  • 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.

The Hebrew scriptures speak of a Jubilee Year in Despite these achievements, over the last thirty which unpayable debts should be cancelled. The years there has been a series of debt crises Gospel writer, Luke, records that Jesus began his culminating in the present one in Europe.

  • Faith Leaders' Open Letter to the Prime Minister
    http://interfaithrefugeeinitiative.org/ We are leaders from Britain’s major faiths: Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Zoroastrian. All our faiths compel us to affirm the dignity of all human beings and to offer help to anyone in need. As people of faith, we call on your Government urgently to revise its policy towards refugees. The best of this country is represented by the generosity, kindness, solidarity and decency that Britain has at many times shown those fleeing persecution, even at times of far greater deprivation and difficulty than the present day. We rejoice in the mosaic of different faiths and British communities that we now represent. We are proud that in May 2016, in a survey by Amnesty International, 83% of Britons said they would welcome refugees into their neighbourhoods and households. In the face of the unfolding human catastrophe, there are immediate and viable steps that the Government can take to offer sanctuary to more refugees. We call on you to create safe, legal routes of travel, for example by adopting fair and humane family reunion policies for refugees. Under the present immigration rules, a British doctor of Syrian origin could not bring her parents from a refugee camp in Lebanon – even though they were refugees and she could support and house them. A Syrian child who arrived alone in the UK could not bring his parents from a refugee camp in Jordan – even if the child were recognised a refugee and even though his parents were themselves refugees. Families in these situations can currently be reunited only by resorting to desperately unsafe irregular journeys, sometimes ending in avoidable tragedies.

  • A Message from Bishop Paul to All Clergy, Licensed Lay Ministers and Church Officers
    Wednesday 6th May 2020 A MESSAGE FROM BISHOP PAUL TO ALL CLERGY, LICENSED LAY MINISTERS AND CHURCH OFFICERS Dear Friends, Following a meeting of the House of Bishops yesterday, the Church of England has communicated the following update concerning a suggested 3-phase approach to revising access to church buildings: - https://www.churchofengland.org/more/media-centre/news/house-bishops-backs- phased-approach-revising-access-church-buildings The Bishops agreed that the decision on the timing of when to implement this revised advice should be made by individual Diocesan Bishops, in light of local circumstances. Having consulted senior colleagues, including Area Deans, I am advising that clergy make preparations to enter church buildings from next week, with streaming of services from church buildings where appropriate and possible from Sunday 17th May. This will permit us time to digest the Government information on the ‘direction of travel’ towards easing some restrictions which is due to be set out on Sunday, whilst also following the national Church of England guidance that will be updated over the next few days. On this and other matters, please continue therefore to look out for the regular diocesan email communication update from Archdeacon Phil Williams. We want to ensure that appropriate, comprehensive and thoughtful guidance can be provided to assist clergy and church officers over the next weeks as we move through various phases of returning to church buildings. For now, please be clear that church buildings remain closed. Some clergy will conclude they can continue to offer ministry most effectively from home, including online resources and services, whilst others will be pleased next week to enter church buildings for private prayer and to stream services from our buildings, closely following national guidance.
