Bishop of Gloucester, Rachel Treweek
General Synod Safeguarding presentation from Bishop of Gloucester, Rachel Treweek, February 2018 I’m aware that when we talk about safeguarding it engages our hearts, our minds and our guts, and depending on our own experiences, our antennae will be set at different angles. So I hope that in our time of questions there will be opportunity for people to clarify what they’ve heard. I have been asked to say something brief about the Diocese of Gloucester and I look forward to contributing more in response to questions. It was not long after I arrived in Gloucester that Peter Ball, a previous Bishop of Gloucester was finally convicted of horrific abuse - You have the Gibb report (GS Misc. 1172). As I have previously said publicly, I am deeply ashamed of that legacy and deeply sorry; just as I am deeply ashamed and sorry about the abuse people have suffered across the Church which has so often been compounded by wholly inadequate response and a lack of compassion and understanding… .. I do believe that in the present I have the privilege of working with a committed and professional team in Gloucester. And that is not intended to sound defensive. The starting place is the big picture of the good news of the Kingdom of God and the truth that every person is a unique individual with a name, made in the image of God. Transformation, flourishing and reconciliation is at the heart of who God is. Yet we live amid prolific broken relationship including abuse of children and adults, neglect, misused power.. -
Archeacon of Gibraltar and Archdeacon of Italy and Malta
The Bishop in Europe: The Right Reverend Dr. Robert Innes The Suffragan Bishop in Europe: The Right Reverend David Hamid ARCHEACON OF GIBRALTAR AND ARCHDEACON OF ITALY AND MALTA Statement from the Bishops The Diocese in Europe is the 42nd Diocese of the Church of England. We are by far the biggest in terms of land area, as we range across over 42 countries in a territory approximately matching that covered by the Council of Europe, as well as Morocco. We currently attract unprecedented interest within the Church of England, as we are that part of the Church that specifically maintains links with continental Europe at a time of political uncertainty between the UK and the rest of Europe. Along with that, we have been in the fortunate position of being able to recruit some very high calibre lay and ordained staff. To help oversee our vast territory we have two bishops, the Diocesan Bishop Robert Innes who is based in Brussels, and the Suffragan Bishop David Hamid who is based in London. We have a diocesan office within Church House Westminster. We maintain strong connections with staff in the National Church Institutions. Importantly, and unlike English dioceses, our chaplaincies pay for their own clergy, and the diocese has relatively few support staff. Each appointment matters greatly to us. The diocesan strategy was formulated and approved over the course of 2015. We are emphasising our commitment to building up congregational life, our part in the re- evangelisation of the continent; our commitment to reconciliation at every level; and our particular role in serving the poor, the marginalised and the migrant. -
Shankland Searches Gibraltar for Final Norm by IM San Shankland February 7, 2010
Shankland Searches Gibraltar for Final Norm by IM San Shankland February 7, 2010 It feels like it was just yesterday that I was hurrying through Staples to try to find some European power converters before I had to go to the airport to make the lengthy trip to Gibraltar, the home of the 2010 Gibtelecom Masters tournament. Just for fun, I put on a fake European accent when I asked for help in finding them, and I must say I was treated better than I normally would have been. The cashier was particularly friendly- while she was ringing up the charges she was telling me she never gets to meet people from Europe. I was very tempted to at that point drop the whole accent thing, but I thought that would prolong the conversation and NM and US Chess League Vice-president Arun Sharma IM Sam Shankland Photo courtesy Monroi.com was back home waiting to drive me to the train station. Some 22 hours later, I landed in Gibraltar after one of the most stress-free travel experiences I’ve ever had. The 10-hour flight from San Francisco to London was probably my best ever, because for some reason, none of the seats adjacent to me were taken (geez, do I smell THAT BAD??) so while the rest of the plane was packed, I got to lie down and get some sleep. Once I arrived in Gibraltar, things started to get strange. The room key to my hotel was about a foot long, and I was informed that when I leave the hotel I must leave it at the front desk and then pick it up again when I got back. -

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.

