    GS Misc 1210 GENERAL SYNOD List of Speakers – July 2018 This paper provides a basic summary of statistics relating to the speakers at the July 2018 group of sessions. 1. The term “contribution” refers to either a speech made in a debate, or a question raised in a presentation. Note: • supplementaries asked during the Questions item have been included in the totals; and • contributions made by the mover/presenter of an item have not been included in the totals. 2.

  • The Eucharist
    Renewal of Commitment to Ministry Maundy Thursday 9 April 2020 11:00 Officiant and Preacher The Rt Revd Dr Michael Ipgrave OBE Bishop of Lichfield with the Rt Revd Clive Gregory, Bishop of Wolverhampton, the Rt Revd Sarah Bullock, Bishop of Shrewsbury. and the Rt Revd Jan McFarlane, Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Lichfield About This Service The bishops in the Diocese of Lichfield normally gather together all clergy and lay ministers at the Cathedral on the morning of Maundy Thursday in order for us all to reaffirm our commitment to our various ministries, while also blessing and collecting oils for use over the coming year and celebrating the Eucharist together. Sadly, at this present time of crisis it is impossible for us to gather together or to bless the oils. Thanks to modern technology, however, it is possible for us to reaffirm our commitment to ministry together and this service will be streamed on our Diocesan Facebook page and website to enable us to do so. We hope you will feel able to join in with the service from home. We especially hope that priests, deacons and lay ministers will feel able to join in with the renewal of commitment to ministry at the appropriate point in the service. As usual, everything that the congregation is invited to join in with is in bold type. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, we cannot provide printed versions of the hymns. However, these are well-known hymns, are in many hymn books and the texts are also available online, so we hope that you will be able to provide yourselves with copies and join in.
