    Response from the RC Diocese of Aberdeen - ACC Consultation on Future of St Peter’s & Riverbank Primary Schools - Nov/Dec 2016 - P a g e | 1 As this Consultation has unfolded, there has been no shortage of articulate and engaged adults, with opinions that need to be heard. They seek to achieve a shared goal - the best possible educational future for their children; they do not, however, share a unified vision of how to get there. This might seem to be precisely the place where the opinion of the Church, especially with regard to St Peter’s, might help. Until relatively recently, however, it has been difficult to identify, within either the proposals presented for consultation (Options A and B), or a subsequent development that arose from discussion among St Peter’s parents (Option C), any position that seems uniquely ‘right’. The consequence of this was that little specific guidance could, in the early stages, be offered to anyone who might seek that from the local Church; neither could we offer unstinting support to individuals or groups supporting one or other point of view. The consultation process, in fact, benefits from this dearth of guidance. The local Church has been listening with ACC to the many voices that have contributed to the Consultation. It has been a positive experience. Various features of the picture have become clear: 1. St Peter’s and Riverbank are both excellent and happy schools searching for a future. 2. They serve communities, each of which is making entirely legitimate demands for their children. They are not exaggerating their needs.

The following from the Episcopal Church in Connecticut. The installation of a new dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Hartford, in February provided the occasion to reaffirm and advance a 231-year relationship between the Episcopal Church in Connecticut and the Episcopal Church in Scotland that began with the consecration of Connecticut’s first bishop, Samuel Seabury, in Aberdeen in 1784. The Very Rev. Dr. Emsley Nimmo, Dean of the Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney, and the Very Rev. Dr. Isaac Poobalan, Provost and Rector of St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Aberdeen, attended the installation and seating of the Very Rev. Miguelina Howell as 10th Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, From left: Hartford, on February 18, 2016.

Robert Canon Belt was installed as an honorary Gillies, Bishop of the Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney. In a subsequent sermon, canon of St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Dean Nimmo spoke of how the unity of our dioceses - as spelled out in the Aberdeen in 2014. Concordate signed by the bishops in 1784 - is a bond of union in the Eucharist. “At the time of Seabury’s consecration, there was a concordat signed … declaring that we were to be in a “bond of union” with one another,” he said.

  • Northern Light, August 2016
    Northern Light News from the Scottish Episcopal Church - Diocese of Aberdeen & Orkney September 2016 Scottish Charity No. SC022180 Issue 94 Autumn Edition BOB’S AWAY On 24th June 2016 we gathered at St Colman’s Church in Burravoe on the Island of Yell with Bishop Bob, to officially and formally give thanks for his ministry with us and alongside us. St Colman’s happens to be the most northerly Scottish Episcopal Church, and of course the most northerly church in the Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney. We welcomed to the service, entitled “Bob’s Away”, Methodist and Church of Scotland ministers and brother and sisters and we made presentations to Bishop Bob in a reception following the service in the community hall. It was a joyous celebration of Bob’s ministry with us, as well as a celebration of our own shared discipleship and ministry on Yell. As the picture shows, Bishop Bob called us to worship by ringing the ship’s bell which hangs at the church door. He heralded the beginning of what is probably the first of the celebrations marking Bishop Bob’s retirement later this year. Perhaps it was symbolic that this began in the most northerly point of the Diocese? What was also poignant was that the 24th June is also to anniversary of Bishop Bob’s ordination as Deacon. This was not known as the service began and Bishop Bob highlighted this personal note during the service at St Colman’s. Two days later we also had a service at St Magnus’ Church in Lerwick at which we made presentations to Bishop Bob and Liz, and he responded by telling us that that day also happened to be the anniversary of his priesting! Sad though it is often is to say farewell to people “moving on” we were privileged to be able to hold these services in June heralding what we expect to be a chorus of thanksgiving for Bob’s ministry as Bishop of this Diocese.
