No wonder Jesus used the image of yeast for the way the Kingdom of God grows. As she makes her bread my friend also thinks of the Bread of Life, Jesus Christ, who gives himself as bread for the life of the world (John 6.51).

  • Episcopacy in the Diocese of Truro: See of St. Germans
    11/9/19 v5.7 Episcopacy in the Diocese of Truro: See of St. Germans September 2019 1 11/9/19 v5.7 1. Introduction: the Diocesan Vision The over-arching vision for the Diocese of Truro is ‘Discovering God’s Kingdom; Growing the Church’. This has been enthusiastically embraced and promoted by the new Diocesan Bishop, the Rt. Revd. Philip Mounstephen, who was installed as the 16th Bishop of Truro in January 2019. Within the broader context of this vision, Bishop Philip encourages the Diocese to see itself as part of an unfolding narrative: the story of what God has been doing, distinctively, in Cornwall over many centuries; of what he is still doing, and of what he will yet do: We in Cornwall are inheritors of a remarkable and distinctive Christian heritage stretching back many centuries, possibly to the very earliest days of the Christian faith. This is a land where the gospel has been shared with passion and commitment, and at risk to life and limb, from the days of Piran and Petroc through to the days of John Wesley, Henry Martyn and Billy Bray, to name just a few. And just as the good news has been shared within Cornwall, so it has been shared far and wide beyond these shores. This too has been a place of imagination and creativity which has significantly shaped the wider world. We are happy inheritors of that heritage. And above all else, this has been a place which God has blessed richly, in which he is still imparting his blessing, and where he will do so in the future.

  • GS Misc 1172 an Abuse of Faith
    GS Misc 1172 The Independent Peter Ball Review AN ABUSE OF FAITH 1 FOREWORD “He said it was God’s will1” This report considers the serious sexual wrongdoing of Peter Ball, a bishop of the Church of England (the Church), who abused many boys and men over a period of twenty years or more. That is shocking in itself but is compounded by the failure of the Church to respond appropriately to his misconduct, again over a period of many years. Ball’s priority was to protect and promote himself and he maligned the abused. The Church colluded with that rather than seeking to help those he had harmed, or assuring itself of the safety of others. Much of what we report has already been aired in the public domain but we have been surprised by how unclear the picture was, even to many who were quite close to what happened. In part that is a consequence of misinformation used by Ball. We hope that a clear and detailed account of what happened will help all involved. Most of the events described in this report took place many years ago. Some beliefs, attitudes and moral norms have changed. The standards and expectations of safeguarding practice, both in the Church and more widely, were different then. We do not think that the Church now would conduct itself in the ways we have described. We believe that the Church’s attitude to homosexuality at the time played a part in the failure to act appropriately. Ball’s abusive behaviour was trivialised and its consequences were set aside.
