    Welcome to the Diocese of York The Diocese of York is a family of 607 churches and 127 schools in 470 parishes, stretching from the Humber to the Tees and the A1 to the coast. We hope this pack will give you a good idea of what it might be like to live and work in the Diocese of York. Contents: Vision and mission Living in the Diocese Housing and money Ministry together Lifelong learning Spiritual sustenance York Minster Central support Young people Who’s who “We will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” Ephesians 4:14 & 15 Vision and mission We have a vision of Generous Churches Making and Nurturing Disciples. “We will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” Ephesians 4:14 & 15 As a Diocese, we want to see our churches making disciples of all ages. We want to see mutual resourcing to build up the Body of Christ, to grow in five areas: • Christ-likeness Becoming like Christ is the fundamental call of Christian discipleship. It is not always easy to assess, but we often recognise the flavour of a life becoming more godly. • Commitment Commitment itself has several features, including: commitment to God, to seeking God’s kingdom, to Christ’s body the Church. • Partnership Working with other churches, locally and globally, with schools, community groups, people, organisations for the common good, peace, justice and a healthy environment.

  • 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 Enthronement of the 56Th Bishop of Bristol
    The Enthronement of THE RIGHT REV EREND VIVIENNE FAULL th The 56 Bishop of Bristol in her Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, Bristol THE SERVICE AT WHICH THE NEW BISHOP IS WELCOMED INTO THE DIOCESE Saturday 20 October, 2018, 2.30pm THE DEAN’S WELCOME Welcome to your Cathedral Church. The first Bishop of Bristol, Paul Bush, was consecrated on 25 June 1542 and came to a monastery that had been deserted for two years, newly made a Cathedral. The demands of city and diocese were too much for a reclusive scholar and he quickly withdrew to his manor at Abbots Leigh. At her consecration, Bishop Viv was reminded that bishops lead us, knowing their people and being known by them. Before this service began she was met in the heart of the city by its people. In this service you will hear again and again +Viv’s resolution to be servant of diocese and city and to be with us. Successive bishops have been great friends and supporters of their Cathedral Church. Robert Wright raised huge sums for repairs and a new organ in 1630. At other times, the relationship between bishop and Cathedral has been more difficult. In the eighteenth century Bishop Newton despaired of his absent dean. Today, we rejoice in the fact that the Cathedral is the Bishop’s Church. When +Viv knocks, three times, at the great west door and waits for entry, we will act out the fact that she recognises the Cathedral has a life and ministry of its own and yet is also hers.

  • The CWG Will Review Aspects of Cathedral Management And
    The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have set up a Cathedrals Working Group, CWG, in response to a request made by the Bishop of Peterborough in his January 2017 Visitation Charge on Peterborough Cathedral for a revision to be carried out of the adequacy of the current Cathedrals Measure. The CWG will review aspects of cathedral management and governance and produce recommendations for the Archbishops on the implications of these responsibilities with regards to the current Cathedrals Measure. It will be chaired by the Bishop of Stepney, Adrian Newman, the former Dean of Rochester Cathedral, and the Dean of York, Vivienne Faull, will be the vice chair. The Working Group will look at a number of different areas of Cathedral governance, including training and development for cathedral deans and chapters, financial management issues, the procedure for Visitations, safeguarding matters, buildings and heritage and the role of Cathedrals in contributing to evangelism within their dioceses. The Bishop of Stepney and the Dean of York said: "Cathedrals contribute uniquely to the ecology of the Church of England, and we are a healthier, stronger church when they flourish. We are pleased to have this opportunity to review the structures that support their ministry, in order to enhance their role in church and society Cathedrals are one of the success stories of the Church of England, with rising numbers of worshippers. They are a vital part of our heritage and make an incalculable contribution to the life of the communities that they serve. This is an exciting opportunity for the Working Group to look at the different aspects of how Cathedrals work, and to ensure that the legislation and procedures they use are fit for purpose for their mission in the 21st century." The Group will report back initially to the Archbishops' Council, Church Commissioners and House of Bishops in December 2017.

Forty vets, fifty nurses and tens of support staff keep him on his toes. Two of his vets are also Clare alumni, Mark Goodfellow (1994) and Mark Lowrie (1998). “It’s not at all like ‘James Herriott’, is the first thing to say. This is a modern hospital concentrating on advanced surgery on cats and dogs, which makes it different to most other practices. Surgery of this kind, historically, was done at universities but there is now a large private sector market.” Clive joined the Davies practice in 1998 and became managing director two years ago. “I didn’t have any clear ambitions when I was at Clare other than to be a vet.
