  • GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD 1 Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops Of
    GS Misc 1158 GENERAL SYNOD Next Steps on Human Sexuality Following the February 2017 Group of Sessions, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York issued a letter on 16th February outlining their proposals for continuing to address, as a church, questions concerning human sexuality. The Archbishops committed themselves and the House of Bishops to two new strands of work: the creation of a Pastoral Advisory Group and the development of a substantial Teaching Document on the subject. This paper outlines progress toward the realisation of these two goals. Introduction 1. Members of the General Synod will come back to the subject of human sexuality with very clear memories of the debate and vote on the paper from the House of Bishops (GS 2055) at the February 2017 group of sessions. 2. Responses to GS 2055 before and during the Synod debate in February underlined the point that the ‘subject’ of human sexuality can never simply be an ‘object’ of consideration for us, because it is about us, all of us, as persons whose being is in relationship. Yes, there are critical theological issues here that need to be addressed with intellectual rigour and a passion for God’s truth, with a recognition that in addressing them we will touch on deeply held beliefs that it can be painful to call into question. It must also be kept constantly in mind, however, that whatever we say here relates directly to fellow human beings, to their experiences and their sense of identity, to their lives and to the loves that shape and sustain them.

  • Chapter 1: Taking Stock and Looking Ahead
    1. TAKING STOCK AND LOOKING AHEAD TAKING STOCK FIVE YEARS ON The Covenant between the Methodist Church of Great Britain and the Church of England was agreed by the General Synod and the Methodist Conference in the Summer of 2003. The Covenant was signed by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the President and Vice-President of the Methodist Conference and the general secretaries of both churches in Methodist Central Hall, Westminster, and celebrated in Westminster Abbey, both events taking place in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen, on 1 November that year. The Covenant stands out as a major initiative of reconciliation and unity in the history of the Churches in this country. Its significance is brought out if we reflect for a moment on the relationship between Anglicanism and Methodism in England over the past two and half centuries. The Methodist movement began within the Church of England, as part of the Evangelical Revival. John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield were clergymen of the Church of England who, despite pressure from others, never contemplated leaving the established church. For a long time, Methodists continued to worship in their parish churches, alongside their own preaching services and class meetings. They were generally communicants in the Church of England. The 2007 commemorations of the tercentenary of Charles Wesley’s birth have reminded us how he strove to keep Methodism loyal to the Church of England and passionately opposed all steps that would loosen the ties. However, Methodism and the Church of England drifted apart over time, going their separate ways more by accident than design.

However, we are glad of the rain for our farming neighbours, and look forward to a good harvest. As I write this, after a sunny morning, it is raining again. I visited Staunton Harrold Church recently and looked up at the stunning painted ceiling. It is titled Chaos to Order, referring to the ordering of the firmament by God in Creation, and the coming of Christ. It is quite unusual in its design, symbolic and dark, not as colourful as the ceiling in St Edmunds Fenny Bentley! I had also recently read the article Chaos and Absurdity, reprinted here with permission, and wondered about that word CHAOS, coming up twice in one month.

" Church of England Orangeman who championed gay rights and religious integration - The Irish Times Bishop Henry Richmond, who has died in his 82nd year, was a retired Church of England bishop and Fermanagh Orangeman, an adviser to the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement, an advocate of the Orange Order talking to the North’s Parades Commission and to nationalist [email protected] Page !1 Obit Bishop Henry Richmond residents’ groups, and a unionist who said his prayers every day in Irish." He believed the Church of England had to reassess its attitude to sexuality. For him, it was unacceptable for Christians to be excluded from their church because of their sexuality. His help for the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement was financial and moral." That help began discreetly, in the background. However, as he became increasingly convinced of the need to embrace lesbian and gay Christians, he became more prominent." He was an Orangeman all his adult life. As soon as he was 18 he joined Wattlebridge Lodge, of which his father was master. The Orange Order in his home area respected him and Wattlebridge Lodge appointed him as their chaplain. Later, he became chaplain of Newtownbutler District. " Reaching out He was willing to tell his brethren what some did not want to hear: that they should engage with the North’s parades commission, and with nationalist residents’ groups. He believed the order had to reach out to Catholics, as the Catholic Church had accepted much of the Reformation’s teaching.

  • Brief for the Appointment of a New Diocesan Registrar
    BRIEF FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF A NEW DIOCESAN REGISTRAR The Bishop of Derby is seeking to appoint a solicitor with good interpersonal skills and proven legal competence to be her Diocesan Registrar with effect from Summer 2021. These notes provide candidates with information on the appointment. Diocese of Derby 1. The Diocese of Derby covers the whole of Derbyshire and a few parishes in Staffordshire. It serves a population of just under one million people. 2. The Diocese is led by the Bishop of Derby. A new Bishop of Repton will be consecrated in April 2021. The Bishop of Derby may delegate certain powers to the Bishop of Repton. 3. The Diocese has approximately 250 parishes and 330 church buildings. There are about 130 paid clergy at the present time, plus other clergy who give their time voluntarily. This is a time of significant change as the Diocese moves from two archdeaconries to a possible three, and as it restructures both the number and deployment of its clergy and the composition of its parishes. 4. The administration of the Diocese is overseen by the Derby Diocesan Board of Finance (DDBF), a statutory body which is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. 5. The Diocese has a financial income of around £10million in 2020. The major part of the income (£8million) relates to the General Fund. Of this c.50% comes from parishes via Common Fund contributions. Net assets, including property (most of which comprises the houses in which clergy reside), totals some £95million in 2020. 6. In the rapidly changing landscape of the twenty-first century, the Diocesan Registrar will be closely involved in advising and supporting the Bishop and senior staff.

    Spotlight Mar/Apr 2020 Some of the most vulnerable families in the Midlands and abroad will be supported through this year’s Bishop’s Lent Appeal. Bishop Michael has launched the ‘Precious in my sight’ appeal which will raise funds for Acorns Children’s Hospice in Walsall and families under stress in South Africa. The Bishop’s Lent Appeal is an annual opportunity for churches and others across the diocese to offer generous support to worthwhile causes. Precious in my sight Acorns Children’s Hospice provides specialist nursing care and support to babies, children and young people who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and associated complex needs. It helps families cope at every stage of their child’s life and beyond, wherever and whenever they need it.

You may also have noticed a line on your Council Tax bill for “Great Longstone Parish Council” and wondered what the money was used for. The powers of a Parish Council are potentially quite wide, but Great Longstone Parish Council has not historically used a lot of these powers. What we do is keep an eye on the well-being of the village and take action when things need doing. This can be routine stuff like mending footpaths and cutting the grass, and it can also be bigger projects such as the recent Tennis Court resurfacing, undertaken in conjunction with the Tennis Club.
