Justice & Peace Link Information sheet on events and issues concerning justice & peace in and around Bristol and the Clifton Diocese March 2020 Ongoing until 4 March Fairtrade Fortnight. https://www.fairtrade.org.uk/en/get-involved/current-campaigns/fairtrade-fortnight until Tuesday, 31 March City Hall foyer, College Green, Bristol BS1 5TR “Mayors for Peace” art exhibition There are almost 8,000 members of “Mayors for Peace”, in 163 countries (including 80 other cities and towns in the UK). Since it’s formation in 1991, the stated aims of "Mayors for Peace" have been: “To contribute to the attainment of lasting world peace by arousing concern among citizens of the world for the total abolition of nuclear weapons through close solidarity among member cities as well as by striving to solve vital problems for the human race such as starvation and poverty, the plight of refugees, human rights abuses, and environmental degradation”. Bristol’s twin city, Hanover, launched this international art and peace project to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons signed by the nuclear-weapon states USA, the former Soviet Union, and the UK in 1968. The exhibition is currently touring member cities in Europe and North America in the hope that it will inspire local artistic and peace activities.

Most of us want to make a difference. We donate our time and money to charities and causes we deem worthy, choose careers we consider meaningful, and patronise businesses and buy products we believe make the world a better place. Unfortunately, we often base these decisions in intuition and emotions rather than facts. As a result, even our best intentions often lead to ineffective-and sometimes downright harmful-outcomes. So how can we do better? How many people benefit, and by how much? Is this the most effective thing I can do with my career? At this talk, expect to be challenged to think differently, set aside biases, and use evidence and careful reasoning rather than act on impulse. Our event is open to the public and welcomes children. It is free but we do ask for a donation of whatever people can afford. We provide tea, coffee and cake free of charge. There is no need to book tickets. Hosted by the Sunday Assembly.

    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.

INTRODUCTION The East Midlands Synod covers the five counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire and the part of Buckinghamshire which encompasses Milton Keynes. Since 2007, when District Councils were abolished, the Synod Officers, staff, Conveners and Consultants, have worked hard to maintain effective contact with our local churches. In 2009 a task group undertook a review of the new structure and three themes emerged: communication (particularly improving the link with local churches), effective and clear strategies and use of the voluntary sector workforce to best effect. This is on-going work and needs to feature in our planned development.

    URBAN LIVING SPD Making Successful Places at Higher Densities

    Adopted November 2018 URBAN LIVING SPD Making successful places at higher densities Growth and Regeneration Foreword We are committed to make the most of the development land available in the city to support the significant increase in new-and-affordable homes and infrastructure we desperately need. In the last 20 years, there has been a dramatic shift with people returning to live in or close to the city centre. This urban renaissance has led to apartment living being commonplace in Bristol. The more successful schemes combine homes with cafes, shops, community uses and workplaces to create vibrant spaces with a high quality public realm. With this renewed appetite amongst developers to build at higher densities, including tall buildings, it is important that we strengthen our planning guidance to ensure that we learn from successful places and don’t repeat any mistakes from the past. We want to ensure that future development of the city is inclusive by design, where neighbourhoods are not Credits isolated but interconnected so that varied social, economic and cultural opportunities are This document has been prepared by the City Design Group at Bristol accessible to all.

  • Bishop's July 2020 Letter

    Bishop's July 2020 Letter

    The Bishops’ Office July 2020 Dear school communities, While it is not possible to ask each of you how you are, please know that we have prayed for our school communities, both pupils and teachers during this unusual and hard time. Our prayers have been for those in a classroom and also at home. In the past few months we have all had some questions and concerns - it is important that we always share these with others. Thankfully, we have also had people to keep us safe, people to care for us. We have seen that care can happen in many ways. Our message to you is about this word. Care is a word with four letters, so it is a small word but we need to remember that it has a big effect on people and can leave them smiling. As each of us cares for others we can show God's love. At first in lockdown a sign of caring was a rainbow often in a house window or a cuddly toy. Now, we may be able to show we care to more people. That may happen in our bubble of people or with a wave and a smile or helping someone with something bigger. To care is something we can all do in small ways. No matter how small when we care we are showing something that is big. We are showing God's love for each of us. A good example of caring are your teachers and school staff. They have cared for you and others throughout the lockdown.
