General Synod Report for Diocesan Synod Introduction General Synod Report for Diocesan Synod Introduction - Lucy Our February group of sessions took place between the 13th – 16th Feb down at Church House in London. Nick (Land) and I both made our maiden speeches successfully without being given the dreaded bell and Linda continued to perfect her chairing skills and even successfully pulled off some humour! No mean feat while sat in the chair! You’ll know from news coverage there was a certain hotly anticipated debate scheduled for the Wednesday but Linda and I will attempt to give you a BBC style, non-biased report of the main events over the course of the week. Anniversary of the Reformation – Linda The Faith and Order Commission of the Church of England with support of the Council of Christian Unity presented this motion in the context of the 500th Anniversary of the beginning of the European Reformation and the Church of England’s understanding of the doctrine of justification as expressed in our historic formularies. Archbishop of Canterbury Presidential Address – Linda He stated that we are a cross-shaped people and the time has come to re-imagine our future in light of all the uncertainty of our time. The future offers many opportunities to which we should rise when we find in the country a skills gap, failing NHS and Social Care, and high greenhouse gas emission. The Church could be part of the answer, as we have a deep strong reach into the community recognising as a Church we are also guilty of abuse and we must not resist addressing these appalling matters. Public life is deeply divided, our response is to bring together the nation – it is tough and long-term, there is no short cut. (Read the full address on the CofE website) Legislative Business – Linda Tuesday, 14 February was given over to the many items of legislative business which included Church Representation, Ecumenical Relations and Ministers Measure, Mission and Pastoral (Amendment) Measure, Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction and Care of Churches Measure, Safeguarding (Clergy Risk Assessment) Regulations 2016. There was a point of order raised to adjourn the Safeguarding debate but Synod voted against such a move. However, the main motion was carried after a vote by Houses. Creation of a Suffragan See for the Diocese of Leicester – Lucy The Bishop of Leicester presented a proposal to create a suffragan position at Loughborough following the retirement of the current assistant Bishop Christopher Boyle. Synod voted unanimously to proceed and over the next few months we’ll see that advertised and eventually appointed. Fixed Odds Betting Terminals – Lucy Fixed Odds betting terminals are the electronic, roulette/gambling machines you often see in pubs. The nature of them and in a way how they are different from the average fruit machine is the amount of money one can spend in a short period of time. The debate itself wasn’t about what individual Christians feel about gambling, but more the concern for those who are addicted and may easily become so. Many members of Synod spoke in this debate raising concerns for their communities where families suffer considerable financial hardship because of the impact of fixed odds betting terminals. The motion was carried by a vote of the whole Synod to call upon the government to reduce the maximum amount that can be wagered in a single game. Preliminaries to Marriage – Lucy Here draft legislation was presented to replace ecclesiastical preliminaries to marriage with civil preliminaries where banns would be replaced by a Marriage Schedule issued by the civil registrar. The debate steered heavily towards keeping the tradition of banns because it was felt the reading of banns brought many couples, their families and friends into church and more importantly into the Church family before their wedding. On the flip side it was highlighted that if we were to go ahead with the change then prayers of dedication could still be said, and couples still invited to Church – the question to be seemed to be, would couples still come along? Is there actually something really special to a couple to hear their banns read in Church prior to their wedding? After a lengthy debate, and quite an interesting one, the motion was lost in all three houses, so the status quo remains. Introduction to the work of the Bishops’ Reflection Group on Human Sexuality – Lucy On Wednesday afternoon we moved onto a rather small, quick and insignificant debate around sexuality and the Bishops report. The Bishop of Norwich and the Bishop of Willesden introduced this item outlining how the afternoon group work will be conducted. Members reconvened into the groups they were in back in July for the Shared Conversations, however there was some dis-ease and lack of confidence in the case studies being discussed amongst other issues which lead to around 60 members of Synod removing themselves, myself included, temporarily from the group work and meeting separately together, we were later joined by the Archbishop of Canterbury for a short period of time to discuss those issues. I can’t comment first hand, however Linda tells me each group with its designated Bishop explained the process that the House of Bishops had been engaged in over the autumn. Members of Synod were free to discuss and debate the matter. This then led to the take note debate later in the afternoon. There were 170 requests to speak. And the chair did an incredibly good job of overseeing the debate and making sure a wide selection of voices were heard. After another lengthy and intense debate the motion was lost after a counted voted by Houses. On a personal note, although all of this is very close to my heart, and although I’m new to Synod, I think other members would agree that it felt a privilege to be part of that debate, that debate was Synod at its best. We listened to each other, and treated each other with respect whatever our differences. I really hope that after the encouraging letter from the two Archbishops and the meetings between General Synod members and their Bishops we can carry on along the path towards radical inclusion for all. Address by the Secretary General of the Anglican Communion – Linda The Presidents invited the Most Revd Josiah Atkins Idowu-Fearon to address the Synod. The Archbishop stressed that the Church of England has a duty to Anglicans overseas as well as those in the UK. “Setting God’s People Free” – Linda Synod debated a motion from the Archbishops’ Council commending the report from the Lay Leadership Task Group – set up as part of the Renewal and Reform initiative. The report focussed on ways of responding to the challenges facing us today and how essential lay leadership has become to church, community, workplace and the wider community. There was considerable interest in this debate, most contributors supported taking this significant piece of work forward; the motion was carried unanimously. Farewells – (1) The Archbishop of Canterbury gave a farewell address to the First Church Estates Commissioner. Sir Andreas Whittam Smith will retire after a long and significant contribution to the life of the Church of England. Sir Andreas will leave the position at the next AGM of the Church Commissioners scheduled for June 2017. He was knighted for his services to the Church in 2015. The role of First Church Estates Commissioner involves overseeing the management of the Church of England's £7 billion investment portfolio. Her Majesty The Queen will have to approve the next person to take the job. In his response, Sir Andreas said: "After fifteen years service I think it appropriate and sensible to look towards an orderly handover to a successor."I am proud to be leaving the Church Commissioners at a time when we continue to enjoy robust and sustainable growth, while contributing in a substantial and meaningful way to the ongoing operation of the Church and its ministry." (2) The Archbishop of York gave a farewell address to the Bishop of London who sat in the gallery with his wife. The Rt Revd and Rt Hon Richard Chartres is the 132nd Bishop of London. He served as Archbishop's Chaplain in the 1980s before moving to London Diocese as a parish priest. After his move to the See of London, he was appointed Dean of HM Chapels Royal in 1996 and a Privy Counsellor. His last public engagement after 20 years was Candlemas at St Paul's Cathedral on 2 February 2017. Throughout the four days of Synod there were many opportunities to worship together both in the Chapel and in the Assembly hall. A collection in aid of the work of the Mothers’ Union was made at the Eucharist on Wednesday. .

