2015 General Synod Elections House of Clergy List of Candidates & Addresses 2015 GENERAL SYNOD ELECTIONS HOUSE OF CLERGY LIST OF CANDIDATES & ADDRESSES Gavin Andrew COLLINS James Castle HUNT Peter Philip LEONARD Charles Scott PEER Robert Charles WHITE Hugh Edward Wright All candidates sent in addresses which have been replicated below. They are also available online:- www.portsmouth.anglican.org/information/general_synod_elections_2015 Questions you would wish to put to all candidates should be emailed to [email protected] Candidates’ responses will be published on the diocesan website. Gavin Andrew COLLINS Gavin Collins Current role I have been Archdeacon of the Meon since September 2011, and also Warden of Readers since September 2014. As Archdeacon, I serve on a wide range of Diocesan bodies, including Diocesan Synod, Bishop’s Council, the DAC, the Diocesan Safeguarding Panel, Diocesan Finance Committee and Diocesan Property Committee. I am Archdeacon with strategic responsibility for the Mission, Discipleship and Ministry Team and I Chair the Portsmouth and Winchester Diocesan Academies Trust. I see my role as Archdeacon as being chiefly to pastor the clergy, readers and church wardens of my parishes; to work with the legal and systemic structures of the church in a way that enables and promotes mission and growth; and – above all – to work as a faithful servant of Christ and the Gospel in my life and ministry. My other commitments are as a husband to Christina, and as father to Emily, 18, Susie, 16, and Harry, 13. Background Before joining the Diocese, I served for 14 years in parishes in Ely and St. Albans Dioceses, and served for 5 years as Rural Dean of Rickmansworth. Before ordination, I worked as a commercial litigation solicitor in the City of London, and was also involved in charities taking convoys of relief aid to Bosnia and Romania during the 1990s. I served for 15 years as a Trustee of Latin Link, a mission agency working in South America, and as a Trustee of London School of Theology (formerly London Bible College) from 2005 to 2014. General As Archdeacon, I am called to serve and represent the whole of the Diocese, and not any particular faction or grouping within it. It would be a privilege to be able to continue that service at the national level at General Synod. As well as working for the good of the church and Diocese, I also have an active interest in public issues that affect society at large, and have a strong commitment to the mission of the church and our national witness on issues of justice, social equality, international development, education and medical ethics. General Synod service I was privileged to be elected to represent the clergy of the Diocese on the last Synod in a by-election in 2013. During the past 2 years, I have become actively involved, attending every group of sessions, and speaking on several occasions – including the antepenultimate speech (in favour) during the final debate on the legislation that finally opened the way for the consecration of women bishops. During the past 2 years on Synod, I have come to appreciate much that is good about the national structures of the Church of England – as well as why they can often seem frustrating – and particularly to value the sense of being part of “something bigger” than parish and diocesan concerns. I see my calling on Synod as being a voice for unity, helping to bring together people of different opinions, particularly on divisive subjects, and giving a challenge to remember the Biblical call to walk in love as well as truth, with the consequent commitment to ongoing fellowship and unity. This role has been particularly important as part of the Evangelical Group on General Synod, and as Synod faces what will inevitably be divisive debates on issues of human sexuality over the next 5 years, I would like to be in a position to continue to play what I hope is a constructive, if at times uncomfortable, role. Hobbies Cycling, running (I try and run on at least a weekly basis), supporting Brighton and Hove Albion (which proves that I’m a person of faith), spending quality time with my family and engaging in lively debate on politics and current affairs. James Castle HUNT Revd James Hunt Name: Revd James Hunt – Age 48 – Ordained 2004 Post: Rector of St Peter’s Bishops Waltham with Blessed Mary Upham Family: Rebecca (Lecturer/Barrister) Sam (15) Lydia (13) William (9) Interests: Golf, Cycling and Table Tennis Pre-Ordination: Chartered Surveyor and Partner Property Consultancy Church Roles: Deanery Synod and Diocesan Synod Thank you for taking a moment to read this which outlines a little about myself including my interests background, experience, and if you voted for me, how I would