At present the New Barn residential area is split between Dartford Borough, Sevenoaks District and Gravesham Borough; the part situated in Dartford is in the parish of ^outhfleet; the part in Sevenoaks is in the parish of Longfield, whilst the part in Gravesham is unparished. On 30 November 1979» Gravesham Borough Council requested ue to review the boundaries between the districts of Gravesham, Dartford and Sevenoaks in the vicinity of New Barn. Their request was in response to representations from the New Barn Ratepayers Association for the whole of the New Barn residential area to be incorporated within Gravesham Borough. The Association based their representations on a survey of opinion which they carried out in 1978 among the residents of New Barn on the question of whether the area should be under one authority, and if so, which one. The results indicated that a majority (8?#) of residents indicating a view preferred to see New Barn under one authority and a large proportion (6990 of these considered that this should be Gravesham. 2. We noted that Kent County Council, Dartford Borough Council, Sevenoaks District Council, and Longfield Parish Council were all opposed to a review beinp undertaken at that time, although Kent County Council and Dartford BOrough Council did a^ree that the current boundaries in the New Barn area were not wholly satisfactory.

  • Forgiveness and Reconciliation Abuse of Aftermath the in Reconciliation and Forgiveness in the Aftermath of Abuse Forgiveness And
    FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION IN THE AFTERMATH OF ABUSE IN THE AFTERMATH OF ABUSE FORGIVENESS AND While forgiveness and reconciliation are central themes in the church’s proclamation of the gospel, superficial understandings that separate them from RECONCILIATION justice and repentance have serious consequences for Christian ministry to survivors and perpetrators of abuse, and for the church’s witness to wider society. This theological and pastoral resource addresses specific challenges to the IN THE AFTERMATH OF ABUSE church as it seeks to speak truthfully in the aftermath of abuse, and provides material to help parishes and dioceses who find themselves facing the complex realities of such issues. Forgiveness and Reconciliation in the Aftermath of Abuse is the result of three years’ work by the Faith and Order Commission. It explores this sensitive and complex territory by addressing six key questions: • What do we mean by ‘abuse’? • What is distinctive about abuse as a form of sin? • Is there a place for repentance by churches when they have shared in some way in the sin of abuse? • How should the church speak of being forgiven to those who have committed abuse? • How should the church speak of forgiving to those who have experienced abuse? • Does the church have a ministry of reconciliation in the aftermath of abuse? Fictional case studies are included in each section to stimulate discussion and reflection. Designed to complement the Church of England’s extensive Safeguarding practice guidance, Forgiveness and Reconciliation in the Aftermath of Abuse is particularly intended to provide guidance for all those who preach, teach and exercise pastoral ministry in the Church of England.