The Rt Revd Rachel Treweek
The Rt Revd Rachel Treweek Our ref: DB/10/20 Bishop of Gloucester The Bishops’ Office 13 October 2020 2 College Green, Gloucester, GL1 2LR [email protected] Tel: 01452 835511 Dear Sisters and Brothers Last week the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, IICSA, published its overarching investigation report into the Anglican Church in England and Wales, highlighting the failures of the Church of England regarding child sexual abuse. It is not comfortable reading, and neither should it be. This report brings together in one place the shocking failures of the Church, not least in often being more concerned with protecting reputation than focusing on the care of victims and survivors of abuse and responding with compassion. In many ways the sickening findings of this report come as no surprise given the content of the 2017 Gibb report investigating the Church’s response to Peter Ball’s abuse, followed in 2019 by the IICSA report on Peter Ball. I spoke out with lament and shame following these publications and now this final IICSA report highlights our failure as a Church to respond swiftly to some of the key recommendations made, which have been repeatedly voiced by victims and survivors of abuse. Listening, admittance of failure and expression of shock and sorrow are important but they are not enough. Action is required. Therefore, while I am glad that the report acknowledges significant changes which have been made over the years, it also shines a bright light on the systemic failures of governance structures and decision-making. This has undoubtedly hindered the much-needed action being taken swiftly at national level, including a process of satisfactory redress for victims and survivors of abuse, and the need for independence to be appropriately present in policies and procedures. -
The Rt Revd Rachel Treweek
The Rt Revd Rachel Treweek Our ref: DB/08/17 Bishop of Gloucester The Bishops’ Office September 2017 2 College Green, Gloucester, GL1 2LR [email protected] Tel: 01452 835511 Dear Candidate Rector for the Town Centre Benefice of St Mary (the Minster Church) with St Matthew and St Luke, Cheltenham Thank you for making enquiries about this vacancy – I hope you find the enclosed documents helpful in considering your application. This is an exciting time to be joining the Diocese of Gloucester where we are in the early stages of implementing our new ‘LIFE’ vision process, focused around Jesus’ offer of life to the full in John 10:10. http://www.gloucester.anglican.org/about-us/our-vision/. It is expected that the new Rector will enable the church communities to fully engage with the diocesan vision and in so doing will grow in their own experience of this ‘life to the full’ . The accompanying document gives a little more detail about how this vision translates into the culture and values I am seeking to see grow amongst all those licensed to minister across the Diocese. The Benefice of St Mary with St Matthew and St Luke is relatively young in its formation and this will be the first appointment of a Rector of the united benefice, which is at a crucial stage in its story. It has seen a fair degree of change in recent years and, as you will note from the profile, has had to navigate a number of challenges. Amongst these, St Matthew’s has, for a number of reasons, seen a drop in the number of younger families attending over the past 5 years or so, a trend that many members feel acutely and long to see reversed. -
The Krk Diocese
THE KRK DIOCESE THE ISLES SHALL WAIT FOR HIS TEACHINGS O I R E T S I IN M T I E N IO ORAT FOREWORD The centuries-long presence of Christianity on the islands of the Krk Diocese is deeply rooted in the life and culture of its population, which has been subject to a succession of various social orders during the course of history. Until the year 1828, there were three dioceses within this territory: Krk, Osor and Rab. The presence of a bishop and his relationship with the people had a strong impact upon spiritual formation and identity. The pas- tors of the small dioceses of the Kvarner Islands demonstrated magna- nimity and openness of spirit toward the beautiful and modern, while at the same time listening to the “pulse” of the people, incorporating their language in worship. The beauty of handwritten and illuminated Glagolitic missals, psalters and antiphonals greatly enriched the corpus of liturgical literature traditionally written in Latin. Christian culture, both spiritual and material, is reflected here in the arts of painting, architecture, literature, poetry and music. This is a Church distinguished by its priests and religious, especially the Benedictines and Franciscans, including those with the reputation of saintliness, who have played exceptional historical roles in the raising and fostering of national consciousness, enhancement of the quality of life, education in moral principles, and the creation and safeguarding of the cultural heritage. These values provided a firm foundation for assuring the survival of this nation under changing conditions, not infrequently im- posed by fire and sword.
