challenging and rewarding ministry, reaching into St John’s own youthful parish community, and out to the city’s many workers and visitors. I am delighted to have been entrusted recently by Bishop Christopher with the oversight of this parish and a share in this future, and look forward to working alongside him, and the new parish priest and the worshipping community, to make St John’s a place where people’s encounter with Jesus Christ among his people is real and life-changing for many. If perhaps God is calling you to be that new parish priest, we look forward to hearing from you. With every blessing: +Jonathan Ebbsfleet Page 3 of 26 DEANERY SUMMARY St. John the Baptist, Coventry is part of Coventry North Deanery which in this Diocese is a key strategic unit for mission. Coventry North includes city centre, UPA, suburban and rural parishes. Almost all church traditions are within the Deanery, from evangelical to Traditionalist, and including a Pioneer Church in the City Centre (Urban Hope), and the Cathedral. We are all committed to fulfilling the threefold Diocesan Mission Purpose of Worshipping God, Making New Disciples and Transforming Communities via the 8 Essential Qualities of healthy churches, and there are good relationships between clergy in our chapter. The deanery is seeking to grow churches and to become more missionally sustainable. We are particularly aware of those areas of our parish demographics which are disproportionately under-represented in our congregations, and therefore work with younger people in their 20-30s is one of our target areas. We are rejecting the narrative of inevitable decline, and are expectant that God will do great things among us. Alison Evans Area Dean Page 4 of 26 BACKGROUND TO POST The geographical outline of St John the Baptist’s parish looks like a broken heart – heart shaped with a line (a major road) through it. We would like to think that this has some symbolism for our future ministry in ministering to the ‘broken-hearted’. ‘The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners; 2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favour, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; 3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion— to give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit. They will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, to display his glory. 4 They shall build up the ancient ruins, they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.’ (Isaiah 61:1-4, NRSV) The church, a Grade 1 listed mediaeval gem, is one of the most historic buildings in Coventry, one of the few to survive the bombing of Coventry in the second world war. It lies in the midst of the few remaining mediaeval buildings in Coventry, and therefore has great potential to attract tourists. Indeed, more could be done to highlight the city’s mediaeval heritage for tourists, and St John’s could play a catalytic part in that. St John’s is also very close to great numbers of student accommodation for the rapidly expanding Coventry University, which attracts students now from all over the world. However, the parish also contains a significant area of deprivation ‘across the road’ (the Coventry Ring Road), which includes blocks of high-rise flats. The parish is very deprived, ranking 194 out of 201 in the diocese and 12,114 out of 12,706 in England. The age demographic is very young, with 67% of the 6,000 population being between the ages of 18 and 44. This is the highest percentage of young people of any parish in the Diocese. The mix of young people is students and deprived estate. It is fair to say that, with our focus on traditional Anglo-Catholic worship, St John’s in the recent past has adhered to an attractional model of ministry, and resources for any missional activity have been concentrated on the city centre - though good relations have been sustained and developed elsewhere. Page 5 of 26 The post became vacant when the previous Rector retired early and joined the Ordinariate, along with 7 members of the church. With a drop in stewardship, a reputation for being inward looking, and a lack of serious missional engagement within the parish, there was a serious risk that St John’s would lose the possibility of another stipendiary priest. However: ‘They shall build up the ancient ruins, they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.’ The interregnum has provided us with the opportunity to reflect and re-engage with our parish and a more outward focus on our mission and purpose. Attendance has already increased by 20 people over the last year. We have created a positive visitor experience during the week, and continued our long tradition of offering refreshments on Saturday mornings. The renewed sense of purpose and direction in the interregnum has not gone unnoticed within the wider Deanery and Diocese. There has been great mutual encouragement after visits and input from Bishops and Archdeacons. We have engaged fully with the 8 Essential Qualities process and found it to be very helpful. We want to build on all of this. The Deanery and Diocesan thinking about St John’s future has therefore moved significantly over the last year.