seek to represent you at General Synod over the next 3 years. In my family life I am blessed to be married to Rebecca with whom I have three children: Samuel, who loves tennis; Lydia, who loves swimming; and William, who loves playing the trumpet! We have lived in Bishops Waltham for the last seven and a half years, previously being in Farnborough North Hampshire where I served my title curacy. Prior to ordination I was a Chartered Surveyor and Partner in a Commercial Property firm, advising charity and business clients, such as Barnardo’s, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Pizza Express, Random House publishers and British Airways. In my Christian life I have had a varied background being brought up as a Roman Catholic, before then, in my teens, ending up at Anglican school, where I was a sacristan, and also a regular member of the Christian Union group. I have lived in various contexts over the years, including the West Indies for 2 years, Zimbabwe for a year and Northern Ireland for 3 years, all of which has given me a good understanding of different cultures and expressions of Christian faith. My life and Christian journey has led me to the kind of ministry I am seeking to model and lead locally, and which I believe is needed much more on a wider national scale. In St Peters and Blessed Mary my passion has been to seek to lead a church in the essentials of the Christian faith and with a focus on doing mission together in the community which transcends secondary differences of worship style and churchmanship. At St Peters and Blessed Mary we have every tradition represented so that we are genuinely a parish church for all and provide a variety of windows to be part of God’s kingdom. I would not want to generalise too far, but I am a great believer in encouraging the evangelistic heart of the evangelical tradition, the thinking minds of the liberal tradition and the social action of the catholic tradition. It has been very good to see a variety of things develop here in these ways: Social Action (Food Bank, Lunch Clubs, Holidays at Home); Fresh Expressions (Messy Church, Coffee Corner, Worship 24); Families/Children and Young People’s Work inc Holiday Clubs and a Youth Co-ordinator for both church and community groups. In the Church of England, as we move into the future, I believe there is going to be a need to model varied local church life on a wider scale, being confident of the essentials of the Gospel ‘to proclaim afresh in every generation’, but learning from each other about different ways we can all be involved. To move forward as the national church, I believe we need to get back to the key basics of the Gospel as ‘Good News’ and allow local churches to have much more flexibility to take risks and grow. My Aims and Priorities for the next General Synod Christology and The Gospel: I would like to speak up for the revisiting and rediscovery of the uniqueness of Jesus and the Gospel which is really Good News! I would love every member of the Church of England to be so enthusiastic and passionate we would all more naturally be a witness. Mission: In the setting of future priorities and allocation of resources, I would like to speak up for the leading and encouragement of all churches to put more energy into mission activities around the needs of local people. As well as seeking to ‘invite in’ we need to ‘go out’ to where people are. Ministry: I would like to speak for up a variety of worship styles in every local church (not just between churches) so that we can cater for the different needs in our church and parish communities. Within these styles I would want to see all being encouraged in heartfelt worship (prayer, singing, teaching, fellowship and discipleship) as the engine of enthusiasm for our own faith and witness. Structure and Finance: I would like to speak up for the streamlining of denominational structures so that more resources can be retained at the local level to release front line mission not just maintenance. I would like to see much more strategic thinking and decisions be taken so we can rebuild. In terms of Parish Share, I would like to see the continuing support of poorer parishes, but not a system which is unsustainable, and if not addressed, will lead to the whole declining. Leadership and Training: I would like to speak up for leadership appointments in more varied ways so that the local church can flourish. Appropriate training and authorisation to work alongside clergy will be vital for the future e.g., Pastoral Assistants, Occasional Preachers. Human Sexuality: I would like to speak up for the better welcome and care of all people, but also to seek unity in the understanding and practice of marriage and family life.

