Welcome to the Diocese of York Welcome to the Diocese of York The Diocese of York is a family of 600 churches and 127 schools and academies in 470 parishes. It covers the area of the Church of England stretching from the Humber to the Tees and the A1 to the coast. We have a vision to be 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 and schools 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 • Commitment • Partnership • Influence • Numbers We hope these pages will give you a good idea of what it might be like to live and work in the Diocese of York.

The Diocese has excellent transport links (it’s two hours from York to London by train). Middlesbrough has a great history of manufacturing iron and steel, and the steel works in Redcar has recently been bought by an Indian company, meaning continued employment for many people. Hull is a busy port, and a centre for chemical and health Hull city centre care sectors. Recently, plans for a huge offshore wind turbine manufacturing plant have been unveiled. York is the historic centre of Yorkshire. It’s a great little city, full of Roman and medieval history. It’s major industries are science, media, service industries and tourism. On the East coast, Scarborough, Bridlington, Filey, Hornsea, Withernsea and Whitby are our lively seaside towns. The North York Moors is a National Park with a beautiful landscape of stunning moorland, spectacular coast, ancient woodland and historic sites. However, there are many challenges facing our region at the moment. There are areas of great poverty and North York Moors unemployment, both in urban and rural areas. A recent survey by End Child Poverty revealed that 40% of children in Middlesbrough are living in poverty. Middlesbrough is the second most deprived local authority in the country, and Hull is the fifth. Government cuts are hitting people hard. Our schools serve all of these cities, towns and villages, and we need someone who can serve them. Whitby Central support All our churches and schools are supported by the team at Diocesan House, and by specialised workers around the Diocese. Diocesan House is managed by the Diocesan Secretary, Peter Warry. At Diocesan House there are twenty seven staff (some are part time) including: • the property team who manage the property portfolio (including looking after clergy housing), • the finance team who manage the Diocese’s money, • the pastoral and synodical team who look after parish reorganisations and closed churches, • the church buildings officer who can offer advice about church buildings and churchyards, • the safeguarding officer who help with child protection, • the communications officer who helps share good news stories and manage crises, and • the training team who offer lifelong learning opportunities for lay and ordained ministries. Your colleagues in the Education Team will include the Deputy Director (Claire Graham-Brown) and part-time Assistant Director (Viv Todd), who are responsible for school organisational matters and liaison with local authorities, National Society, the National College for Teaching and Learning and the Department for Education. Education and School Development Advisers Olivia Seymour, Katherine Humpleby and Helen Wren support schools in the areas of religious education, collective worship and the development of the Christian ethos, particularly in preparation for and following SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools).

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION. FORMER publications * of the Camden Society have brought before our notice Richard Duke of Gloucester, as continually engaged in the intrigues of a court or the storms of civil war, while for four centuries both his person and character have been the theme of almost universal vituperation. Into these subjects it is not the province of the editor of the present volume to enter; and, in truth, there is now the less occasion for it, since the volumes of Miss Halsted have appeared in the field of literature. This talented and zealous writer has adduced a host of authorities, apparently proving that his personal deformity existed but in the libels of an opposing faction, perpetuated in the pages of the poet and the novelist; while at the same time her researches seem to throw such light over the darker shades in his chequered career, as to induce the strongest presumption that he was not guilty of, or accessory to, those startling crimes which have been charged to his account. The limits, however, of the brief introduction allotted to this work, compel us to turn our attention from scenes of battle and of blood to other, and to us more interesting portions of his history. When, on the partition f of Warwick's vast domains between the sister heiresses, the lordship and manor of Middleharn, with its ancestral castle, became the fair heritage of Gloucester in * Historic of the Arrival of Edward IV. ; Warkworth's Chronicle ; and Polydore Vergil; being Nos. I. X. and XXVIII. of the Camden Society's publications.

But he breaks his vows as a Nazirite, and leads a life of sex and violence: the stuff of film and opera, of art and poetry. Then he falls in love with Delilah, who uses her feminine wiles and intelligence to find out the secret of his strength. That moment is depicted in this painting of 1537 by the German artist, Lucas Cranach the Younger. We see Samson clad in armour, but barefoot – a sign of vulnerability for Delilah is ready to cut off his hair and so deprive him of his power, symbolised by the jawbone of an earlier victory. The Philistines wait in the background, ready to capture him, while the partridges and fruitful trees are signs of temptation.

  • The Reverend John Michael Blakeley
    The Licensing of The Reverend John Michael Blakeley by the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham The Right Reverend Paul Williams and the Installation by the Archdeacon of Nottingham The Venerable Phil Williams in the presence of The Bishop of Beverley The Right Reverend Glyn Webster Photo credit Jordan Dawson as Priest-in-Charge of St Stephen’s with St Matthias, Sneinton th on Tuesday 15 June 2021 at 7.30pm About this service This is a special service of celebration that marks the beginning of a new phase of ministry both for John and for the people of this community. Although a more limited gathering, necessitated by the requirement to be Covid-19 safe, this service gives the community an opportunity to welcome the priest to their new role, and allows both priest and people to commit themselves to the ministry ahead, praying for God’s leading in it. We are immensely grateful to many who, whilst not able to form part of this evening’s formal welcome, are upholding John and the parish in prayer at this time. The ministry to which John is being appointed is to the local parish and the wider community. The role of the Anglican parish priest is to care for the whole community and to nurture the faithful. They work with all those in the local community, whether they are people of faith or not. Therefore, within this service, the welcome is made by both church and representatives of the wider community. In this service, John is presented to the Bishop and then presented to the community by the Bishop.

  • 70Th Anniversary of Coxwold Cyclists Service
    SEVENTY COXWOLD SUNDAYS A HISTORY OF THE ANNUAL CHURCH SERVICE FOR CYCLE TOURISTS 1927/1996 ST. MICHAEL’S CHURCH COXWOLD, NORTH YORKSHIRE. Cyclists arrive at the lychgate ready for the service. Coxwold, 1987. Revd. Jim Thom with The Archbishop of York, Dr. John Habgood. FOREWORD BY THE FORMER ARCHBISHOP OF YORK, DR. JOHN HABGOOD. When people want to give thanks for something they enjoy, it is right that the Church should help them do so. I am therefore delighted to be able to commend this booklet. It tells the story of an initiative almost seventy years ago which blossomed into a tradition and which, for seventy Sundays, has enabled countless people to thank God for the pleasures of cycling, and for the glorious countryside which their cycles have enabled them to enjoy. In a society in which too many people take too much for granted, such acts of thanksgiving are an important corrective. I hope the tradition may long continue. John Ebor, Bishopthorpe Palace, YORK. 1 FOREWORD BY THE VICAR OF COXWOLD, REVD. D.F.JOHNSON, M.A. A view from the vicarage. I became Vicar on April 29th, 1988. They told me "Cyclists' Service in a fortnight". This, of course, was a woefully inadequate briefing and far too late to invite a visiting preacher anyway. Nowadays, when I invite someone to preach, the sort of thing I say is: "This is a festive occasion. The Church will be packed with a crowd of great people of all ages, predominantly dressed in modern cycling dress, which means skin tight gear in lurid colours.
