  • How Have the Members of the Groups Been Chosen?
    How have the members of the groups been chosen? For the LLF working groups priority was given to finding people with the appropriate subject expertise, while also paying attention to achieving a balance of theological perspectives and representation by LGBTI+ people. In forming the individual groups, it was not always possible to find both – although, across the groups, there is a good balance. Understandably, not all members wish to disclose publicly their personal stories, their identities or even perspectives, so face value conclusions about representation cannot be drawn. The Co-ordinating Group This group has responsibility for designing and implementing the overall production of the Living in Love and Faith teaching and learning resources. In addition, the group has been responsible for informing member churches of the Anglican Communion about the project and inviting their reflections on it, and for consulting other churches and other faith communities with a view to learning from their perspectives and informing them of our work. The Bishop of Coventry, the Rt Rev Dr Christopher Cocksworth - Chair The Bishop of Fulham, the Rt Rev Jonathan Baker The Bishop of Lancaster, the Rt Rev Dr Jill Duff The Bishop of Salisbury, the Rt Rev Nick Holtam The Bishop of Bradford, the Rt Rev Dr Toby Howarth The Bishop of Warrington, the Rt Rev Beverly Mason The Bishop of Thika, the Rt Rev Julius Wanyoike The Bishop of Dorking, the Rt Rev Dr Jo Wells The Rev Alex Clare-Young The Rev Canon Dr Andrew Goddard The Rev Canon Giles Goddard The Rev Dr Jason

  • Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1St October - 31St December
    Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1st October - 31st December What is a Diocese and how do we work together within it? At its simplest, a Diocese is a geographical area; a region; a collection of parishes, benefices, deaneries, archdeaconries. But it is more than that – it is a gathering of all our communities in mutual support for each other. And as the Diocese of Winchester, we each play our part in the growth of God’s Kingdom committed to our vision of ‘living the mission of Jesus’. This prayer diary helps us to get to know each other better, to find out what is happening across the area and to see how God is working and using us all in his mission across the region. The early church shared good news of what was happening across a wide area, as churches grew, and more people came to know Christ. In their commitment to love and care for one another, prayer lay at the heart of their lives. As we use this Prayer Diary, let’s seek to share that love and care for each other and to rejoice in what God is doing amongst us. This month... how might you pray for young people? For example, you might focus on school leavers, students, youth workers, community centres, young people in trouble... How might you be part of the answer to your prayers? For example, you might make a point of smiling at young people in the street; volunteer for a helpline; get involved with your local Further Education College; support parents you know whose young adult children are struggling..

  • Congratulations from Bishop Robert!
    I am delighted to have this opportunity to contribute to your 60th edition. Congratulations! Like all of us in the midst of the pain, sorrow and loss of these last months I have been asking myself what have I to learn from all that has happened, what do I and the church I serve and lead need to hold on to in the coming months and years. Perhaps not surprisingly a large part of that learning has been about the need to communicate well and creatively that we may ‘proclaim the gospel afresh in this generation’. Much of that has been about new digital and online media and I have no doubt that we need to use this and use it well. But I also know that it is not sufficient on its own and to include all (or at least as many as we can) we need to be diverse and inventive. The written word allows a different sort of engagement, perhaps to explore ideas more deeply as the text can be re-read and time and attention given. The written word lasts and can be powerful, encouraging. I am delighted that you share this with your community – listen to Kids Craft them, their needs and go on responding, offering the insights of faith to a world looking for understanding and may you go from strength to Page 15 Congratulations strength in the coming editions. This comes with my prayers, my thanks for you and my blessing. from Bishop Robert! Glad to be Page 2 back!

  • Appointment of Clergy Office Holders a Guide To
    Appointment of clergy office holders A guide to good practice Produced in support of the Ecclesiastical Offices (Terms of Service) Measure 2009 Prepared by TSIP in 2013 for final approval by the Standing Committee of the House of Bishops and updated by RACSC in February 2015 Foreword 1. The process by which people are chosen for particular roles is one of the most important and sensitive in all institutions. The Church of England has, for many years, invested significantly in well resourced and nationally agreed arrangements for discerning the vocation of those called to ordained ministry. But, for a variety of reasons the Church of England has traditionally found it much more difficult to reflect nationally on the processes which come later, once someone is due to be considered for a parochial clergy appointment. 2. There have been a number of reasons for this reticence. The most obvious is the sheer fragmentation of responsibility for making appointments in a church with some 13,000 parishes. The Church of England is not a legal entity and is made up of many different bodies; in many ways it has more the qualities of an organism than an organization. 3. In addition, the patronage system, though much reformed over the years, has continued to make the practical operation of parochial appointments within the Church of England more complex than in many other institutions. In the appointment of incumbents, it remains the patron who has the right of initiative, though an appointment cannot proceed without the consent both of the bishop and of the two parochial representatives.

