  • 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.

Further is the need to state in express terms that a woman married to any man from a state of the federation other than her own should have the rights to choose which of the states to claim as her own. 2. Further suggested an amendment to Section 147(3) of the constitution, which provides for federal character in the president’s selection of ministers to include a 35% affirmative action for women. 3.

  • Urban Estates Evangelism Conference – 9-10Th October 2017
    Urban Estates Evangelism Conference – 9-10th October 2017 Theological Reflection – led by Rev Dr Jill Duff – Estates and the Gospel FULL VERSION My heart leapt when Bishop Philip invited me to give this theological reflection Pretty much all 15 years of my ordained ministry has been spent in urban deprivation areas of Liverpool Diocese. What I am to say is formed by countless friends who live in urban areas in the North West. One friend in particular has personally contributed – you’ll meet her shortly. For my day job, I’m Director of St Mellitus College North West, based at Liverpool Cathedral – where I teach New Testament, mission and church planting. We are the first Full Time ordination college in the North West for over 40 years and we are trying to build on the heritage (or re-open the wells) of St Aidan’s College in Birkenhead. This College closed in 1969. When they opened in 1846 they were ahead of their time – these were the days when you either trained for ordination at Oxford, Cambridge or St Aidan’s. They had the vision of training the ordinary man for ordination in the C of E – dockers, labourers, postmen. You still see this in the St Aidan’s old boys today. It was also an earlier version of context-based training. The Vicar who founded it, Joseph Bayliss, saw the growing need for the gospel across the water in the burgeoning city of Liverpool, so ordinands would spend their afternoons at the coal- face of ministry with the poor in the slums.

St. Swithin’s Day, (July 15), a day on which, according to folklore, the weather for a subsequent period is dictated. In popular belief, if it rains on St. Swithin’s Day, it will rain for 40 days, but if it is fair, 40 days of fair weather will follow. St. Swithin was Bishop of Winchester from 852 to 862. At his request he was buried in the churchyard, where rain and the steps of passers by might fall on his grave. According to legend, after his body was moved inside the cathedral on July 15, 971, a great storm ensued.
