  • A Report on the Developments in Women's Ministry in 2018
    A Report on the Developments in Women’s Ministry in 2018 WATCH Women and the Church A Report on the Developments in Women’s Ministry 2018 In 2019 it will be: • 50 years since women were first licensed as Lay Readers • 25 years since women in the Church of England were first ordained priests • 5 years since legislation was passed to enable women to be appointed bishops In 2018 • The Rt Rev Sarah Mullaly was translated from the See of Crediton to become Bishop of London (May 12) and the Very Rev Viv Faull was consecrated on July 3rd, and installed as Bishop of Bristol on Oct 20th. Now 4 diocesan bishops (out of a total of 44) are women. In December 2018 it was announced that Rt Rev Libby Lane has been appointed the (diocesan) Bishop of Derby. • Women were appointed to four more suffragan sees during 2018, so at the end of 2018 12 suffragan sees were filled by women (from a total of 69 sees). • The appointment of two more women to suffragan sees in 2019 has been announced. Ordained ministry is not the only way that anyone, male or female, serves the church. Most of those who offer ministries of many kinds are not counted in any way. However, WATCH considers that it is valuable to get an overview of those who have particular responsibilities in diocese and the national church, and this year we would like to draw attention to The Church Commissioners. This group is rarely noticed publicly, but the skills and decisions of its members are vital to the funding of nearly all that the Church of England is able to do.

  • 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.

  • Work-In-Worship.Pdf
    WORK IN WORSHIP (Revised edition 1997) A COLLECTION OF MATERIAL FOR THOSE COMPILING "WORK THEME" SERVICES Compiled and edited by David Welbourn 1 CONTENTS Introduction Section 1: Prayer Material for Services 5 Section 2: Hymns, Psalms & Poems 89 Section 3: Readings 113 Section 4: Sermons 138 Section 5: Sample Services 165 Section 6: Private Prayer 225 2 INTRODUCTION The previous edition of Work in Worship was published in 1985. It has served its purpose well, but now looks considerably dated - for example in the way it assumed that work is typically male, full-time and in manufacturing industry, as well as in its use of gender-exclusive language. A new edition is now needed, one that takes into account the very changed - and ever-changing - work scene of today. The opportunity is also taken to incorporate some of the valuable new material produced since 1985. The retention of our original title, however, indicates that we still stand four-square behind the aims of the first Work in Worship; that is, our purpose is to provide material which will assist clergy and others in the task of compiling "work theme" church services. The most significant differences from the 1985 edition are that (1) we now include whole "sample" services (presenting, as it were, complete meals not just individual dishes); and (2) we offer the material in electronic format. We provide Prayer Material for Services under various headings – Opening, Thanksgiving etc – which are intended as building-blocks for a work-theme service. But before going any further, let us briefly consider some basic principles of service compilation, and ask ourselves what purposes should be served in services of worship.

    Welcome to the Diocese of York The Diocese of York is a family of 607 churches and 127 schools in 470 parishes, stretching from the Humber to the Tees and the A1 to the coast. We hope this pack will give you a good idea of what it might be like to live and work in the Diocese of York. Contents: Vision and mission Living in the Diocese Housing and money Ministry together Lifelong learning Spiritual sustenance York Minster Central support Young people Who’s who “We will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” Ephesians 4:14 & 15 Vision and mission We have a vision of 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 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 Becoming like Christ is the fundamental call of Christian discipleship. It is not always easy to assess, but we often recognise the flavour of a life becoming more godly. • Commitment Commitment itself has several features, including: commitment to God, to seeking God’s kingdom, to Christ’s body the Church. • Partnership Working with other churches, locally and globally, with schools, community groups, people, organisations for the common good, peace, justice and a healthy environment.

  • 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. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.