  • Friday Round up – 31St July (PDF)
    This email has been sent to all Clergy, PTOs, Churchwardens, Secretaries, and all those on our Friday email list. Please Note The Friday Round Up will be taking a break over August. We will send out any important updates as they come in and this email will return in September. As always you can contact the office by emailing [email protected] or calling 07508 801511. Dear Friends, Out and About It was good to be able to get out of Newport to license two parish priests this week. Although the congregation numbers were necessarily limited and no opportunity for a celebration party afterwards, there was nevertheless a real sense of welcome to Chris Walters in Blaenavon and to Dan Frett in Caldicot. Please hold them and their respective churches in your prayers. My sermon was based on Matthew 5: 14-16 on both occasions and can be found here if you would like to read it. Transforming the unjust structures of our society Last week, I referred to the ways in which churches can become more environmentally friendly; taking seriously the 5th mark of mission, one of three themes that I am urging us to focus on in the next 12 months particularly. Another theme is that of poverty and injustice; how we respond to the needs of those in our communities and how we can work to transform the structures of our society such that our world becomes fairer and more equitable. As a church, we have a good track record or meeting human need. The number of churches either running or helping out in foodbanks is just one example of this.

  • Calendar of Intercessions Michaelmas – Advent 2017
    Calendar of Intercessions Michaelmas – Advent 2017 to this edition of the prayer diary, following the Feast St Michael and All Angels until the first Sunday of Advent. There are now two Rochester cycles of prayer – ‘parishes’ and ‘extra- Welcome parochial’. This is an attempt to be a little more even handed with the additional groups who are prayed for as the year turns, and to include our church schools in our prayers. As usual, it’s a sizable document but designed to be quick and clear to read, and also to leave space for your own notes. Of course, you do not have to print it all out at once, and you’re welcome to reformat it, if you wish (a Word version is available from my blog, see website below). Sunday entries are designed to look at some of the bigger pictures in our Diocese – sometimes geographical (deaneries, archdeaconries, link dioceses) sometimes issues or activities (Vocations Sunday). If there is an aspect of diocesan life that you’d like included on a Sunday, do let me know. These are followed through the week by daily prayers from all over the diocese, and across the Anglican Communion, including the calendar of saints and other worthy people. Finally, there is space in the daily entries for you to note any prayer requests that have been made to you or your parish, or any special interests you want to remember in your prayers. Please contact me with any comments or suggestions – [email protected] or 01634 814439. I will also be pleased to provide large print copies to any who would find that helpful.

  • The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.

  • Bishop of Gloucester, Rachel Treweek
    General Synod Safeguarding presentation from Bishop of Gloucester, Rachel Treweek, February 2018 I’m aware that when we talk about safeguarding it engages our hearts, our minds and our guts, and depending on our own experiences, our antennae will be set at different angles. So I hope that in our time of questions there will be opportunity for people to clarify what they’ve heard. I have been asked to say something brief about the Diocese of Gloucester and I look forward to contributing more in response to questions. It was not long after I arrived in Gloucester that Peter Ball, a previous Bishop of Gloucester was finally convicted of horrific abuse - You have the Gibb report (GS Misc. 1172). As I have previously said publicly, I am deeply ashamed of that legacy and deeply sorry; just as I am deeply ashamed and sorry about the abuse people have suffered across the Church which has so often been compounded by wholly inadequate response and a lack of compassion and understanding… .. I do believe that in the present I have the privilege of working with a committed and professional team in Gloucester. And that is not intended to sound defensive. The starting place is the big picture of the good news of the Kingdom of God and the truth that every person is a unique individual with a name, made in the image of God. Transformation, flourishing and reconciliation is at the heart of who God is. Yet we live amid prolific broken relationship including abuse of children and adults, neglect, misused power..

O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son, and give him the glory, great things he hath done. Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, to ev’ry believer the promise of God.

  • Annual Review 2018-2019
    Annual Review 2018-2019 Churchwardens’ Report The year 2018 proved to be a very eventful one for us wardens at St Mary’s. After nearly 8 very happy years of having Richard Sewell’s ministry at St Mary’s, Richard accepted a new posting. We are grateful to Richard and JulieAnn for all they have invested in St Mary’s and our congregation and all the initiatives from which we are now benefitting. We are now a much healthier, happier and welcoming church. On our Patronal Festival, September 16th, we had Richard’s Farewell service where we had Bishop Richard Cheetham preaching. This service also included Richard’s Commissioning service as Dean of St George’s College in Jerusalem, with Southwark as his sending Diocese. This was followed by a reception attended by many. Following Richard’s departure we have had the ongoing support of Sister Margaret Anne and Bishop Richard Harries whose presence and support has been most valuable. We owe them a huge amount of gratitude for supporting us through our interregnum which have contributed to the high number of people continuing to worship at St Mary’s. We have also welcomed a number of interesting and stimulating visiting clergy. We have also had the support of the clergy at St Michael’s., who have taken services at St Mary’s including presiding at marriages which have taken place at our church. We are equally grateful to the support of our readers Geoffrey Barnett and Christabel Gairdner, who have taken on many more duties in the vacancy, guiding us and taking many funerals and interments.