    The Abbey Church of St Mary the Virgin Nuneaton Parish Profile Page 1 of 18 Bishop of Coventry’s Introduction ‘The Abbey’, as it is affectionately called, is quite simply a superb sacred space. It is not often that I would strongly recommend a parish based on the quality of its building, but in this particular case it is genuinely iconic, and ideal for both traditional and more innovative expressions of Anglo-Catholic worship, and the missional opportunities such worship in this setting presents. However, there is more to this parish than the building! The previous priest and congregation have been faithfully serving the local schools, and I would be delighted to see this work developed further with the next priest. Schools are very important communities within our local communities and I very much warm to increasing the links between them and our churches. It has been a pleasure to work with the Bishop of Ebbsfleet as an Assistant Bishop in the Diocese, and see as a result the positive relationships he and the Society priests have within the wider Diocese. We would welcome a priest who would contribute to himself, the congregation, schools and wider parish thriving in this mutually supportive Diocesan context. I commend the post to you. In my prayers. Page 2 of 18 Bishop of Ebbsfleet’s Introduction I want to commend this profile to you (and to thank those who compiled it). It’s a positive and accurate assessment of what this parish needs in its new parish priest. So rather than repeating the specifics that you can read about in the following pages, let me draw out the central point that emerges for me: working together creatively in partnership—intentionally evangelizing at every step—is the most promising mission strategy.

Ian has given dedicated service and has steered the DBF through many successful and also difficult times.

  • JOB DESCRIPTION FOR: Ebbsfleet Parishes Development Mentor (EPDM)
    JOB DESCRIPTION FOR: Ebbsfleet Parishes Development Mentor (EPDM) Location: Diocesan Offices, Coventry, and Bishop of Ebbsfleet’s Office, Reading, with regular travelling across the 13 Dioceses of the Ebbsfleet area, and occasionally nationally and internationally as required. Salary: £45,408 (Ordained priest. No accommodation provided). Hours: 35 hours per week. Background to Role The Diocese of Coventry has a commitment to healthy churches in fulfilment of its Mission Purpose of Worshipping God, Making New Disciples and Transforming Communities. We try to achieve this by the application of 8 ‘Essential Qualities’ (8EQs) of healthy churches based on research by Christian Schwarz of Natural Church Development (NCD). Further details can be found at www.healthychurches.org.uk. The Diocese was awarded a grant of £638,000 in June 2015 from the Church Commissioners Strategic Development Fund for our ‘Acceler8’ project, to enhance our existing capacity to mentor the integration of these 8EQs across the whole Diocese by the addition of 2 part-time paid mentors, and additionally to apply these 8EQs strategically into the 20s-30s age range in churches across the Diocese by the appointment of paid 20s-30s Development Leaders. One condition of this funding is to share our learning about trying to implement this strategy with the wider Church of England. Christian Schwarz and NCD International are also taking a keen interest in our approach. We have a well-established and effective process along with a long-term mentoring strategy to assist leaders and churches across the range of size, background and traditions in the Diocese (including parishes under oversight of the Bishop of Ebbsfleet), in fulfilling the 8EQs.

    Press Release Graeme Pringle To: News desk From: Communication Officer for the Diocese of Coventry Date: 15 Oct 2012 Email: [email protected] Office: 024 7452 1336 Mobile: 07507 196 495 A New Archdeacon for Coventry and Warwickshire The Venerable John Green has been appointed the ‘Archdeacon Pastor’ of the Diocese of Coventry. The appointment was made by the Bishop of Coventry, the Right Reverend Dr. Christopher Cocksworth. Bishop Christopher said, “John Green has won many hearts over the last months through his energy, skill and dedication as Acting Archdeacon of Coventry. I am delighted that he will be joining us on a permanent basis as our first Archdeacon Pastor. John will bring deep and varied experience of ministry in a number of settings to this new position. He already knows what it is to be an Archdeacon both in the Navy and the Diocese but I know that he will also bring innovation and imagination into this new work as he seeks to nurture the relationships that are needed to move a fleet of people and parishes in the right direction. I very much look forward to working with him in his new ministry among us.” Traditionally the Diocese of Coventry has had two archdeacons, each working within their own geographical area. However, following his arrival in 2008, Bishop Christopher was keen to explore more innovative roles for his senior clergy. This resulted, in 2010, with the ‘Archdeacon of Warwick’ post being replaced by an ‘Archdeacon Missioner’. Two years later, Bishop Christopher is pleased to be implementing the next stage, with the ‘Archdeacon of Coventry’ post being replaced by an ‘Archdeacon Pastor’.