    Sunday 29 November 2020 First Sunday of Advent WORSHIP Isaiah 64.1-9 Ps 80.1-8, 18-20 1 Corinthians 1.3-9 Mark 13.24-end Collect: Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness and to put on the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility; that on the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Message from Fr Paul Dear Friends Today’s Collect is a favourite of mine: ‘….give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and to put on the whole armour of light, now in this mortal life…’. This year it speaks more powerfully than ever into the world’s chaos and uncertainty, reminding us that we are people who can, despite everything, live and walk in the light of Christ. It is the Light of Christ, which we prepare to celebrate at Christmas (yes, even in 2020!). And the season of Advent which begins today points us to that light. It points us also to the great hope we have in Christ’s Incarnation at Christmas and the time when He shall return and come again in all his glory. I am very pleased to say that at the time of writing we are able to plan to be back in church from next Sunday 6 December, the Second Sunday in Advent, which is also our Patronal Festival.

Surely he cometh, and a thousand voices shout to the saints, and to the deaf and dumb; surely he cometh and the earth rejoices, glad in his coming who hath sworn: I come! This hath he done, and shall we not adore him? This shall he do, and can we still despair? come, let us quickly fling ourselves before him, cast at his feet the burden of our care. Yea through life, death, through sorrow and through sinning, he shall suffice me, for he hath sufficed: Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning, Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ.

And there I see your holy fire Consuming sin in mercy’s blood: What righteousness and love require To ransom sinners to their God.

  • Read the Welcome Booklet
    Welcome to the Diocese of Oxford An introduction for new clergy Welcome! As Bishops in this Diocese of Oxford, we are delighted to welcome you to your new ministry. We sincerely hope you will soon feel settled and be able to flourish here. Ministry these days is undoubtedly pressurised but there are good resources in the Diocese to support and help you, and this leaflet is an introduction to some of them. Clearly your gifts are – humanly speaking – the most valuable resources we have. We are therefore committed to offering you the best training opportunities, personal support and encouragement that we can. The Church of England is of course a fairly ‘flat’ organisation and this is a large diocese, but the Area Deans, Archdeacons and Bishops are all committed to your wellbeing, and welcome your being in touch. Naturally you will want to take responsibility for your own flourishing as well. You may well have a spiritual director, cell group, long-term friends, and others who accompany you on your journey. You may also have particular interests, both inside and beyond ministry, that sustain you and give you life. All of that is excellent; we just want the best for you. In these early stages of moving here, your Archdeacon is best placed to help you and make any connections you need. Within the first six months you will see your Area Dean, Archdeacon and Bishops, all of whom are there to help you ‘land’ safely and well. I hope this leaflet will help you (and your spouse if you are married) to understand a little more of the Diocese and the resources available.

    The Rt Hon. The Baroness Stowell of Beeston, MBE Chair of the Charity Commission 102 Petty France, Westminster London SW1H 9AJ By post and email to [email protected] cc [email protected] As from Mr Andrew Graystone, 17 Rushford Avenue, Manchester M192HG [email protected] Wednesday 27th May 2020 Dear Lady Stowell You recently received a letter from some individual trustees of Christ Church Oxford making a series of allegations against their Dean, the Very Revd Professor Martyn Percy. We wish to express our confidence in Martyn Percy. We Know him in our various capacities, as a man of consistently good character, an exceptional scholar, a respected public servant, and an outstanding Christian leader. We do not speculate on the reasons why some members of the Governing Body of Christ Church wish to go to such extreme lengths to destroy the reputation of their Dean and to break his spirit. But we do know that : • The recent letter is the latest episode in a sustained campaign against the Dean led by senior members of the college Governing Body since his appointment. • The specific allegations against Martyn Percy have changed over time, but each allegation has been disproved. In August of last year Dean Percy was wholly exonerated after an extensive investigation by Sir Andrew Smith, a retired High Court judge. - 1 - • The signatories of the letter are far from objective. Several of them were revealed by Sir Andrew to have employed devious methods and offensive language in their efforts to breaK his resolve, and some will be parties to an Employment Tribunal to be heard next year.
