Download City Events, February 2017 Feb ruary 2017 Published by FCC in conjunction with the Archdeaconry of London February 2017 will see the end of an era in the annnals of the Diocese of London and the City Churches in particular. Bishop Richard will be retiring after 21 years of serrvice as Bishop of London. During thaat time his support for the unique grouping of churches in the Square Mile has been tireless and always much‐valued. The Diocese of London will bid farewell to Bishop Richard on Thursday 2 February at St Paul’s Cathedral at 6.00pm. His last public act will be to celebrate the Eucharist with the people and clergy of the Diocese. The date of the service coincides with the festival of Candlemas which marks the end of Chrisstmas and Epiphany season and it is tthus fitting that the end of Bishop Richard’s tenure of office should be marked with the beautiful Candlemas liturgy. Everyone will be welcome to attend this unique service, the earlier ticketing arrangements for parishes having been dispensed with. The Bishop will prreside over what promises to be a feast of music and light in the unique settting of St Paul’s Cathedral. Alongside the service in the Cathedral the bishop will launch a parallel celebration in Patternoster Square ― a ‘pop‐ up cathedral’ ― shortly before 6.00pm. The Bishop’s sermon and other parts of the Cathhedral service will be shown on a big screen in the Square and there will be music, prayer and proclamation. Holy Commmunion will be shared by everyone inside and outside the Cathedral. All will be welcome to join the celebration inside and outside St Paul’s. At the end of the service Bishop Richard will come to the Great West Door of the Catthedral where the outdoor congregation will gather with him for his blessing. The occasion promises to be memorable and a most fitting conclusion to Bishop Richard’s inspiring ministry. In scanning the listings of other events taking place in the City churches in February certaain items tend to catch the eye. In what follows, as always there is no intentiion to sideline other events all of which are noteworthy in their own way. On Tuesday 28 February at 7.30pm in The Dutch Centre in the Dutch Church, Austin Friars a debate will be held between Nick Clegg PC MP, former Deputy Prime Minister, and Thierry Bauudet, the European sceptic journalist on the subject of populism as it affects European democracies. Several days earlier in the same venue on Wednesday 22 February there is to be a lunch and talk with Professor Sir Paul Collier CBBE on his book ‘Exodus’ and the subject of migration. Further details of these two potentially interesting and challenging events are given in the listings for those dates. As always muusical events will be numerous with a wwide range of works, instrumentalists and vocalists. Among the organ recitals three of these at St Lawrence Jewry definitely catch the eye. In February on Tuesdays 14, 21 and 28, all at 1.00pm a series of outstanding school‐age organists from around the world will display their talents on the king of instruments. The energy and commitment oof these young artists has entranced audiences in previous years and it is certain that this year’s assembly will be equally interesting. The series will continue in March. In the City church of St Olave Hart Street there will be ‘A Concert for Samuel Pepyss’ and this takes place on Wednesday 15 February at 8.00pm. Full details of wwhat promises to be an interesting event are given in the listing. One item to be performed stands out ― ‘Beauty rere’ ― apparently composed by Saamuel Pepys himself. It is fitting that this example of another of the renowned diarist’s distinguished achievementts is to be demonstrated in the church where his remains lie. It can be seen that events in the City churches in Feebruary 2017 will be memorable, particularly the event to be held in St Paul’s Cathedral on Thursday 2 February when we bid Bishop Richard farewell and Godspeed.

    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way?

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • 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.

  • The House of Bishops of the Church of England Has Today Welcomed Eight Women As Participant Observers to Its Meetings
    The House of Bishops of the Church of England has today welcomed eight women as participant observers to its meetings. The welcome follows the election of the eight senior women clergy from regions across the country. In February of this year the House decided that until such time as there are six female members of the House, following the admission of women to the episcopate, a number of senior women clergy should be given the right to attend and speak at meetings of the House as participant observers. The necessary change to the House's Standing Orders was made in May. Elections for the eight senior women clergy were held in autumn of this year and the following were elected: • East Midlands - Ven Christine Wilson, Archdeacon of Chesterfield • West Midlands - Revd Preb. Dr Jane Tillier, Preb of Lichfield Cathedral • East Anglia - Ven Annette Cooper, Archdeacon of Colchester • South and Central - Ven Joanne Grenfell, Archdeacon of Portsdown • South East region - Ven Rachel Treweek, Archdeacon of Hackney • South West region - Ven Nicola Sullivan, Archdeacon of Wells • North East Very Revd Vivienne Faull, Dean of York • North West - The Rev Libby Lane, Dean of Women in Ministry, Chester Diocese Having taken up their role on 1st December, the two day meeting of the House of Bishops in York on December 9-10 will be the first meeting at which the participant observers will attend.
