MOC The Parish of St Mary The Virgin Kenton is in The Diocese of London, part of The Church Of England. (Chaplain to Her Majesty The Queen, Vicar of St. Mary’s & PCC Chairman) The PCC of St Mary The Virgin Kenton, co-operating with the Incumbent, has the responsibility of promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ and mission of The Church, within the parish and more widely. The Church of England has been described as the one institution that exists for the benefit of those outside. Date Page 2 Page 19 Due to the established nature of the Church, everyone within the geographical 3) DEBTORS AND PREPAYMENTS boundaries of the parish can look to St Mary’s as ‘their’ parish church.

Having passed Resolutions A & B under the Priests (Ordination of Women) measure 1992 and in accordance with ‘The TOTAL: 14,051 9,019 London Plan’ the parish is under the episcopal care of the Bishop of Fulham. [As the see of Fulham is currently vacant, the Bishop of Edmonton takes responsibility for Fulham parishes until a new bishop is appointed.] 2 Let it be clear that St Mary’s welcomes everyone and values each person who comes through her doors. Our passion is for souls. We want to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with everyone. We do not feel that the Church of England acting alone can change 2000 years of tradition regarding the priesthood or episcopate by admitting women to either order. Thus, our bishop is one who does not ordain nor would he consecrate women.

  • This 2008 Letter
    The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury & The Most Reverend and Right Hon the Lord Archbishop of York July, 2008 Most Reverend Fathers in God, We write as bishops, priests and deacons of the Provinces of Canterbury and York, who have sought, by God’s grace, in our various ministries, to celebrate the Sacraments and preach the Word faithfully; to form, nurture and catechise new Christians; to pastor the people of God entrusted to our care; and, through the work of our dioceses, parishes and institutions, to build up the Kingdom and to further God’s mission to the world in this land. Our theological convictions, grounded in obedience to Scripture and Tradition, and attentive to the need to discern the mind of the whole Church Catholic in matters touching on Faith and Order, lead us to doubt the sacramental ministry of those women ordained to the priesthood by the Church of England since 1994. Having said that, we have engaged with the life of the Church of England in a myriad of ways, nationally and locally, and have made sincere efforts to work courteously and carefully with those with whom we disagree. In the midst of this disagreement over Holy Order, we have, we believe, borne particular witness to the cause of Christian unity, and to the imperative of Our Lord’s command that ‘all may be one.’ We include those who have given many years service to the Church in the ordained ministry, and others who are very newly ordained. We believe that we demonstrate the vitality of the tradition which we represent and which has formed us in our discipleship and ministry – a tradition which, we believe, constitutes an essential and invaluable part of the life and character of the Church of England, without which it would be deeply impoverished.

  • All Saints Highgate
    All Saints Highgate: a Short History 2 By Pamela Lighthill Prebendary Dalton, the third vicar of St Michael’s, realised that the northern and poorer end of his parish needed a mission church. For a while services were held in a rented room, but the foundation stone for a new church was laid in June 1863 in the presence of large crowds of people. The young architect was Arthur Blomfield, a son of the previous Bishop of London and Prebendary Dalton’s brother-in-law. The church was built on the edge of woods, and a road was made linking the Archway Road with North Hill. The new church was shorter and narrower than the present-day one, with the door in the north wall of the nave. Whereas St Michael’s had accommodation for 1,520 persons including 520 free seats, All Saints’ was built for 300 persons and there would be no pew rents. 3 All Saints’ was duly consecrated on Saturday 30th January 1864 by the Bishop of London, Dr Archibald Tait. To begin with the church was extremely draughty, so a porch was built around the door in the north wall. Gas lighting was implemented and late in 1866 an organ was installed in a chamber built against the south wall of the chancel. The construction of the vault beneath the organ chamber revealed inadequate drainage to the south of the church. The problem was tackled, but has resurfaced in recent times. In 1865 the congregation of St Michael’s paid for the installation of the East window, a memorial to Prebendary Dalton’s two sons, who had tragically died, one at 17 years, the other aged 15.