  • Role Description and Person Specification for the Archdeacon Pastor
    DIOCESE OF COVENTRY: Role Description and Person Specification for Archdeacon Pastor Role Description and Person Specification for the Archdeacon Pastor Role Description BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF ROLE Coventry Diocese has re-imagined the role of Archdeacons. We have set aside the traditional geographical allocation of responsibility to enable both our Archdeacons to operate across the whole Diocese, each aligned to key areas of missional responsibility.1 In simplified terms, the Archdeacon Missioner has a lead role in the implementation of diocesan strategy, and particular responsibilities for new missional initiatives and parochial appointment processes. The Archdeacon Pastor has a lead role in nurturing the quality of relationships among Area Deans, other clergy and lay leaders, encouraging the missional opportunites of traditional forms of Church life and supporting the care of clergy, serving the good order of the Church and its legal responsibilities. This arrangement has been in place since 2010 and has brought many benefits to the Diocese, including a common culture and way of operating across the Diocese, and a greater focus and growth in missional activity. As the scale and range of activity across the Diocese has increased, it has become clear that the Archdeacon Pastor needs to be supported by a half-time Assistant Archdeacon. We intend to make the appointment of the Assistant Archdeacon after the appointment of the Archdeacon Pastor, who will be fully involved in the appointment process. Once both people are in post, the Archdeacon Pastor, working closely with the Bishop of Coventry and the Assistant Archdeacon, will decide the particular responsibilities to be carried by the Assistant Archdeacon to ensure that the Archdeacon Pastor is properly supported, and that the strengths of the two post holders are maximised.

  • St Oswald's Tile Hill Coventry Vicar
    ST OSWALD’S TILE HILL COVENTRY VICAR ON INTERIM MINISTRY BASIS Page 1 of 20 BISHOP’S INTRODUCTION In this centenary year of the Diocese of Coventry in its contemporary form, we have felt called to draw on the deep identity that our Cathedral has given to the whole Diocese so that, together – parishes, schools, chaplaincies and cathedral – we can be more fully ‘partners together in the gospel and ministry of reconciliation’, ‘journeying together’, as the Dean puts it, ‘from a fractured past towards a shared future.’ There is some journeying to do in the church and parish of St Oswald’s, including reenergising a sense of hope and expectancy in the congregation, re-vitalizing its Anglo-Catholic identity, recovering trust in some relationships in order to further the work of ecumenical initiatives in the parish, and restoring relationships with Deanery colleagues whose churches are helping to fund the ministry at St Oswald’s. There is great potential here, especially as Tile Hill is crying out for church involvement in local regeneration initiatives, offering all sorts of possibilities for working with other Church of England colleagues and ecumenically. That’s why St Oswald’s is receiving some financial support for an Interim Ministry to transition towards a more optimistic, confident and sustainable future. I am grateful to the Lord for the ministry of the Bishop of Ebbsfleet and we work closely together in a common mission here and with other Society priests. We are looking for an able priest who can lead this parish through a transformative process and join us as ambassadors for Christ who has entrusted us with the ministry of reconciliation in all its forms.

  • Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church ‘Whit Monday’ 2020
    THE BISHOP OF EBBSFLEET Hill House, The Mount, Caversham READING RG4 7RE Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church ‘Whit Monday’ 2020 Appointment of a Healthy Churches Mentor for the parishes of the See of Ebbsfleet On 5 March 2016 the Ebbsfleet Lay Congress at Coventry Cathedral was addressed by the then Archdeacon Missioner in the Diocese of Coventry, Morris Rodham, who talked about strategies for church growth and evangelization, and especially about the 8 Essential Qualities which underpinned a programme for Growing Healthy Churches that he had introduced, very successfully, across the Diocese of Coventry. That same day was also addressed by Bishop Rowan Williams, on the theme of ‘Growing the Catholic Community’. Subsequently Archdeacon Morris proposed to make the programme available to parishes across the See of Ebbsfleet too. With Bishop Jonathan’s support the Diocese of Coventry included the See of Ebbsfleet in a funding bid to the Church of England’s Strategic Development Fund, which obtained funding for a full-time post to undertake the work of supporting Ebbsfleet parishes in the aspiration to grow the church using the Healthy Churches Programme. At last the scheme can begin, and Bishop Jonathan is delighted to announce that The Reverend Canon Gary Ecclestone SSC has been appointed to this new role available to the parishes under his oversight. Fr Gary has been Vicar of Hanslope & Castlethorpe in the Diocese of Oxford since 2003 and is Area Dean of Newport. He is no stranger to the wider Ebbsfleet Area having been born and brought up in Lichfield diocese, came to faith as a student in Exeter diocese, completed a PGCE living in Truro diocese, trained for ordination in Oxford diocese, and served his title in Salisbury diocese: all dioceses in the area served by the Bishop of Ebbsfleet.