  • DS15 24 Newcastle Diocesan Synod Suffragan See of Berwick
    DS15 24 Newcastle Diocesan Synod Suffragan See of Berwick Note by the Assistant Bishop Motion: That this Synod support the proposal to fill the Suffragan See of Berwick. Background: Newcastle Diocese has had the services of a full-time Assistant bishop for 35 years. Until recently it had not seemed propitious to petition for a formal Suffragan See. The long-drawn out process did not have an assurance of success. The principal change in the last 5 years has been the devolving of the allocation and distribution of a block grant for Bishops’ ministry to the Diocesan Bishop. Recent legislative changes have also increased the likelihood of a petition being favourably received by the Dioceses’ Commission. The Bishop of Newcastle indicated her clear support of the proposal to petition for the revival of the Suffragan See of Berwick at a Bishop’s Council discussion on 14th November 2015. The See of Berwick was last filled in 1572 when the Diocese of Durham had jurisdiction over the area which is now the Diocese of Newcastle. The Dioceses’ Commission have been consulted both informally and formally over the last 18 months. Advice from the Diocesan Registrar and the Provincial Registrar has also been sought and been forthcoming. The main differences and common themes of the two approaches to episcopal appointment are set out below: Assistant Bishop Suffragan Bishop Appointed by The Diocesan Bishop after The Crown following a careful informal advice by others and process of consultation in the consent of the Church Diocese and a name put forward Commissioners by the Diocesan Bishop Available Only those already in episcopal Any suitable person in Holy Candidates orders Orders who has reached the age of 30 years Formal legal status Covered by Canon C20 but cannot Covered by Canon C20 and is able and delegated deputise for the Diocesan Bishop to deputise for the Diocesan powers at General Synod or the House of Bishop Bishops DS15 24 Costs Stipend and expenses from As Assistant Bishop Church Commissioners.

  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.

  • Introduction This, the Second Annual Report of the Archbishops' Council, Chronicles Another Year of Challenge and Achievement
    Introduction This, the second annual report of the Archbishops’ Council, chronicles another year of challenge and achievement for the Church and the Council. In its second year of existence, the Council has sought to build on the firm foundations it laid following its creation. Its major concern has been to develop – in collaboration with the House of Bishops and the General Synod – a set of Themes which can help guide its future work. In November 2000 the newly elected General Synod endorsed four Themes: • engaging with social issues • equipping to evangelise • welcoming and encouraging children and young people • developing the ministry of all These – together with two fundamentals, worship and the quest for full visible unity, which will be reflected in the way the Themes are pursued – will set a framework for all the Council does over the next five years. Specific initiatives undertaken by the Council in 2000 included the publication, following its discussion in Synod, of Common Worship and the launch of reviews of the structure and funding of training for the ministry and of the legislation governing how pastoral ministry is provided. This was in addition to the ongoing work of the Boards and other bodies which answer to Synod through the Council. This report records the highlights of the invaluable work they have undertaken in the service of the whole Church. We pay tribute to all those – Synod members, staff and others – who offer their time and talents to the Church in this way. At the conclusion of 2000, at the time of the Synodical elections and fresh elections to the Council, we said farewell to four founder members of the Council.
