The presentations at these Deanery meetings were, I think, very helpful, and the Synod debate, when it came on 12th November, was marked both by the passion with which members spoke and also by considerable graciousness in the course of the debate. Synod voted by a substantial majority in favour of the motion seeking to give effect to the legislation covering the proposed Ordination of Women to the Episcopate, and the legislation will now be brought to the July meeting of the General Synod. Discussions have also taken place at Bishop’s Council as to how to prepare members of Synod for the forthcoming debate on the Anglican Communion Covenant. Over the course of the year, Bishop’s Council received reports on a number of matters: the 400th Anniversary of the King James Bible (which was subsequently marked in various ways by the Deaneries), the 200th Anniversary of the National Society, a paper from Inspired North East on ‘Churches, Heritage and the Visitor Experience’ (with an action plan in support of churches and tourism in the North East), the introduction of a Clergy Handbook, the Mission Development Fund, and the Vacancy in See Committee. In November the Council received the draft plans for the election of a new Diocesan Synod in 2012. During the year, preparations were also made for an Open Synod Forum in September on the theme of Education. In addition, the Council has continued to receive regular updates on the ongoing work of the Diocesan Board of Education. Bishop’s Council has also continued to keep a close eye on the Diocesan finances and budget, receiving regular presentations and detailed updates, and being keen to offer support and challenge where needed. In May Nick Clarke from the Communications Unit at Church House, Westminster joined us to help us think through the implications of our Diocesan review of communications. And later in the year we were pleased to welcome Mr Martin Sheppard to the Diocese as our new Development Officer for Communication: Martin is already helping us to make a number of positive changes. During the year we said farewell to Audrey Elkington as she left the Diocese to become Archdeacon of Bodmin, and we welcomed Ian Flintoft as he took up the role of Bishop’s Chaplain and Diocesan Director of Ordinands. As ever, I am indebted to the members of the Bishop’s Council for their hard work and support during the course of the year, and to all those who contribute to the life of the Diocese through the Boards, Committees, and Task Groups. +Martin The Rt Revd Martin Wharton, Bishop of Newcastle, Chairman 2 TASK GROUPS Fr Syd Connolly and his wife Pat spent 3 months serving in the Parish of Francistown in the north of Botswana.

    Camel Side Cluster of Churches. Profile 2017 North Cornwall River Camel at Shell Woods The Venerable Audrey Elkington. Archdeacon of Bodmin The Camel Side Cluster of the two benefices of ‘Blisland with Temple, St Breward and Helland’ and ‘St Tudy with St Mabyn and Michaelstow’. Our vision for the Diocese of Truro is to “Discover God’s Kingdom, Grow the Church. To help to achieve this vision, we have been focussing on three strategic areas since 2013; Discipleship, Ministry and Mission. More recently, our development plan “Confidence in the Gospel” has given us specific aims and priorities for the years 2016-2018, relating to Praying, Growing, Leading and Supporting. (www.trurodiocese.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Diocesan-Development-Plan-May- 2016.pdf) It will be in this context which the new appointee will serve - supported by our ‘Never Alone’ policy, the continuation of ‘Accompanied Ministry Development’, and our desire to root and ground all that we do in prayer. Bishop Tim’s move to become the Bishop at Lambeth in August 2017, results in a time of transition for the Diocese. We are committed to continuing our mission and priorities during this period, and look forward to all that a new Diocesan Bishop will bring to our working together. The deanery of Trigg Minor and Bodmin is located in the archdeaconry of Bodmin. Six clusters of parishes are situated between the north and south coasts; centred around Bodmin town, and with the smaller towns of Wadebridge, Camelford and Lostwithiel to either side. The ‘Camel Side Cluster’ is currently an informal arrangement of two small benefices on the western edge of Bodmin Moor (Blisland with Temple, St Breward and Helland; and St Tudy with St Mabyn and Michaelstow).
